Knowledge is power and for Edmarkers, product knowledge can mean more sales. It is not easy to effectively sell to a customer if we cannot show how a particular product will address a customer’s needs.

In that sense, having a thorough understanding of the products can allow an Edmarker to use different techniques and methods of presenting the product to their customers. That is why we conducted our very First Grand Healthy Living Seminar, last Sunday, February 12, 2012 here in Edmark Kota Kinabalu.

Marketing Staff, Steff Eslava and our Ruby Manager, Geraldine Capalos was the speakers of the said event. They imparted facts about our P4 products: Shake Off, MRT Complex, Splina Liquid Chlorophyll, Red Yeast Coffee and Ginseng Coffee to all the Edmarkers present in that event. It is important for them to understand the value of the product, how the product should and can be used, and what products work well together. It is also vital that becoming educated in the products that they are selling and its uses will help strengthen the confidence of our Distributors to introduce the product to everyone. It may take a while to easily articulate their product knowledge, especially with new members, but over time they will become comfortable and confident in providing the correct information to their prospects.

It’s a great feeling seeing our Edmark distributors completely enthusiastic about the products. As we make excitement for the products, we remove any doubt that the product may not be the best solution for our customer and believing that the easiest way to become enthusiastic is to truly believe in Edmark products.

All the other African countries are doing so well but Nigeria is really spreading with the speed of light, it is based on the embracement that Edmark has decided to stop the train of the Edmark City in Nigeria.
The Edmark City is going to be a city full of condominiums, Malls, universities, Mosque, Temples, game arena and name them; the Edmark city is really going to be a city within a city.

Setting goals for your self can help you to stay focused on what you want from life; it can help to counter our bias towards short-term thinking and short-term results. It is on this fact that Edmark Malaysia organized it first ever Goals Setting Seminar on the 4^th of February 2012.

It was really a joyous moment when the preparation began, registrations began around 1:00pm and the grand entrance to the hall of light created a platform for guest and distributors to set up a life changing goals.

The dance energizer was indeed an incredible one, prayers were said to commence the program and  the opening prayers was given by the Int. General Manager  MS Lynden Valdez , the first speaker Miss Anna De Leon laid  a solid foundation for the program.

The speaker as experienced as she is, spoke on the Edmark University of Success and how to become a highly effective and strong individual, letting our guest and distributors know that self-confidence is the difference between feeling unstoppable and feeling scared out of your wits.

Our most able double crown manager, trainer and international motivational speaker took over the stage vibrating the room with his achievements.  The speaker DCM Anafo Trinidad spoke on knowing your big rocks in your Edmark business and how to get what you really want. The program was indeed a power packed event!

A short break was given for snack taking, followed by another dance energizer when the DJ of the day IGM Lynden Valdez decided to play the Igwe song, oh mine it was a waist wriggling   dance when Malaysian’s, Filipinos and Africans did it together.

DM Anna was back on stage speaking on the importance of tools, affirming emphatically that tools are not toys and that if you don’t know the use of your tools you can jeopardise  your Edmark business, she then continued on the importance of Seminars and functions, creating the awareness that it is “lack of knowledge that makes one perish”

DCM Anafo Trinidad was back on stage to speak on “self-talk”; making it a reality that, your perception of yourself has enormous impact on how others perceive you, based on this he also spoke on dream building, the atmosphere was changed and he catapulted everybody present to move to the next and the next level in life it was indeed a goals setting and goals achieving time!

It was indeed a fact that Perception is reality the more self-confidence you have the more; the more likely it is you’ll succeed! Though staying motivated is a struggle, what separates the highly successful is the ability to move forward!

And by learning how to nurture motivating thoughts, neutralize negative ones, and focus on the task at hand, you can pull yourself out of a slump before it gains momentum.

This was what was written on the tablets of the heart of our distributors and guest who attended the seminar, it was indeed a great day!

Thanks so all who made the day a remarkable one and most especially to our speakers DCM Anafo Trinidad and DM Anna De Leon and to our cherished guest and distributors the turnout was encouraging! To the staff (the girls) we say bravo! And to the Almighty God thanks so much! For the success of our first ever impart making GSS (Goals Setting Seminar)! Not forgetting the management of Edmark who made this dream became a reality!!

Edmarker!!! Outstanding!!!

People who have beaten all the odds to find a job or start their own Edmark business had their efforts recognized at a special event which is Social & Recognition Day last January 29, 2012 here in Edmark KK Training Room.

The Social and Recognition Day brought our Leaders, Guests and most especially our Achievers from different places here in Sabah to collect praise for overcoming their distributorship into the next level. The special event was devoted to our newly promoted Senior Distributors up to Ruby Managers for the month of November and December 2011. That was the time to show our appreciation and begin to better understand how Edmark develop distributors to be tomorrow’s leaders in this business.

The event was also supported by our Emerald Manager, Lemuel Cena, live via Skype. He welcomed and congratulated everyone for a good job and reaching that certain position. On the other hand, Crown Manager, Annie De Leon gave her gratifying and heart- warming inspirational message to everyone. She encouraged everybody to just continue the business even though how tough and challenging the business is. The event was very sensational as the Achievers share their gratitude to the company, their uplines, and business partners, that without those people they cannot achieve their positions.

We have promoted Senior Distributors for November namely Joycelyn Solis and Rufina Hipulan, then for December we have Chona Golucino, Ian Joy Tabucalde, Rufina Rodriguez and Mr. & Mrs. Carmelita and Joel Utong. For December Supervisors we got Mr. & Mrs. Jeraldin and Frederico Sanguines and Ms. Lorinee Mahilum. Our promoted Managers for November are Joanna Kitingan and Teresita Solomon, for December we got Manager Naty Doughty. Lastly our New Ruby Manager for the month of December is Mr. & Mrs. Geraldine and Dexter Besa.

Another thing we have celebrated was the Speakers Training Program (STP) Batch 1 Mini Graduation. After the 10 days of rigid training, 13 out of 15 trainees passed the mastery and had the memorable Mini Graduation after the Social Day. With the supervision of CM Annie De Leon and EM Lemuel Cena, surely these 13 would be the foundation of building strong advocates for continues learning and improvement of our Edmark Education System.

Congratulations Achievers and STP Batch 1!

Keep soaring high!

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING IN KOTA KINABALU

By CM ANNA MARIE “ANNIE” DE LEON

It has been a great privilege for me over the past several years to mix and migle with many men and women in numerous areas of society who are successful.  It has always been a fascination as I observe their lives and see why other people would want to follow them.

If ever there was a time in our life when we should be studying the principles of success, it is now.  The great need of the hour is for positive, constructive, dynamic, creative and effective VISION and GOAL SETTING.

Your imagination is one of the most powerful things you possess.  Imagination is your dream machine.  Successful people organise special dream times.  Time to dream BIG dreams.  The tragedy today is that we crush our ability to dream like when we were  growing up as kids.  Real leaders and successful people have never lost that childlike ability to dream dreams.

Helen Keller, that wonderful blind and deaf person, said: “The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision”.

Start dreaming and keep on dreaming.  If your dream ever gets foggy, set some time aside to resharpen your vision.  Have a dream worth dreaming.  Most of us have vast potential that has never been developed simply because we failed to recognise it or the circumstances in our life have never required it.

Goals are vision with feet.  Goals are a set of specific, measurable steps to achieve the vision. When realistic goals are set and met, you will feel satisfied and successful. Train your mind to think and to dream again.  Your mind is like a muscle.  It must be exercised to grow.

Holding the very First Goal Setting Seminar in Kota Kinabalu and in Malaysia last January 15, 2012 with the dynamic EM Lemuel Cena was like waking up the giant to stand, to run and work.  The people were so fired up and enthusiastic.  It seems that the chains of bondage was unleashed.  Now they are ready to fly high and reach their potential.  There was so much excitement among the attendees.

They are now more aware that the world is full or opportunities waiting to be seized.  They are now more courageous to act on their ideas despite the possibility of pain, tears and failure but they say yes to life and decided to reach for their individual goals that they never dreamed of.

No matter what happens in this world, there will be room at the top and there will always be for the pioneers.  To the Edmarkers of Kota Kinabalu, become the leader you’re meant to be and your success becomes inevitable!!!
