In a survey of 3,500 people, a University of Connecticut team discerned that 34 percent of Americans trying to lose weight are using supplements - an encouraging indicator for the dietary supplement industry.

The survey, funded by pharmaceutical giant Glaxo Smith Kline, was conducted nationwide from November 2005 to January 2006. Nearly half of the respondents, or 1,444 people, said they had made a serious attempt to lose weight at some point in time for at least three days. Of these, approximately one third said they used supplements while only 15 percent used prescription drugs.

The results are encouraging for Nutraceutical Manufacturers: Use of Dietary Supplements and Herbal Products came in third place, behind self-directed exercise( 90%) and dieting (72%).

Here are some ideas to help set your business up for success.

First of all, try to stand out from the masses. Make the benefits of doing business with you so powerful, that your potential customers and recruits will see you clearly as the best choice for their sponsor. This is especially important if you want to successfully recruit people long-distance where you may not have the advantage of being able to speak to them face-to-face. You need to have a strong offer that really will convince them that YOU are the person they should do business with.

One thing you have probably experienced over and over, is receiving those information packs in the mail from a company or distributor who may not think that it is important to tell you who they are and why they are sending this information. They do not include a letter or note introducing themselves. They just throw a bunch of company sales literature in an envelope, stick their name and phone number on the back and expect that to do the trick. What a waste! With no personal letter or note and no information as to why they should consider you as a potential sponsor, how can they make an informed decision about whether this is a great opportunity? What happens if you don't follow-up with a phone call, letter, or e-mail (This happens 95% of the time)? Most likely they will toss that expensive package of sales literature and keep looking for something better!

Always send out a personalized letter with your information packages. Tell them your story. This will help make you more "real" to your prospects and customers and help them get to know you. People like to do business with people they know and like—do everything you can to make an emotional contact with them.

A common difficulty for people building businesses is learning how to market their business effectively. Getting the company literature and becoming familiar with the products is just the beginning. You need to really spend some time crafting a dynamic marketing system that gets results. You could start by targeting one or two niche markets. Develop a marketing campaign designed to get their attention. What's a good niche? Here are some ideas to get you started: stay at home moms, downsized middle managers, women, men, practitioners, baby boomers, seniors— you may want to pick a niche that you are a part of. This may make it easier for you to figure out what that group's needs and wants are.

Think service! Put yourself in your prospect's shoes and think of all the ways you can help them succeed in their business, and then do them! If you help your people succeed and reach their goals, then you will be successful too.
