1. Opening/Why Hey, how’s it going guys. My name is Christian Torres. I’m from a small town called Tehachapi, CA. I went to Bakersfield College for 3 years and I transferred San Diego State this fall. I could not be more excited. New city, new people, new opportunities. Well during this summer, I was presented an opportunity that I can honestly say changed my life and my way of thinking. I was presented an opportunity that will not only allow myself to be time and financially free, but eliminate worry from my family forever. You know, I want to retire my parents and help pay off my sister’s law school debt and so on.
But, if you’re new on the call tonight I encourage you to keep an open mind to the concept we’re going to present to you. It’s going to sound different and new because it is different and new. That concept is social network marketing, now known as affiliate marketing. It’s something we’re already doing and it’s something we’re already REALLY good at. Everyone is social. Everyone has a network of people in their lives. And everyone markets themselves everyday whether it’s the clothes you where, the car you drive, or the people you hang out with. And after the call tonight, get your questions answered. Our goal here is to simply educate and present an opportunity that is ALREADY WORKING and literally changing thousands of kids’ lives across the country!
***************(PLAY VIDEO)***************
2. Economy Story So today, we’re in the new economy. The old economy says that we have to go to school, get good grades, get a good paying job with benefits, work the next 40 years of our life, and retire with 40% of our income. That’s the old economy. In the NEW economy, people are learning how to actually make money. 3% of the population owns 97% of all the money. And with no disrespect, that means most of our moms, dads, teachers, professors, and friends literally don’t know how to make money. Who’re you taking your financial advice from? It’s something we all have to ask ourselves. Are you taking advice from your college professor that’s teaching you how to become an Entrepreneur but is only making 50k a year? No. He would be doing it if he really knew how! We’re going to teach you how to be part of the 3% because Network marketing is the second highest paid profession in entire world behind professional athletics. But if you want to learn how to do something, you should probably learn from someone who’s already doing it. If you want to learn how to play basketball, learn from Michael Jordan. Soccer; David Beckham. Me, I’m taking advice from a 23 year old named Patrick Comer who’s making around $300k a year in this thing and he’s teaching me how to do it EVERY step of the way. He’s already doing it! And there’s a PROVEN SYSTEM. All I have to do is follow it and I’m going to get the same result. The truth is that 53% of college students who graduate with a 4-year degree are either unemployed or underemployed. That’s crazy! That’s a flip of the coin. This means that if we split this room in half, one half would get the job they wanted, and the other half is either unemployed or working a minimum waged job. That’s pretty scary but guys, but that’s where our economy is in today’s society. We are FORCED to look at something different.
So I’m gonna talk about something that’s called the YPR. It’s a movement of young people who understand this and are educating our friends on what is going on as well as showing them how in the 21st century the safest most secure thing you can do is earn a residual income. Something that will pay you over and over again for something you do one time. Getting a job in the economy today is not safe and secure because people are becoming obsolete. Technology is replacing people, and those jobs that were once there in the past are literally NEVER coming back.

3. YPR
I could not be more excited to be a part of the YPR. It’s the Young People Revolution. It’s a movement of young people taking charge of their financial future. It’s introducing a different mindset of how to make money. You don’t have to go and work at a minimum waged job because there are usually 4 things that people complain about in their jobs: They don’t like the hours they work, being bossed around, the people they work with, and how much they get paid. Well with the YPR & the vehicle Vemma, all of that gets erased completely. You set your own hours, no one tells you what to do, you work with the people you want to work with, and you determine your own income. Who wouldn’t want a job like that? This is a revolution because this has never been done before. Everybody has dreams and goals in life. Some people use their jobs as a vehicle to get where they want to be and some use school as a vehicle. We are simply using Vemma and the YPR movement as another vehicle to get where we want to go in life.
4. Vemma Story So VEMMA is a health and wellness company that started in 2005 by a guy named Bk Boreyko out of Scottsdale Arizona. He has 6 kids lost both of his parents to health-related illnesses; 1 to heart disease and the other to brain cancer. He took his loss very hard and his number one goal in life is to make sure no one goes through anything like that. So what he did was teamed up with a Doctor named EB Wang to create a formula that would push such diseases further back. So when Vemma started, they came out with a 2 oz. liquid supplement that does just that.
5. Products
Vemma is actually an acronym. It stands for Vitamins, Essential Minerals, Mangosteen, and Aloe Vera. You get vitamins A-E (the full 12-vitamins spectrum), 65 plant-based minerals, Mangosteen which is an anti-cancer super fruit found in Southeast Asia clinically studied to reduce inflammation & boost your immune system, and Aloe Vera which helps with the health of our outer shell like hair, skin, and nails. So Bk got immediate success with this formula but it was only geared to the older demographic. Let’s face it, what kid cares about vitamins?! I know I don’t. So Bk wanted to get this product into the hands of young people because he realized that’s where all the money is. He realized that young people are already spending money on Redbull, Rockstar, Monster, Starbucks, Gatorade, Powerade, and 5-hour energy. So what he did was take that 2 oz. Vemma supplement, mixed it with an organic tea blend, purified water, and guarana seed extract (which is natural caffeine so you don’t get the shakes or jitters) and created the world’s first healthy energy drink. VERVE. If you guys haven’t tried it, it’s amazing. I have like 2 every single day because it’s so amazing. And since our demographic nowa days is all about energy on the go, this product made perfect sense to me. Vemma also has weight loss products in the BODE line that was created by a guy named Chris Powell who actually has his own TV show on ABC called Extreme Makeover Weight-loss Edition.
6. Credibility
There is sooooo much credibility that backs this company. Verve is the official drink of the Phoenix Suns. Michael Jordan is a brand partner and endorses our product. Dr. Oz, which is Oprah Whinfrey’s doctor, has promoted Verve on his TV show. He says if you drink a Verve with a handful of almonds that it’s literally the healthiest thing you can put in your body. Coca Cola actually tried to buy Vemma for $2.2 billion this year but Vemma hasn’t even hit a billion dollars yet! Also a guy named Anthony Powell, who was one of THE TOP income-earners in similar company making over $300K per month, decided to QUIT that and join Vemma because he knows it’s the next big thing. But guys, I’m really really excited for what Vemma has done for me so far and even more excited for what it can do for you if you’re new on this call whether it be from a financial standpoint, a wellness standpoint, or even both!
-So right now I’m gonna turn it back over to Kyle Cavasos to explain the concept and how this thing can work for the newest person.
7. Concept So the way this works is very very simple. It’s all word-of-mouth advertising. It’s doing something we do every single day; we just don’t know we’re doing it. If you go see a movie at the movie theater, what’s the first thing you do? Go tell your friend about it and then they go see it. They’re going to trust your judgment. But you just made that movie money and that movie theater money. Where’s your part of the check? See what Bk Boreyko discovered was that traditional forms of advertising are dying. No one watches commercials on TV, we just fast-forward through them or we’re on our phone not paying attention. YouTube videos; we all wait for the 5- 4- 3- 2- 1 SKIP! because who wants to watch a commercial or advertisement? Does anyone remember the last thing they saw on a Billboard? No, because either no one cares or we’re all just texting and driving. Redbull spent $900 million on advertisements last year to promote their product. I don’t know about you, but watching Shawn White do flips or sending a guy to Space doesn’t make me want to go buy a Redbull. So since traditional forms of advertising are dying, why not pay the people who are actually consuming the product. Pay people to do what they already do; talk to one another. It’s really that easy.
8. How to get Paid So how we get paid is very very simple as well. Instead of paying for commercials and advertisements, Vemma takes half of the annual revenue and gives it to Brand Partners like you and I to advertise for them. Verve will never be in stores. You’ll never see it in Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, gas stations, Vons, ANYWHERE! Why? Because it’s all word-of-mouth advertising. We get paid to tell our friends about it. So there’s 2 main ways we get paid in Vemma: One is through fast cash and the other is a residual income. Fast cash is really cool because when you get a friend on board, you’re going to make $20 right away or $100 right away. I know my buddy John Will made $1700 dollars his FIRST WEEK in Vemma. That’s amazing! Don’t get me wrong, you can make a lot of money with Fast cash, but that’s not the big picture. The big picture is residual income, what I mentioned earlier. It’s income that pays you over and over and over for something you do one time. I’m still getting paid to this day for the first hours I put into Vemma, which is awesome! When Adam Sandler made the movie Billy Madison, he did that one time. Now every time that movie gets played or it’s bought on Amazon, he’s gonna get paid for it. That’s exactly what THIS is! We get paid for doing something one time. This is not like trading dollars for hours like the average part time jobs. It’s about creating an asset that will generate income for you. Instead of working for your money, your money works for you.
9. Getting Started Alright so the way you get started is very simple. There aren’t any start-up fees, activation fees, or termination fees. All you do is order product for yourself and become a consumer of it. Whether it’s Verve, Vemma, or Bod.e, you get a free business, a free website, back office, and a free app on your smartphone. Buying a silver pack is really the only way to get started. You get 7 cases of product discounted and you are able to become car-qualified. Once you hit just the 4th rank in the business (Diamond), Vemma sends you an additional check in the mail to pay for a BMW or Mercedes Benz. On top of getting car qualified, you’re able to participate in what’s called the Frenzy bonus. If you get 3 people who see what you and I see and get them on board in 1 week, you’re going to make $700 that week. So the silver pack is great to get started with. You can get car qualified and participate in the frenzy bonus.
10. Big Picture So in closing, this thing is getting really REALLY big with or without ANY of us. My question is how long do you want to wait before YOU get on? Because I guarantee this isn’t the last time you’re going to be hearing about this. This is like hearing about Facebook when it first started. Vemma is just getting started guys! There are only 150,000 people doing Vemma on Planet Earth. You know how many people live in San Diego alone? Over 4 MILLION!! You don’t have to be smart to make money. You have to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Right now is that time guys. We are the most socially connected people ever. We all have Facebook, Instagram, vine, twitter, and MySpace if you’re still using it. If you want something different, you have to do something different. Social network marketing is working. It’s working and there’s NOTHING anyone can do to contest that. You’re either in, you want to make a lot of money, or you’re out, you’re going to go make a resume and BEG someone to hire you. There are three types of people in this world and unfortunately you’re one of them. There are people who watch things happen or there are people who say…. what the hell just happened? And then there’s my favorite type of people who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN…. Which one are you?
Thank you. ~Edify upline, oovoo success, close prospects. BOOM~

OBJECTIONS
“Don’t understand” – First day at a new job, did you understand everything right away? NO
“Don’t believe it” – There are people already doing it. Proven system.
“No time” – Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. NO ONE HAS TIME.
“No money” – Make a decision. Can’t let the lack of money keep you from earning money. This is built for broke people!

...you define religion and what constitutes of religion? E: I think religion is a set of belief that is followed by an individual that according to him probably leads to a Supreme Being or power. What constitutes it, ummm… lets say: faith, belief. It serves as a moral compass for human beings. It is a sort of guideline. For me there are two extremes: heaven and hell. Hell indicates the bad and heaven is for the good. The preacher who actually came up with this idea wanted us to maintain the delicate balance and stay in the center. So yeah, it is a guideline for me. G: it is probably a way of life. Our faith tells us how to live our life, keeping in mind the afterlife M: And what constitutes it? G: my religion has five basic pillars: shahada (faith) which is the declaration stating that there is only one god, the Allah, the creator of all beings; salat (prayer); charity; fasting and pilgrimage. G: i think it is a way to live our life E: yeah, but that’s kind of subjective as, I mean we don’t actually worship any type of god.

You could scream at him with 20 mega-phones lined up like you were Bart Simpson but all he could hear was that majestic heavily upgraded W16 8 litre quad turbocharged engine. My phone rang. “Hey I’ll catch up Jacob give me a sec.” I picked it up. “Hello?” “Hey Jeremy.” a deep voice echoed. “Yeah, uh, who’s this?” The voice was extremely deep. You would expect if it went any lower than only Alligators and Crocodiles could hear him. “How much you got on you?” “Uh, like 10 bucks why? And you aren’t answering my question bruh. Who are you?” In the background I heard a voice. “Is that Jeremy!” The voice was quivering and sounded extremely nervous. It was a man’s voice of whoms sounded at a high level of familiarity. “Jeremy!” The voice screamed sounding out of breath. “Listen to what he says!” screamed the voice. “That’s right Robert.” the mysterious voice said. “Robert… Robert….” I said to myself.

FADE TO BLACK. INT. SARAH’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT SARAH HENSON, 18, tosses aside some brown wrapping paper and a red ribbon as she sits cross-legged on the white carpeted floor, leaning back against the bottom portion of a brown leather sofa.

CHRIS TAYLOR, 18, is lying on the floor across from her, stretched out on his side. His brown hoody has specks and smears of dried paint on it. So do his black jeans.
