Pure Barley Launching in Davao City, May 28, 2010.

Dr, Yoshihide Hagiwara and Barley Pure; Greatly Helps Cancer and Other Degenerative Diseases.

Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara

You may have heard of Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, the man behind Barley Pure. Dr. Hagiwara is a very prominent doctor, researcher, inventor and scientist in Japan. His nutritional and pharmacological research, ideas and creations have brought Dr. Hagiwara numerous awards, and honors, and his concern about ways to improve the health and well-being of his people has crossed international borders.

Dr. Hagiwara has developed a number of synthetic drugs, including an anti-fungal agent and other compounds which are currently in use and were patented under his name. He relates that about 15 years into his research, he became increasingly aware that most of the synthetic drugs that he developed were primarily for acute conditions, and while they were very effective in alleviating these acute conditions, they did not help to prevent the problems from developing in the first place. He also observed that when treating a patient with a typical synthetic drug that the condition would usually be improved, but often undesirable side effects would crop up. A good example is the steroid drugs which are used for everything from bee stings to arthritis. You can't stay on steroid drugs forever because they create their own problems and major problems to be sure.

So Dr. Hagiwara decided there has to be a better way. There just HAS to be a better way. And there was....a natural preventive approach which led to more than 13 years of intensive research on over 150 different plants, grains, and grasses. Dr. Hagiwara discovered that barley was not only an excellent source, but one of the richest sources, of the entire broad spectrum of nutrients required by man for growth, repair, and well-being. Barley has been cultivated in China for hundreds of years, and was used in Ancient Greece, Rome, and by the Lake Dwellers of Ancient Switzerland. Despite its medicinal and nutritional qualities, however, barley has been used primarily in this country for the brewing of beer. Fermenting barley results in malt, this in turn is used in brewing.

Dr. Hagiwara's research and efforts to find a natural, organic, nutritional source that would have enzymatic action to counteract aging and disease was recognized by the International Foundation for Preventive Medicine at its second annual Conference on Reversing the Aging Process in November, 1981, in New York. (Let's Live, March, 1982)

Anti-Aging Enzyme

Almost 500 years ago, the Fountain of Youth symbolized the answer to aging --- the secret elixir of good health. Ponce de Leon unfortunately grew old and died while searching for it. Scientists still haven't found a cure for aging. There is no way to prevent aging from taking place. But, scientists believe they have found a key -- genes that produce an enzyme called Superoxide Dismutase or S.O.D.

It appears S.O.D. is a super scavenger enzyme that ferrets out and destroys the damaging free radicals, chemical byproducts of normal cellular metabolism. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable, due to their unpaired electron, and will attack any molecule in your body, damaging many of the components of a cell, including DNA. DNA, of course, is the chemical of which genes is composed. When enough DNA is damaged, cells begin to die, contributing to the aging process. There is no cure for aging; nothing can prevent aging from taking place -- but scientists now believe that perhaps S.O.D. delays it. (Science Digest, August 1982)

The pure juice of young barely leaves happens to be one of the richest sources of this anti-aging enzyme S.O.D. The active S.O.D. occupies a part of the total mass of barley juice and is one of the highest of value found among natural sources. (S.O.D. -- Old Enzyme Article)

Current research is doing much to bolster the theory that S.O.D. can actually delay or slow down the aging process. Molecular biologist Kenneth Munkres and his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin examined several strains of the same species of mold and discovered that those that lived the longest were indeed those richest in S.O.D. The implications are intriguing, for if a cell's S.O.D. content can be manipulated, might not life spans be commensurately expanded or extended? (Science Digest, August 1982)

According to the best selling book LIFE EXTENSIONS, by Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw -- which focuses on all the latest and current theories and discoveries relating to the aging process and prolonging or extending one's life -- a study by Dr. Richard Cutler, a biophysicist at the National Institute of Aging, shows that the life spans of many mammalian species, including man, were found to be directly proportional to the amount of S.O.D. they contain. The animals with the longest spans and man were found to have the highest levels of S.O.D.

If this young green barley juice, one of the richest sources of the anti-aging enzyme S.O.D., can perhaps restore or revitalize our damaged cells, longevity and rejuvenation may be achieved. Young green barley juice may also help keep the skin young, fresh, soft and beautiful. (New York Speech, pg.7)

Benefits

Radiation and Cancer

It appears that S.O.D. also plays a key role in protection from cancer and radiation therapy. S.O.D.'s chief function in contrast to the other enzymes is as a cell protector. (Best Ways, August 1980)

Dr. Hagiwara in Japan, and biologist Dr. Jasuo Hotta, a specialist of gene engineering at the University of California at La Jolla, found that when barley juice was added to damaged cells, the DNA within the cells repaired itself very quickly. Current theories hold that both cancer and aging result when genes fail to repair themselves. In their experiments, the scientists exposed mouse cells to both radiation and a powerful cancer-causing chemical. Then they divided the cells into two sets, incubated both, and added the barley juice to only one set. The "untreated" cells fared poorly; many died and others began a slow self-repair process. But the cells treated with the barley juice recovered at an accelerated rate -- twice as fast as normal. When the Doctors added barley juice to the mouse cells before subjecting them to radiation and a carcinogen, Hotta says the repair rate was "...easily three times as fast as normal." Thus, Dr. Hagiwara claims, the findings may eventually help to prevent cancer, aging, or both. (Omni, May 1982)

Benzpyrene: 17 years ago, the F.D.A. announced that benzpyrene from cigarettes and tobacco causes lung cancer. However, it was revealed at the Japan Pharmaceutical Society that this "young green barley juice" greatly reduces the risk and neutralizes the poisonous effects of benzpyrene. (New York Speech, pg.5)

Black Char: It is well known that the black char in broiled and charcoal grilled meat contains elements which include 20,000 times more cancer-causing elements than that found in benzpyrene from tobacco. However, young green barley juice may help to protect the body from cancer by decomposing these elements. (New York Speech, pg.5)

BHT: In a report made to the Japan Pharmaceutical Society it was revealed that a sort of peroxidase extract from green barley juice powder can counteract the poisonous effect of BHT that is found in powered milk and processed meats. (Let's Live, March, 1982)

So Barley Green, because of the many thousands of live enzymes it contains, may help to counteract the many carcinogens in the environment even though we may be exposed to these pollutants. (New York Speech, pg.6)

Heart Attacks

Researchers in the Department of Medicine at St. Louis University have found that S.O.D. also greatly aids in the maintenance of damaged heart tissue. After a heart attack, cellular energy production is severely lowered. Prevention or delay of irreversible cell damage can be achieved by simply administering enzymes specifically aimed at maintaining the energy supply of the cell. S.O.D. may be one of those enzymes because it increases the efficiency of energy production. (Best Ways, August 1980)

P4 D1

Recently an isolated fraction of green barley juice known as P4 D1 was announced. According to Professor Dr. Jubota of the Tokoyo Science University, this substance suppresses pancreatitis, stomatitis, inflammation of the oral cavity and dermatitis, as well as lacerations of the stomach and duodenum. It is an ideal anti-inflammatory agent and its effects are measurably stronger than steroid and non-steroid drugs. (Nutrition News, September 1982)

Dr. Kubota also reported to the Annual Japan Pharmacy Science Association that the special fraction of green barley juice called P4 D1 produced remarkable stimulation to the repair of DNA in the reproductive cells. Dr. Kubota stated, "No stimulation of DNA repair or promotion of reproductive cell activity has been reported earlier from the use of any natural or synthetic source." This kind of discovery might portend the achievement of a longer life. (Nutrition News, September 1982)

What is Barley Pure?

Barley Pure is the pure juice from young barley leaves in dried or powdered form, extracted when the plants are no more than 12 inches high. At this age, the leaves have an intense bright green color, indicating high amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and protein. Barley Pure is 41% digestible protein. From the vitamins to the enzymes, all these micronutrients appear to have a restorative and anti-aging effect. Barley Pure is a live, natural, potent, organic food supplement. It's not a medicine or a drug, but a live, natural, potent, organic food supplement.

Howard Lutz, Director of the Institute for Preventive Medicine, says that "Barley grass is one of the most incredible products of this decade. It improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought...." What better testimonial could you have than the Director for the Institute of Preventive Medicine in Washington, D.C.? (Nutritional News, September 1982)

Why are people using Barley Pure?

Millions of Japanese have benefited from its use for a number of years. Why are so many people using Barley Pure?

Acid

Well, first of all, our bodies tend to be acid -- probably a result of consuming too many processed foods. Barley Pure is alkaline, which works to balance our blood, allowing our natural healing processes to ward off infection.

Salt

Most people eat too much salt. Barely Pure is high in potassium which works to balance the sodium in salt.

Meat

Meat is high in phosphorus, low in calcium. Barley Pure is high in calcium and low in phosphorus. This balance aids utilization of all minerals, leading to stronger bones and muscles.

Pollutants

Many processed foods have unnatural preservatives, chemicals and fillers which are toxic to our bodies. Barley Pure is high in chlorophyll which helps to neutralize and remove toxins from our bodies.

Cooked Foods

Cooking and heat destroy enzymes. Barley Pure is a natural raw food with thousands of live enzymes that aid in digestion and metabolism.

Drugs

Some medicines and drugs fight disease by killing harmful bacteria. Barley Pure fights disease by strengthening the body. Strong bodies resist disease.

Vitamins and Minerals

The juice from young barley leaves contains a multitude of vitamins and minerals: 30 times as much vitamin B-1 as in milk, 6.5 times as much carotene as in spinach, 11 times the calcium in cow's milk, nearly 5 times the iron in spinach, nearly 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, and 80 micrograms of vitamin B-12 per 100 grams of dried barley plant juice. Barley juice contains 15 times as much protein as an equivalent amount of milk, and when compared to wheat, barley juice contains 5 times as much protein, 25 times as much calcium, 4 times the vitamin B-1, 100 times the vitamin C, 20 times the vitamin E and 26 times as much potassium as in wheat. (Let's Live, 9/82 and New York Speech, pg.7)

High Blood Pressure

Let's focus on potassium for a minute. The increase in high blood pressure, heart disease and circulatory diseases has been attributed partially to the over-consumption of salt and high sodium levels. It has been found, however, that many of the drugs that alleviate the high sodium levels also tend to deplete the body of potassium, so the result may be a lowered blood pressure, but also fatigue, because of the lack of potassium. Research has shown that if potassium is simply added to the diet, it balances and neutralizes the sodium levels and helps to lower the blood pressure. Barley Pure happens to be an excellent source of potassium as well as calcium and a lot of other minerals that the body requires for health and well-being.

In addition, Research has shown that there may be a sort of glycoprotein in Barley Pure which may help to lower high blood pressure. (New York Speech, pg.8)

Enzymes

So, now we see that Barley Pure is beginning to set itself apart from other food supplements because of the multitude of vitamins and minerals it contains, but what really sets Barley Pure apart from other food supplements are the thousands of live enzymes. The anti-aging enzyme S.O.D. is one of the most important. These enzymes aid in digestion and metabolism, and also help to disperse vitamins and minerals easily. These thousands of live enzymes also help to purge the body of toxins, poisons, and pollutants that are absorbed through the air, water and the food we consume.

Water is polluted with many chemicals and heavy metals. Air is polluted with smog which contains deadly petroleum byproducts. Our foods contain lots of chemical substances, and manufactured foodstuffs are virtually devoid of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Barley juice helps to neutralize these poisons and toxins. (New York Speech, pg.1)

Chlorophyll

Barley juice is a superlative source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has a molecular structure almost exactly like that of hemoglobin, the protein found in red blood cells. Our blood, however, contains an atom of iron, while chlorophyll contains an atom of magnesium. It is known that in experiments with anemic animals, red blood cell count, even in the most anemic animals, returned to normal within 4 to 5 days after chlorophyll had been administered. (Nutrition News, September 1982)

So chlorophyll helps to build a high blood count and improve anemic conditions; provides iron to organs, counteracts toxins, helps purify the liver, improves blood sugar problems, including diabetes; helps sores heal faster, resists bacteria in wounds; cleans tooth and gum structure in pyorrhea, gingivitis and other gum diseases; soothes ulcer tissues; and, by the way, chlorophyll also helps to beautify the skin from within. (Remedial Effects of Chlorophyll)

Several million people in Japan have been taking Barley Pure for a number of years with very beneficial results. Now it's available to us.

Health Insurance

Barley Pure is the best health insurance you can buy -- natural, preventive health care. There is a price to pay for health. You can pay now to stay healthy, or...pay later to relieve pain and suffering.

Dr. Howard Lutz, Director of the Institute for Preventive Medicine in Washington, D.C., recommends that everyone drink a teaspoon of barley juice powder in 8 ounces of water daily, as part of his suggested program for looking ten years younger. Again, that's quite a testimonial, coming from the Director of the Institute of Preventive Medicine, in Washington, D.C.

Barley Pure supplies the necessary nutrients naturally and nutritionally aid in the maintenance of health.

Handling Objections: Turning Failure to Success

I would like to share this one, funny yet it made me tougher on rejections, I happen to surf this one in the net 2 years ago and I am teaching this to all my marketers and down lines on my business of network marketing.

THINK OF THESE…

What if, starting today, the word "no" didn't stop you anymore?

What if every time you heard the word "no," you became stronger, more powerful, and more resilient?

What if the greatest success strategy in the world was not to go for yes, but to go for no?

Top 5 Secrets How To Turn Failure into Success

Change your mental model of success and failure

Most people operate with the following mental model:

SUCCESS <== YOU ==> FAILURE

They see themselves in the middle, with success on one end and failure on the other. They do everything they can to move toward success and away from failure. But, what if you reconfigured that model?

YOU ==> FAILURE ==> SUCCESS

Instead of viewing failure as something to be avoided, turn it into a stepping-stone on the path to success and gratification. In other words: Success is the destination. Failure is how you get there.

To achieve significant success in today's world, failure is not just a possibility. It's a requirement. We must see success and failure for what they truly are, they re not opposites but instead opposite sides of the same coin.

Intentionally increase your failure rate

If it's true that the more we fail, the more we succeed (and it is), then your immediate goal should be to intentionally increase your failure rate! With this thought in mind, you re succeeding even when you fail! Yes, this is a counter-intuitive, reverse thinking philosophy. But trust me, it works!

Intentionally increasing failure is the basis for the "Go for No" concept. "Go for No" means the more people tell you "no," the closer you will get to ultimate success. In other words, the more people telling you no now, the more people will say yes in the long term. If they actually counted the number of times they hear "no" during a typical day or week, most people would be shocked to see how low the number actually is. Go ahead and try it!

Set "No" goals

Everyone sets success goals. But how about setting goals for the number of times we fail? For example, rather than a salesperson setting the goal of having two prospects say "yes" to them, they set the goal of being rejected (hearing "no") 10 times. Imagine the first two prospects they called on said, "Yes!" Rather than being done (having hit their "yes" goal), they'd actually be behind because they still have 10 no's to go!

The other exciting aspect of this strategy is how it keeps people "in the game" when they're "red hot"! If all you have is yes goals and then you slow down (or quit) when you're successful, the hot streak ends. But if you keep going when the yeses of life are falling at your feet, the sky is the limit!

Celebrate your failures, not just your successes

It's natural to be excited about our successes. Yes, you want to celebrate them. Yes, you want to give yourself a reward or even throw a party. But, if the key to success is to increase our failures, then it only makes sense to celebrate our setbacks as well. Yes, you heard right: if someone turns you down, celebrate it!

When is the last time you rewarded yourself for failing? Probably never! Instead of mentally punishing yourself for not succeeding, buy yourself an ice cream cone and say, "I'm one step closer to success!" Stop letting failure have the negative hold it has on your thoughts and emotions.

See courage as a "muscle"

If failure is a vehicle that can take you to success, then courage is the fuel! Courage is a muscle. And, like any muscle, you must develop and strengthen it with lots of exercise.

As the saying goes: Use it, or lose it! It's no different with courage. Use and develop your courage muscle by looking fear in the eye and taking action anyway. Each time you take action, the courage muscle gets stronger.

When you don't, it atrophies. And before you know it your courage is gone. But it doesn't have to be this way. All the courage you could ever want or need to achieve every goal you have is already in you, just waiting for you to take action.

So, change your mental models, intentionally increase your failure rate, set "no" goals, celebrate your failures and see courage as a muscle, and you'll significantly increase your success rate, guaranteed.

Remember, this strategy is not just a sales strategy. It is not just for businesses. It's for every aspect of your personal and professional lives.

HAPPY SELLING! THANK YOU….

Selling Cycle, Closing, Sales Psychology and Customer Decisions

In sales, only 3% of the available sales people will perform well because of their natural talent. Another 27%, if given the correct tools and support, will turn themselves into the desired 3%ers. Unfortunately, too many companies hire members of the leftover 70% wasting both their time and their money trying to make a sales person out of a passive person.

I usually teach this thing to my marketers and down lines, especially to the new ones, these are a compilation of learning from the sales guru in the internet. Above is an illustration of the selling cycle or process, understanding it would guide them for a better or smoother presentation. The illustration is like of a game of baseball or softball, where there are bases to complete until you score. (Click the image for better viewing, thanks.)

* 1st Base is for the first appointment.

* 2nd Base is when that opportunity becomes a prospect …

* 3rd Base is when the opportunity is totally qualified …

* You present your needs and cost appropriate solution between 3rd and Home.

* Home is when you score.

Most have a big gap between 1st and 3rd base, the areas where the actual selling takes place, that's where development (shown in blue) needs to take place as seen above.

And in the process of qualifying the marketer usually got a hard time to go for the kill or close that is why rather than expounding more of the process I jumped to the best part, the close.

CLOSING THE SALE

Ultimately, every sale comes down to the close - the moment of truth you've been building up to throughout the entire selling process. Is it stressful? Absolutely, because unless you are able to convert qualified leads into sales, all of your efforts to sell your product will have been wasted.

Given what's at stake, it's no wonder that many sales people find closing the deal to be the most uncomfortable and awkward part of their job. But that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. There are a number of things that you can do to reduce the stress and discomfort of the close.

Lay a solid Foundation

The selling process should have a natural flow so that when the time comes to close the deal, no one is taken by surprise. From the very beginning of the relationship the customer needs to understand that your goal is to help them make a decision to buy your product/services/opportunity. As the relationship progresses, your job is to build rapport and provide them with the information they need to make their decision.

Know the signs

As the customer gets nearer to making a decision, she will start to give you signs that the time for the close is approaching. These signs often come in the form of specific questions related to the product or service or of the opportunity that will be delivered after they sign on the dotted line.

For example, if you are selling green barley juice, the customer might ask how it will be taken. If you are offering the opportunity, they might ask whether your company is willing to do the presentation to their members. Never answer these questions with a simple "Yes" or "No" response! Instead, respond with a closing question such as, "Would you like to me to open one bottle to demo the mixing of barley and water?", or "Would you like me to schedule it to the soonest time, tomorrow or this weekend?"

Ask for the sale

You've heard it said before, but the most common reason why people don't buy is that the sales person never asked for the sale. At some point you just have to go for it and ask the customer to make a decision. There are an endless number of techniques to help you do this, but the effective ones have two things in common - they suggest specific terms (e.g. 20boxes free of charge delivery if paid advance in cash) and they demonstrate respect for the customer. People want to know what they are agreeing to, but they also want to be treated like a person and not like a number on a sales report. Do those things above and more often than not you will make the sale.

Be prepared to overcome objections

Despite your best efforts to lay a solid foundation and close the sale, the customer might still have some objections that need to be overcome. Before you are going for the close place yourself in the customer's shoes and ask what lingering objections might still exist? Cost? Timing? Availability?

Be prepared to meet your customer's indecision with a response that reinforces what you have been showing them in the steps leading up to the close and affirms that your product is the right product for them.

As I remind always to my down lines or marketers try “go for the kill”, time, money and effort would have been wasted if you leave without a sale.

BASIC CLOSING TECHNIQUES

You are right: "I can understand your hesitation, the benefits is certainly not exactly what you had in mind. But many of our customers felt the same way, until their friend start earning of the same marketing plan offered. They found that they were paid promptly."

Competitor endorsement: "Mr. Smith, as we discussed earlier, this is really good for diabetics. In fact, your neighbor Mr. Jones purchased one yesterday."

A choice: "Mr. Smith, would you like a box of ULTIMA-C or 2bottles of green Barley?"

Bluff Called: "Mr. Smith, if I can get you 3boxes of product packs of green Barley, would you take it?"

The impending doom: "Mr. Smith, please come and see us after you and your wife talk about the number of slots you will take. But, one of the reasons I wanted to wrap this up today for you is that the price increases tomorrow."

The crowded room: "One of the reasons I wanted to wrap this up today for you is that we only have seven (7) product packs left in inventory."

Logical: "If I can prove to you, without a doubt, that barley and psyllium husk will work, will you give it a try?"

The Challenge: "Mr. Smith, I don't think you will need only the green Barley. Can I show you what’s with ULTIMA-C?"

Value Added: "Mr. Smith, we have developed customer cumulative usage of 28bottles so you won't have to worry about that one-time P6,370."

Kick the Tires: "Mr. Smith, it looks like you are serious about this, but have some doubts. I'll tell you what, buy it and take it home for a couple of days. If I'm wrong, if you aren't satisfied for any reason, bring it back for a full refund."

Pre-Close: "If you buy this colon cleansing package, when do you plan to take it, this Friday or Saturday?"

An assumption: "Mr. Smith, where would you like this delivered?"

Luxury: "Treat yourself to something nice today and give us a try."

Reverse: "Mr. Smith, now that its over, could I ask just one question? Why wouldn't you buy from me?"

"You put your finger on the prospect's eye. So gradually, so gently, he doesn't blink." The prospect finally buys to end uncomfortable feelings caused by the closing techniques.

Reminder… .

Believe it or not, you still have not closed. You will close only when your customer is completely satisfied. What's better than closing on a bank check? How about one of the greatest aspects of industry business: repeat orders?

Use more of a conversational close, not a scripted close. There are some purchasing agents who want to be asked for their order. If they seem to be this type, if they look interested, and if the time is right, why not simply ask for the order?

Sell something that you believe in.

Sell the features and benefits.

Be yourself.

Don’t try to read or outsmart the people that you sell to.

People will respect you for your knowledge in your product, for having integrity, for being honest, and for being yourself. It is these types of people that get the sales, that get great testimonials, and that get further business referrals.

SALES PSYCHOLOGY And CUSTOMER DECISION

In the book of 7 Lies in Network Marketing and particular also on Selling is that “every one is a prospect, that they need your product and service”, I strongly disagree for the same statement, and to prepare or make my marketers elude from disappointments I show them this content, and it works!

Sales psychology and the politics of customer decisions will play an important part in your marketing and sales efforts. As a customer formulates their decision, many of their requirements are unspoken. You will never persuade your customer to talk with you about their psychological pressures which are, in other words, unspoken customer requirements.

Chances are good that the customer is completely unaware of psychological pressures that weigh upon his decision. Most sales people are also unaware. However, psychological pressures will affect a customer's decision just as certainly as a printed specification sheet.

If you are upset about not closing sales, or going crazy trying to build strong customer relationships, consider whether any of the following factors might apply to your particular situation.

Reputation: The customer's personal career reputation is more important than your product performance, price, quality, guarantees, service, and any number of excuses and free lunches.

The old saying is, "You are known by the friends you keep." What is your reputation? If you do not have a reputation, what does it seem like?

Trust: Your customers know that there are better vendors for the job. But you have the business because he knows that you will never get him in trouble with his superiors, their husbands or wives, or take credit for his work.

I have seen companies that will price a bit high to their bureaucratic customers. Then, within reason, they can take a few product returns, rather than push blame back to the ordering engineer.

Habit: Fast schedules and time constraints force customers to fill in the blanks. A customer makes decisions a certain way because it 'feels right' and caused him the least amount of pain in the past. The customer does not consciously know why he makes decisions, behaves or dresses the way he does.

Here is a good example ... ever meet someone who does not deal well with problems after 2:00 pm? Hint: It’s easier to change your presentation time, than it is to change their nature.

Clubs: A customer organization will have a core of 'club members'. Membership in the club speaks of achievement, loyalty, and privilege. One member's decision over-rules any non-member.

Nobodies: Beware of a customer who emulates their superior's authority or style. Others may resent their behavior, and perhaps their recommendations.

Perspective: Sales people think of scientists and say, "Can't I get a simple yes, or no?" Sales people are trained to think positively. Scientists think of sales people and say, "Lacks substance." Scientists are trained to think of all of the angles. Keep a healthy respect for other's perspectives.

Image: Is your customer management material? He will want to highlight his dedication and sense of urgency. For example, he may call a weekend or 5:00am meeting, regardless if the time for such a meeting is logical or required.

Once, on a Friday, a customer asked me to attend a problem solving meeting that he scheduled for 5:00am on Monday. He could have easily scheduled the same meeting for Tuesday at 3:00 pm. I didn't question his time, not even jokingly. I enthusiastically thanked him for the invitation, then purchased a Sunday plane ticket and an extra alarm clock.

Politics: Some in an organization make decisions based only on personal gain. They rule against your idea when the organization may have something to gain by success; but, they personally have nothing to gain from taking the risk.

In their minds, a possible benefit to the organization is only worthwhile when it may result in their personal gain.

Branding: Your first job at a new prospect is to make your name known. Does your prospect remember you? Really? Face it, after a few weeks, some busy executives might forget they talked with you -- or met with you -- entirely.

Find ways to keep in touch with your customers.

Subordinates: You will need help from subordinates. So, don't forget to give them the time and respect that they really deserve. Consider the receptionist who won't let you speak to the manager. How about the quiet laboratory technician who has poor social skills, and can accomplish significant things with your product?

Your customer's high-powered top managers may organize and motivate well, communicate and dress well, but might not fully understand your product. So guess whose opinions they rely on in their final analysis (hint: not yours)?

How To Make Yourself More Alkaline

By Pamela Turley, eHow Contributing Writer

Make Yourself More Alkaline

Research shows that pH balance--the ratio of alkalinity to acidity in the body--is crucial to good health. The body should be more alkaline than acid, although balance is key.

Higher alkaline means more oxygen is available in the blood to be circulated throughout the body.

An acidic pH means less oxygen in the blood and is associated with fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, depression and many diseases, even cancer. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Above 7.0 is alkaline; below 7.0 is acidic. Human blood should be slightly alkaline from 7.35 to 7.45. However, studies show most people today fall into the acidic range.

You can test your pH balance with in-home test strips, if you find your body is too acidic, you can follow some easy steps to make yourself more alkaline. It may take a month or two to find your balance, but the added energy, well-being and health will be worth it.

Instructions

Step 1

Eat more alkaline-producing foods. These include many fruits and vegetables, some nuts, green tea and many more. Optimally, your diet should be 60 percent alkaline.

Step 2

Limit acid-producing foods. Red meat and pork are the big culprits, as are artificial sweeteners, colas and processed foods. Again, consult your food list. If your pH test shows you to be extremely acidic, avoid the worst offenders until your pH levels are more balanced. Then, include your favorite acidic foods as long as they are only 30 percent of your diet.

Step 3

Drink alkaline water. Alkaline water helps the body filter out toxins and reduces acid.

Step 4

Take a quality mineral supplement every day. Minerals, such as magnesium and potassium, are important for every function of the body, but especially in keeping the adrenal glands healthy. The adrenal glands help control the body's pH. Mineral deficiency means an acidic body.

Step 5

Have a Massage. Weekly pampering with massage help your blood circulates freely, thus, sending back the blood to the heart thereby purifying it and pumping out new slightly alkaline blood to our organs and/or system.

Step 6

Don't worry, be happy. Practice gratitude every day. Meditate, play sports or exercise, do yoga. Or invest in binaural beat brainwave entrainment technology, such as Holosync, which has been proven to reduce stress by altering brain waves. Stress and the resulting release of excess cortisol into the blood play a major role in increasing acidity.

Water to drink...

THREE ESSENTIAL NEEDS FOR ONGOING HEALTH ARE TO EFFECTIVELY HYDRATE, ALKALIZE, and DETOXIFY:

"HYDRATION" refers to assimilating adequate "quality" water, water that mimics water found in nature-- clean water full of "stable" oxygen, alkalinity, high in negative ions, smaller water molecules, and has an adequate negative ORP. Estimates are that 70% of us are "Dehydrated"; chronic dehydration and over acidity are largely responsible for the degeneration of our body including the organs and brain that have a high water content. In order to properly function and eliminate toxins these specific parts and our entire body MUST be adequately hydrated. For example, some experts believe that Dementia and Alzheimers are examples of a dehydrated brain that simply requires quality water to function properly! Higher 'stable' oxygen water creates more energy in our body (as athletes are aware). The smaller the water molecules the easier they will absorb and hydrate; for instance Tap water has 10-13 water molecules and the Ionized water 5-6. You can drink large quantities of some water and never feel satiated/hydrated, but the smaller water molecules hydrate much more effectively. This is also referred to as "wetter" water; smaller and more absorbable molecules (some call it "magnetized, restructured, micro-clustered, and state their units are not even water "filtration systems"?

-ORP is the "oxidation reduction potential", the ability for the body to eliminate oxidates which build up and create acidity and age us. The negative ORP, and the higher number is better, is what is beneficial to our body to REDUCE aging; a.k.a. "anti-oxidant", the ability to neutralize free radicals largely responsible for the aging process. A 10 is the highest pH you should drink,

"ALKALIZE" or "ALKALINITY" is about keeping a healthy human pH at approximately 7.365, a 7 is considered neutral, below a 7 acidic and above a 7 "alkaline".

The bottom line is: Acidity ATTRACTS and CREATES symptoms starting as pain, arthritis, lumbago, osteoporosis, high or low blood pressure, obesity, low energy, depression, which can easily build up and create more acidity and DEGENERATIVE DISEASES such as chronic arthritis, diabetes and cancer.

"Alkalinity" deters and detoxifies acidic wastes/toxins out of the body that were the "cause" of creating the symptom/problem itself. Degenerative diseases like cancer and diabetes do not thrive in a high alkaline/high oxygen environment (Dr. Otto Warburg in 1931 demonstrated how oxygen destroys cancer cells--he won the 1931 Nobel Prize for this discovery).

ACIDITY creates DISEASE… ALKALINITY creates HEALTH. Alkaline neutralizes acid.

"DETOXIFY" is about getting rid of the wastes/toxins that accumulate in the body; they build up the acidity/lower the pH to well under a 7 and create symptoms and degenerative diseases in addition to being a major factor in the aging process. Our body is designed to effectively eliminate waste deposits building up in our organs, etcetera on a daily basis. The problem lies in an overload of toxins, dehydration, and acidity created by: poor diet (soft drinks, caffeine, sugar, processed and fast foods, high sodium, meat, white flour, sugar, artificial sweeteners, tap, distilled, or reverse osmosis water sources, pasteurized dairy products, denatured foods, lack of raw enzymes...) and Lifestyle choices (lack of exercise, drugs-highly acidic, obesity, high stress, anger, fear, worry...).

Bacteria, fungi, and parasites thrive in an acidic environment and they expel more acid waste (mycotoxins) into our bloodstream. A "Healthy" pH is ESSENTIAL to our human system for ongoing and balanced health and wellness. We have both acid and alkaline existing in our body. A proper alkaline pH deters bacteria, inflammation and disease. The pH balance is so important that when no more calcium is available our body leeches it from our bones (explaining why arthritis/pain/osteoporosis is so common). Most people are not only dehydrated but also "acidic" with a pH below a 7 inviting symptoms and further deterioration of our body on a daily basis . The key to a healthy human system is raising your pH.

ALKALINE WATER is good for: drinking, cooking, plants, soaking meat, washing fruits and veggies

ACIDIC WATER is good for: washing the face, hair, brushing the teeth, gargling, healing cuts/bruises, burns, poison ivy, athletes foot, plants... (NOT for drinking).

Which water should we choose?

TAP WATER?

Contaminated with added Sodium Fluoride--related to nitrogen fertilizer, a poison and insecticide, degenerates bones, pits teeth... chlorine bleach--found to lead to many cancers, dries the hair and skin, not a "healthy" bacteria killer...contains pesticides, drug runoff, asbestos, heavy metals...acidic or with a neutral pH?...not hydrating--large water molecules...

DISTILLED / REVERSE OSMOSIS?

Acidic with a pH of between 5.5 and 6.5, poor hydration through large water molecules, leeches minerals out of our body, "dead" water... Reverse Osmosis and other purification processes take away EVERYTHING from the water, including the good stuff like essential trace minerals that our bodies absolutely need to survive! When you remove the minerals from the water, it tends to fill that emptied space (replacing the minerals) by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air that makes the water acidic! About 4.0 on the PH scale, number 7.0 being neutral. Distilled and purified water is dead acidic water!

ALKALINE / MINERALIZED WATER?

YES, with pH of 7.5 to 10, Alkalize now or die… .

How much water should we drink?

About 1/2 of our body weight in ounces daily, a 125 pound person should drink a gallon+ of quality water daily (clean alkaline water, not coffee, tea, soda ).
