Based on participant response, the Zummit was a resounding success! Our initial eight and half-hour program was extended another hour by popular demand as participants remained enthusiastically engaged till the very end and beyond! To give you a glimpse of the Zummit experience, the ZLinked corporate team is pleased to share the following summary. (We also plan to share the PowerPoint presentation in the Z-Center next week.) Don’t fret if you were not able to attend, our hope is to package the event and host several regional meetings… perhaps at a location near you! Here’s the key…as sales growth permits. Let’s build this company together, and as the increase comes there’s no question we’ll have the ability to replicate this event time and time again!

No ZLinked Zummit is complete without fun and application… and many “zurvived” our innovative approach to experiential training.  Our experiential learning modules included:

• - In class role playing sales scenarios and overcoming prospect rebuttals
• - Applying the day-long ZLinked Zummit discoveries by spending the afternoon on the streets of Anaheim and literally promoting ZLinked to the local businesses.  A number of free web listings were collected with many businesses extending invitations to follow up later in the week to chat up ZLinked with the appropriate decision makers.

Allen Rejonis, Vice President of Zurvita’s Commercial Division/ZLinked spent the closing moments of the Zummit updating participants on the immediate “next steps” for ZLinked.  Highlights included:

• - A preview of the new www.zlinked.com and the rationale behind the web site’s design.  We have determined the soft launch was not yet ready given testing of the web site was not completed.  And while the IT team believes it could be in a matter of a couple of weeks, Allen will most likely hold off on the new brand introduction and time the release with our new comp plan… which was also introduced!
• - Yes, there’s a new compensation plan for Consultants!  The new comp plan places our network marketing Consultants on the same playing field with our Direct Sales team… which will avoid cannibalization between the two sales channels… it also means a more robust comp offering for Consultants and will now pay approximately 40% of the retail price point + set up fee Month 1 and 17% on the reoccurring.  Up line will still be compensated but the code will be eliminated.  We’ll soon formally announce this to the field with supporting documentation with a planned launch for Monday, September 5.  More good news… all existing business will also be moved to the new comp structure at this time as well!
• - A preview of some of ZLinked’s new marketing materials was enthusiastically received.
• - ZocialBoost does not officially launch until the new brand/web site launches Monday, September 5 – barring any major technical obstacles.  Until such time, we’ll continue to market the Ad service as Face-boost.

What is Zurvita’s New Local Ad Link?

However, before I list these benefits, let’s take a closer look at what LocalAdLink is and how an Ad works?

LocalAdLink was developed for the small business owner who lacks the time, money and expertise to build an effective online marketing campaign. It is an Online Business Directory and Internet Marketing Solution that gives you that internet presence and drives traffic to your Ad site through Geo-Targeted and Contextual Targeted advertising. This offers advertisers an exceptional chance to be found on the internet that most other forms of advertising companies cannot provide.

An ad is created, which becomes an individual web page within the directory. That ad is then aggressively pushed out to the Social Networks sites such as FaceBook and MySpace. LocalAdLink also pushes the ad out to High Traffic websites like Popular Mechanics, Martha Stewart and CNN just to name a few. To top it off, the ad is placed on search engines so that your customers can find your local business through a direct internet search on Google, Yahoo, Bing and many others.

How does LocalAdLink benefit Zurvita and fit into the product line?

For starters, LocalAdLink gives all business owners a way to have an affordable internet advertising presence. In today’s world, the internet is an essential part of our lives and having a compelling internet advertising presence is essential. If you are not reaching your customer online, they will take their business to your competition who can be found online.

The network marketing experience of Zurvita blends well with the LocalAdLink internet advertising technology to provide an excellent product for the business consumer and a solid company for those looking to join a network marketing company. And, as MLM products and services go, internet advertising is not a saturated service. That means you will not have to be competing with lots of other marketers for the business of these advertisers.

A second key advantage is that LocalAdLink is another piece in Zurvita’s business to business model that has Commercial Energy as the foundation. This is key because most MLM companies have a product line that only appeals to the everyday consumer and not business customers. While Zurvita is developing a line that appeals to not only consumers for personal use but also businesses. This is an advantage to the distributor base, in that, it allows them to make multiple product sales to one business.

It is with this business to business model that Zurvita will be gaining the most from in their acquisition of LocalAdLink because it fills a much needed gap in network marketing products to the consumer. Bearing in mind this element, Zurvita should see a rise in growth as a company and its distributors who take action should see growth in their incomes as well.

The last important benefit is that LocalAdLink will increase the size of Zurvita, both as a company and its revenues. This is a good thing for the publicly traded company. This is will generate more buzz in the MLM community and will help Zurvita to become a household name.

I believe that, with the assortment of products and services that Zurvita currently offers, LocalAdLink will fit right in. I highly recommend starting your own Zurvita business if you are looking for a company with great growth potential and a compensation plan that will help you secure your own financial future.
