XanGo is Making a Difference for Children all around the World!


Is there any wonder why XanGo has broken 
every record in the industry and continues 
to be so successful.

At the Top Leaders Dinner on Friday night, our President, Craig Hale highlighted the charity accomplishments of XanGo....think about it.  Not only are we the role model of all other companies, but NO ONE can top our passion for MAKING A DIFFERENCE....
just read below and let me know your thoughts...



Making a Difference

Africa
In Africa, XanGo completed the fourth year of its title sponsorship of a project in Ghana through a partnership with the University of Utah. This sustainable program has addressed the pressing needs of a region in Ghana by partnering with local leaders to address nutrition, clean water, and education, prevention and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases. We have also helped build a school and a soccer field. This program has become a model for sustainable change projects in third world countries.

India
XanGo has partnered with a charity known as Vitamin Angels and has become the title sponsor of the organizations Vitamin A program in India. By providing essential Vitamin A to, XanGo and Vitamin Angels have helped prevent blindness in nearly 2 million Indian children since 2007.

Mexico
In our No. 2 market, XanGo was the title sponsor of two Operation Smile Missions - one in June, and one in October. During these two missions, some 80 distributor volunteered to help staff the mission. Through these efforts and our funding, we helped some 200 children receive life-altering cleft lip or cleft palate surgery, changing their lives forever.  (Avg. cost $25,000.00 = $5,000,000).

Canada
North of the border, XanGo partnered with The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, a charity dedicated to fulfilling a favorite wish for children diagnosed with high-risk, life-threatening illnesses. Through its national sponsorship, XanGo helped raise nearly $1.5 million to fulfill dozen of children's wishes. Hundreds of Canadian distributors had the opportunity to support this initiative in their own community by serving as volunteers and providing XanGo Juice during more than 100 XanGo Wishmaker Parades which took place across Canada in mid-October.

Japan
During the past three years, XanGo has provided significant funding to the Yokohama Family House, an organization that provides housing and support to the families of chronically ill children. With XanGo's help, which included both support of fundraising efforts and direct contributions, the Yokohama Family House opened its beautiful state-of-the-art facility last May.

Phillipines
In 2008, XanGo announced a sponsorship of the Tuloy Foundation, a charity that provides housing and education to orphaned and abandoned street children as well as classes to out-of-school boys and girls from indigent communities or other street children centers. Serving a much-needed role in The Philippines by integrating neglected and abandoned children back into society, the Tuloy Foundation is continually expanding its outreach.

A Few More Reasons to Be Proud of 
XanGo's Accomplishments

-       XanGo provided a level of funding to the Children's Organ Transplant Association that enabled approximately 20 children to receive life-saving transplant surgeries.  Avg cost ($300,000.00 = $6,000,000).
-       We also joined with New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees to send the message that we had not forgotten the victims of the 2005 hurricane, helping to rebuild recreational and educational facilities for children in New Orleans during the past two years. Phase I of that project was completed late last year.
-       At home, XanGo also provided funding and employee manpower to build a safe playground in one of South Salt Lake's neediest neighborhoods. The pavilion in the park will be named the XanGo Pavilion.
 

This is just one of the MANY reasons to be proud of being a XanGo distributor. Xango's charitable giving is second to none! Just think of all the amazing things that together, XanGo and XanGo's distributors can and will accomplish over the years to come!

Thanks for all of your hard work!

It's Your Business, But You Can't Do It Alone


Hi Everybody,

We had a fabulous Xango training on Saturday with Pat Petrini in Phoenix. For those who were there: we hope you could take a lot of new ideas home, especially on how to create systems to structure and grow your business.


Education is Key


We encourage you to go to as many trainings (incl. webinars, conference calls) as you can. Please understand that we are really lucky to have such an active upline! They give all the support we need from a modern Network Marketing business perspective. Remember, this is not Corporate World where you are not allowed to talk to people high up or where colleagues try to bully you out. We are there for each other.

For those who missed the Saturday meeting, please find a summary about the most important points Pat Petrini made below:


A. Our business is a team business.

Please take advantage of your sponsor and upline, get to know them and do as many three way calls as possible with new prospects. Do not go and try to do the business "your way" without any help. Too many do and struggle for a very long time dabbling frustrated around 1K and fail. You are the messenger, not the message! Open up the communication and let your upline start doing some work for you. After introducing your coach to your new prospect, sit back, listen and learn in order to get more confident about product, business and how to do three ways. This also takes the pressure off newbies to succeed immediately. The beauty of this business is that you needn't know much in the beginning.


B. Start calling and talking to people

Stop wasting your time with too much learning and analyzing products, downline, prospects. You have to make at least 20 phone calls a day to get your downline going / or find new people. And remember: Xango is not about selling a juice. It is about helping other people with their health and - if they are willing - their business. Find people's needs, listen, ask questions and help to solve their problem. Again, we are not in the Old Network Marketing World and not in Corporate World: we are here to help people not push them.


C. Drop Outs

Yes this does exist more than anyone wants to admit or speak about. But that's part of life. If you have people in your downline, who stopped drinking Xango, you should call them and find out why. Look at it as a customer service move. You are curious why or what happened. Ask them 5 questions to find out, if they really do not want Xango anymore or if they just did not have enough information from their sponsor about the product or the business and got lazy drinking Xango (75% give that as a reason!).

Do not pressure anybody: you only want to find out why they stopped drinking and you want to offer them help and answer questions, if they wish. It helps you to build relationships, trust, understand your downline and create momentum at the same time.

Here are the questions:

1. Why did you join Xango?
2. Why did you stop the ADP?
3. How long have you been drinking Xango?
4. How much did you drink?
5. Have you listened to CDs about the product/biz? Did you read any flyers or other print material? Did you go to an event?

Pat's experience is that only 25% of the people who stopped drinking Xango were properly introduced to Xango. The rest did not know how much they should drink, what the Mangosteen can do for them or how the business works.


D. Call everybody who is new in your downline. 

Here is the phone script:
"Hi xx. My name is xx. I am a friend/colleague of xxx and I would like to welcome you in our team. People join Xango for many different reasons: some want Xango for free, some want to build a business and some need to prevent or help with a health issue. I wanted to connect with you today to find out how I can help you. What questions do you have and what can I do for you today? ...."

Please do not hesitate to call people even deep down your downline without permission from the personal sponsor. Everybody belongs to your team and will be happy to get support in any way!

E. Write an welcome e-mail to everybody new in your team!

You will find all sorts of scripts and materials Pat Petrini uses at 'www.mangosteenarizona.com'. Also check out his 36 YouTube Videos, which are great training tools!


A quick word on Glimpse

Please remember: Our goal is NOT to retail Glimpse (or Xango for that matter). Our goal is to have people sign up with the Xango company. Our upline has all sign-up forms at www.mangosteenarizona.com. Please check this resource daily, since there are new docs and forms coming in every day now.

We all recommend to start doing Glimpse home parties for now, but try to get people signed up with Xango and do not put too much emphasis on selling retail: Xango is not only about Glimpse, it is about the Mangosteen, which helps inside out with Xango and Glimpse and 3sixty5. Educate people by showing the Glimpse DVD and offer as many Q&A sessions as possible.

One last word from us: If you want to make it to 5K, 20 K or Premier in a reasonable amount of time - training is not an option, it is a must. Too many of us are dripping around in the 1K area for 1 or even 2 years and wonder why they are frustrated and not growing the way they should. Remember: be coachable and curious, but do NOT forget to put everything you have learned into action. Step out of your comfort zone and treat this as a business, not as a hobby.


Have a wonderful & productive week,

Ken & Christine Breeze

XanGo Helps Kids in Mexico


Press Release - September 22, 2008

From September 25 to October 3 in the city of Guadalajara, Operation Smile, a worldwide children's medical charity, will bring together more than 40 medical and non-medical volunteers to provide life-altering care for hundreds of children in Mexico. The mission will provide surgeries for those who suffer from cleft lips and/or cleft palates. Also participating on the medical mission is Satcha Pretto, co-host of the highly-rated Univision daily newsmagazine television show Primer Impacto-Fin de Semana (First Impact - Weekend Edition). Satcha, who will be on-site from September 25-30, will cover the mission for a news series to air on Primer Impacto-Fin de Semana in late October. In March 2008, Satcha was named as a Smile Ambassador for Operation Smile.

Led by Operation Smile Mexico, A.C., the mission will mobilize volunteers from Canada, Italy, Jordan, Mexico and the United States, who will provide complete physical examinations and reconstructive surgeries for those born with facial deformities. The mission will take place at Instituto de Cirugía Reconstructiva de Jalisco in Guadalajara.

Operation Smile Mexico, A.C., works with a local network of medical and non-medical volunteers to provide integral medical services that include evaluations, reconstructive surgeries, speechtherapy and nutritional plans, among others. These volunteers work together to restore smiles and change the lives of children, young adults and families who face the challenges associated with a cleft lip and/or cleft palate. XanGo, LLC is the title sponsor for this mission; other regional sponsors include José Cuervo, Banorte, American Express, Keery de México S.A. de C.V., Colgate Palmolive, Monte Alban Art Gallery Foundation, American School Foundation, Hotel Presidente Intercontinental and Saatchi & Saatchi Mexico.

"As a global company committed to supporting the needs of children around the world, XanGo is honored to support Operation Smile Mexico, A.C, in its critical mission to better the lives of hundreds of children and families in Mexico," said Joe Morton, founder and board member for XanGo, LLC, category creator as the first company to bring a mangosteen beverage to a global market. "The work of Operation Smile and its volunteers will change lives and open up new avenues of opportunity that otherwise would not have been possible for the mission's recipients."

XanGo is promoting and actively supporting this medical mission to help bring attention to children and young adults with facial deformities. Through its global philanthropic movement, XanGo Goodness, the company has established a corporate alliance with Operation Smile Mexico, A.C. to extend this assistance to individuals and families in Mexico who are most in need. XanGo sponsored the Operation Smile medical mission to Mexico in May 2008, as well as this September mission. Together, the two missions embody the XanGo Goodness vision of mobilizing the company's global resources, employees and distributors to make a difference and improve living for those who are less fortunate.

"The support private companies provide, whether donating time or money, is fundamental for Operation Smile to be able to assist children and young adults around the world. Close to 100 children will be helped during this medical mission in Guadalajara. In as little as 45 minutes a cleft lip surgery can change the life of a child forever; however, there are many people who need this surgery who do not have the necessary resources," said Laura Trigo, executive director of Operation Smile Mexico.

The first Operation Smile medical mission in Mexico took place in 2005 and since then the organization's medical volunteers have provided free physical examinations to more than 550 children with facial deformities and nearly 400 children have received free reconstructive surgery during medical missions. Operation Smile Mexico, A.C. recognizes and is grateful for the collaboration with the "Instituto de Cirugía Reconstructiva de Jalisco," the generous sponsor and center of all the medical missions and educational programs of the organization in Mexico. The most recent medical mission in Mexico took place in Guadalajara from May 29 to June 4, 2008. Nearly 40 medical and non-medical volunteer team members from Canada, Mexico, and the United States worked at the Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery of Jalisco to provide 133 free physical examinations and 90 reconstructive surgeries to children with facial deformities.

Flavor of the Month


People, you have to stop thinking you can get rich in just a few months. Network marketing has the word "work" inside of it... like everything else in life and everything worth while, it takes commitment, dedication, passion, relationship building, patience and time. Too often do we see newly enrolled prospects get all hyped up in the first few weeks only to crash after 1-2 months of exhausting excitement and effort, followed by disappointments and failures. Fear of rejection and little knowledge of the nature of this business and product (especially with sales people or self claimed professionals that think they "know it all") add to a high pitch fast crash with little motivation and desire left to continue. The best part is, right afterwards they blame it on network marketing instead of looking to improve themselves.

One must learn to understand the psychology of people, oneself and then be able to handle it too. That is not everyone's cup of tea. Highly paid "professionals" (there won't be many left for long, just read the papers), that are used to a 5 digit monthly check have grown comfortable to being the center of attention and find themselves rejected by most of their "friends", colleagues and everyone else in their warm market, they thought they could "convince" (this is not sales) to join their new business over night.

The process is simple. Not easy. Not easy because most of us (97%) are not used to communicating this way. We are used to doing everything to be in the center of attention. We try hard to get our thoughts and needs across to others, but we do nothing or very little to show the patience to listen what others have on their minds.

In closing I will share with you today a simple process I have learned from one of my mentors, Tim Sales (www.TimSales.com). His teachings are phenomenal. Get his CDs today.
Greet your prospect or future potential business partner. Qualify them by listening to their needs and asking questions. Finally, invite them to look or listen to a "tool". Do not try to do the presenting yourself. Be the messenger, not the message. There are many different tools to do that for you. This is what we call leveraging. Leverage your time and money through tools. These can be websites, CDs, flyers and much more. Many of which are very cheap or even for free. Feel free to send me an email with any of your questions.
