Shaklee Creating Healthier Lives

You've used Shaklee products. You've experienced wonderful results. You're passionate about the products. And now you want to grow your Shaklee business. So, where do you start? And more importantly, what should you do? Well, what I'm going to share with you are some marketing secrets that will show you how to grow your Shaklee business the easy way.

Shaklee Marketing Secrets #1: Know the benefits of your products. You need to understand the benefits of using environment-friendly products. And how it will help households. Many people are unaware of the chemicals they use in their homes. You can help these people understand this concept. They will see that they're potentially hurting their pets, children, and themselves.

A good way to understand how Shaklee products will help people is by looking at how it's helped you in your life. Or maybe you're upline, downline, or maybe someone you know. This will allow you to understand who will purchase the products from you and who will join you in growing a business.

Shaklee Marketing Secrets #2: Know your target market (people who have a need or want for what you have to offer). Your target market could be families who have small children, pets, or people who want to join in making our environment safe.

There are hundreds and thousands of people who could benefit from using Shaklee products. The products are great. There's no doubt about that. But not everyone will want to use the products. Some people may criticize. Others may be rude. It's ok. Don't worry about it. Just find people who will want your help.

Or better yet, how about having them find you. By doing this, you'll be able to attract some "heavy hitters" into your Shaklee business. This will have you adding people into your business on a daily basis.

A good way of doing this is by generating your own leads. You're trying to do this already by passing out business card and brochures, talking to friends and family, and even sharing some products with people. Instead of wasting your effort and energy with people who won't join you in your Shaklee business, generate your own leads that will be willing to build a business with you.

Shaklee Marketing Secret #3: After you've understood the benefits of using Shaklee products and you've been able to find and attract people to your business, you need to automate this process. This will allow you to show your downline how to get off on the right foot. You will grow your Shaklee business fast. And it'll be a blast.

You'll have people thanking you for taking the time out to help them. And this will give you a deep sense of gratitude. You'll have people excited that they've joined you in your business.

Use these marketing secrets to grow your Shaklee business the easy way. These secrets will not only help you grow your business, but help you attract the right people to you.

Shaklee Corporation is a privately-held maker and distributor of environmentally-friendly cleaning products, nutritional supplements, skin care products and filtration products. The company is based in Pleasanton, California with operations in Canada, China, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico and Taiwan. The company sells its products through a multi-level marketing network and claims a combined base of 750,000 "members" (customers) and distributors.

Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, a San Francisco chiropractor, first began selling "Shaklee's Vitalized Minerals" in 1915. In 1956, Dr. Shaklee founded the Shaklee Corporation with his two sons to manufacture nutritional supplements. Starting in the 1960s, Shaklee began marketing organic, biodegradeable cleaning products and has continually emphasized "natural" and environmentally-friendly products in its marketing messages.

The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the late 1970s. In 1989, it was acquired by the Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Company of Japan. Yamanouchi was already partnering with Shaklee in Japan and acted as a "white knight" in helping the company fend off a hostile takeover bid by investor Irwin L. Jacobs. In 2004, Yamanouchi sold the company to private investors in the U.S. for $310 million.
