Next post here will be on Saturday, November 15. I am at the eLearning Guild "eLearning Producer" conference in San Francisco for the rest of the week. I may be weblogging the experience at http://egconf2003.blogspot.com, time and technology permitting. Radio only runs on my desktop, I refuse to buy a laptop just to look cool on my one or two trips each year, so I will check in either via my Psion 5MX or from the nearest Internet cafe. 2:24:13 PM

IT salaries continue to drop. Could this be the year to start your own business? Network marketing is booming! Study: Salary gloom ahead for IT workers. Starting wages for techies will fall next year, and pay for jobs that boomed in the '90s will keep on dropping, says a recent study. But there's a bright spot for some in-demand pros.

Free Samples of Dividends Shave Cream! We have created a package to help you introduce your friends to two great new shaving products for men: Dividends Shave Cream and Dividends Aftershave Balm. When you purchase these two great products you will receive a FREE 5 pack of Dividends Shave Cream Samples that you can use to pass along to friends. With Dividends Shave Cream you cleanse, exfoliate and condition all in one step. This concentrated lather gently removes dirt and oil and optimizes razor glide for a clean, smooth shave that protects your skin from dryness, chaffing, minor nicks, and irritation. Dividends Aftershave Balm extends the results of your morning shave. This lightweight balm makes facial hair softer, finer and less noticeable (best results seen after 4 weeks) so you can skip a shave-without people noticing. It also provides traditional benefits: prevents razor bumps, and cools and soothes the skin. This promotional package is available now, and the order number is 01101913. As you've probably already discovered yourself, your friends will find that they can maximize the return on their time invested getting ready for the day. These shaving products will provide extra skin care benefits without adding extra hassle. Same Routine. More Benefits.

NuSkin/Pharmanex/Big Planet Compensation Plan Enhanced Again! [Great news from Canada HQ!  Prior to this, the Bonus Pool programs were only available in the USA.  Now, finally, our fellow North Americans can participate in these huge income boosters.  US Reps will be affected because the Bonus Pool is now 1.5% of Canadian & US volume, not just US volume (and also applies to the QExec Bonus Pool).  It will be a good review for everyone to read the Bonus Pool rules below. Thanks to Marie for forwarding!  Red highlights are mine.  - JC] -----Original Message----- From: Marie Dawn Bennett Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 3:10 PM To: John Cini Subject: Canadian Comp Plan enhancements! Dear Canadian Distributor, We are pleased to announce that effective October 1st, 2003, we'll be making some exciting changes to our compensation plan to reward new growth. Vibrant business and sales growth is important to you, so we'll be making these changes to enhance your potential earnings. Most importantly, we'll be reallocating the L2 bonus, at the Executive and above level, as well as some new compensation dollars to two new growth-focused bonuses:  The North American Qualifying Executive Bonus Pool and The North American Executive Performance Bonus Pool, as well as extending the Leadership Advancement Bonus. Executive Performance Bonus Pool The Executive Performance Bonus Pool gives Executives an opportunity to earn a portion of 1.5% of Canadian and U.S. commissioned sales volume on a monthly basis as determined by a performance based, weighted formula as set forth by the company. To qualify, an Executive must meet the following performance and sales criteria in effect at the end of each commission period.  • An Executive must have 400 PSV (or 100 PSV and at least 500 QSV in the U.S.)  [US Reps:  it’s 500 PV for us, not 400!  QSV definition is below.  - JC] • Each Canadian or U.S. qualified LOI must achieve a minimum of 1,000 GSV; independent of any other GSV from other downline qualified LOIs. This means that a qualifying LOI may not count the GSV from other qualifying LOIs in the same downline. • Each Canadian or U.S. Qualifying Executive in the Executive's Circle Group must achieve their minimum PSV and GSV requirements. •The Executive Performance Bonus Pool minimum requirement is 6 points. •All other requirements of the Sales Compensation Plan, including retail sales, must be met. •The following chart shows how an Executive may earn points for each new Canadian or U.S. Qualified LOI, Q1 and Q2 Qualifying Executive and every 20 new personally sponsored LifePak® ADP subscriber (Distributors and customers).

In order to qualify, a Qualifying Executive must meet the sales criteria in effect at the end of each commission period. • Each Qualifying Executive must be 'Active' in their respective country. (Canada or U.S.) • Each Qualifying Executive must achieve a minimum of 5,000 GSV, independent of any other GSV from other downline Qualifying Executives in Month 1 (Q1) or Month 2 (Q2). • All other requirements of the Sales Compensation Plan, including retail sales, must be met. • The maximum points allowed in the Qualifying Executive Bonus Pool are five (5) points. • The following chart shows how the points are allocated for the Qualifying Executive Bonus Pool. Qualified Month 1(Q1) or Month 2 (Q2)* 100 PSV 5,000 - 6,999 GSV -    1 Point 100 PSV 7,000 - 8,999 GSV -    2 Points 100 PSV 9,000 - 10,999 GSV -  3 Points 100 PSV 11,000 -14,999 GSV - 4 Points 100 PSV 15,000 GSV +    -       5 Points [5 points:  this is a new point level!  (Previously it was max 4 pts.)] *Grace months are allowed during Executive qualification; however, no points will be allocated towards the Qualifying Executive Bonus Pool during the grace month. All of these bonuses can potentially provide extremely rewarding ways for you to benefit financially as you grow and support your sales organization.

Announcement. This Weblog is being reorganized. If you are interested in building your own business and operating it from home, this is where you can get tips, best practices, and news you can use. I promise not to waste your time. Subscribers will not be bombarded with ten daily posts (unless there are ten things worth your attention to report). The categories are also being reorganized, to allow for subscription to only those sections of interest to you. Comments and Trackback have been disabled, since the spammers have already moved from clogging e-mail with millions of net jamming junk messages to inserting their ugly effluvia into weblog comments and using Trackback to link the unsuspecting to porn sites and shady solicitations. Email sent to me via the Userland service from this weblog goes to a "throwaway" address, so be patient -- I do still check that address for legitimate communications. Let's get rich together. 9:37:24 AM
