Action Plan
Step 3: Create A List - Your Most Valuable Asset
Creating your Contact List is one of the most important exercises in building a successful Vemma business. Remember, this is an exposures business and your results will be dependent on the number of new people that you share Vemma with on a daily and weekly basis. Keep in mind that you are sharing a product and a business that could have a tremendous impact in helping people with their physical and financial health. Your mindset should be “share and expose” NOT “sell and recruit”. We call it SHARING AND CARING! As you share the Vemma or Verve and the Vemma business to individuals, realize that we are in the sorting business, not the convincing business. Simply lighten up, have fun and “say less to more people”! We will coach you as to exactly what to do and how to do it.
Now before you begin sharing and caring, you must first create your Contact List. If you discovered a gold mine with an unlimited supply, who would you tell about it first? Always remember that you are offering people the gift of health and wealth. You are doing something FOR them!
The DOs and DON’TS of Making a List - DO make your list as long as possible.
- It’s your game plan - your greatest asset when starting the business.
- The longer your list, the more confidence you will have. If you have a list of 10 people and the first five (5) say no, you will feel pressure to enroll the next five (5) and this can put you into the “begging” mode and will greatly reduce your effectiveness. However, if you have a list of 100, and the first five (5) say no, you have 95 other people to contact and a game plan over the next 30 days. Remember, say less to more people.
The DOs and DON’TS of Making a List - DO NOT pre-judge anyone.
- You never know who will do this business. You never know the timing in someone’s life.
- They could end up in someone else’s organization.
- Sift and Sort -You want to give people enough information so they can make a good decision as to whether Vemma is right for them. Do not try and talk people into doing the business against their will.
Steps to Developing your Warm Market Contact List
- 1. Use the Memory Jogger in this section to make a list of at least 75 - 100 people that you know on a first-name-basis. If you have e-mail addresses, that is even better. In addition, you can use the Yellow Pages as a Memory Jogger. Start with the letter A and ask yourself, “Who do I know who is an Accountant, a Banker or a Carpenter?”
- 2. In the left column (the “Code” column), identify those people on your list who:
- Are “People” Persons (P)
- You have strong influence with Or if They Have a strong influence with Others (I)
- Have a special Vemma product need (V)
These are the people you will contact first. Keep in mind, the ones that are geographically closer to you will be the best ones to start with, because you will be able to PLACE the product with them sooner.
Many times you will have the ability to influence people into the business by asking them to join simply based on your judgment. These are obviously strong relationships and may tend to be more localized than long distance, in nature.

Now that you have created your initial Contact List, keep in mind that this is on ongoing tool and discipline. You are always meeting people and therefore should be adding new people to your list every day. In addition, you will think of individuals that you left off your initial list. Therefore, keep your list close by so you can add to it daily!
As you created your list, we coached you NOT to pre-judge. Now we do want you to PRIORITIZE who you contact first.
From the initial Contact List that you created, prioritize the Top 20 people that are having a health challenge:
