The “WHY”

Why
Herbalife
Why
Now?
6 | herbalifetoday
“We’re at the intersection of health and wealth. We have solutions for the
worldwide obesity epidemic and the faltering world economy – improved
health through weight loss and improved finances through part-time or
full-time income.” Michael O. Johnson, Chairman and CEO

In these uncertain economic
times, there’s one constant –
Herbalife. With the cost of food
on the rise, a healthy meal
shake for under $2 is appealing
from an economic standpoint.
With so many people looking
for a new business opportunity,
this is a great time to recruit people with leadership
potential to your organization.
The January “Why Herbalife, Why Now?” Tour with
our Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson, drew
over 12,000 people from across the country. As
Michael says, “Herbalife offers people the
opportunity to lose weight, get healthier and
put money in their pocket.”
THE APPEAL OF PART-TIME
In an economic slowdown, there’s a lot
of interest in Herbalife as a part-time
opportunity. “People are looking for a
way to make up for the shortfall in
their earnings,” says President’s
Team member Dennis Dowdell.
“The fact that this could even turn
into a full-time opportunity is a
huge plus,” he adds, “especially
since formerly stable companies
are letting people go and
people are realizing that their
employment isn’t as secure as
it once was. For a part-timer,
it’s a way to become less
dependent on a single source
of income, which helps a person feel good about
taking charge of their future.”
THE RIGHT MESSAGE, THE RIGHT TIME
When people are at a crossroads in their life, they’re
more receptive to trying something new. In fact,
Dennis got his start with Herbalife during a
recession. “I was looking for an opportunity,” he
says, “so I went to a meeting and heard Mark
Hughes talk about making a difference in people’s
lives. That’s when I knew this business was different
and that I wanted to be a part of it. This is the fourth
recession I’ve seen, and business is great,” he says.
LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL
Dennis sees times like these as an opportunity to
recruit people who can fast-track in your
organization. He explains that the process of
developing leaders is generally twofold:
● Developing leadership qualities
● Educating new Distributors about Herbalife
“But now we’re recruiting from a quality pool of
people,” explains Dennis. “These are people
accustomed to taking charge and responsibility –
they’ve already developed leadership qualities – so
you’ve taken a shortcut to developing leaders in
your organization. All you need to do is educate
them about Herbalife. It makes mentoring that
much easier – a turnkey system.”
“Here’s what I’ll tell a new prospect,” says Dennis.
“We have proven products. We have a proven plan.
I’m just looking for proven people. Are you one?”

WHY HERBALIFE?
FIVE REASONS WHY!
● Science-based products
● Industry-leading compensation plan
● Powerful tools and training
● Start part-time to earn extra cash
● Anyone can do it!

The “HOW”
Ramp Up Your Recruiting
Two approaches for achieving your recruiting goals
STEVE & DEBBIE COMBS, PRESIDENT’S TEAM
“Find out a person’s ‘why,’ and tap into it. That’s what
will speak to them 100 percent of the time.”
GET-TOGETHERS
• Host a Business Grand Opening.
• Make a list of your Circle of Influence.
• Invite everyone – don’t prejudge.
• Host Business Grand Openings continually as you
expand your Circle of Influence.
TIPS
• Show the Design Your Life DVD – the testimonials
speak to people.
• Share your story, and talk about the rewards of helping others.
• Make a mental note about each person’s life concerns
for follow-up.
• Sample the products at informal social gatherings, like
barbecues and holiday parties.
• After talking about the products or opportunity, ask your
prospects, "Who wants to get started?"
• Tell your story everywhere!
• Smaller group conference calls are a great way to
communicate and build relationships with your team.
FOLLOW-UP
• Within 48 hours, call everyone who didn’t commit.
• Connect with their personal “why” – what they would
like to change in their life (e.g., commute, time with
children, health, hours, income potential, etc.).
• Express your belief in that person’s ability to be successful.
• Recruit from your customers – once a person experiences
a result, they will feel passionate about sharing the
products with others.
• After a Business Grand Opening, call those who were
interested but didn’t purchase for following-day orders.
• By following up, you’re demonstrating that you care about
the people who attended your Grand Opening.
BY THE NUMBERS
• 40: Give 40 presentations a month (1 to 3 a day).
• 10: Sponsor 10 Distributors a month.
• 2: Work toward at least 2 becoming Supervisors.
8 | herbalifetoday
JASON CAESAR, MILLIONAIRE TEAM
“Every customer is potentially a Distributor, once
you do a proper follow-up.”
• Host an Herbalife Opportunity Meeting (HOM) – you
can do this at your home or another location.
• Create a professional atmosphere.
• Small groups work well so that you can really talk to people (for
example, about what motivated them to respond to your ad).
• Talk to your prospects ahead of time to determine
how serious they are.
• Ask if they’d like to reserve a seat beforehand.
• At the HOM, sample products – once your prospects realize
how great the products taste, they’ll be more interested.
• Give them an information packet with an Earn
What You’re Worth or Design Your Life DVD,
written material, pencil and a folder.
• Have International Business Packs (IBPs) available
to sell on the spot.
• Ask for referrals by offering an incentive – a shaker
cup or a free product sample.
• At the end of the HOM presentation, give each
prospect a form to complete that asks if they are
interested in more information about:
• The products
• Earning extra income
• A full-time opportunity
• None of the above
• Use the form to follow up with prospects and
focus on their interest.
• Use the power of referrals – when you share with someone
how much you earned from that person’s referral, it
demonstrates how simple it is to earn extra cash.
• Host HOMs three times a week.
• At your HOMs or Nutrition Club meetings, make a
commitment not to leave the room until you get five referrals.
CHECKLIST
❑ Did you share your product and business testimonials?
❑ Did you sample products?
❑ Did you ask who wants to get started?
❑ Do you have IBPs available?
❑ Did you follow up by personalizing to each person’s “why”?
❑ Did you present the opportunity to 40 people this month?
❑ Did you ask for referrals?

From Active World Team

...to Atlantis!
Now is a great time to
qualify for Active
World Team (AWT) –
and the US$500 Bonus for first-
time qualifiers. The qualification to AWT gets you
squarely on track for the one-of-a-kind, luxurious getaway
of a lifetime, the 30th Anniversary Vacation to Atlantis
Resort*, Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
Just ask Global Expansion Team member Danielle Edwards
who recently qualified for both AWT and the 30th
Anniversary Vacation. “My husband Graeme and I retailed
the products and recruited our team through our Nutrition
Club and Weight Loss Challenges,” she enthuses.
“We started a home Nutrition Club in May of 2007. Graeme
and I both worked the Club full-time, while I also held down
a part-time job,” she explains. Then, in September, the
couple opened up a Nutrition Club in a commercial location.
“Our business has been out of control with volume over the
last six months,” she says happily.
Since June 2008, the couple has been doing the business
full-time as their only source of income. “It’s been an
amazing journey so far – and it’s just the beginning,” she
continues. “Every day we work with a sense of urgency. We
make retention easy through our Nutrition Clubs; we hold
trainings and meetings, and provide a comfortable place for
our members to come.”
To stay motivated, Danielle and Graeme always keep in
mind specific goals they want to achieve. Qualifying pushes
them to be better, while personal development has helped
immensely with their motivation to grow. “Most of all, the
people we see every day in our Nutrition Club and Weight
Loss Challenges inspire us to work harder and spread the
word about Herbalife. Everybody needs these products –
they change peoples lives.Ӡ

JULY “My Monday was different this week because I attended an event last week.

2009 Because of it, I’ve recruited new Distributors and I have new customers.”

“I picked up a conversation opener used by our trainer that I’ve not only
used successfully, but that I’m telling my downline to use. It works! Those
are the kinds of tips that can change the momentum of your business.”

“Personal development is so important because you’ve got to constantly

work on yourself. At these events, I learn from people what ideas and
concepts are having a positive effect on their business.”

“It’s crucial to qualify – and qualify for everything. As a VIP qualifier,

I’ve experienced it firsthand. The parties give you an opportunity
to talk one-on-one to high-level Distributors who are so generous
about sharing their ideas. They want to help you.”

“After attending a leadership training, I speak differently to my downline.

I can better coach them past obstacles and speak with renewed
confidence about concepts that will help them break through barriers.”

Heart
to Heart
WITH DR. LOU IGNARRO
The Link Between Obesity and Cardiovascular Health
Among the many reasons to maintain
a healthy weight, the best may be to
promote your heart health.
The medical community has long observed an
increased risk of developing heart problems in
overweight patients. A recent study shows that
obesity itself, and not just the associated health
conditions, can lead to significant strain on the
heart. The study also demonstrates that excess
body weight – even in people who are not
considered obese – substantially increases the
risk of heart problems.
The investigators followed 5,881 obese or merely
overweight individuals enrolled in the Framingham
Heart Study† for an average of 14 years. They
found that those who were merely overweight
had a 34 percent greater risk of developing heart
problems than non-overweight individuals. The
increased risk for those who were obese was
104 percent.
Even if you are otherwise healthy, being obese or
merely overweight increases the risk of placing
your heart under significant strain.
Why does obesity lead to heart concerns?
We know that obesity causes stress and thickening
of the heart muscle, specifically in the left ventricle,
the large chamber of the heart that pumps blood to
the body. The thickening of the left ventricle muscle
can eventually lead to heart problems.

It is important to consider solutions that
will protect your cardiovascular system:
• Maintain a healthy body weight and reduce your
body fat by eating a diet low in fat, rich in fiber and
full of fresh foods. Take Formula 1 shakes and
the other great Herbalife® weight-management
products as a part of your daily regimen.
• Strengthen your heart with moderate daily
exercise.
• Support your overall cardiovascular health by
maintaining healthy levels of Nitric Oxide (NO). Dr. Lou Ignarro, author of NO

 Approach
Coaching. It’s a simple and proven way to build relationships,
increase product sales, and retain long-term customers.
President’s Team members Meg and Paul Lile have been
Herbalife Distributors for 18 years and have always believed in
the concept of coaching. “As we moved up the Marketing
Plan, we realized how important coaching is,” says Meg. “It’s
where you’re going to make or break your business.”
Meg continues, “Coaches are leaders. And when you help
people develop the skills that are necessary to become
leaders too, that’s where the business really starts to grow.”
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
“Coaching comes down to relationship building,” says Meg.
“We’re there to cheer for their success and support them if
they have a problem. Sometimes all it takes is saying, ‘If you
just stick with it, you’re going to see results.’”
Meg also makes sure to follow up with her customers. “If you
do a good follow-up, you’ve established trust and credibility
as a coach,” she says. “This is so important for maintaining
relationships and creating long-term customers.”
GOAL SETTING
One technique Meg uses in coaching is to help customers
set clearly defined goals. “Setting goals is so important
because it helps people have a road map to where they want
to go,” explains Meg. “I help them determine how much
weight they want to lose and set a course to get them there.”
14 | herbalifetoday
Meg knows that accountability is also a key in helping
people reach their goals. “I do lots of one-on-ones and
have an accountability board,” she says. “When they know
they have to report their product results to me, they’re
immediately held accountable.” Meg adds, “People always
seem to work harder when they have to be accountable to
someone else.”
SEEING RESULTS
President’s Team member Mette Hyldgaard has seen her
coaching skills rise to another level through Weight Loss
Challenges. “I used to just recommend products to people,”
explains Mette. “Now as a Weight Loss Challenge coach, I’m
even more focused and committed because I’m directly
involved in their performance and results. I’m 1,000 percent
committed to coaching people and helping them achieve their
goals. I feel like a sports coach!”
Mette has also seen an increase in her retailing. “I’ve used a
lot of retailing methods, but coaching is better than anything
I’ve ever tried,” she says. “Good coaching is supporting – and
challenging – others to do better.”
But it’s her customers’ success that has Mette the most
excited. “My customers have received extraordinary results
like I’ve never seen before,” she says. “It’s unbelievably
satisfying to go to bed at night knowing you’ve helped
someone achieve their goals and change their life.”

Success, Family Style

Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) launched its first Casa Herbalife program in
2005, bringing good nutrition to children around the world. HFF has provided
funding for over 40 Casa Herbalife programs, affecting the lives of over
10,000 children. Here are the heartwarming stories of two of these children.

R U D Y , of Casa Betania in Bolivia

J E N N Y , of Hong Hua Orphanage in Taiwan

Jenny’s young mother was a victim of physical abuse
and homelessness who, out of desperation, turned to
prostitution to try to support her two young children.
But in order to provide JENNY and her brother with a
better upbringing, their mother entrusted their care to
the staff of the Hong Hua Orphanage in Taiwan, home
to a Casa Herbalife program since 2008. As a staff
member of Hong Hua recalls, “When Jenny was
brought here, she was withdrawn, quiet and clearly
terrified. Today, Jenny is a pretty, happy girl with a
beautiful smile and winning personality.”
The Casa Herbalife program in Taiwan provides
support to the Hong Hua Orphanage to purchase
food, kitchen supplies and to provide three nutritious
meals a day. In Taiwan, both Herbalife Independent
Distributors and staff strengthen their relationship by
regularly spending time with the children. Jenny
shares, “Thanks to Herbalife uncles and aunties, we
got a chance to join T-ball Summer Camp. It was a
blast! It was the first time I played T-ball, and I hit the
ball! I hope we can play T-ball with our Herbalife uncles
and aunties again soon!” Instead of having a life of pain
and struggle, Jenny is learning, playing and eating
nutritious meals, and has a promising future.
R U D Y was living with his mother and three siblings in
Bolivia. They shared a one-room shack with brick walls,
an aluminum roof and no insulation. As a single parent,
Rudy’s mother worked sporadically, doing laundry or
cleaning houses in towns near La Paz; however, she
was having difficulty providing the basic necessities for
her children. Five years ago, when Rudy was 8 years
old, he became a member of Casa Betania, the site of
HFF’s 33rd Casa Herbalife program. This amazing
organization provides health care and nutritious meals
for hundreds of children every day in one of the poorest
neighborhoods in La Paz. Here, Rudy was able to eat
nutritious meals, receive medical attention and get
educational support. Now 13, Rudy has a great
personality and a positive attitude toward school and life.
“When I am learning, I have the hope to follow my goals.”
While other nonprofit organizations are cutting back,
Herbalife Family Foundation is in the unique position of
being able to continue and expand its support to Casa
Herbalife programs, extending a helping hand to
children in need. To learn more about HFF or how to get
