The Simplicity of Network MarketingNetwork marketing. When you hear the term, what goes through your mind? I bet I can answer. It's a Pyramid Scheme! Something to do with advertising! Amway! It's a bad thing! I don't know! Well, the truth is, it's pretty simple. For example. Have you been to a great resturant, and told all your friends about it? And based on your referral, they went? Have you seen a good movie, and told your friends that the movie was 'awesome, you have to go see it'? Well folks what you just did was network marketing. In plain English, marketing is 'word of mouth referring'. That's it. We do it all the time. But when you get into the business of network marketing, you are taking advantage of what you already do, and getting PAID for your efforts. One thing people need to understand about network marketing, is that it's also about building a rapport, relationships with others. As you do that, you build trust and credibility among others. And when you SHARE with that person your service, product, or business opportunity, you will be taken more seriously, and you won't have to do a 'sales pitch' People join YOU, not your business/service/product. That comes secondary. I'm in the business of travel with TraVerus. And network marketing is how we get paid. I could easily go to Expedia, or Orbitz, or Travelocity to book my flights, but did you know? The reason why you hear about all of these companies is because they spend MILLIONS of our dollars on advertising? Did you know that Expedia spends about $5 million or more on advertising per week? 80% of their revenues go back into advertising. Quick facts: Travel is the #1 researched word on the internet. Travel is the LARGEST industry in the world, generating 7 TRILLION dollars per year worldwide. Baby boomers are retiring - for the next 20 years, every 8 seconds. Now back to what I do. I am in the business of travel, and how we get paid is through network marketing. I have my own TraVerus travel booking engine, we offer the same things as the highly advertised companies do, the only difference, is when my family friends, and myself, books travel on my site, I get paid. I then go out and SHARE my opportunity with others. There are over 5000 TraVerus travel agents, in 8 months, since we went into network marketing. And every single travel agent was referred by someone in the business. The business is simple. Why? Because EVERYBODY loves to travel. Everybody WANTS to travel. People want to GET AWAY FROM IT ALL. How? Traveling If MONEY WAS NOT AN ISSUE, most people said they would TRAVEL. Traveling is one of the greatest forms of RELAXATION. People like to HELP OTHERS. People love to save on income taxes (TAX ADVANTAGES) Everyone wants to SAVE MONEY. Do it PARTTIME, without interfering with what you already do.Let me give you a quick example how easy it is to network market. I went into the mall the day before. It was a music store. The lady working there was very nice. She asked if she could help me in any way. I told her that I was checking to see if I was missing out on music, since I'm not from here. We started trading opinions on the latest music, and I told her that in Germany, we are a little behind on the current stuff. She got excited and said she wanted to come out to Germany. We got to know each other, and I told her I was going back, that I was also here to do business and told her I was a travel agent. I briefly explained the perks we get as travel agents, and she gave me her info. So today, I will call, give her more info, and I may have another addition to my growing travel team. Was that hard? NO! I didn't give her a sales pitch. I built a rapport. Last example. Last week, I attended an event with a friend who is in the business of health and wellness. I went with her to help her out, because we had a table. We were able to display our products. The table next to us was a wedding consulting company. So I went over and asked exactly what she did, and we got to talking. I told her that I am in the business of TraVerus travel, and asked if I could give her my business card, because maybe I can help her clients with their travel needs. She gladly accepted. Later on that day, she came over and asked me about my business. I shared a little, and then told her that since they are her clients, it's possible that she can help them with travel and get paid and that I can help her. She gave me her info, and I'm meeting with her next week. She may also join my team. WAS THAT HARD? NO! I've built a rapport. So not to get too long-winded, network marketing is not a bad thing...we do it all day everyday. You can choose to capitalize on that. Lakeisha M.

I have to tell you what happened to me...it was wonderful....at the end.It was late Wednesday, and I had planned a trip to go to Savannah. I stay in Stockbridge, Georgia. I needed a rental car that could hold my two kids, and my suitcases.I waited until the LAST minute to book a rental car. So I ended up going online and I reserved my first rental through Rental Company #1 (I won't say names because it gets better).The next morning, I was scheduled to leave at 8am, and Rental Company #1 offered a pickup service. So I called them to schedule a pickup. I put all my stuff outside, fed the kids...we were on our way! Then the dreaded call.They told me I couldn't use them unless I was a resident of Georgia and had utility bills to show. I live in Germany, here in Georgia to visit. I told them I wasn't from here, and then they said well, I needed a major credit card. I couldn't use that because I didn't have it! I told them I had funds on my debit card. They refused to help unless I had a GA state license and utility bills. I let them know the day before that I was a travel professional, and asked if they offered discounts or upgrades. They did! BUT, I had to nix them.Moving on the Rental Company #2. They honored my travel agent credentials but didn't have a car available until after 3pm. I was impressed because my rate went from over $130 to $105 using my travel credentials...but unfortunately, it was going on 10am. I should have left 2 hours ago.Rental Car Company #3. I was impressed. They had cheap rental car rates, and the guy at the agency wasn't supposed to pick me up because I was out of the 'jurisdiction' if you will. But he felt sorry for me I think.When he picked us up, and we got to the agency, I used my travel agent credentials, and he gave me a military discount on top of that! (I'm married to my military husband huuaah). I even got some insurance for good measure, and my total went from over $130 to $89 bucks. I was ecstatic. I was excited. And the fact that they took me seriously when I told them I was a travel professional, it was a rush, no joke!Oh, and I forgot to mention, he upgraded me up one car category for FREE.I can't wait to go on another trip, which will be taking place in a week. This time I will take advantage of hotel rates. Ya'll, ya just don't know. Being a travel agent is BLISS. Discounts, and cheap rental car rates? Who can beat that?Lakeisha M FordBook TravelTraVerus Business Presentation(770) 884-7428cater2utravel@gmail.comI'd love your feedback. Tell me what you think!

You may not know this, but her "Skinny Science" research team have developed a natural sweetener with a 0 (zero) cephalic response. There is already talk that a major soft drink company will be launching a new soda made with this sweetener. She is also licensing Agel to use this sweetener in all of it's products. THIS IS HUGE!!!! Her fame, coupled with the fact that she is also licensing ONLY Agel to produce and distribute her patented cure for SICKLE CELL anemia is MAJOR!!!!" Quoted by Agel Team Member, Loui Anipen.

BREAKING NEWS
July 23, 2007
KATIE COURIC, CBS NEWS STORY
DIET SODAS ARE FATTENING
Tonight on CBS News, Katie Couric, broke the story that diet sodas are fattening and can increase risk of Metabolic Syndrome and heart disease. This was startling news to the public, and baffling to scientists.
Susan Feely, President of the American Beverage Association, stated "How can something with zero calories that's 99% water with a little flavoring in it . . cause weight gain?"
CBS quoted studies that show people who drink more than one soft drink a day had a 48 percent increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome.
DIET SODA CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN
New studies involving over 1,500 subjects have shown that people who drink diet soft drinks don't lose weight - in fact, they gain weight. Researchers stated "What was surprising was when we looked at people only drinking diet soft drinks, their risk of obesity was even higher." In fact, when the researchers took a closer look at their data, they found that nearly all the obesity risk from soft drinks came from diet sodas. There was a 41 percent increase in risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soft drink a person consumes each day. For diet soft-drink drinkers, the risk of becoming overweight or obese was:
For each can of diet soft drink consumed each day, a person's risk of obesity went up 41 percent. WHY?
Cephalic Response: Key Code to Obesity
The real issue for the soda researchers, which was addressed by Katie Couric on CBS news, was why diet sodas cause weight gain. It may be a mystery to most researchers, but the SKINNY SCIENCE research team already has the answer.
Clinical researchers at Glycemic Research Laboratories (GRL) know exactly why and how diet sodas cause weight gain. It's caused by the Cephalic Response, and the GRL SKINNY SCIENCE team has been studying the effects on humans for the past 20 years.
They, in fact, received the first patent awarded worldwide for this research.
With combined expertise of 90 years, the SKINNY SCIENCE team has delved into the biochemistry that causes the Cephalic Response, including the glycemic index and glycemic response of foods.
The CV's of the SKINNY SCIENCE researchers reads like a Who's Who, and actually includes a scientist that is listed in the Who's Who of American Inventors, the top genetic researcher in the world from NIH, and a renowned MD, PhD in Cardiovascular Pharmacology, who just won a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The SKINNY SCIENCE research team includes Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Dr. Clair Francomano, and Dr. Randall Maxey. They can be found at:
