How Clean is Your House? Channel 4, 8pm, 17 May 2007

Kleeneze’s anticipated sponsorship of Channel 4’s How Clean is Your House gets underway next month. To coincide with the sponsorship campaign, Kleeneze have been appealing to the network for cleaning tips and ideas.  Whether it’s a secret method for busting grime or a handy way of eliminating household nasties, Kleeneze want to hear from you!

It may be that your tip simply involves a concoction of readily available household ingredients, as favoured by Kim and Aggie, the “Queens of Clean�?; but if you can recommend an indispensable Kleeneze product then so much the better. The tips will be used to help promote Kleeneze’s connection with the show.

The PR campaign surrounding the sponsorship is now in motion and has generated substantial interest from well-known industry titles such as Marketing Magazine. Ultimately, the intention is to raise maximum awareness of the Kleeneze brand amongst its core audience. As Patrick Jolly said at the New Year Conference: “We are going to shout Kleeneze from the rooftops!”

The campaign will spearhead a massive drive in brand awareness.  Never before will the Kleeneze brand have had such media exposure and sales and recruitment is sure to take a massive upturn in the coming months.  An 84 yeat established brand name, already known and trusted by 70% of the population, Kleeneze will be taken to new heights as the business drives ahead into the future.

Kriss Akabusi – three-time Olympic medallist and one of the UK’s most respected motivational speakers - has been confirmed as the guest speaker for the Kleeneze Summer Sales Conference on 23 June. Kriss founded The Akabusi Company following an incredibly successful athletic and media career. His FIT4Business speech captivates audiences and encapsulates the passion that top athletes need to achieve victory.

His presentation will encourage team synergy and inspire you all to become ‘world-class business athletes’. The presentation will prove invaluable to all those looking to reach specific targets and achieve greater team success. This star booking is just one of a number of exciting new changes in what promises to be a marathon summer conference. Attendees can expect an event with a difference which will help you to improve on five key areas of your business: teamwork, goal setting, training, recognition, and drive and determination.

Kleeneze conferences typically attract over 5,000 people from right across the network who come together as teams, receive top training from Kleeneze’s most successful leaders and give prospects a taste for the business. In fact, it will be one of the best opportunities of the year for signing people into the Kleeneze Opportunity – so make sure you bring guests!  This is to be the first Kleeneze conference under Findel ownership and so not to be missed.

The Halifax report last week announced that public sector workers such as teachers, nurses, police and firefighters cannot afford to buy homes in seven out of 10 UK towns. The report stated that while property was most unafforable in London and the South-East, the gap between wages and property prices was also growing in other areas of the country.

Of 517 towns and local authorities surveyed by the bank, 363 (70%) were deemed unaffordable. In 2002, just over a third of towns were beyond the means of public sector workers looking to buy property, last year that figure rose to 65%.

While these figures are dire reading for first time buyers, a silver lining for anyone in our industry is the fact that there has never been more need for an extra income in most households.  A job is unlikely to provide enough income for most people to get onto the housing ladder and so home based businesses such as Kleeneze are going to boom over the next few years.  Proff again that this is the ‘right place, at the right time’.

The new new Cabouchon Spring/Summer 2007 collection is now our.  The new Cabouchon catalogue is a real gem. The eight-page booklet features new ranges which have been specially introduced for the new season, as well as additions to some of the most popular existing lines.

On page 2 of the collection your customers will find a brand new range – Rose Blush. In delicate pinks, it offers feminine, fairytale appeal for the spring, and will complement lighter-coloured outfits for both day and evening wear. Your customers can choose from eight different items (including pendant, necklace, bracelet, two different brooches and three different sets of earrings) or opt for the entire set – an ideal gift.

New items have also been added to A Touch of Class and Bohemian Fusion – two of Cabouchon’s best-selling lines. The former now includes a stud pendant, circular pendant and a set of earrings, while the latter now offers two new sets of earrings. Both ranges were extended because of their fresh colours and spring appeal. 

A twelve-page brochure is due to follow later on in the summer with the intention of updating the collection in line with the latest seasonal fashion trends. These are fantastic developments for everyone in the network and further reasons to make the most of the huge sales potential that Cabouchon offers.

The average wage in the UK is £447 per week (Source: www.statistics.gov.uk).  Now part of that income will go towards rent/mortage, council tax, gas, electric, water, home and mobile phone, Internet, TV license, fuel and car maintenance and a whole host of other necessities.  A further slice goes on food, drink, clothing, cosmetics, household essentials etc. Then there are children’s clothes and other costs to think about, not to mention pet food and vets fees…

The point is this - what percentage of the average monthly income goes on these necessities?  For many people it will actually be around 110% meaning they go more into the red each month.  For those who do manage to stick to their budget, rather than living in sin with their flexible friends, the amount left over each month for luxuries (going out, holidays, savings etc.) is not likely to be more than £200.

£200 lifestyle money - that’s about all most people have (if they’re lucky!) and yet we can show people how to earn an extra £200 - £400 per month in just a few hours each week.  By giving up Coronation Street for a couple of evenings each week, the average person can double their spending money, and over time that £200 can grow to £2000 and beyond if they so wish.

We have an amazing opportunity to offer people.  A way of truly changing people’s lives and lifestyles, but they will only find out about it if we do our job properly, promote our business opportunity and give people the information they need to make an informed decision - so go and change someone’s life today!

Kleeneze is different to every other Network Marketing business I know of.  Normally in Network Marketing a distributor pitches a product, and depending on the outcome of their sales pitch they then pitch the business opportunity.  With Kleeneze we can operate in a very different way, using the catalogues to drive the retail side of the business (which gives us much higher than usual average personal sales) and pitching the business opportunity to people who really have expressed an interest.

What that means is that for anyone whose only aim is to earn £200 - £400 extra per month in their spare time, they can do that purely on the basis of personal retail sales.  Since the catalogue does the selling (we really just collect and deliver orders) and it’s not a skilled job, anyone can do it regardless of background or ability.  However, for those wanting to earn more, change their lifestyle, or have a more secure longterm income, we need to look at sponsoring a team.

Most people sponsor a friend, relative, colleague or customer for their first couple of team members, but to start sponsoring seriously a certain level of investment is required.  Here are the basic tools required to start building a business:

• Interactive Training System (ITS) - We use a voicemail system (ITS) extensively within the business and it makes a huge difference.  Not only do we use it for training, and keeping in contact with the team, we also use it as an answering service for people responding to adverts, leaving our time free to build the business.
• Business Cards - An absolute necessity for any serious networker.  Have a supply of cards everywhere you go, give them to everyone you meet and you’ll soon see the leads come flooding in.
• Badge - Make sure you wear a badge/button all the time.  People do read them and it’s an easy icebreaker to get into a conversation about the business.
• Computer - Not essential but extremely useful, a computer with Internet access will make running your Kleeneze business much easier, and it will open up options for online lead generation.
• Plan - They say a rough plan started today is better than a perfect plan started next week, but some sort of plan is required.  It won’t be perfect to begin with - but you can readjust it as needed with the help of your sponsor.  However basic it is, a plan is absolutely essential: Failure to plan, is planning to fail!

That’s it!  How many businesses can you start with so little?  Sure you could add another 50 items to this list, but they are all optional extras.  Some of them will make your life easier, some will help you build the business faster but the items above will get you off on the right foot and into a team leader role quickly so long as you follow your upline’s system and put the effort in.
