1a Brief history of LegalShieldLegalShieldiscompletelyuniqueinalltheworldofnetworkingcompanies.Readontofindouthow!

LegalShield was founded in 1972 with one idea: to provide equal justice under law. Company founder, Harland Stonecipher, conceived the idea by accident, quite literally. On July 11, 1969, he was involved in a head-

on collision which resulted in serious legal fees. He had auto insurance to cover the damage to his car, medical insurance to cover the cost of his hospital stay, and even life insurance had the accident been fatal. But he had no coverage or protec-tion for the legal bills that accumulated.

LegalShield became one of the first companies in the United States organized sole-ly to design, underwrite and market legal expense plans. For a low monthly fee of $26 or less, the Company’s membership plans offer a variety of legal services in a manner similar to medical reimbursement plans or HMOs.

We are a Product driven CompanyLegalShield offers unique and difficult to duplicate products. And our suite of products meets multiple needs.

In addition to the Family Plan and the Identity Theft Shield membership, LegalShield offers variety of other membership plans, such as:

• Group Plans to offer as an employee benefit • Small Business Plans to protect business owners • Commercial Driver’s Plans for over-the-road truckers • Specialty Plans for law enforcement officers, teachers and real estate professionals

For a more detailed breakdown of the LegalShield Family Plan, visit your back office by going to www.mylegalshield.com and clicking on Associates Only and logging in.

LicensingSome states require a license through the department of insurance to market legal plans in their state. While this helps lend credibility to the service and the company as a whole, it also means that in those states, you must be licensed to market our services there. The states which require a license are:

TheCanadianprovinceofManitobaalsorequiresalicense.

If you live in a state that requires a license or if you have prospects in those states, you DO NOT have to wait until you are licensed to get started building your busi-ness. You can market the Identity Theft plan without a license, and you can recruit new Associates in those states without a license. The license is only required to enroll a new legal plan member. You can also market legal plans immediately in the other 37 states and provinces that do not require a license. However,theprovinceofManitobarequiresyouhaveyourlicenseBEForEyoumakeanysaleorenrollanyrecruit.

For detailed information on obtaining your license to market plans in the above listed states, visit www.mylegalshield.com, login to the Associates Only area and click the “Documents on Demand” link. License applications and instructions for most states are listed there. If you have questions, call LegalShield Licensing at 580-436-7424, Option 4.

LegalShield CompensationThe LegalShield compensation plan allows you to get paid right away through advanced commissions – as well as allowing you to build a long-term income through overrides and residual income. This section will give you a quick overview of how you will be paid, how to advance in the compensation plan and what it can mean to you as you build your business long term.

The Compensation Plan OverviewThis chart shows what you get paid at each level on a $35.95 Family Plan with the Identity Theft Shield membership. Obviously, if you market a plan that costs more (like a business plan), you get paid more and if you market a plan that costs less (like the $26.95 Standard Plan), your commissions will be lower.

New Jr. Associates will receive a 50% advance ($34.57) on memberships. Upon Fast Start qualification the additional 50% advance will be paid out.

There are also two ways to move through the compensation plan. You can either advance through personal production (memberships you person-ally enroll) or through organizational production and structure (memberships enrolled by you and your team).

Your First Step – Fast Start QualifyYour first step in LegalShield is to Fast Start qualify. This is a huge advantage to help you get started quickly. As a new recruit, you have 30 days to FSTS qualify but by attending this Basic Training class you can extend your qualification pe-riod! When you complete your Basic Training class within 30 days from the date your application is processed, you then have 30 days from your class date to FSTS qualify.

How do you qualify? Achieve one of the following scenarios in your first 30 days:

See Appendix C in this workbook for a chart to use to help you keep track of your qualification!

a ShOrTCUT TO MOVing TO The aSSOCiaTe LeVeL Fast Start qualifying is a shortcut to moving to the Associate level. There are sev-eral benefits to Fast Start qualifying:u Rank advance: Jr. Associate ($69.14/membership) g Associate ($103.71/membership)

u Position yourself to start earning overrides on memberships marketed by new Jr. Associates on your teamu Earn advance commissions on all memberships Prior to Fast Start qualifying, you will receive 50% advance commissions, which means you will earn $34.57/member- ship advanced and the rest will be paid as-earned until you Fast Start qualify.

u Participate in Training Bonuses at all levels Training bonuses are paid out each time someone Fast Start qualifies. You can earn between $15 and $140 each time someone on your team qualifies. However, if you do not Fast Start qualify yourself, you will not be eligible for the bonuses until you reach the level of Manager.

Fast Start Bonuses

See back office for additional details on bonus compensation.

NOTES:

L e g a L S h i e L d : B a S i C T r a i n i n g

OverridesOverrides are what you earn by helping support and train your team. LegalShield pays a cumulative differential override, which means that you earn the difference between the commissions at your rank and the rank of the next person in that leg of business.

OVerride eXaMPLeThe following example is of a Manager using $35.95 memberships. As you see in the chart above, a Manager makes $172.84 in personal commissions when he/she markets a membership. They also earn up to $103.21 in overrides. This means that a Manager who personally markets three memberships and who builds a team [like that one outlines below] that markets an additional 19 memberships can earn over $1,700/month part time!

NOTES:

L e g a L S h i e L d : B a S i C T r a i n i n g

residual incomeThe compensation plan is a one-year advanced commission structure, so what happens when a membership “stays on the books” year after year? You continue to get paid!

Residual income is the money you receive for the life of the membership once the advance commision is “paid out.” So as long as the member keeps the plan, you earn residual income.

Based on you and your organization’s one-year retention, you can earn a 1% to 18% lifetime residual on the membership (based on the level you were when the membership was originally sold).

For example, if you were paid a $150 one-year advance on a membership, and qualified to receive a 15% residual, you would continue to earn $22.50 every year the membership stays active (paid monthly). The same would be true for any overrides you received. You would continue to get paid a residual on your override income as well.

Player’s ClubPlayer’s Club is a bonus program that rewards consistency. Simply earn five Play-er’s Club points per month, and you will be a member of the Player’s Club. Youmusthavea75%rollingretentionrateduringthemonthtoreceiveabonuscheckthatmonth,sofocusonwritinggoodbusiness!

Here is how you earn Player’s Club points:

Extra Player’s Club points earned during a month can be carried over to the next month (up to five extra points). This means if you earned eight points in January, three points will be carried over for February!

in Business for Yourself – not by YourselfIn LegalShield, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You will find that any challenge you face has been faced before and any question you ask has been asked before. There are time-tested methods of building this business that work, and we know that if you will trust these systems, they will work for you too!

The SystemHaving a system in place allows your business to grow long distance and indepe-nently of you. If your business is dependent on you (your charisma, your sales ability, your past experience or success, etc.), then it will limit your success. However, if you trust in a system and keep it simple, it allows anyone to recruit a “superstar” from 300 miles away.

During the online First Step Training, you: 1. Created your list 2. Sorted your list 3. Learned how to contact and invite

From there, you have some options on how you “contact and invite” people and what you will invite them to do .

The ListYour list iS your business. The bigger your list, the bigger your business. It is a common tendency for people to pre-judge others though. Just remember, when you pre-judge someone, you are taking away their right to make their own deci-sion. Our job is not to convince anyone to do anything. Our job is to simply expose them to our membership or opportunity – to share the plan – and let them make their own decision.

Write down the names and numbers of as many people as you can. If you get stuck, look at the memory joggers on page 19 to help you think of more people you know. Remember, a big list

means a big business. How big do you want your business to be?

Sort the ListNow that you have a list, the next process is to sort your list. You can start by sim-ply dividing your list into five categories:

Top 10 - Who are the ten people on your list that are the “warmest.” Who can we can you get in front of this week?

Business - Who are business owners, HR Directors, or business leaders?

Opportunity - Who do you know that is looking for an opportunity to earn addi-tional income right now?

membership - Who do you know that is going through a “life events” situation right now?

Everyone Else - It is important to approach EVERYONE on your list with the membership or opportunity

The most important thing is know what category your prospect falls into. If they are a business owner for example, you may want an experienced Associate in your support team to go with you to explain all of the products that can benefit a Small Business owner. If they are in your “Top 10”, you’ll want to book an appointment with them this week and use a tool to explain the membership and opportunity.

COnTaCT and inViTeNow that you have your list and it is sorted, it’s time to get to work! You will con-tact and invite people in one of three ways: a) Share the Plan b) Leverage an Expert c) Invite to an Event

We’ll talk about the best way to do each of these in the following sections.

dave Savula: Three-Part appointment SetThis script can be recited in any order. Just remember to include all three lines!

“I have something I’d like to show you.” “It will only take about 15 minutes.” “You may or may not be interested.”

Your interpretation might go something like this:

“Hi <their name>, how are you? Great! Look, I have something I’d like to show you, and you may or may not be interested, but it will only take about 15 minutes. Can I swing by your house on my way home?” <Or set another time for the ap-pointment .>

Flipbook PresentationOnce you have booked your appointment, practice your flipbook presentation at least once before you go to your appointment. Using the flipbook is easy – just read and turn the page. Or have your prospect read along with you. Not comfort-able speaking in front of prospects yet? Use the prerecorded presentation mes-sage. The number is located on the flipbook.

If your prospect asks a question you do not know the answer to, it is okay! Just let them know “I’m new, but that is a great question. Let me get an expert on the phone to answer that when we finish.” This lets your prospect know that you care enough to give them correct information and lets them know that you don’t have to be an expert to do this business because there is a support system in place!

NOTES:

L e g a L S h i e L d : B a S i C T r a i n i n g

Share The PLanWhen you share the plan, you will do that in one of two ways: setting an appoint-ment to do a flipbook presentation or sharing a DVD/CD or web presentation.

Practice setting an appointment using one of the two scripts below:

The help ScriptHey <their name>, I just started a business/career and wanted to know if you could help me out. I need to practice my presentation 10 times. Would you be willing to let me practice my presentation

with you? You may not be interested in the service, but I would greatly appreci-ate your feedback. I would love for you to know what I am doing anyway. Would Wednesday or Thursday work better for you? <Set a time for the appointment.>

Page 24: Basic Training Workbook - begintheascent.com

NOTES:

L e g a L S h i e L d : B a S i C T r a i n i n g

When you get your expert on the phone, make sure your prospect is in the right frame of mind to listen to your expert by properly introducing them. Then your only job is to remain silent until you are asked to be part of the conversation. Again, it’s important to let your expert be the expert.

inViTe TO an eVenT

Events are the most effective way to share the business. There are numerous benefits, but the best is that you know your prospect saw the whole presentation and that it was given by someone who really knows how to properly conduct the

presentation.

LeVerage an eXPerTYou can leverage an expert’s knowledge in two scenarios. Either as a first exposure to the business or as a second exposure after the prospect has reviewed some information. Either way, your job as a new Associate is to setup the interaction properly. This process is called edification.

Edificationsimplymeanstospeakhighlyofsomeone.
