This Is Why I Love To Network

It finally comes a time when someone you have been networking with says to you. I’m ready to sign up with you. Whether it’s to become a member or an (IBO) independent business owner with you. It makes me smile. Thanks AmeriPlan

Membership Incentive

I recently got some new members by referrals. That is one of the best ways. And just a couple of days ago, I got a call from someone who found one of my sizzle cards in a book.

So you say, big deal a card in a book. It happened to be in a book on a book store or library shelf. I confess, I leave my sizzle cards in unusual places. But they are affective. And not just any book. Depending on my card and I have a few different ones; business or membership related. I place them in motivational, business or healthcare books. Especially, the books that I have taken out of the library, I use my cards as bookmarks and they get left in it, when they get taken back to the library.

My membership incentive is, receive $100 to $500 in Groceries with a quarterly or yearly membership. That goes for anyone who is interested in becoming an IBO too.

Big Savings!

I got a call from one of my members a few days ago, and she was so happy. She went to the dentist and she was told that she needs lots of work done. That’s not what made her happy. Then she got the bill, $4,200. Ouch. That’s not what made her happy. She gave them her discount card and her bill was now $2,000. Saving 50%, that’s what made her HAPPY!

Discount vs. Traditional

So why should you get a discount plan over traditional. Maybe not over but in conjunction. But then many people don't even have traditional insurance. So then a discount plan is definitely what you need. If you look at both types, people have been conditioned to get traditional. Because, that is what they are told. And, so they think that is what is all they need. Wrong. Why, because if you look at how much someone pays monthly for traditional, it becomes overkill. Especially, if you add on dental. Dental insurance is called the luxury insurance. Not really needed, unless you have a mouth full of major problems. And that is still the wrong reason to have traditional dental insurance. There is nothing that a good discount plan can do to save you lots of dollars.

So what is the difference between discount and traditional. Money. When you look at how a discount plan works; you pay a low monthly membership fee. Then when you need to use a service you pay fee for service. Whether it’s by check, cash or credit; you pay the discounted fee. So, an example of a teeth cleaning. The member pays $19.95 a month for the plan and the teeth cleaning costs $48. If your going twice a year, that’s $96 plus the yearly amount of membership $239.40, totaling $335.40. Sounds like a lot. Not really. That membership is for the whole household. A teeth cleaning without any coverage will cost anywhere from $75.00 to $150.00. And if you have an oral exam ($100) , x-rays ($143) added, your bill has just gone up. Way up. When you have a discount plan, then you are saving anywhere from 25% to 80%. With a discount plan, that oral exam would only be $30 and x-rays $50. And, if you added up the cost for just one cleaning without coverage it can be around $393.00.

I would say so far you are saving so much more with a discount plan. $335.40 for 2 cleanings, compared to $393.00 for one with no coverage. But if you were paying for a traditional insurance, you may say…I get my cleanings for free. No. You are still paying that high monthly fee. The only exception would be, if you worked for a company that is paying for your insurance. That is rare. Very rare. And I say congrats to you who do. But, that is not really the case for most of us.

And if you do have traditional insurance, you can only use x amount of dollars per year. And if you don’t use what you have, it starts all over the next year. And if you get insurance, you have a waiting period before you can use it. With a discount plan, you pay for what is needed and when. There is no waiting period. I’ve put people in a dental chair within 45 minutes of signing up.

Of course, not only do you have discounts for you basic dental needs. There are major savings when root canals, bridges, extractions, etc. is needed.

And I only touched upon the dental program. Because; with my discount program, the $19.95 also includes services for chiropractic, prescription and vision. Now, you can see how much you will be saving over traditional. Oh, I haven’t even talked about our medical program, where you can even save way more. Check back at my next segment.

Here is a mini video ad I created. I posted it up on my YouTube, MySpace and Facebook sites.

Reflection:

As I sit here, just thinking about 2008. What changes I have made this past year to better myself. I think how lucky I am to have my health. I watched the burial of good friend who made so many people smile. She had a contagious laugh. You knew when she walked into the room, that this will be a great party. Now when there is a get together; my friend is always remembered. With some wetness in the eyes, big smiles always follow. And the changes I have made are to surround myself with positive people. Good friends that enjoy life.

What I wish I could have changed was to insist that another good friend would take out a membership that I offered. Now I know trying to twist someone’s arm to see what I have is what they need is not the way to go. It’s not good for relationships and especially for my business. But now he lies in a hospital with a stroke; that will take a very long time to come back from. And because he never became a member, he now may loose his home because of all the bills piling up. As a member, his partner who has to deal with finding money’s to pay the bills and a way to keep the house; wouldn’t have had to worry that much. Only; to put more of his energy into helping his friend recoup.

Once again I thank G-d for my health. Not only do I offer a wonderful discount benefits program. I am grateful that I also am a member. Even though I am in perfect health. It’s always best to be safe.

Unlike insurance that is very costly, my program is very affordable and saves me big dollars on all my health services. Now I can and I have listed some of my own personal testimonials; but if you would like to see how many others have also saved. And saved not only a few dollars, but also saved BIG! Please take this opportunity to check out the testimonial link on my website. www.benefitsave.com

Not only are there several programs to choose from. You can also get two extra benefits that are not health related but can help you with roadside and legal problems. Once again very affordable; because all the programs costs cover the whole household.

I wish you and your family a very healthy 2009.

Save Today

Are you tired of paying full price for your prescriptions? I just talked to someone the other day and after she saw the doctor, she went to fill her prescription. She ended up paying full price of $80. If she called me just a few days earlier, she could have saved 50 - 80 percent on that prescription. Have you hurt yourself lately and need to go to the chiropractor? Save from 25 - 60 percent and oh the first visit is FREE. What about those eyes of yours.... Eye exams, glasses, contacts, etc. Save from 25 - 60 percent. Instead of spending $600, I personally got 2 pairs for half off. A $300 savings. Then there is one of the most important parts of your body; your smile. How is yours? Or maybe you are spending $75 - $150 just for a teeth cleaning. Cut that in half or even up to 80 percent.
