Healthy Chocolate Gaining Credence According to Consumer Survey

The results of a consumer survey on Healthy Chocolate suggests that the substance, once considered solely as a sweet confectionery item, has made huge strides towards the realm of health foods.

The survey was conducted on behalf of a cocoa manufacturer with about 1,000 consumers in each of Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and the U.K. On average, 35.6 percent of people asked indicated that they would buy chocolate that promised health benefits.

The results are, understandably, being used as to boost marketing of healthy cocoa products, and ingredients that hold the healthy cocoa polyphenols. The findings hold good news for the healthy chocolate sector at large.

It appears that consumers in major European markets grasp the difference between chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 per cent has been researched for it's health benefits.

Sugar laden products, that contain Cocoa are considered by to be junk food of little nutritional value.

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

Conference Calls Schedule

Many thanks to our last conference call speaker, Youngevity's® newest Scientific Advisory Board addition, Dr. Melinda Silva, M.D. Dr. Silva who joined the call to discuss the scientific benefits of mineral makeup, and, more specifically, the Youngevity® Mineral Makeup Collection™, which she endorses!

Dr. Silva emphasized that Mineral Makeup is a safe and beneficial alternative to bigger brand makeup lines that are comprised of chemicals and unnatural ingredients.

Michelle Wallach and Vanessa Hunter also spoke about their experience with the Mineral Makeup Collection, having also shared the Foundation and Professional Brush kit with friends and family.

Vanessa elaborated on the benefits of using Mineral Makeup to conceal blemishes, age spots and other undesirable imperfections on the face by using the Ultimate Concealer Brush. She also identified the other brushes contained in the Professional Brush Kit and explained their various uses.

Communication - 'The Golden Rule'

You've joined The Youngevity® Team and you're excited because your downline is starting to grow. . . but now what do you do? How will you keep your new team members interested and motivated? Whether you have realized it or not, you have now taken on the roll of manager, for your downline. The Associates below you will need your motivation, guidance and assistance if they are to make money for themselves and, in turn, make money for you. The biggest mistake you can probably make is to think that once you've signed someone up, the hard work is over. Well, as any experienced marketer will tell you, the fortune is in the follow-up. Therefore, when you've recruited someone into your organization, the work has only just begun.

One problem you will find, is that people join your business, and then do nothing. It is surprising, but a great deal of your downline will probably remain inactive. So, why do these people join? Well, there can be many reasons. Some people join this business out of curiosity, others to start their own business, whilst others may not know why they have joined! It's up to you, therefore, to motivate your recruits into action. Now, this is not necessarily as difficult as it may seem, provided that you remember the golden rule: Communication!!!

There is nothing worse than joining a new program and being left to it with no advice or help from anyone. So, it is important to start off on the right footing, by communicating with your new members from the outset and keep it going. Here are a few ways that you can achieve this.

Send a welcoming letter to all new applicants.
If someone has joined your organization, thank them for doing so. Let them feel welcome and a part of your team. Make sure that they are fully aware of how the program works, and offer help and advice if they need it.

Answer all inquiries quickly.
If somebody does ask for help, don't ignore them, or it may be the last you'll hear from them. Even if you don't know the answer immediately, a quick note back to say, "I don't know, but I'll find out", will be much appreciated. But, do remember to get back to them as soon as you can.

Don't get frustrated with basic questions.
Keep in mind that what appears to be a basic question to you, may not be to somebody new to the business. Just remember, if they are contacting you, then at least they are they are communicating with you.

Use the "Email Message Center" in Home Office.
Email your people often. Tell them the latest news on your program or give them hints and tips. If you haven't got much to say, then tell them a joke, tell them anything. Just remind them you are there.

Don't be afraid to repeat yourself.
It's always a good idea to save some of your messages, and repeat them periodically. Remember that your more recent recruits won't have seen your earlier messages, and it never does any harm for your long-time downline members to re-read an earlier email. Conventional wisdom states that a person needs to hear a message seven times before they actually "hear" it.

Communication is the secret to managing your downline. Like all businesses, its most valuable resource is the people who work for it. Therefore, since people like to talk, talk to them!
