Endorsement
of Australian Longevity products by Ryan
Bayley
We
are pleased to announce that Ryan Bayley,
one of our cycling heroes and winner of
two gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics
will be supporting Australian Longevity
products. Ryan will be involved with various
promotions for the company and will be
assisting us to improve sales as well
as raising the public’s awareness of the
company and its products.
This
is exciting stuff and we can see good
opportunities for the company to steadily
improve its sales and potentially we may
be able to obtain endorsements from other

products of first choice by athletes in
general. We will keep you informed as
we develop promotions with Ryan.

Australian
Longevity Fundraising for the Tsunami
Tragedy
For
those in the Sydney area, we are holding
a Trivia Night on Friday 29 April at the
Castle Hill premises. As you are aware
the tsunami was a terrible tragedy and
the staff here want to do something that
will help, in any way. A trivia night
was suggested as being a good way to fundraise
for the Australian Red Cross for this
worthy cause and gives us the opportunity
to get distributors and their friends
together for a fun night.
Cost
is $20 per head or $35 per couple (it’s
a fundraiser don’t forget and all proceeds
will go to the Red Cross) and we will
start at 7.30pm. We will also have items
for auction and there will be various
prizes awarded throughout the night for
the trivia winners. Light refreshments
and nibbles will be provided. BYO alcohol.
To
enable us to plan catering, seating etc
I would appreciate if you could contact
us asap on 1800 756 467 and let us know
if you can make it and how many are coming.
Payments for the event need to be received
no later than 15 th April and you can
pay by cheque to Australian Longevity
or directly deposit our account at the
ANZ at Castle Hill 012263 – 109266646
Come
along and join the fun. It will be a good
night and it will help those who really
need it.

about changes and other issues and news
that may affect distributors and this
is your opportunity to ask all the questions
you want.
More
importantly though, we will now have guest
speakers. This will generally be our leading

their successes with their business and
how everyone can achieve their health
and business goals. These distributors
have accumulated a lot of valuable information

really want to make the Australian website
distinctly our own and have as much local
input as practical. Having our own recipes
and product antidotes is a good way for
us to be distinctive. As mentioned last
month we would like to set up our own
recipe page on the Australian website
and include your recipes on upcoming newsletters.
This would generate a lot of interest
among distributors to see what can be
done with the products as additional flavours
and health benefits into your cooking.
So why not let us know your recipes and
we will post them for everyone to try.

- 2005 Distributor Survey
Thank
you to everyone who has responded to our
survey and for those of you who haven’t,
we value your input so why not complete
one for us. Ultimately what we get back
directly helps you. I would like all completed
survey forms back to me quickly, so that
we can start reviewing the responses.
UPDATE
- MLM Australia Magazine
This
good looking and informative magazine,
now available at all newsagents. For those
who may have missed the March edition,
Australian Longevity placed a full page
ad on the inside cover. We plan to contribute
editorials and product information regularly.
This monthly magazine has been developed
for the network and direct marketing industry
and distributors will find the content
very useful. The articles cover lots of
different MLM issues and contain all sorts
of tips and suggestions from successful
MLM marketers and motivational people.
It’s a good source of training material.
You could also consider advertising yourself
here as a means of improving your business.
We
are also looking at stories that we can
contribute. For now we would be interested
in any stories you may have regarding
meeting partners through MLM. Also any
photos and events that you may want to
send us would be welcome and may be printed
in future editions of the magazine. Send
what you have to Annie Kimmings.
UPDATE
– Events in 2005
Planning
is underway to host a number of regional
and area distributor gatherings. This
will be a good opportunity for us to get
distributors together in areas outside
Sydney and for us to meet everyone. Our
goal for 2005 is to meet all Diamond and
Warehouse managers and as many of the
various downlines as we can. We have also
started working on the Distributor conference
to be held in Sydney later in the year.
More details to come as we work them out.
NEW
– Australian Air Express Couriers
Australian
Longevity now utilizes the above company
for the majority of its deliveries. The
previous courier arrangements were not
consistent , nor satisfactory and unfortunately
it meant that some deliveries were not
being done on a timely basis. Delivery
of your orders, undamaged and on time
is a priority for us and to ensure that
we offer the best service possible to
you we have now moved to a more reliable
service. Already we are seeing orders
being delivered by the new couriers in
half the time which is very pleasing and
encouraging. I know that you will also
be keeping a watch on these deliveries
and we would like to know of any incidents
where the service was not satisfactory.
UPDATE
- CODEX (reprinted from the previous newsletter)
A
number of distributors have been concerned
with recent developments concerning Codex
and what it means for our products. This
has been assessed by the regulatory body
that assists us with numerous issues.
Their advice is that Codex effects dietary
supplements that are not therapeutic
goods. It does not affect dietary
supplements in Australia as these are
regulated as therapeutic goods. Codex
for Australian Longevity products is not
an issue. For Australian Longevity products
that are classed as foods, Codex is still
not an issue until the food standards
are changed. At this time and for the
foreseeable future Australia has comprehensive
food standards which already take into
account many of the issues raised by Codex.
As such, it is unlikely that the food
standards would sufficiently change.Issues
like this tend to raise anxiety amongst
distributors and I would appreciate your
assistance in ensuring that this message
does get out to as many distributors as
possible.
REMINDER
- Advertising Guidelines
The
previously distributed facts regarding
advertising criteria that distributors
must use have been produced to benefit
you and your business. Any variations
away from these guidelines are not beneficial
to either yourself or the company. Distributors
must abide by the guidelines and any help
you can provide me to continue to get
this message out is appreciated. I also
maintain a register of all websites relating
to Australian Longevity products and/or
Dr Wallach. This enables me to undertake
audits of the sites and to assist distributors
should any errors be found. I need you
to email me at meddy@alglobal.com
with details of all websites (as
above) that you are responsible for. Also
if you are aware of websites that do not
appear to be adhering to guidelines, please
let me know.
REMINDER
- TAX
I
am happy to discuss any tax issue relating
to your Australian Longevity business.
Please note that I am not an accountant
and I cannot give general tax advice.
What I can provide is an understanding
of how tax affects your commission payments
and the documentation that you and your
downlines need to have in place to take
the best advantage of what the tax laws
allow. In complete confidence, please
ring me on 1800 756 467.
REMINDER
