Experts Discuss DRIs, With Vitamin D Changes Getting Strong Support

The Upper Limit (UL) of Vitamin D should be raised to 250 mcg, per day the Institute of Medicine heard last week, as experts discussed the state-of-play of DRIs and ULs.

The nutrient has been linked to health benefits ranging from reduced risk of osteoporosis and fractures, to lower incidences of certain types of cancer. Coupled with the absence of adverse effects at higher doses, and with many experts advocating supplements as the safest and most consistent source of the vitamin, this could lead to a sales boost for vitamin D.

John Hathcock, Ph D, Vice President of Scientific & International affairs at the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), along with other prominent independent experts, is calling for the UL (Upper Limit) to be raised to 250 micrograms per day, equivalent to 10,000 International Units (IU). (The UL should not be confused with the RDI which is currently 400 IU)

Until Next Week,
Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams !!!!

This Week's Conference Call

Many thanks to last week's featured Conference Call speaker, Diamond Debra Flanders who joined the call with her guest Brenda Wehrman to discuss the best ways to attract media attention to your events!

Debra and Brenda shared their thoughts on the power behind public access television and its audience. Public access TV presents a great opportunity for exposure in a non-commercial environment and offers leverage that you could not find in another avenue. Debra and Brenda suggest contacting your local cable station, and if you are unsure of how to do this, access your city council via the town website or with a telephone call, in order to schedule a time slot to host your own television show!

A good way to pitch your show would be to use the angle of advertising a free seminar on the aspects of better healthcare. Brenda said that, on average, a television show will get eight to ten airings, and most stations may even pick up the episode three months after the last airing for another eight to ten show cycle if the content proves to be informational. Debra and Brenda recommend using a "call to action", not persuading your audience to purchase particular products, so much as giving information about how to maximize health, and supplying your personal contact information for further assistance.

Tonight, Diamond Fred Glass will begin the call with his sales approach...the connection between Rebound Fx™ and the benefits it provides him during challenging sports activities. Diamond Daniel Young will also join the call to share his game plan for achieving Founders Club status.

Be sure to join us tonight and every Thursday evening at 5:00 PM Pacific, (303) 664-6005, ID number 801-6610. If tonight's conference call is not convenient, please reference the Conference Call Schedule for something that fits your schedule, and plan to join us then. Help reduce background noise, please remember: *6 to mute, *7 to un-mute.



Should I Lead with The Business or The Products?

That's a popular question.

Some people insist you lead with the business, while others say they'd rather lead with the products. Who's right? The answer is they both are. However, there is not a "best way" that will suit everyone. You need to decide which way will work the best for you.

Here are five questions that may help you decide.
  1. What really excites you more - the products or the business opportunity?

  2. What do you identify with more - the products or the business?

  3. What do you believe you can do better - talk about the products (and your experience with them) or the business?

  4. Where do you have more credibility and believability - your product experience or your business experience?

  5. What is your tolerance for rejection? Rejection may be higher if you lead with the business rather than the products, depending on who you approach.

Remember, there is no best way, only the "what works best for me" way, so follow that inner voice. One thing is for sure; we never know until we try! Once you have given this a try, you may wish to experiment with other methods to fine tune your approach. You may find that a combination of products and business works well for you!

To be quite honest we do not know what the outcome will be for sure, do we? So try to start with as many advantages as you can. Know yourself, find your true passion, act on that information. Then you will have given yourself the best possible chance for success.
