SECTION 1 - WELCOME TO THE GELMOMENT FAMILY
GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR GELMOMENT BUSINESS Welcome to GelMoment; the One-Step Gel Nail Polish Direct Sales brand for women on the go who want beautiful nails! We want to congratulate you on joining our family and for taking the initiative to launch your own GelMoment Business. The GelMoment Distributor model is home-based, which gives you the ability to create a business that works with your lifestyle. GelMoment products are meant to be sold from person-to-person and are not to be sold in a retail environment except for independently owned hair salons and spas that are not part of a franchise. Our Compensation Plan gives you the opportunity to generate income, based on your lifestyle. You can choose to be a high-net-earner, or just look at GelMoment as an opportunity to supplement an existing income. Read through this Training Manual and familiarize yourself with all you need to know about GelMoment.
MEET THE FOUNDER Dov Grossnass
Ever the entrepreneur, Dov was always working on new ideas and concepts. In 2000, he founded one of the first
online coupon companies ever. After selling this company a couple of years later, he founded and ran a non-profit
school for underprivileged children for ten years.
During this time, he began getting involved with cosmetics, including developing and patenting an award winning
new concept for mascara. Color polish and skin care became his focus and together with his team at the lab, he
spent a number of years working on the GelMoment One-Step Gel Nail Polish concept.
After all this time and effort, it is very exciting to watch GelMoment grow to its present state. Without a doubt, this
has become a labor of love. Originally from London, UK and currently living in Montreal, Dov is married and is the
proud father of six children.

OUR PRODUCT
GelMoment prides itself on providing the highest quality, unique and growing range of products for hands, nails
and feet. GelMoment has created a competitive niche in an otherwise saturated nail polish market.
Our flagship product offers a “DIY One-Step Gel Polish Application” that does not require a base coat or top coat,
cures in 45 or 60 seconds with one of our LED lamps, and lasts up to 14 days, depending on your nail type.
Our European-made Gel Polishes are:
Solvent-free
Lead-free
Latex-free
Non-toxic
Vegan-friendly
Gluten-free
Not tested on animals and do not contain animal by-products.
5-FREE – NO Formaldehyde, NO Dibutyl phthalate, NO Toluene, NO Formaldehyde resin, NO Camphor
We offer a large selection of gorgeous colors to choose from and an easy removal system that is non-damaging to
your natural nails, allowing for an easy color change as often as you like.
Our Gel Polish is safe to use on children, with proper supervision. Our made to measure accessories were
developed to ensure the proper application and removal processes, when used together with our Gel Polish.
HOW TO APPLY 1. Nails should be smooth; if necessary, use a GelMoment Nail File
2. Buff the nail surface well, including the corners. Only buff, but do not polish or shine.
The objective is to remove any natural oil present at the surface of the nail, as they can inhibit the adhesion of the gel polish.
3. Wipe the nail clean with GelMoment Nail Cleansers. Make sure the nail is clean and dry before applying the
polish.
4. Before applying, gently roll the bottle between the palms of your hands. Heavy shaking can produce air bubbles.
13
5. Apply a Gel Polish color of your choice. Be careful not to get any polish on your skin or cuticles, as this can cause the polish to peel easily. For best results, apply the Gel Polish over your nail tips too.
6. Cure under a GelMoment LED Lamp, until the lamp switches off automatically. If you are using Matter’R Effect Top Coat, after the above steps, apply a thin coat over any color and cure using one of GelMoment’s LED Lamps.
EXTRA APPLICATION TIPS, TO KEEP YOUR MANICURE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL:
When applying our Gel Polish, start with one thin coat. Thick coats will not cure properly. They will be
wet underneath the surface, causing bubbles or peeling.
One coat is usually enough. For more than one coat, cure in-between coats with one of our LED Lamps.
Avoid getting the Gel Polish on the cuticles; it can cause the Gel Polish to peel.
Apply the Gel Polish over the nail tips as well, to help seal and “cap” the nail tips.
Cure one or two fingers at a time when using the 2-Finger LED Lamp, for proper light distribution.
Use our Professional 4-Finger LED Lamp to cure up to 4 nails at once. This LED Lamp is meant for professional use. Polish that is not placed under the LED Lamps quickly after the application can start receding due to the exposure to natural light, table lamps etc.
IMPORTANT: GelMoment Gel polish is light sensitive and will harden quickly if exposed to natural light or used outdoors. Do not leave the bottle open and ensure it does not come in contact with the LED Lamp. For outdoor event, use a tent with UV protective material and ensure the tent has 3 sides covered.
HOW TO REMOVE To remove the Gel Polish, simply use GelMoment Remover Pads.
1. Tear across the dotted line and place your nail inside the pouch, underneath the moist pad.
2. Remove the protective plastic strip on the outer side of the pouch to reveal the sticky tape below. This
facilitates the ability to tightly wrap the pouch around the nail.
3. Leave inside between 5-10 minutes (depending on your nail type) and remove.
4. Use the GelMoment Cuticle Pusher to eliminate remaining residue.
For best results, use in conjunction with our GelMoment Remover Clips; an accessory that enhances the removal
process.
HOW TO VIDEOS Please view our “How to” videos on the GelMoment website to see how simple the application and removal
process really is. Invite your customers soon after they have made a purchase, to view the application and removal
videos on your website.

SECTION 3 - YOUR GELMOMENT BUSINESS & YOU
BEING SUCCESSFUL WITH YOUR GELMOMENT BUSINESS As an Independent Distributor, you have the liberty of controlling and determining your own success. We will
provide you with the necessary tools to get you started and offer you continuous training, but the rest is up to you.
Your GelMoment business offers you an amazing potential for personal development, financial security and the
freedom to manage your own work schedule, while throwing Parties and having fun! Success is no accident, but
the result of consistent activity and dedication over time. “Doing things right” will ensure success.
PROFILE OF A SUCCESSFUL GELMOMENT ENTREPRENEUR
Is EXCITED and PASSIONATE about the GelMoment experience and Business Opportunity
Show passion for your business and why you love GelMoment
Be an Ambassador for GelMoment, after all you are a Distributor and you want your customers to know
how proud you are!
Never show negativity towards GelMoment to your customers or in public as you are just hurting your own
business. All issues can be resolved, just contact our support team at: [email protected].
Enthusiastically shares the GelMoment Business Opportunity with others
Let your enthusiasm be contagious; let them feel your excitement when you talk about your business and
the products you are selling.
Share your “Why”. People need to relate to you to feel your enthusiasm.
Know what you are talking about. Be prepared for questions and if you don’t know the answers, promise to
get back to them, but keep that promise!
Share it like you mean it! Do it in the same way you would brag about your kids
Take the Business seriously. It’s lots of fun, but it’s still a business!
It’s great making friends and spending time browsing Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms
to get updates, but are you being productive? Can you say that you have accomplished something that
contributes to the growth of your business for having spent that hour or more online each day?
That adage that time is money is relevant here because you are starting up and need to get organized
properly and spread the word to anyone who will listen. You are now selling a fabulous product and you
have an amazing Business Opportunity to offer.
You are in FULL control at this point. You really “do” decide how to spend your time, so make it count!
18
Be an effective “Boss” for yourself. Ask yourself, “Would I hire me?”
This is one of the toughest things to do: evaluate ourselves objectively.
Try to make an appointment with yourself and do an evaluation once a month, like an after-action plan.
Have you been productive?
Can you change something that would make you more effective and more productive?
Are you putting in the effort that your business needs and deserves?
Sometimes it’s tough being honest with ourselves, but it’s necessary and could be the difference between
success and failure. Nobody else will do this for you; it’s you all the way!
Schedules their work hours and works as if they were going to a real job
Whether it’s one hour a day or 5 hours a day, the choice is yours; you just have to show up for work!
You are responsible for your productivity. It is best to plan your days in advance to ensure effectiveness.
Take some time on Sunday evening or whenever is convenient for you and make yourself a wish list. Write
down the task you want to accomplish the coming week that will help you grow your business. If you are a
beginner to the business, get those things done as quickly as possible.
Perhaps you need to order Business Cards, open a Facebook page, make a list of absolutely everyone you
know, so that you can start calling upon people to tell them about your new business.
The important thing is scheduling your time, no matter how little you have for now. Show up consistently
and be productive. Accomplish something, no matter how small, every single day that you have scheduled
yourself to work. Baby steps are better than no steps!
Books at least 6 GelMoment Parties each month
Starting a business may seem overwhelming at first, but you can strive to be more successful.
Your 100 List of people you know, is a great place to start and will be very useful for booking Parties.
Make it your policy that you will reward a Hostess, when her Guests book a future Party.
Book early and fill up your calendar, as soon as you begin your Business.
Offer future Hostesses some free gifts. Whatever you decide to give away is a tax deduction and investment
into your business.
19
Coaches Hostesses to secure at least 15 Guests per Party
Show your Hostesses the products beforehand, so that she will be excited about them and want to invite as
many friends as possible, to increase her chances of getting her products for free. Also, offer her a free
manicure as part of her Hostess gift, if that is something that you do. If not, lend her the products, so that
she can do her own nails for the Party.
Explain to your Hostess how the Hostess Rewards Program is based on sales and she will want to invite
more people to attend. You are encouraged to add extra gifts, if your Hostess does a great job!
Give her a surprise gift, when possible, but present it to her in front of her Guests.
Prepare a nice, little goody bag for each Guest which contains a mini-file, a toe separator, instructions on
how to apply the Gel Polish, your Business Card and a raffle form to fill out for a FREE Gel Polish (or prize of
your choice) to be won at the end of the Party.
Consider adding a theme to the Party, to make it more fun. Something like a 60’s night where everyone can
dress up accordingly could just be what you need to bring the fun to the Party.
Hold a Fundraiser for your Hostess’ favorite cause.
The idea is to make the Party more interesting so more people will want to attend.
Books at least one GelMoment Party at every home Party
Keeping Party Guests engaged is a good way to keep the Party going. Your Guests will want to have a Party
for a chance to earn free products. If they had a fun and memorable experience at your Party, they are
more likely to book with you and you need this to help fill up your Party calendar.
Try a game to help you get future bookings. Here is a sample game:
a) Get a deck of playing cards and keep them with you during the Party. The goal is to give out the whole
deck of cards to Guests who answer questions.
b) Ask each person to introduce themselves. They must say how they met or know the Hostess, which
gives you the opportunity to distribute at least one card to each Guest.
c) Ask everyone if they have ever heard of GelMoment. Give two cards to those who answer that they
have, and one to those who haven’t.
d) Ask if anyone wants to hold a GelMoment Party within thirty days, and give them five cards if they pick
a date on the spot.
e) Continue asking questions until the entire deck is distributed.
f) Call out a random card and whoever has it, wins a prize.
These types of activities go a long way in making your Party a success and you will surely get bookings for
future Parties.
20
Recruits 1-2 new GelMoment Distributors each month by sharing the GelMoment Business Opportunity
Residual income is going to be the bulk of your income if you build a successful team.
You still need to be active and make your own personal sales, but your team is going to make your earnings
grow to a whole new level.
Recruit people who you believe have what it takes and the motivation to make their business successful.
You need to mentor and train your recruits, because their success ensures your success.
Be confident and inspiring when you share and promote the GelMoment Business Opportunity. Here is
where your “WHY” becomes one of your biggest selling tools.
Offers coaching and training to her new recruits
Do what you can to make your new recruits feel welcome when they join. Congratulate them for joining
your Facebook group, if you have one. (You should have one if you have at least 1 team member, so she
can start adding her team members as well.)
Keep in touch at least once a week to see how they are doing with their Business and to see if they need
any assistance for the first month. After that, bi-weekly or monthly follow-ups are great.
Make sure that they have the same tools that you have at your disposal, such as the GelMoment Training
Manual and the membership to all the Corporate Facebook groups.
Encourage them to have social media accounts; it is a great way to reach a lot of people at no cost.
Try a one-on-one coaching call once a week to answer their questions. Clarifying things early will avoid the
spread of incorrect information that could lead to lost sales or negatively influencing a potential recruit
from joining.
Remember that this person chose you as a Sponsor, so give them your attention to help them get started.
Sets goals to earn company set incentives and promotions
No matter how difficult, try your absolute best to enter company or team sales spiffs or promotions. It
promotes healthy competition and it also gives you some good bargains in the process.
If you cannot participate in one of your company incentives, promote it to your team members.
Monitor your back-office to see your monthly progress, so you never miss out on being promoted to the
next rank. Sometimes, just a few sales are missing, so plan your Parties early in the month as much as
possible and have a plan B for those months that need an extra push to make it to your goals.
Give praise and encouragement to your team members when they accomplish their goals and when they
advance to the next rank or hit a new milestone.
21
Attends group meetings with their up-line
Not every upline has team meetings unfortunately, but if they do, make it one of your top priorities to
attend.
If group meetings in person are not possible due to Distributors residing in different locations, ask them to
host a conference call or team events on social media, so it can be accessible to everyone.
You should do the same for your own team. It’s effective for team building and helping your teams grow
their businesses. Remember, their success is also your success!
Adheres to GelMoment’s Independent Distributor’s Policies
Like every other Direct Sales company, GelMoment has Policies and Procedures that are necessary and
must be followed.
It’s not always clear to a Distributor why a specific policy is implemented by the company but policies are
necessary to protect the integrity of each Distributor as well as GelMoment and most often are required by
law.
Read them from time to time for any updates or changes and encourage your team members to do the
same.
Adhering to the policies is good business practice, while ensuring fairness for everyone.
Attends GelMoment’s Annual Convention
One of the best investments you can make for your business is to attend your company’s annual
convention or on-the-road training opportunities.
You will gain valuable information through workshops and the motivational speakers will help enhance your
business perception, all while receiving beautiful gifts in the process.
Be one of the first to see what’s coming and what plans GelMoment has for your future!
Encourage your team members to attend. This is a great opportunity for teams to get together if they live
in different cities. Arrange activities with your team members when possible, that you can do before or
after the convention or gathering.

“WHAT DO YOU DO?”
If your answer to this question is, “I sell GelMoment products,” you are only sharing a small portion of what you
have to offer and missing opportunities. Your answer should be: “I offer three services! I have amazing GelMoment
products for you to purchase, free products for Hostesses and a life-changing Business Opportunity for
entrepreneurs that are interested in a ground floor opportunity with a low start-up cost.”
Your role as a GelMoment Distributor is to offer your services and let the person decide if it is something that
interests them. Your role is NOT to decide who will be interested in the services you have to offer.
Home Parties are the best place to meet new Prospects that will be interested in your services. With our Party
model, it’s easy. We suggest you charge a fee for your Guests to use your products to do their nails. If they
purchase, you deduct that fee from their purchase. Either way, you’ll make money! $10 usually works well.
GETTING ORGANIZED Everyone is busy. Whether it’s your job, your children or if you are caring for an elderly parent, every minute
counts when you are running a business. Managing time and organizing tasks can be challenging, so here are some
tips on how to make the most of your time.
Block time for your business. Decide on the hours you want to work your GelMoment business and “report to
work” just as you would for any job.
Manage your time. Take advantage of small pockets of time during the day when you are suddenly free to make
phone calls, follow-ups or to book your Parties. Make phone calls while you are waiting for an appointment in the
waiting room at the doctor’s office etc. A few minutes here and there can really make a difference in accomplishing
your goals over time.
Commit to making FIVE Business contacts EVERY day! Five contacts a day = 25 contacts every week = 100 contacts
every month = a growing business, guaranteed!
Create a work space. Having a designated work space, whether simple or sophisticated, saves lots of time.
Organize your paperwork. Creating an efficient and organized workspace saves you time and makes it easy to track
customer orders, profiles and keep track of promotions, sales, earnings and expenses.
Business Materials. Always have business cards readily available to hand out to your customers and prospects.
Record a professional message on your answering machine. Prospects and customers will appreciate your
professionalism when getting in touch with you or sending a referral your way.
Be consistent. Be consistent in offering the GelMoment Business Opportunity to everyone you meet and
showcasing the products as well. Your customer base will increase along with your team and your sales volume.
Be patient. Build relationships and over time those relationships will turn into loyal customers, Party Hostesses and
new team members.
Believe! Believe in your products, the company, your business and most importantly, yourself!

BEST PRACTICES FOR GELMOMENT DISTRIBUTORS “Best Practices” is a term used in every profession to describe the various techniques that work best in each
situation. In Direct Sales, these “Best Practices” listed below will allow you to offer professional customer service to
your target audience.
Best Practices When Recruiting
Offer the GelMoment Business Opportunity without prejudging.
Understand your Prospect’s needs by asking qualifying open-ended questions.
If someone asks you about the GelMoment Business Opportunity, ask them who introduced it to them and respect
the Sponsor/Recruit relationship.
Meeting a Prospect or offering information to a Prospect does not give you ownership of that person. Every
Prospect has the right to choose the Sponsor of their choice.
Keep your word and follow-up with a Prospect when you said you would. If you cannot make the pre-determined
appointment, advise them and reschedule immediately.
Best Practices When Selling GelMoment Products
Know your products and their benefits.
Inform your customers of the benefits that GelMoment products have to offer.
Provide your customers with instructions on how to apply and remove the Gel polish.
Keep some inventory on hand to ensure prompt delivery for customers who want products immediately.
Enter your order quickly and don’t keep your customers waiting.
Deliver products when you promised you will.
Offer the Business Opportunity to those who purchase large quantities. They can benefit from purchasing products
at wholesale prices and perhaps starting up a Business too.
Provide excellent customer service by keeping them informed when new products become available.
Wear the products that you sell! No one wants to buy something you don’t use yourself.
Best Practices for Working with Your New Recruits
Be available for your recruits.
Offer training, coaching and mentoring to help them succeed.
If they are local, go with them to their first Party and show them how to host a successful Party.
Model the behavior you want to see in your recruits.
Encourage your new recruits to book at least six Parties in their first month.
Show them a system that can be easily duplicated.
Empower your recruits to feel capable of offering GelMoment products and the Business Opportunity to others
without you.
Speak with your new recruits regularly and offer conference calling or other means of virtual connections.
Offer to help them with their first recruit if they are still new to the business.
Best Practices for Participation
Stay positive and represent the company using the highest standards of customer service.
Offer help to other Distributors, even if they are in different teams.
24
Share Marketing Materials or training documents with others.
Share your success story and empower others to succeed as well.
Stay free from negative people and those not serious about their business.
Attend GelMoment’s Annual Convention.
Best Practices for Leaders
Lead by example and be the Distributor that you would like to sponsor.
Strive to achieve the highest paying rank. Anything less is lost revenue and a poor example for your team.
Keep things simple. Your recruits should be able to duplicate what you are doing and copy your actions.
Be accountable for your actions. If you do not mentor, don’t blame your recruits for being demotivated.
Identify your performers and work with them to form a solid foundation for your team; they deserve your time.
Set priorities and do the most important things first.
Evaluate priorities regularly and make conscious decisions about what to say “Yes” to.
Leaders are people who have acquired self-confidence through their own – skills, beliefs, talents and shortcomings.
Self-confidence develops as one builds on strengths and overcomes weaknesses. Those who become leaders have
taken advantage of the broadest possible range of opportunities and allowed themselves to stretch beyond their
comfort zones. They try, sometimes fail, learn from their mistakes and keep trying. Ultimately leadership
development is a process of self-discovery and practice. Engineers have their computers, accountants have their
calculators and Leaders have themselves; they are their own instrument.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A LEADER: A Leader’s WHY propels her to action.
Leaders are relationship builders.
Leaders work together with their recruits to help them succeed.
Leaders are well informed about company incentives and use them to inspire action.
Leaders prospect all the time to fuel business growth.
Leaders are flexible and adapt to business dynamic changes.
Leaders lead by example with a positive attitude.
Leaders does not tolerated negativity in team pages.
Leaders are enthusiastic and share that enthusiasm with everyone!
Successful leaders realize that Distributors join for different reasons. Some are looking for full time employment,
and others are just looking for something to do in their spare time, with little commitment. Because not everyone
sticks to the business forever, successful leaders consistently prospect new Distributors for long-term success.
BEHAVIORAL PROFILE OF A LEADER
Goal Oriented, Competitive, Determined, Self-Reliant, Decisive, Confident, Enthusiastic, Outgoing, Makes friends
easily, Supportive, Dependable, Works well under pressure, A listener, Organized, Conscientious, A planner, Time-
disciplined, Diplomatic, Finds creative solutions.

SECTION 4 - EVERYTHING ON PROSPECTING
WHAT IS PROSPECTING? Prospecting is seeking out those who are interested in what you have to offer.
You have something valuable to offer. Your job is to seek out those that will say “YES” to one or more of the three
services you have to offer.
1. Fabulous and unique GelMoment products to purchase.
2. Free products for your Hostesses.
3. A life-changing Business Opportunity for your future team members. Listening and conversational skills are one of your most important prospecting tools. Active listening and asking open-ended questions will enable you to match your Prospect’s needs to the benefits that being a GelMoment Distributor brings.
WHO ARE YOUR PROSPECTS? Everyone! Take a fresh look at everyone in your “Who do you know” list. Don’t prejudge and decide for someone
else what you think is right for them. Offer the benefits of the GelMoment Business Opportunity to everyone and
let them make the final decision; you may be surprised at who shows interest and who does not.
People you haven’t even met yet are everywhere and could be your potential next recruit. Become a pro at starting
conversations. Don’t necessarily go out with the intention to recruit. Just smile at people you meet. Once you
begin to build rapport with someone, they will be interested in what you do and will ask you for more information.
Take this opportunity to tell them about GelMoment and the benefits it has brought to you, instead of trying to sell
them something.
Your Hostesses are people you should target for joining. After all, they liked you and the products enough to invite
you into their homes. You should also target Guests who had a lot of fun at your Parties; they already enjoy this
type of environment.
Your Prospects are basically everyone you meet that would be interested in purchasing what you have to offer,
hosting a Party, exploring the Business Opportunity, or referring you to someone they know that would be
interested in your services. Here are some ideas and tips to help you get started.
People You Know
The first step in finding your Prospects is by filling out the “100 People to Kick off Your Business” form. If you are
feeling nervous about calling anyone you put down on this list, remember the excitement you felt the first time you
tried our GelMoment Gel polish. Don’t wait until you feel like an expert, and more importantly, don’t prejudge how
you think your Prospects will react, let them surprise you. Stretch your comfort zone and let your enthusiasm and
excitement for your new business lead the way.
Book at least one Party from each “social circle” you identified in your 100 list. By booking into different social
circles, you will expand your business to people you haven’t even met yet.
27
If you are worried about people saying “No”, get used to it, it will happen a lot. If you are not hearing “No”
ENOUGH, it means you haven’t asked ENOUGH people. Remember that “No” does not mean “Never”. If they tell
you that now is not the right time for them, simply add their names to your follow-up list and follow up later.
Typically, most people are skeptical and require some proof of success before committing to something new. These
people will be watching you and when they see that you are successful with your GelMoment Business, they will be
interested in your services. Prioritizing your list and managing your time well, will play a huge part in your success.
This Training Manual will show you different ways to do so, but applying the methods becomes your responsibility.
Remember, you are responsible for your own success or lack of it.
People You Will Meet
The best Prospects for your business are the people you haven’t met yet. Smile at everyone you meet, open a
conversation by paying a compliment about their nails. This is a great way to make new contacts, without pressure
of having to book a Party every time. Begin by creating rapport with people and building relationships. If you make
a connection, don’t forget to exchange contact information, you will need it for the follow-up.
People at Your Home Parties
Parties most often are the best place to meet new people to add to your follow up list. Your Hostess will invite
Guests from their “social circle” and those who were interested enough to say “Yes.” They said yes because they
are interested in learning more about your products and/or just like to get together with friends. Don’t prejudge
anyone you meet at a Party; offer everyone the opportunity to say “YES” to one of the three services you have to
offer. This approach widens your chance of booking future Parties and recruiting Prospects.
Referrals
Everyone knows someone who will be interested in what you have to offer, you just have to ask them! Asking for
referrals is a great habit to create; it will give you access to other people’s “social circles”.
Write down 10 places you go where you could start conversations.
1. _____________________________________________________
2. _____________________________________________________
3. _____________________________________________________
4. _____________________________________________________
5. _____________________________________________________
6. _____________________________________________________
7. _____________________________________________________
8. _____________________________________________________
9. _____________________________________________________
10. ____________________________________________________
28
CONVERSATION STARTER TIPS Compliment others, it goes a long way! Say something like “You have such beautiful nails, what products do you
use?” “GelMoment has fabulous and inexpensive nail products, have you ever heard of GelMoment? “This will give
you a chance to open a conversation with your Prospect. Make sure to take down their contact information for
your follow-up!
Keep a monthly log of all the follow-ups you do. Keep track of the results from your follow-up calls and what you
need to do next. When a Prospect says, “Call me later,” ask them when it would be convenient for you to call, so
that they will expect to hear from you, and you will look professional for having listened and respected their
request. By adding people to your Prospect list by the date they request a follow-up call, when the next month
comes along, you will already have a list of contacts waiting to hear from you. Create trust and loyalty by following
up when you said you would.
Watch for “Green Flags”!
A green flag is a “Yes, I am interested” signal. It is a verbal or non-verbal cue that a person is interested in receiving
more information on what you have to offer. Pay attention to the negative “Red Flags” as well and challenge
yourself to overturn those to a positive. “I could NEVER do what you do” could just be a misconception where
someone is under the impression that a huge investment is involved after viewing your setup. Pay attention to the
quiet observers or those just interested in looking through your catalog and not trying the products. They may just
need more information before getting involved.
KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR PROSPECTS Having an organized method of keeping track of Prospects is an important part of your future success. Whether
you choose a sophisticated, high-tech system on your computer or a low-tech (notebook, binder or an index
system), the point is that it is imperative to keep one. Decide on which method best suits you and be sure to
include the following:
Full name, phone number, email address.
Ask them when is the best time for you to call.
When and where you met.
Brief notes about the contact; color preference, things they told you about work, family etc.
Follow- up date.
Keeping Track for Future Growth
Today’s Prospects are tomorrow’s business, so therefore it is imperative to keep track and follow-up all the time,
without exception. The contacts you make and relationships you build now will become the customers, Party
Hostesses and business partners in your future.
If you do an event and do not follow-up with all the contacts you collected, then you wasted your time. For best
results, follow-ups must be done within 3 days following a Party or event, unless the person gave you a specific
time to contact them.
29
100 PEOPLE TO HELP YOU KICK OFF YOUR BUSINESS It may seem overwhelming at first, but with the right tools, it’s simple. Fill out this list and see where it takes you.
You will find people here that you haven’t even thought of asking to help you get started. There may be people
whom you may not have seen in a while and this would be the perfect opportunity to connect and catch up with
them. Now you have filled out the list and are probably thinking “Now what?” Now you get started! Get on the
phone or on your computer and reach out to them. Not sure what to say? Invite them to your FB group if they
aren’t already part of it. This is a great way to introduce them to your new business. They will see the interaction in
your group, want to get involved and try the products! Encourage your customers to post pictures and write about
how they love the product. Important: Invite EVERYONE, do not pre-judge, you might be surprised!
Relatives People you do business with (bank, salon, etc.)
Friends People you have invited to a home party
Co-Workers Spouses’ Co-workers or their spouses
Neighbors Previous-Co-workers

31
BEGIN PROSPECTING Now you know who to Prospect, where to find them and what to do, so get started right away. Everyone has the
most valuable tool required to start the process, it’s a phone! Your phone is a time-saving tool that enables instant
contact with people, whether they live next door or miles away. Here are some proactive tips on how to use your
phone to help you build your business.
Prospect Customers, Party Hostesses and Future Business Partners.
Schedule Parties.
Schedule Follow-Up appointments and meetings.
Sell products and collect orders.
Make your follow-up customer care calls.
Coach your new team members.
And much more….
The first calls may seem difficult, but you will soon get comfortable with what to say and how to say it. By doing the
“21 Days of Prospecting” challenge, you will gain a great deal of experience quickly. Here are a few tips for getting
to that comfort zone while making your calls:
Smile while speaking on the phone, your smile will come through in your voice.
Have your notes handy and use them. Your attention to the person’s details and preferences will go a long way.
Have your schedule ready for booking your next call if a second follow-up is necessary.
Be respectful. Introduce yourself and ask “Do you have a moment to speak?” or “Is now a good time?”
Remind them that they agreed to the follow-up, “I had a note to call you today…”
Create a sense of urgency, whether your calendar is full or empty. “I still have a few dates open for Parties and I
thought of you!” Offer the closest dates you have available first to avoid having an empty week. “I have _____ and
_____ available. Will either of those dates work for you?”
Call when you promised you would and keep track in your Prospect Follow-Up Log.
32
21 DAYS OF PROSPECTING
Follow this 21-day Prospecting Plan for Success and prospecting will easily become second nature for you.
Make at least five contacts a day for 21 days. You will talk to more than 100 people in just 21 days! You can

After 21 days, you will be an excellent prospector, start earning income and meet others who are interested in
joining your team and your business. You will advance quickly through the ranks and earn rewards and recognition

PROSPECTING THROUGH ADVERTISING Thomas Smith, a successful London businessman, wrote a guide called Successful Advertising in 1885. His
recommendations regarding advertising frequency are still being cited today.
The first-time people look at any given ad, they don't even see it.
The second time, they don't notice it.
The third time, they are aware that it is there.
The fourth time, they have a fleeting sense that they've seen it somewhere before.
The fifth time, they actually read the ad.
The sixth time they thumb their nose at it.
The seventh time, they start to get a little irritated with it.
The eighth time, they start to think, "Here's that confounded ad again."
The ninth time, they start to wonder if they're missing out on something.
The tenth time, they ask their friends and neighbors if they've tried it.
The eleventh time, they wonder how the company is paying for all these ads.
The twelfth time, they start to think that it must be a good product.
The thirteenth time, they start to feel the product has value.
The fourteenth time, they start to remember wanting a product exactly like this for a long time.
The fifteenth time, they start to yearn for it because they can't afford to buy it.
The sixteenth time, they accept the fact that they will buy it sometime in the future.
The seventeenth time, they make a note to buy the product.
The eighteenth time, they curse their poverty for not allowing them to buy this terrific product.
The nineteenth time, they count their money very carefully.
The twentieth-time prospects see the ad, they buy what is offering.
Don’t give up if you feel like your posts are going unnoticed!

SECTION 5 - RECRUITING AND BUILDING A TEAM
THE BENEFITS OF A STRONG TEAM If you truly love what you are doing, then why not share the love with everyone you meet! Recruiting is the way to
build a team and increase your earnings through residual income and other generous bonuses that GelMoment’s
Compensation Plan has to offer.
In Direct Sales, residual income is the bulk of your earnings. The key to earning residual income and financial
success is by building a strong team. It’s ultimately the foundation of a successful business.
When you begin your business in Direct Sales, you should focus on booking Parties. These Parties will bring you
sales and expand your customer list which in turn will grow your business and get people talking to each other
people about the product. Product exposure is imperative at the launch of a new company. The success of the
company’s future and yours depends on it. As you speak to people about your business and they start joining your
team, you will need to train them to do the same thing that you are doing. If the chain is broken down the line and
people don’t have anyone to turn to for training, coaching, motivation and support, they will get discouraged and
drop out.
Not everyone has experience in Network Marketing and Direct Sales, so here are a few tips that will help you get
started. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results in the first week or even the first month, sometimes it could
take some time to take off. The only thing that is for sure is that you must work hard if you want to see big results
but once you get a momentum going, the sky is the limit!

BUILDING A TEAM #1 Knowing and Understanding your Target Market
Although the products are amazing and you love them, starting up a business is not for every single person you
know or meet. It’s okay to offer it to everyone, but don’t get disappointed with all the “No’s” you will get, that’s
part of the game. To start off, you should target people that are looking for extra income, people wanting to work
from home and people that would be interested in your company. Find THOSE people and start marketing Direct
Sales information to them first. They are probably the most likely to be interested in what you have to offer. Once
you have a decent amount of people that have joined your team, it’s easier to sell the idea to the rest because now
you will have numbers to show them. This does not mean that you cannot offer the opportunity to your customers,
it just means that when you are looking for recruits, look in the right places to get your business going strong as
quickly as possible.
#2 Time Management
Don’t spend all your time with a single potential recruit. It is important to build relationships with people and to be
available for questions and coaching; you should not spend all your time focusing on getting one person to join your
team. If they need that much convincing, they will not stick with the business and you probably missed out on a
bunch of other people that were interested.
#3 Keeping it Simple
If you make it too complicated, people will walk away feeling like they cannot do what you are doing and decide not
to join, so keep it simple. Give them the information that they need to get started but do not overwhelm them.
Create a webpage or group on social media where up-to-date information is easily accessible. They can come to you
for additional inquiries.
#4 Have the Right Goals in Mind
Building a successful team will benefit you, but simply finding people to plug in holes so you can move up to the
next level will most certainly end up in failure and disappointment for you, as well as for them. That mindset
means that you are only focused on recruiting and not on training. You don’t want your opportunity presentation
to sound just like another sales pitch. Instead of focusing on what your potential recruits will do for you, focus on
how the business can change THEIR lives and you might get a more positive response. Recruiting for the simple
reason of filling spots will results in just as many empty spots down the line when they quit or become inactive. Go
after the people that want it as much as you want it.
#5 Building Relationships
Don’t forget that your potential recruits are people and not numbers or dollar signs. Get to know who they are and
what their goals are. Find out if they have children, if they work, if they enjoy what they are doing or if they are
looking for something new to do. Find out if the idea of working from home and making their own hours interests
them. If you need help in determining how to get them to their goals, ask your upline for help. You don’t have to
necessarily offer the opportunity the first time you meet someone. Once a relationship is established, people will
want to know what you are doing and how they can be a part of it.

SECTION 6 - THE GELMOMENT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
WHAT DOES THE GELMOMENT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY HAVE TO OFFER? The GelMoment Business opportunity allows you to run your own business and pursue your own income. You can
set your own hours, work completely at home or on the road; the choice is yours. You manage your own schedule
and you are your own boss. The earning potential is determined by you and the amount of time that you dedicate
to your business. GelMoment does not automatically auto-ship products to you at any time, so you will never be
stuck with tones of inventory. GelMoment does not force you to purchase products every month; you are only
required to spend $2001 of Retail products every rolling 3 months to maintain your account! If you are actively
working at your business, this minimum is easily achieved. When you enroll as a GelMoment Distributor, you will
receive a package containing an assortment of products and Marketing Materials that will help you begin your
business! This is all of course in addition to the amazing products that you will represent as a GelMoment
Distributor.
WHY SHARE THE GELMOMENT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
There are many reasons to share the GelMoment Business Opportunity with others. The best reason is that
everyone deserves the opportunity to be part of something unique, amazing and empowering. Make it your job to
tell everyone about it. When you recruit someone, you are sharing a Business Opportunity with them and making
new friendships, building relationships and introducing them to the financial rewards that come with being a
GelMoment Distributor.
Lots of people would love to have a home-based business like yours. They are just waiting for someone like you to
tell them about it! Everyone deserves the opportunity to make their own decisions on whether the business is right
for them, so offer it to everyone and let them decide.
HOW TO PRESENT THE GELMOMENT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
There is no specific way to approach someone when presenting the GelMoment Business Opportunity. You must
find a method that works best for you and figure out what you are comfortable saying when you speak to someone.
Here are some approaches that you can try:
The Direct Approach: Key Phrase “Thinking of you”
“Hi! I recently started a new business. I absolutely love it and I thought of you. I think that it would be amazing if
we worked together since we get along so well. When can we get together so I can tell you all about it?”
The Opinion Approach: Key Phrase “I value your opinion”
I really value your opinion and I would love it if I can run something by you. I recently started my own business and
I would like to tell you about it and find out what you think. Can we get together so I can tell you about it?
The Third-Party Approach: Key Phrase “Who do you know?”
“I have recently started a new business and I was wondering if you could help me. Who do you know that has
mentioned being interested in starting their own home-based business or likes having Parties?”
1 $200 of Retail Personal Sales Volume for Distributors in Canada and the USA. The amount required is $220 for Australia, and £180 for the UK.
41
Approaching your “Warmest Market.” Key Phrase: “Can I practice on you?”
“I need your help. I am building my new business and I know that you care about my success. I really need to
perfect my presentation and would love it if I could practice it on you. When can we meet up?”
Whatever approach you choose, remember to be excited about what you are doing. Nothing beats genuine
enthusiasm for drawing Prospects to you.
TELL EVERYONE ABOUT YOUR “WHY”
Why you decided to join.
Why your life is better since you became a GelMoment Distributor.
Why you recommend GelMoment products and the Business Opportunity to others.
Your accomplishments since you joined.
SIGNS THAT SOMEONE IS INTERESTED People are interested in your business. Learn to recognize the signs and respond to them. Here are some questions
that people who are interested may ask you:
“How many Parties do you have every week?”
“How did you get involved in this business?”
“Did you invest a lot of money to buy all your products?”
“I could never sell anything”
“Do you actually make a lot of money doing this?”
“How easy is it to book Parties?”
“How many Distributors are in your area?”
“How long have you been doing this?”
“Is this your fulltime job?”
The goal is to pick up on these hints and react, provide information and make an appointment to follow-up as soon
as possible. Here are some things you could say:
“I heard you mention ______. I really think that you might enjoy doing this, it’s fantastic and I would love to tell
you more about it. If I give you some information, would you be interested in looking at it?”
BE PREPARED TO RESPOND
“Yes, I will look at it.”
“Great! I am sure you will have questions, so let’s schedule a time to meet. What works best for you?”
“It looks like fun (Yes), but I am too busy (No).”
“Lots of successful GelMoment Distributors felt exactly the same way as you until they considered it. There is no
obligation, just have a look to see if this is something that can fit into your life. You deserve to make an informed
decision, so would it be ok if I gave you a call to see if you have any questions?”
“No, thank you.”
“That’s too bad! I would really enjoy working with you! No, like Never? Or should we talk another time?” Accept a
firm ‘No’ graciously. “I appreciate your honesty and I hope that I can serve you as a loyal Customer or Party Hostess
in the future.”

If someone agrees to receive more information, make sure that you do your follow-up when you said you would.
When offering the GelMoment Business Opportunity, ask open-ended questions. This will help you uncover the
Prospect’s needs and concerns. A question like “would you like to join my team?” evokes a one word answer. An
open-ended question encourages them to talk about how GelMoment could fill a need they have. Ask something
like: “What is it about being a GelMoment Distributor that interests you?”
Presenting the GelMoment Business Opportunity should be done as an interview process. By asking the right
questions, you may help your Prospect recognize their own needs and wants. Expressing understanding towards
those needs and wants will make it much easier for your Prospects to make a quicker decision.
By asking the right questions, you can offer the part of the Business Opportunity that will meet their needs. Say
something like: “May I ask you a few questions? I would like to know more about you so I can see if this Business
Opportunity would be right for you.”
Here are some questions you can ask to find out more about their situation:
FAMILY:
Do you have children? How many children do you have? How old are they? What part of town do you live in? How
do you like your area? Are there any plans to move in the near future?
OCCUPATION:
Do you own your own business? Do you work from home? What do you like about your job? Do you have a flexible
work schedule? Do you get along with your boss? How long have you worked there? Have you ever been a rep for
any Direct Sales companies before?
RECREATION:
How do you spend your free time? Do you get together with friends often? Do you like traveling? Do you like doing
your nails?
MOTIVATION
Are there any plans for travel in your future? Any weddings or big events coming up? Have you been putting off
anything because you are trying to save up the money?
LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING
Be sure to listen to their needs. If someone says “I have to think about it.” Try saying, “I am curious. What is
holding your back?” Often the concern is minor and you can address it. With time and practice, you will get used
to handling all situations and closing the deal, but this takes time. Work closely with your sponsor and team
members. Exchange ideas on how each of you tackle situations and adopt the method that works best for you.
“NO” IS OFTEN JUST A NEED TO “KNOW” MORE
Concerns, hesitations and objections are normal. Remember when you first heard about the opportunity and how
you reacted. People don’t express concerns unless they are actually giving the idea some consideration.
43
RESPONDING TO CONCERNS, HESITATIONS & OBJECTIONS
CONCERN
QUESTION (to uncover the real concern)
Listen Attentively (to acknowledge the concern)
Answer (with clarity)
Decision (agree on a path of action)
“I don’t have money to spend right now”
“Are you worried about the startup cost?”
“People worry about making back their investment quickly enough to justify finding the money to start.”
“GelMoment has you covered with an affordable Enrollment Package, which contains products that you can sell for a profit!”
“I can help you make a plan to recoup your initial investment. Does that ease your mind?”
“I want to think about it and speak to my husband first”
“Do you think your spouse will have questions I can help answer?”
“I understand you being cautious. Once you begin to earn commissions, you will be happy you jumped onboard!”
“You won’t know unless you try. The Enrollment Package is a great value, so it’s really worth a try.”
“I will be there to guide you through your first steps and you can reach me if you ever need help afterwards.” “Shall we sign you up?”
“I don’t think I will be able to book lots of Parties.”
“It sounds like you think you won’t be successful with this business, is that right?”
“That’s a very common feeling for most people who join.”
“It’s a simple process to approach people and ask for a Party booking. I will give you lots of tips on how to go about it.”
“If I work with you on booking your first Party, is it something that you think you would enjoy doing?” “Do you want to give it a try?”
“I have no sales experience.”
“Do you think the Guests at the Party you attended were excited to purchase GelMoment products?”
“That’s the beauty of GelMoment Parties! Hostesses invite their friends for a fun night out.”
“You share products that every woman wants and you reward your Hostess with gifts.”
“Does that sound like something you could do?” “Would you like to give it a try?”
“I am too busy”
“If you could find the time, is this something that you would enjoy doing?”
“I know exactly how you feel. My days were packed when I started this business and I had the same concern.”
“My sponsor helped me look at my calendar and I discovered that I could fit in 1-2 Parties a week. That was enough time to start a business.”
“Does knowing that you can start your own business with just a few hours a week make you feel more comfortable with the time commitment?” “Would you like to give it a try?”
44
THE SUCCESS OF ANY BUSINESS IS IN THE FOLLOW-UP We all pull back for fear of being too “pushy” at times, so most of us give up before our Prospect is ready to say,
“YES!” The National Sales and Executive Association quote amazing statistics on Prospects who eventually say “Yes”
to a product or a service.
These statistics can be applied to your Prospects:
2% close on the first exposure
3% close on the second exposure
5% close on the third exposure
10% close on the fourth exposure
80% close on the fifth through twelfth exposure!
It’s important to remember that your Prospect may have had several “exposures” before they met you. Perhaps
now is the time that they are ready to say, “Yes!”

SECTION 8 - GELMOMENT PARTIES
YOUR GUIDE TO A SUCCESSFUL GELMOMENT PARTY EVERY TIME! As a GelMoment Distributor, you are offering a one-of-a-kind product that every woman wants and an amazing
Business Opportunity for any entrepreneur. Be confident about your product, your company and your Business
Opportunity. As a GelMoment Distributor, your confidence will surely get you off to a successful start.
Opportunities to share your GelMoment business are endless. Did you know that most of your prospects are
people that you have never even met yet? You will meet lots of people at your GelMoment Parties that will
become your next Hostess and loyal customers. When you’re out and about and you spot someone with nice nails,
tell her! A compliment goes a long way! Try something like this: “I love your nail design! Where did you get it
done? My company has a fabulous nail product that is unique on the market. Have you heard of GelMoment?
This will give you a chance to start up a conversation. Make sure you take down her contact information, so you
can follow-up with her.
Share your products and your Business Opportunity with everyone who attends your Parties. The fact that the
Guests attended the Party shows that they are interested in learning more about the product and/or they enjoy
getting together with girlfriends and having fun. Tell them how they can earn their own free products and give
them your available dates to host a Party. Share the Business Opportunity with them as well. Say something like
this: “I love being a GelMoment Distributor and I think you would be great at it too! Have you ever thought that you
could get paid to Party with your girlfriends and spoil your Hostesses with free nail products?”
Shadow a successful GelMoment Distributor
Tag along with another GelMoment Distributor who is doing well and pick up the tricks of the trade. This is a great
opportunity to see how she does it and what she is doing. Take notes and share these valuable tips with your team
members.
Host Your Own Grand Opening GelMoment Launch Party
Introduce your new business to your family and friends. Ask a friend to help by serving refreshments and taking
care of the children, so you can concentrate on introducing yourself as a GelMoment Distributor and spending time
with your Guests. Share your products and your business with everyone who attends your Parties. Tell them how
they can earn their own free products and give them your available dates to host a Party. Share the opportunity
with them as well. Say something like this: “I love being a GelMoment Distributor and I think you would great at it
too! Have you ever thought of doing something like this? Would you like to work from home and spend more time
with your children?” Remember the obvious, wear your GelMoment products always!
Booking Parties
GelMoment Parties are the perfect way to increase your sales and build your team. You should have already begun
calling people on your “Social Circle” list and scheduled a few GelMoment Parties. Here are some pointers on what
to say. “I have just started my GelMoment Business and it would really mean a lot to me if you could help me by
getting a few friends together to see my products. As you continue booking Parties and filling up your calendar,
don’t forget to ask for referrals, as most people will respond to a sincere request. Say something like, “I am building
my new GelMoment business and would really appreciate your help. I know you have so many friends. Do you
know anyone who loves having gorgeous nails and might be interested in earning some free nail products?” This
works best for those who do not want to host a Party themselves; most friends will not say “No” to two requests in
49
a row! Remind your potential Hostess that there is no obligation for her to purchase products, so she doesn’t feel
pressured. Offer to bring the refreshments and let her know what she can earn by being a Hostess.
WHO TO INVITE? INVITE, INVITE, INVITE!
The more people you invite to your Party, the more fun your Guests will have. A big Guest List means more free
products for the Hostess! Consider all your different social circles when creating your Guest List. Here are a few
ideas to help you get started; Invite your Guests via Facebook, Twitter, email, text and telephone. Create a buzz to
increase your Party attendance. Encourage your Guests to bring a friend and watch your Guest List double!
PRE-PARTY TIPS Get the maximum sales from your Party before it even starts. Give your Guests who cannot attend a chance to
place their orders ahead of time or shop on your website. Have your products, paperwork and display items
organized and ready for your set-up. Being prepared gives you confidence and will increase your comfort level,
leaving behind any stress and last minute scrambling. Have plenty of Product Catalogs and Business Cards all
stamped or pre-labeled with your contact information. Determine where you will be setting up, ahead of time.
Make your set-up look easy for those who may be interested in hosting a Party. Make them feel like this is
something they could do too.
50
PRE-PARTY CHECKLIST

PARTY SETUP Follow-up and remind Guests 48 hours prior to the Party date. Keep things simple or glam things up; it’s completely
up to you. Just a few treats can do the trick or throw a themed Party, the possibilities are endless.
Checklist of Activities to do at every Party to encourage bookings:
⃝ Have themed Parties
⃝ Encourage Guests to try the products
⃝ Use visuals to illustrate the rewards your Hostess will receive. Show off the gifts your Hostess will receive by displaying them nicely where everyone can see them. Create a table sign showing the gifts your past Hostesses received.
⃝ Hand out catalogs with a “YES” coupon attached to each one and encourage your Guests to fill them out. Offer to draw a prize for those who participate in filling them out.
⃝ Play games to keep the Party fun.
As you collect payment for your orders, take this opportunity to review the “YES” coupon and talk about their
responses. You can say something like:
“I see that you said “Yes” to “Interested in hosting a Party.” Great decision Janice! Please pick a date that works
best for you and I will add it to my calendar right away. This date will be exclusively reserved for you!
Thank you for your order Jane. I’d love to do a Party for you and your friends too. I can do daytime parties for
Moms who are home with their kids, girls’ night Parties or a relaxed Sunday afternoon Parties with coffee. Which
would work best for you? Simply offer your availability, rather than asking a “Yes” or “No” question.
You really seemed to like our GelMoment products. Why not get a few friends together for a GelMoment Party and
get some of those colors you were planning to get for Free? Have a look at my openings while I total up your order.
Let me know which date works best for you and I will reserve it for you.
When someone says “No” ask “No like Never?” or “No like not Now?” Often your Guests will tell you it’s not a good
time for them. Ask for permission to follow-up later and make notes on your “Prospect Follow-Up Log”

ADDRESSING CONCERNS, HESITATIONS & OBJECTIONS ABOUT BOOKING A PARTY CONCERN QUESTION (get more info)
Listen Attentively
Answer (with clarity) Decision (agree on
action)
“I don’t do Parties”
“What happened to make you feel that way” Or “Tell me more about that”
Acknowledge that you understand. “I was never a fan of Parties myself, until I discovered GelMoment.
“With a GelMoment Party, it’s simple; I bring the Party to you and your friends get to play with nail polish and have beautiful nails. There is no formal presentation and you get Free Products!”
“Does that sound more like your kind of Party” “What would work better for you – a weekend or a weeknight? Why not take a look at my opening dates?”
“I’m too Busy” Or “There’s too much going on right now and I have no time”.
I’ll bet that all your friends are just as busy as you are! When is the last time that all of you had a fun ‘girl’s night in?”
“I completely understand. We women always put ourselves last on the list”
“I want you to know that this will be the easiest Party you ever had and your friends will be happy that you all got together”
“If you were to have a Party, what would work best for you? Weekend or weeknight?” “Here are the dates I still have available. Why not just pencil something in?”
“My friends don’t have any money.” Or “Most of my friends are out of work and can’t spend any money right now”
“Are you worried that your friends wouldn’t be able to come or that they wouldn’t be able to buy anything?”
“I understand your concern! With our GelMoment Parties, your friends can get a Free manicure, with no pressure to buy, so there is no cost to them or you. If they buy, you can still get your Hostess Gifts!”
“The best reason to set a date is because it’s a PARTY – not a sales event! All the individual items in our catalog are affordable, so if your friends want to treat themselves to a little something, they will be able to do it.”
“What do you think? May I show you the dates that I have available to set up a Party for you and your friends?”
“I want to check with my friends to see when they are available”
“Are you thinking that you can get everyone together at the same time?”
“That would be amazing, but it never happens!”
“In reality, about one third of the people you invite will be able to come, no matter what date you choose”
“Why don’t we pencil in a date? You can check with a couple of people you most want to have attend and if that date doesn’t work for them, we can rearrange it.”
“My house is too small”
“Tell me why you think that is a problem?”
“That’s the beautiful thing about a GelMoment Party!
“There is no formal presentation, so we don’t need much space. Just a place where people can paint their nails.”
“How does that sound? Would you like to take a look at my openings?”
“The products are too expensive.”
“It certainly looks expensive, doesn’t it? I felt the same way when I was introduced to the products.”
“Did you know that with one single bottle of Gel Polish you could do 15 manicures? That’s less than $3 per manicure! The LED lamp is guaranteed for life, so you never have to purchase a second one, unless you want a different color!”
“You never have to pay for professional salon services and you can do this in the comfort of your home for a fraction of the cost, no appointments necessary!”
“I would love to treat you to a shopping spree! Why not take a look at my available dates?”
“I only use natural products”
“I understand your concerns, I am very contentious myself of what I use.”
“Did you know that GelMoment Gel Polishes are 5-Free?
“They are also vegan-friendly, solvent-free, cruelty-free and non-toxic.
“When would you like to try out the products?”
52
Don’t get nervous when you hear concerns, hesitations or objections, they are actually a great sign. They just mean
that the person would like to know more and it’s your opportunity to make them a customer or your next recruit.
People have questions. You must listen, provide answers that will help them make a decision.
GAMES TO PLAY DURING THE PARTY Not sure how to break the ice at a home Party? Here are some fun ideas for games to play with your Guests. It will
help you get started and keep the fun going. Done correctly, Party Games can be very beneficial to the success of
your Party! The truth is, the more FUN people have at your Home Show, and the more likely they are to want to do
it again! Playing just a game or two will get people laughing, having fun, and leave the memory of a fun, relaxed
shopping experience with their friends that they will want to do again and again. Here are Ten Favorite Home Party
Games for you to try at your next GelMoment Party!
1. Just a Phone Call Away. At the beginning of your party, ask everyone to take out their cell phones and hold them
in their hand. You will have yours in your hand as well. Tell them this is the easiest game to win all night! *ha! *Ask
everyone to dial in your number – call it out to them number by number – and then when you say GO – everyone
hits call. Obviously, your phone will ring since they are all calling you – simply answer the phone to find the
“winner” on the line. Give her a little goodie for having the “fastest fingers in the room”! THEN – while everyone
still has their phone out, ask them to SAVE YOUR NUMBER with your first name and company – i.e. Amalia
GelMoment. Tell them that they have your number forever now, and if they ever need anything, you are JUST A
CALL AWAY – ask them to please put their phones on vibrate or silent not to disrupt the Party, and then begin with
your Party Presentation.
2. Drop the Shoe. This will get Guests talking to each other and about your products. As each Guest comes in, have
each Guest leave 1 shoe under their chair and put the other in the middle of the room. After everyone has arrived
tell them to pick a shoe from the middle (not their own) and find the pair. Once they find it, have them find out
what their favorite GelMoment product is and 1 reason why they should book a Party. Once they have done
conversing, go around the room and have each person introduce their “shoe friend”. It will sound like this “This is
Suzy’s Shoe, her favorite item is ______, and she should book a Party because________.
3. Recruiting Rhyme. If any selling you have done before, put down 10 to start your score. If you have a car and can
drive, the thing to do is just add 5. If some extra money is what you would like, add 10 more which is just about
right. A little spare time will add to your score, for this you may add 15 more. If you like people and think they are
grand, add 6 more and see where you stand. Add 10 points if you think Parties are fun, and when you add this you
are almost done. If you score the highest, it is plain to see a GelMoment Distributor is what you should be. Add 10
more if you want to be a GelMoment Distributor, like me!
4. Alphabet Game. Write each letter of the alphabet on a 3×5 index card. Hold each card up like a “flash card” and
give it to the person who yells out a word having to do with your business (product, opportunity, etc.) that starts
with the letter you held up! The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins! (I also give a gift to the
person with the least)
5. Crossed Out. As your Guests arrive, give out a few small gifts. (For example, you can give every 4th person a gift
(or give out the gifts however you choose). As soon as everyone is sitting, tell the group about the “no crossing”
rule. If a person holding a gift is caught crossing her legs, then she must relinquish her gift to the person who
catches her crossing her legs. This game should be played for the first half of the Party. At the halftime, everyone
53
who has a gift gets to open it. (If a person who already has a gift catches someone with a gift crossing her legs, she
can either trade gifts with that person, or choose a person who is “gift less” to give the extra gift to).
6. Thread Intro. Pass a spool of thread around to your Guests and tell them to take as much as they want. Tell them
you want to get to know them a little. Tell each Guest to talk about themselves as they wrap the thread around
their forefinger. When they reach the end, they can stop. Start with your Hostess. Go around the room until
everyone is introduced.
7. Pass the Prize. Have a wrapped prize ready for this fun game. Hand 1 person the gift and have them follow the
instructions as you read them. The person who is holding the prize at the end is the winner! (Similar to the Left
Right Game) “You thought all the gifts were meant for you. But I have other items too. So, hold up this gift and look
around, and give it to the one with eyes of brown. You think you are the lucky one, but let us all share in the fun!
Look around with eyes discreet, and give it to the one with the smallest feet. Your feet are tiny and very small. Now
hand it to someone very tall. Please, take your time and don’t be harried, give it to the one who is longest married.
You must be proud of your married life, now pass this on to the newest wife. If this parcel you are bereft, give it to
the one on your left. The largest earring I’m looking for now, if you’re wearing them, step up with a bow. Now to
the person with buttons– big or small, any kind, the most you can find gets the gift at this time. Now don’t get cross
and please don’t fight, but pass it to the lady third on the right. We should stop now, don’t you agree? The gift is
yours to open and see.”
8. Replace Your Husband. An ice breaker game to play at the beginning of the party. Have each Guest write down
an item in their house they need to repair or replace. Then have them list 5 simple reasons they want to get rid of
it. Now have them cross out the item and place their husbands name in that place. Go around the room and have
each person read aloud “I want to replace (husband’s name) because he…. (The five reasons). The funniest answers
win.
9. The Lei Game. This is a great game to play in the warm months or a themed party. As you reward your Party
Hostess with a gift for inviting you into her home, also adorn her with 3 lei’s. Announce to the crowds that during
your presentation if they want to book a Party yell out loud “I want to PARTY!” The Hostess will give her one of the
leis around her neck. Offer an incentive for the Hostess to get 3 bookings and she will also encourage her friends to
book a Party with you.
10. Party Bingo. Give each Guest a blank Bingo card and you should have a bag or box filled with cards that have
your demo products listed on each one. As you go through your presentation, have them randomly fill in the names
of items you show on their card. After you are done with your presentation, draw 4 cards from your bag or box and
call them out. For the 5th one say there are 2 free boxes, 1 for booking a Party today with me and 1 for becoming a
Distributor today, please fill those squares in. Continue to draw product cards till someone says BINGO.
COLLECTING CONTACT INFORMATION
Make sure to pass out Product Catalogs to all your Guests with a “YES” coupon attached in order to collect their
contact information so you can follow-up with them after the Party.
54
KEEP THE PARTY GOING – AFTER PARTY CUSTOMER CARE CALLS The Party may be over, but the opportunity is not. Text, email and Facebook message your Guests the day after the
party so they can add more colors to their collection before you place your order. Encourage your Hostesses to do
the same. Be sure to send a Thank You card to your Hostess. Customer care calls after the Party has ended are
very important; they give you the opportunity to:
Express appreciation for their business.
Ensure that they are satisfied with their purchases.
Offer suggestions on how to complete their collection of products.
Inform Hostesses and Customers about upcoming specials or events you may have.
Invite Hostesses and Customers to explore the GelMoment Business opportunity.
Ask for referrals of friends or associates that would like your services.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL?
Chances are that you could not possibly seize every opportunity to sell or recruit in one night. There are always
more sales, more bookings and more Prospects that you could identify in a few hour event. There were also
customers that you did not meet because they placed outside orders prior to the event. Here are some
conversational tips when calling:
Always begin with introducing yourself and asking if they have time for you.
1. “Hello ______, my name is _____ and I am your GelMoment Distributor. Do you have a minute to chat?”
2. “I called to thank you for coming to ____’s Party. I was wondering if there was anything about Hosting or becoming
a Distributor that you did not get a chance to ask me.”
3. “I called to thank you for placing an order with _____ even though you couldn’t make it to the party. Do you have
any questions about GelMoment products that I can answer for you? Do you have any questions about hosting or
the business opportunity that you would like to ask me?”
4. “Hi! This is ____. Do you have a moment?” I am just checking to make sure you got your GelMoment products
from ____’s Party.”
PARTY REVIEW
Did you do everything possible to ensure the success of your Party? You and your Hostess are partners in success.

SECTION 9 - HOSTESS COACHING
BOOK THE DATE AND PREP YOUR HOSTESS A Party only happens if you book a date! Decide on a date with your Hostess and coach her on how to prepare for a
successful GelMoment Party. Coaching your Hostess is about building a relationship with her. She can become a
loyal customer, a repeat Hostess or a member of your team. Hostesses want to be successful and earn as much free
products as possible, so work with them to make it happen. Great Hostess coaching equals big sales, lots of
bookings, fewer postponements and cancellations. A happy Hostess is one who will positively and enthusiastically
spread the word about your business!
Try offering extra incentives to your Hostess for every Party that is booked at her Party and she will help you
encourage her friends to book!
HOW TO COACH YOUR HOSTESS Tell your Hostess that you will work closely with her to make her Party a success and help her get the free stuff that
she has on her wish list. Ask her to make a list of what she would like and work with her to make it a reality. Keep
in-touch, set realistic and concrete expectations and inspire activity.
Once the Party is booked, provide your Hostess with Product Catalogs and order forms, so she can collect orders
from those who cannot attend. Leave her some information about the Business Opportunity and your Business
Cards, so she can pass them out to her friends. Tell her, “I want to help you have a successful Party. I will work
with you every step of the way.”
Help her write up her wish list, so she can get excited about the Free products she can earn.
Help your Hostess create her Guest List. Go through the different Social Circles with her. Tell her to write down at
least 40 names because only ¼ to 1/3 will be able to come.
Tell her to invite her Guests personally. This gives her the opportunity to encourage her Guests to bring a friend.
Many Guests are more comfortable arriving with a friend, especially if they don’t know anyone at the Party.
Ask her if you can personally call her Guests to introduce yourself, a day or two before the Party. If she agrees,
encourage her to advise her Guests to expect your call. Guests don’t come because they forget, so this will also
serve as a reminder call for them. When you meet them in person, you will already feel connected.
Encourage her to get outside orders from Guests that cannot attend, to ensure maximum sales.
Advise her of the payment methods you accept, so Guests can come prepared. This avoids lost sales.
COACHING CALLS
There are 3 calls you should make to your Hostess to keep her engaged and excited about her upcoming
GelMoment Party. Her enthusiasm will keep her commitment firm and lessen the chances of postponement or
cancellation.
CALL #1 - The day after you book her Party
Confirm that the day will work for her. If there is a conflict, reschedule immediately.
Find out how many names she has written down on her possible Guest list. Go through the social circles again and
help her maximize her list.
Tell her that you will be offering the Business Opportunity to her Guests but that you want to be sure and offer it to
her first. “Have you ever considered doing something like this?”
57
CALL #2 - One week after booking the Party
Ask how many Guests have confirmed and discuss ideas for boosting attendance. Look at categories that she didn’t
consider when inviting her Guests.
Remind her to show the GelMoment Product Catalog to friends that could not attend or backed out. Not attending
doesn’t mean that they cannot place an order or look at your brochure for more information on the business.
CALL #3 - 2 days before the Party
Finalize the details and confirm the address for her home, so you can show up on time.
Find out if any last-minute Guests were added to the list, so you can add them to the list of people you will call to
introduce yourself.
Discuss your set up. Arrive early and have your Hostess do her nails, so that she is also wearing the product.
Thank her for her efforts so far, and tell her it will be a great Party.
Find out if she is interested in talking about the Business Opportunity before the Party. Let her know that if she
decides to become a Distributor, all the commissions you would earn at her Party will become hers.
Assure her that you will still go and host the Party with her, even though she will now be the Hostess.
MAKE THE REMINDER CALLS YOURSELF
The most common reason people don’t show up to a Party is because they forget. If the Hostess wants to call
herself, just say, “I know you can call, but this is a service that I am providing to you. I can make the calls in 20
minutes and it can take you hours because people might keep you on the phone forever just to chat. You can enjoy
your evening, while I do the work for you. Your Guests will feel more comfortable coming if I introduce myself first.
Keep the calls brief. If a Guest is not home, leave a message. Don’t forget to smile when speaking on the phone.
Say something like, “Hi! My name is _____. We haven’t met yet, but I will be the GelMoment Distributor at
_____’s Party tomorrow night. I am calling to introduce myself. We will start at 7:00PM. Feel free to bring a
friend. Can’t wait to meet you and if you have any questions, you can call me at ________________.”
This is the perfect opportunity to advise your Hostess’s Guests of the different forms of payment that you will be
accepting at the Party, so they won’t have any surprises and you won’t lose any sales. Be prepared with change,
carry a credit card accepting device such as “Square” or similar and decide if you want to accept checks or not. The
more options you make available, the easier the transactions will be.

8. Is there an option for using multiple credit cards when placing Party orders?
We currently do not have the option of accepting multiple credit cards on our website. We suggest that you use a device such as “square” if you need to accept credit card payments from your customers, prior to using your own credit card to place your Party orders. The 7-day window gives you sufficient time to transfer the funds to your personal credit card. You can also invite customers to place their order directly on your website, and it will ship directly to them, making things even easier for you!
64
9. Do my Party orders ship directly to my Hostess?
All orders will ship to the address indicated in the shipping section of your order, the choice is up to you.
10. Do I need to write anything in the additional instructions section of my order when placing a Party order?

SECTION 11 - TRADE SHOWS AND VENDOR EVENTS
WHY DO TRADE SHOWS OR VENDOR EVENTS? Events are an amazing way to grow your customer base and add new recruits to your team. A successful show or
event takes preparation, organization and dedication to make it successful. You will need to work before, during
and after the event. Events can be found through local religious groups, schools, businesses, online, in local
classifieds, newspapers etc.
FINDING EVENTS Can’t find an event? Make your own! There is nothing more rewarding that creating something, watching it
materialize and declaring it a success. Here is one way you can go about creating your own event:
Approach a local school, religious organization, community center etc. and ask them if you can rent out space to
hold a bazaar or vendor event. They will charge you a fee either per table, hour or per day for the space rental.
Post an ad through your local paper, online classifieds or through social media vendor groups. Look for local
vendors who want to participate in your event by selling their products. Charge a reasonable fee to each vendor
who attends for their table rental and use that money to pay the space that you rented out. Voila! You now have
an event.
The next thing you need to do to make this event successful is, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE and ADVERTISE. Ask the
other vendors to pitch in and print as many flyers as you can. Post them on the adverting boards in your local
grocery stores, pharmacies, community centers, malls and on your community mailboxes. The more you advertise,
the more you increase your chances of attendance. Ask your local radio station to announce your event on the day
it’s taking place, most radio stations will do it without any hassle.
Ask each vendor to donate an item that they are selling and use those as door prizes for the attendees. This reduces
the out-of-pocket expenses for you. Advertise on your flyer that you are giving away prizes to increase attendance.
Everyone loves prizes!
ORGANIZING AN EVENT These are only a few ideas and tips to help you get started when organizing or hosting events.
Book at least 1 vendor event per season, this will keep your contact list growing.
Google “craft fairs and festivals” to find local events.
Ask local religious groups, schools, community centers and hospitals for a list of events to increase your chances of
securing an event.
Ask Event Organizers to put you on the call-back list for the following year, it actually makes things easier for them
too.
Don’t attend events alone; team up with other Distributors on your team. If your table or booth gets busy and you
don’t have someone with you, you may miss out on potential customers or recruits.
Set up a table or booth that looks professional and esthetically appealing.
Dress professionally and look presentable. After all, you are working in the beauty industry.
Have plenty of Business Cards and professionally made pamphlets to hand out with your info on them.
Place a bowl of candy or lollipops on your table so that children will bring their moms over to you; works like a
charm.
68
Draw a prize to collect customer data for follow-up.
Follow up with everyone who enters the draw and ask them if they want to host a Party.
Talk to everyone who comes to your table about the Business Opportunity.
If you are organizing your own event, you may want to consider making it a Fundraiser. People love attending
when they know that their money is going to a charitable organization. You can invite extra vendors and use the
money you collect from their table rental to donate towards the cause that you choose to support. You may also
ask each vendor to donate a percentage of their sales towards the cause as well. Support a different cause at every
event and raise funds for organizations in your community.
BUILDING YOUR CONTACT LIST When attending Trade Shows and Vendor Events, connect with the other vendors and exchange contact
information. They will be a great resource for you in finding other events. Ask them to contact you if they hear of
similar events and offer to do the same for them, this will help fill up your calendar. Vendors usually end up
purchasing products from each other; take this opportunity to talk to them about the GelMoment Business
Opportunity.
The next section of this Training Manual will give you lots of useful information in regards to Fundraising.

SECTION 12 - FUNDRAISING WITH YOUR GELMOMENT BUSINESS
WHAT IS A FUNDRAISER? Fundraising is the process of gathering voluntary contributions of money or other resources by requesting
donations from individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, or governmental agencies. Traditionally, fundraising
consisted mostly of asking for donations on the street or at people's doors, and this is experiencing very strong
growth in the form of face-to-face fundraising. New methods of fundraising such as online fundraising have
emerged in recent years. No method is better than another, just find a cause that means something to you and
support it.
Fundraising is a fantastic way to use your GelMoment business to give back to your community and build your
customer base. The key to building a successful Direct Sales business is to be in contact with new people on a
regular basis. Fundraising will put you in front of people who may not be drawn to the idea of Direct Sales and
home based businesses. Use this opportunity to collect names by holding a draw and by following up on those
leads.
PLANNING YOUR FUNDRAISER Be the Expert
You need to have a concrete plan in place on how you are going to handle your event every step of the way. When
meeting the organizer of an event, if you open with, “well, what do you want to do” it puts all the pressure on the
organizer. The key to a successful Fundraiser is making it as easy as possible for the organization. Understand their
goal. Meet the organizer and develop a clear plan on how you will help them achieve their goals. When
approaching a group about a Fundraiser, quantify the potential value for them. You could say something like….
“When we met, I understood that your goal is to buy new uniforms for your cheerleading squad and you mentioned
that it would require $1000 to achieve that. I have a plan to help you achieve your goal! Your group will receive 25%
of every dollar sold, so total sales need to be $4000. You have 20 girls on your team, so each girl needs to have sales
for $200. That’s the equivalent to a total of only 8 GelMoment polishes each!
Combine the hands-on and online sales to maximize your sales by providing a link to your event that people can
share on their Facebook pages. The online part reduces the need for volunteers and eliminates the issue of
handling money, bounced checks and customers can shop from the comfort of their homes.
The success of your Fundraiser will depend on how energetically you embrace it and market it. Set your goals,
advertise and follow-up with your leads.
This is YOUR BUSINESS so you choose how you would like to grow it. Use these useful tips to get started with your
own Fundraiser:
71
SOME WORTHY CAUSES TO SUPPORT
Find a worthy cause that you would like to support.
Awareness groups; cancer, autism, social, health
Charities
Religious groups
Schools / PTAs
Cheerleaders / gymnastics
Sports teams; boys and girls
Food Banks
Homeless programs; teens and adults
Find local charities to support in your area by searching online.
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU GIVE?
Know your plan! You are Fundraising to help an organization and to grow your customer base. The amount that
you donate is totally up to you, so give the highest limit that financially makes sense to you. Here are some
suggestions:
Donate all your profits (difference between wholesale/retail).
Choose a flat amount or a percentage of your earnings.
Factor in your costs; catalogs, travel, samples etc.
You may want to consider putting a cap on large Fundraisers or a minimum to protect smaller Fundraisers.
Your donation is a Tax Deduction.
TAX DEDUCTIONS
Consult a tax professional in your area and inform yourself on eligible tax benefits that you are entitled to. In most
cases:
Simply write a check payable to your cause.
You may be eligible to take a deduction on your personal taxes when writing a check to a non-profit organization.
This information may vary by location, please verify what you are eligible for in your city.
MAKE YOUR GELMOMENT PARTY A “FUNRAISER”
Support a cause for your Hostess. Donate the Party profits to a cause of their choice; they will want to maximize the
Party sales to support their cause and work hard to do so.
Set up a virtual Party by creating a Facebook group, for each member of a sports/cheerleading team and get them
to sell the products for you. All they have to do is add their friends to the group. Post all the information about your
products and the purpose of the Fundraiser and include your link for ordering or instructions on how you would like
orders to be collected and distributed. Donate all or part of the profits collected through these Parties to the
organization.
72
When working with a group of students, sports team members etc., acknowledge Top Sellers throughout the
Fundraiser; Motivate and capitalize on the competitive nature of the group or team.
Team up with Distributors in your area and support opposing sports teams or sports teams from two different
schools and bring on the challenge!
Ask the participants to set personal goals and encourage them to achieve these goals.
All the participants are potentially your future customers, Hostesses or team members, so collect their information
and follow-up to see if they are interested in your products or your Business Opportunity.

Personal Retail Sales: All eligible retail purchases/sales both personal and those made by your customers, through your website. Personal Retail Earnings: This is the discount you receive on your personal purchases and sales made through your website. The discount is based on your monthly “Paid As” Rank.

Branches: A Branch is each of your 1st Level Distributors and their downline. A downline refers to the amount of levels for which you are eligible to receive a commission. For example, if you are a Drama Queen, you earn from 4 levels. A Branch would be each of your 1st Level Distributors and their 3 levels.

Inactivity: Should a Distributor become inactive, by not having met the rolling 3-month requirements, their account will be closed and they will lose their downline.

COMPENSATION PLAN FAQS
How does the GelMoment Compensation Plan work?
The Compensation Plan is based on monthly requirements. There are no annual requirements needed to earn
monthly commissions (other than paying your annual website maintenance and eWallet fees).
The first day of each month, everyone other than those at the “Gel Go” Level, will be reset back to Fashionista.
All Personal Retail Sales and purchases made throughout that month for Fashionistas and above, will be discounted
at 25% (paid through eWallet, one hour later).
On the last day of each month, your “Paid As” rank will be determined based on all the requirements achieved
during that month.
If you end the month with a higher Rank than Fashionista, you will receive the difference between the 25% and 50%
discount that you are entitled to, in one lump sum.
You will also receive commissions on your downline based on the “Paid As” rank that you achieved that month. See
the Monthly Rank Requirement Chart and Earnings Breakdown Charts for details. Charts and values vary by
country. All Australian values include GST. All UK values include VAT.

commission will be paid out. See compensation plan for requirements and percentages paid, based on each
achieved rank.

Can a different brand of LED or UV lamp be used to cure GelMoment Gel Polish?
Other brands of lamps can be used at your discretion. However, using another brand of lamp other that the
recommended GelMoment LED Lamp may vary in wattage and intensity. Dry times may vary and the Gel Polish
may not last up to 14 days.
Can a different brand of remover be used to remove GelMoment Gel Polish?
GelMoment Remover Pads are specially formulated to work with our Gel Polish. Results may vary if using a
different brand of remover.
What is the wattage of GelMoment’s LED lamp?
GelMoment carries 2 different LED Lamps. Our 2-finger LED Lamp is 6Ws and cures our polish in 60 seconds. Our
Professional 4-finger LED Lamp is 8Ws and cures our polish is 45 seconds.
Does the GelMoment LED lamp come with replacement bulbs?
GelMoment’s LED Lamps are guaranteed for life; therefore, no replacement bulbs are required.
87
Can GelMoment products be sold in Salons or Spas?
GelMoment products may be sold to and displayed in a Salon or Spa that is an independent single establishment and not part of a chain or franchise. If the following criteria are met, the size of the establishment or number of employees does not matter. These rules also apply to Salon and Spa owners or employees who wish to sign up and become Distributors.
What is the difference between LED and UV lamps?
GelMoment is pleased to clarify the differences between traditional gel manicures and the GelMoment experience.
All light gives off a certain amount of UV light, including the sun and every other body of light. It is important to
limit that exposure. It is important to know that traditional UV lights are considered to be absolutely safe. A 2013
independent study found “UV nail lamps exceeded safety expectations. These lamps were found to be significantly
less hazardous than expected based on the initial concerns raised by others. The researchers found that UV
exposure is so low that a person could put her hands under a nail lamp for 25 minutes a day without exceeding the
internationally accepted safe limits for daily workplace UV exposure. The data showed that UV nail lamps were
safer than both natural sunlight and sunlamps.
Regardless, a traditional gel manicure, goes through a three-step process, which necessitates going through the
traditional UV lamp three times, this can be up to ten minutes per nail. The beauty of the GelMoment experience is
that there is only one coat for 46 or 60 seconds, depending on which one of our LED Lamps you choose, so this
absolutely limits any exposure to any UV rays.
LED lamps also emit a certain amount of UV light. The greatest advantage they have over the traditional UV light is
that the amount of time exposed to the light is cut down to a third. In addition, the LED light has over 50,000 hours
of use; enough for a lifetime.
Since GelMoment only requires one coat of Gel Polish, and does not need any base or top coat, it becomes far
easier to remove, and in fact anecdotally we have heard from many of our customers already that they have felt
their nails becoming stronger and less brittle after trying the GelMoment experience. This too is the reason why it is
far easier to remove and actually leaves no damage to the nail. Even when using the GelMoment nail pusher, it is
just the Gel Polish that is removed and the nail is left intact.

95
SECTION 3 - OPERATING AN INDEPENDENT GELMOMENT BUSINESS
3.1 - Distributor Created Marketing Methods and Tools
Distributors must adhere to the terms of the GelMoment Compensation Plan as set forth in official GelMoment literature. Distributors shall not offer the GelMoment opportunity through, or in combination with, any other system, program, Sales Tools, or method of marketing other than that specifically set forth in official GelMoment literature. Distributors shall not require or encourage other current or prospective or Distributors to execute any agreement or contract other than official GelMoment agreements and contracts in order to become a GelMoment Distributor. Similarly, Distributors shall not require or encourage other current or prospective or Distributors to make any purchase from, or payment to, any individual or other entity to participate in the GelMoment Compensation Plan other than those purchases or payments identified as recommended or required in official GelMoment literature.
3.2 - Advertising
All Distributors shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of GelMoment and its products. The marketing and promotion of GelMoment, the GelMoment opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and GelMoment products must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.
To promote both the products and the tremendous opportunity GelMoment offers, Distributors must use the Sales Tools produced by GelMoment or approved by GelMoment as described below. The Company has carefully designed its products, product labels, Compensation Plan, and Sales Tools to ensure that they are promoted in a fair and truthful manner, that they are substantiated, and that the materials comply with the legal requirements of federal, provincial, and territorial laws.
Accordingly, Distributors may only advertise or promote their GelMoment business using approved Sales Tools acquired through GelMoment or through the GelMoment approved Vista Print portals. No approval is necessary to use these approved Sales Tools. If a Distributor wishes to design his or her own online or offline Sales Tools of any kind, the proposed designs must be submitted to the GelMoment advertising department ([email protected]) for consideration and inclusion in the Document Library. Unless the Distributor receives specific written approval from GelMoment to use such Sales Tools, the request shall be deemed denied. Go to the appropriate tab in your Back-Office for guidelines and to access the library.
Distributors who receive authorization from GelMoment to produce their own Sales Tools may not sell, lease, or charge a fee of any nature for such Sales Tools to any other GelMoment Distributor. Distributors may make approved Sales Tools available to other Distributors free of charge if they wish, but may not charge other GelMoment Distributors for the Sales Tools.
Approved Sales Tools will be posted in the Document Library section of Distributors’ Back-Offices and will be made available to all Distributors free of charge. The Distributor who submitted the Sales Tool to the Company waives all claims to remuneration for such use and grants GelMoment an irrevocable license to use the Sales Tools as the Company deems appropriate.
If the independent GelMoment business of a Distributor who has received authorization to create and post an External Website is voluntarily or involuntarily canceled for any reason, he/she shall assign the URL to his/her External Website to the Company within three days from the date of the cancellation.
96
3.2.1 - Trademarks and Copyrights
The name “GelMoment” and other names and logos as may be adopted by the Company are proprietary trade names and/or trademarks of GelMoment. The Company grants Distributors a limited license to use its trademarks and trade names in promotional media for so long as the Distributor’s Agreement is in effect. Upon termination of a Distributor’s Agreement, his or her license shall immediately expire and the Distributor shall immediately discontinue all use of the Company’s trademarks and trade names. Under no circumstances may a Distributor use any of GelMoment’s trademarks or trade names in any email address, website domain name, social media handle, social media name or address, or in any unapproved Sales Tools.
GelMoment commonly puts on live and recorded events as well as webinars and telephone conference calls. During these events Company executives, Distributors, and guests appear and speak. The content of such events is copyrighted material that is owned exclusively by the Company. Distributors may not record any Company functions for any reason, whether such event is live, a webinar, via conference call, or delivered through any other medium. In addition, Company produced Sales Tools, videos, audios, podcasts, and printed material is also copyrighted. Distributors shall not copy any such materials for their personal or business use without the Company’s prior written approval.
As an independent Distributor, you may use the GelMoment name in the following manner
Distributor’s Name
GelMoment Independent Distributor
Example:
Alice Smith
GelMoment Independent Distributor
Distributors may not use the name “GelMoment” in any form in a team name, a tagline, an external website name, a personal website address or extension, in an e-mail address, as a personal name, or as a nickname. Distributors may not name their Facebook or other social media pages “GelMoment” or similar. If a Distributor wishes to use the term “GelMoment” on her Facebook or other social media page(s), the Distributor may only do so if she includes her name and words “GelMoment Independent Distributor” or similar. They may also use the term “GelMoment” for use in a social media page or group, if they write “by” and then the distributors’ name. For example, “GelMoment by Amalia”. Additionally, a Distributor may only use the phrase GelMoment Independent Distributor in telephone greetings or on an answering machine to clearly separate the Distributor’s independent GelMoment business from GelMoment.
97
3.3 - Online Conduct
3.3.1 - Distributor Web Sites
If a Distributor desires to utilize an Internet web page to promote his or her business, he or she may do so through the Replicated Website that each Distributor receives a subscription to when enrolling as a Distributor.
In addition, Distributors may also develop their own personal websites to promote their GelMoment businesses and generate sales of GelMoment products. However, before launching any website, the Distributor must submit a beta site to GelMoment for review, and receive GelMoment’s written approval before the site can go live. Once a website is approved by GelMoment in writing, it is an “External Website”. Any changes to the website must be submitted to GelMoment, and the Distributor must receive GelMoment’s written authorization to make the change before going live with the change.
External Websites may be used to promote a Distributor’s independent GelMoment business and the Company’s products so long as the External Website adheres to the Company’s advertising policies. However, no orders may be placed through an External Websites; orders may only be placed through a Company provided Replicated Website. A Distributor may link an approved External Website to the order entry screen of the Company provided Replicated Website to facilitate sales should the Distributor wish to do so.
3.3.2 - GelMoment Replicated Websites
Distributors receive a GelMoment Replicated Website subscription to facilitate the online buying experience for their customers and enrollments of new Distributors. Distributors are solely responsible and liable for the content they add to their Replicated Websites and must regularly review the content to ensure it is accurate and relevant.
Distributors may not alter the branding, artwork, look, or feel of their Replicated Websites, and may not use their Replicated Websites to promote, market or sell non-GelMoment products, services or business opportunities. Specifically, a Distributor may not alter the look (placement, sizing etc.) or functionality of the following:
The Distributor’s Name
GelMoment Corporate Website Redirect Button Artwork, logos, or graphics Original text.
GelMoment reserves the right to receive analytics and information regarding the usage of your website.
A Distributor may request to change the default ID for his or her Replicated Website and choose a uniquely identifiable website name, but this name must not:
Be confused with other portions of the GelMoment corporate website; Confuse a reasonable person into thinking they have landed on a GelMoment corporate page; Be confused with any GelMoment name; Contain any discourteous, misleading, or off-color words or phrases that may damage GelMoment’s image.
98
3.3.4 - GelMoment Independent Distributor Disclosure
To avoid confusion, the following three elements must be prominently displayed at the top of every page of a Distributor’s External Website:
The Distributor’s Name and Title GelMoment Corporate Website Redirect Button
Although GelMoment brand themes and images are desirable for consistency, anyone landing on any page of a Distributor’s External Website must clearly understand that they are at an Independent Distributor site, and not a GelMoment Corporate page.
3.3.5 - External Websites Must Exclusively Promote GelMoment
A Distributor’s External Website must contain content and information that is exclusive to GelMoment. A Distributor may not advertise any products or services other than the GelMoment product line and the GelMoment opportunity.
3.3.6 - No eCommerce or Stock-and-Sell Retailing
A Distributor’s External Website must only facilitate the entry into his or her GelMoment Replicated Website. Distributors may not stock and sell GelMoment products, and may not facilitate an eCommerce environment that would facilitate this model.

3.3.8 - Team Websites
Team Websites are not a violation of GelMoment’s policy prohibiting Distributors from developing independent websites. A Team Website must be password protected and available only to Distributors within a single line of sponsorship. Team Websites must serve only as a forum for communication, training, recognition, connecting and motivating Distributors within that line of sponsorship. Team Websites may not be used for recruiting or sales purposes, and may not be shared with prospective Distributors. Team Websites must comply with all of GelMoment’s Policies and Procedures.
3.3.9 - Domain Names, email Addresses and Online Aliases
Distributors are not allowed to use or register “GelMoment” or any of GelMoment’s trade names, trademarks, product names, or any derivatives, for any Internet domain name, email address, or online aliases. Additionally, a Distributor cannot use or register domain names, email addresses, and/or online aliases that could cause confusion, or be misleading or deceptive, in that they cause individuals to believe or assume the communication is from, or is the property of GelMoment. This includes, but does not limit, any domain or email address that has the name of any Country, State, Province or City, either in its entirety of abbreviated form. This includes whether it makes up the complete domain name and email address, or part of it. GelMoment can refuse any domain name at any time and the Distributor will have to choose a new one.
99
If a Distributor violates this policy, the Distributor shall assign and transfer the domain name, email address, social media handle or name, or online alias to the Company immediately upon the Company’s demand, and the Distributor shall be responsible for paying all fees and costs, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs and transfer costs, associated with the assignment and transfer. This remedy is in addition to, and not in place of, other remedies and/or disciplinary measures that the Company may take pursuant to these Policies.

Distributors may not monetize their Replicated Website or their External Website through affiliate programs, AdSense or similar programs.
3.3.12 - Online Classifieds

These templates will identify the Distributor as a GelMoment Independent Distributor. If a link or URL is provided, it must link to the Distributor’s Replicated Website or External Website.

3.3.19 - Domain Names and Email Addresses
Except as set forth in the Distributor Website Agreement, Distributors may not use or attempt to register any of GelMoment’s trade names, trademarks, product names, the Company’s name, or any derivative of the foregoing, for any Internet domain name, email address, or name or address.
100
3.4 - Social Media
Social Media may be used by Distributors to share information about the GelMoment. However, Distributors who elect to use Social Media must adhere to the Policies and Procedures in all respects.
Social Media sites may not be used to sell or offer to sell specific GelMoment products. Profiles a Distributor generates in any social community where GelMoment is discussed or mentioned must clearly identify the Distributor as a GelMoment Independent Distributor, and when a Distributor participates in those communities, Distributors must avoid inappropriate conversations, comments, images, video, audio, applications or any other adult, profane, discriminatory or vulgar content. The determination of what is inappropriate is at GelMoment’s sole discretion, and offending Distributors will be subject to disciplinary action. Banner ads and images used on these sites must be current and must come from the GelMoment approved library. If a link is provided, it must link to the posting Distributor’s Replicated Website or the Distributor’s Company-approved External Website.
Distributors may not use blog spam, spamdexing or any other mass-replicated methods to leave blog comments. Comments Distributors create or leave must be useful, unique, relevant and specific to the blog’s article.
3.4.1 - Distributors Are Responsible for Postings
Distributors are personally responsible for their postings and all other online activity that relates to GelMoment. Therefore, even if a Distributor does not own or operate a blog or Social Media site, if a Distributor posts to any such site that relates to GelMoment or which can be traced to GelMoment, the Distributor is responsible for the posting. Distributors are also responsible for postings that appear on any blog or Social Media site that the Distributor owns, operates, or controls.
3.4.2 - Identification as an GelMoment Independent Distributor
When posting to social media, a Distributor must disclose his or her full name and conspicuously identify himself or herself as an independent Distributor for GelMoment. Anonymous postings or use of an alias is prohibited. Distributors will not be added to the Corporate Facebook pages, if their Facebook account does not match the name on their Distributor account.
3.4.3 - Social Media as a Sales and Promotion Forum
Some social media sites promote commercial use while others prohibit it. It is each Distributor’s responsibility to learn and abide by the social media site’s terms of use and policies. If the social media site does not allow its site to be used for commercial activity, you must abide by the site’s terms of use. Social Media sites are relationship-building sites.
3.4.4 - Sales and Enrollments from Social Media Sites Are Prohibited
Online sales and/or enrollments may only be generated from a Distributor’s GelMoment replicated website. Likewise, Distributors shall not use any Social Media site to explain the GelMoment Compensation Plan or any component of the Compensation Plan. GelMoment products may be advertised and promoted at social media sites (subject to compliance with Section 3.4.3), but no price information may be included in such posts or ads.
101
3.4.5 - Deceptive Postings
Postings that are false, misleading, or deceptive are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, false or deceptive postings relating to the GelMoment income opportunity, GelMoment’s products, and/or your biographical information and credentials.
3.4.10 - Responding to Negative Posts
Distributors should not converse with anyone who places a negative post against the Distributor, other independent Distributors, or GelMoment. Report negative posts to the Company at [email protected]. Responding to such negative posts often simply fuels a discussion with someone carrying a grudge that does not hold themselves to the same high standards as GelMoment, and therefore damages the reputation and goodwill of GelMoment.
3.4.12 - Promotion of Other Direct Selling Businesses Through Social Media
In addition to meeting all other requirements specified in these Policies, should a Distributor utilize any form of social media, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, or Pinterest, the Distributor agrees to each of the following:
No product sales or enrollments may occur on any social media site. To generate sales, a social media site must link only to the Distributor’s GelMoment Replicated Website.
Other than Pinterest and similar social media sites, any social media site that is directly or indirectly operated or controlled by a Distributor that is used to discuss or promote GelMoment’s products or the GelMoment opportunity may not link to any website, social media site, or site of any other nature, other than the Distributor’s GelMoment replicated website.
During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 calendar months thereafter, a Distributor may not use any social media site on which they discuss or promote, or have discussed or promoted, the GelMoment business or GelMoment’s products to directly or indirectly solicit GelMoment Distributors for another direct selling or network marketing program (collectively, “direct selling”). In furtherance of this provision, a Distributor shall not take any action that may reasonably be foreseen to result in drawing an inquiry from other Distributors relating to the Distributor’s other direct selling business activities. The provision in this bullet point does not apply to a Distributor’s personally sponsored Distributors. Violation of this provision shall constitute a violation of the Nonsolicitation Policy in Section 3.13.
A Distributor may post or “pin” photographs of GelMoment products on a social media site, but only photos that are provided by GelMoment and downloaded from the Distributor’s Back-Office, or photos that the Company has specifically approved, may be used.
If a Distributor creates a business profile page on any social media site that promotes or relates to GelMoment, its products, or opportunity, the business profile page must relate exclusively to the Distributor’s GelMoment business and GelMoment products. If the Distributor’s GelMoment business is cancelled for any reason or if the Distributor becomes inactive, the Distributor must deactivate the business profile page.
Cross promotion on a GelMoment Business page is prohibited. Promoting GelMoment products or Business Opportunity in conjunction with another Direct Selling
company is also prohibited.
102
3.10.1 – Independent Salons and Spas
GelMoment products may be sold from and displayed in independent salons and spas as long as the salon or spa is not part of a chain or franchise system and the owner or manager of the salon or spa, or one of the professionals providing salon or spa services to customers is an active GelMoment Distributor.
3.11 - Signage
To avoid giving the appearance of a permanent retail establishment, yard signs and/or other signage must not be displayed on a stationary object, or permanently installed outside, or affixed to the windows of a Distributor’s personal residence or other residence. Temporary signage or signage affixed to a mobile object may be displayed in conjunction with a home party, open house, or other approved GelMoment event. The determination of whether an object is mobile or stationary shall be solely at GelMoment’s discretion.
3.12 - Trade Shows, Expositions and Other Sales Forums
Distributors may display and/or sell GelMoment products at trade shows and professional expositions. Distributors are responsible for making all arrangements with the event organizers in regards to booths, costs, number of participants allowed per event etc. GelMoment will not involve itself or intervene in any dispute between Distributors that arises in connection with such an event for any reason.
GelMoment Distributors may not participate at events that are not consistent with the professional image that GelMoment wishes to portray. Such events include, but are not limited to, swap meets, garage sales and flea markets.
GelMoment Distributors are permitted to set up a booth in a shopping mall under the following conditions:
Booth must not be permanent fixture
Booth must be in mall passage or hallways and not inside a commercial store

Product swapping in an online group is prohibited, as is selling products for less than the retail advertised pricing.
3.13.2 - Distributor Participation in Other Direct Selling Programs
If a Distributor is engaged in other non-GelMoment business or direct selling programs, it is the responsibility of the Distributor to ensure that his or her GelMoment business is operated entirely separate and apart from all other businesses and/or direct selling programs. To this end, the Distributor must adhere to the following:
103
Distributors must not sell, or attempt to sell, any competing non-GelMoment products that are sold through another direct selling program to GelMoment Distributors. Any product in the same generic categories as GelMoment products is deemed to be competing, regardless of differences in cost, quality or other distinguishing factors.
Distributors shall not display GelMoment promotional materials, sales aids, or products with any non-GelMoment promotional materials, sales aids, products or services.
Distributors shall not offer the GelMoment opportunity or products to prospective or existing Distributors in conjunction with any non-GelMoment program, opportunity, product or service.
Distributors may not offer any non-GelMoment opportunity, products, services or opportunity at any GelMoment-related meeting, seminar, convention, webinar, teleconference, or other function.
4.2 - Product Pricing / Price Advertising
As independent contractors, Distributors may establish their own pricing for reselling their GelMoment products. However, Distributors shall not advertise GelMoment products for less than the retail price as published by the Company. This includes posting that you have special pricing and that people should contact you for more details. Furthermore, not bulk pricing or special enticement advertising is allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, offers of free starter kits, free shipping, or other such offers that grant advantages beyond those available through any Distributor’s GelMoment Website. Distributors are responsible for adherence to all local laws concerning pricing.
4.6 - Shipping Schedule
Orders are typically prepared within 1-3 business days from the date on which the order is placed. It may take up to 10 business days to receive your order after it has been shipped. Once an order is placed, no changes can be made to it and it due to the instant payment program and it cannot be combined with other orders to save on shipping costs.
Please allow up to 7 business days for processing on Enrollment Packages plus 10 business days for shipping.
9.2 - Cancellation Due to Inactivity
