What I learned: Day 2 at Bloem ’24

Leaving for Day 2

Day 2 started at -1 degrees celsius outside the accomodation. My eye felt much better and I was ready for a day of absorbing and epiphanies.

Literature Room

Doors opened at 08h30 and we started at 09h30. This gave people a chance to get some Eagle Team literature in the literature room before the event started.

MC:

Emanuel Band

Home Care Products

Isabel Tete (Mozambique)

Isabel from Mozambique (a mother of twins) gives us a session on demonstrating the home care products. She mentions how we need to use these products to save ourselves and the environment. Eddie from our group goes on stage and assists with the LDC and Super 10 Demonstration.

Panel: Skin Care

Rose Baruti, Graca Samo, Tessa Duane

  • Graca had a testimonial about her son who had very dry skin and they started using PCC & Body Lotion (as well as body luv).
  • Tessa said that by the time average lady elaves home after creams & make-up et. has put on over 200 toxins on their skin. Support your body naturally so that your cells regenerate naturally. A good skin barrier protects against environmental toxins.
  • Graca adds that with our nutrients, your products don’t need exfoliants because the nutrients in our products give you what you are getting from the exfoliants.

Lavern Panel

Lavern Smith (USA) joined by Mellissa Butler (SA) and Olivia from Mozambique

  • Lavern spoke about someone they helped in America who was had Pancreas and Liver cancer. She played a video of this lady who told her story. Lavern made a note that God made our body in such a way that if we feed it the right nutrients, it will heal itself.
  • Melissa Butler told her story of using a synthetic iron supplement that wasn’t working for her. As our iron supplement was no longer available, Melissa was advised to take Multi Mineral plus alfalfa (6 to 9 per day). Thanks to this Melissa recovered and is now feeling much better.

Super Gro Panel

Bingi Nyakwela joined by Raymond Baruti

  • Super Gro is a farming product, and is registered as a fertilizer in Tanzania.
  • It is 100% non-toxic and is biodegradeable.
  • Super Gro is a wetting agent which breaks the surface tension of water making soil softer, allowing roots to get further where the nutrients are.
  • PLants grow faster and more evenly.
  • Mix Super Gro with your pesticide, and it will act as a glue to help the pesticide stick to the plant and do its work for the duration it is supposed to work. As it acts as a glue, Super Gro also helps flowers stick on the plant through heavy rain and wind which in turn secures a higher yield as well.

Super Gro is extremely cost-effective:

  • Use less fertilizer as the roots get the nutrients they need from the soil.
  • Use less water because using Super Gro leads to more efficient use of the water as the roots can get further down to where the nutrients and water is.
  • Use less pesticides because you the pesticides stay on the plant for the duration they are supposed to be there, and are not rained or watered off the plant.
  • You get better yields with healthier plants which means more profits!
They shared a carrot grown on Charlie’s farm which is over 30cm long . Charlie Bolton uses Super Gro.

Panel: Developing Customers

Hosiana Sanga joined by Stella Marema, Aunie Kalume

  • People have problems & we have the solutions.
  • Stella speaks about how customer retention is all about a professional follow up system. Check in how they are doing, feeling, their energy. Check that they are using the products correctly. Keep up-selling. Suggest new a new product to them or a new product range that they may not be using yet.
  • When customers say it is expensive, don’t say it is cheap because some people don’t like cheap things. Rather say it is unique and exclusive and you won’t get it anywhere else.
  • Be confident about the efficacy of the products. The products work and they work well. Tell people: “The product works, it has worked for so many people”.
  • Go out and talk with confidence about the product.
  • Ensure you build good relationships by having a good attitude, ethics and integrity.

Prospecting & Approach

Jose Machado (Mozambique) joined by Matheus Karombo, Husna Mkupete

  • A prospecting approach: “Would you join my project, where you earn the money you are earning now, probably more and still have time for your family?”
  • Relate well with people, develop your people skills.
  • A prospect is someone with potential to be invited to look at the products and/or the business.
  • Where you go, where you are, you are an ambassador of NeoLife.
  • We have a Golden Opportunity.
  • Smile, be positive, Enjoy the prospecting process and make it fun for you, compliment, good vibes.
  • First Impression is most important.
  • Give what is necesary and what is true.
  • If you want to go far, go with others.
  • Sharing is caring.

Lunch Time

For Lunch I chose option two which included:

Lucky Draw

After lunch, we started with a lucky draw. We got wrist bands when arriving at the venue. The wrist band we kept on for the weekend and it had a number on it which is the number linked to the lucky draw.

Recognition

Next up was recognition. Here we recognize achievements at all levels of the business. This part of the program also happens at our monthly rally.

Kelechi Okoh

  • Sponsor yourself out of trouble.
  • Self-Talk is crucial
  • Each of us have a unique story and journey. You cannot be someone else.
  • Decide to sow seed.
  • We overcome challenges so we can help others break the limitations around them.
  • Build your business in a way that it can work without you.
  • The greatest form of deception is self-deception. Come down from your high horse and drop your ego, go out and help other people through this business.

Panel: The qualities of a leader

Kelechi Okoh joined by Adelina Machado (Mozambique) Bingy Nyakwela

  • Our business is a factory.
  • Once you decide to become a NeoLife distributor you are a leader. As a leader you have to be God fearing. You have to be a servant, and you have to be teachable, always ready to learn from everyone around you.
  • When people say no, it is because they don’t know what we are offering them.
  • NeoLife has a mission and a vision. Eagle Team has a mission and a vision. As a leader you need to operate within and hold the values of NeoLife and the Eagle Team high.
  • As a leader you need to lead by example, be reliable, and be consistent.
  • When you become a leader, the first person you need to lead is yourself.

Panel: Importance of setting goals

Aune Kalume and Deborah Maluku

  • Every year you need to have your annual goals.
  • Those annual goals get divided into monthly and then weekly goals.
  • You need to set your weekly goals every Sunday.
  • Your goals need to be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time bound.
  • Every day needs to be divided into time blocks.
  • After this weekend, you need to say to yourself: “I will never be the same again” and then review your goals.

Alta Bolton: Taking Ownership

  • You have to realise and say to yourself: “It is my business”.
  • Your upline cannot build the business for you.
  • Take ownership as a leader and prioritize looking after your nursery (New people & customers), then your team (Directors and up), then the rest of your group.
  • Don’t talk about minimums.
  • It is results and earning money that keeps people in the business.
  • When you do an event, involve your downlines.

Tell me and I will forget

Show me and I will remember

Involve me and I will learn

Let go and Let God

Alta Bolton

Panel: Financial Management

Bingy Nyakwela (Tanzani) joined by Lavern Smith

Bingi mentioned that Vita Guard is sometimes called “Twinkle Twinkle”.

Lavern spoke about the importance of splitting your income:

  • 10% Give it away
  • 10% Save towards something
  • 10% Emergency Savings
  • 10% Vacation Savings

Charlie Bolton closes the meeting

  • 80% start for more money.
  • If you want to grow your business, quit looking for employees. Look for entrepreneurs.
  • Africa is a real place. The rest of the world is make-believe.
  • You can build this business without your own money. When you speak to people who don’t have the money for the product now, take a deposit from them and set a follow up date to bring the product when you will get the balance of the product money. BV is related to income.
  • 1 PV is roughly R12
  • Keep the business very simple. Whiteboard, 10 names, 2 calls, set appointments with them. Have with you in a folder an application and order form, the product catalogue, a Lifestyle magazine, and the 6x2x2 plan printout.
  • You have two options, you can die healthy and wealthy, or you can die sick and broke.

Candlelight Ending

The candlelight ceremony is a highlight of every Bloemfontein meeting. Charlie & Alta light the candles of everyone they sponsored into the business. Those people then light the candles of the people who joined them, and so on.

Note that it costs nothing to light another’s candle.

By the end of the ceremony, everyone in the crowd has their candle lit.
