Interest Growing Over Whey Protein

The growing popularity of Whey Protein is creating new opportunities and a renewed need for nutrition education.

Whey has long been used for its functional properties, but it is also now increasingly being added because of its nutritional properties.

It is natural, and can be used by food makers to reformulate their products to take out less beneficial additives.

Recent studies have also helped to bolster the ingredient's reputation. New research, published online in the Journal Food Research International suggested that modification of Whey Protein concentrates with high phospholipids proportions could turn standard emulsifiers into functional health promoting ingredients.

Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams !!!!

Networking That Builds Business

Established Associates and those new to the business often have a difference of opinion about networking. The old-timers usually say that networking is one of their most important sources of business, while the newcomers frequently claim to put a lot of effort into networking without seeing much return. What's going on here? Let's define the kind of networking that builds business. It's not just circulating through a room exchanging business cards. A broader view of networking is creating a pool of contacts from which you can draw clients, referrals, resources, ideas, and information.

Your business network can and should contain colleagues, a wide range of business people, and personal friends, as well as customers and prospects. Meeting people at organized events is one of the easiest ways to build an extensive network. The first secret to effective networking is choosing the right kind of events to attend.

Don't spend all your time networking within your industry. Be sure that some of the events you go to are also attended by potential recruits and customers, and by other professionals who may be able to refer business to you. Here are some popular choices for networking events: Chamber of Commerce mixers, workshops, and award ceremonies, service clubs such as Rotary and Kiwanis, trade and professional association meetings where customers, recruits, or potential referral sources gather lectures, workshops, conferences, and fundraisers hosted by educational institutions, community organizations, and affinity groups social, cultural, and sporting events that include receptions or other mix-and-mingle time, and private gatherings organized for the purpose of meeting new people.

The way to get the most value from a group is to be a member of it. You will have more success in your networking if you go back to the same groups over and over than if you keep going to new groups all the time. Find two or three that seem to have the right mix of people, and keep going back. Here's the second secret to effective networking: if you don't follow up with the people you meet, you are wasting your time in meeting them. It is simply untrue that prospects will "call when they are ready." The truth is that if people have met you only once, they probably don't even remember you, and it's even less likely that they will remember where they put your card.

Follow up with the people you meet immediately. For those that are potential recruits or customers, call to reintroduce yourself. Describe what you are offering, determine their level of interest, and invite them to take the next step by attending a presentation or party, or viewing your catalog. When you meet people in a position to lead you to more prospects or refer business in the future, call them to suggest coffee or lunch, or offer to stop by. In either case, after making contact, put them in your calendar to follow up with again in a month or two. If this sounds like hard work, you're right. Building relationships takes time and effort. But these relationships are the core of networking.

The people in your network should be people you truly enjoy interacting with, because if you're doing it right, you'll be spending a lot of time with them. And that's the final secret of effective networking the one that separates the successful Associates from the newcomer who may not make it. Networking takes time to pay off. You need to put in the effort now, and trust that you will see results later. The Associates who followed that rule when THEY were new are now the established successes who can tell newcomers that networking really works.
