How and Why We Joined Tavala

How and Why We Joined Tavala

It’s hard to believe that 5 weeks ago, Dave and I were wondering what the heck we were going to do. Business was not going well. The holidays were coming, we were working with 2 network marketing companies… one I had been with for over 10 years (Dave and I had created a large organization in the past 3.5 years with their new division) and the other was a company we found, while searching the internet, back in July.

We found what we have always told other people, it is hard- if not impossible- to ride two horses with one butt (or work effectively with 2 companies….. Problem is, we couldn’t afford to work just one, as neither were covering our basic living expenses.) Things had changed so drastically in the last 2 years and rather than enjoying the momentum of a nicely built organization, instead were were building over and over again. In fact, people were leaving the company faster than they were joining. To say we were desperate is an understatement. Yes we did begin working with another company…but even with that company, as good as it was, the financial growth was slow and offered a part time income, at best.

That ‘memorable’ day back in December we literally were on the couch talking about our future and literally began praying for a solution. We wanted that FIRE back in our bellies….we wanted something where we could make a huge impact, train, coach, mentor and build something beautiful that would help people and would utilize our God given talents. We wanted to represent something that we could be proud of and trust. We were OPEN, we didn’t know what it would look like- but that day we PROMISED God, and we promised each other, that we would be open and walk through all open doors. And then the phone rang.

WHY TAVALA

And this is how we ‘happened’ upon Tavala. Our prayer was answered when we received a phone call from a friend whom we had worked with previously, in a former business. We LISTENED more than TALKED and by the time our conversation was over, we looked at one another and said, THIS IS IT. I have never been at the beginning of a new Network Marketing company launch, but I have known many people who have -and as they became leaders over time, they helped shape the company in many areas….and they became very wealthy. We were up for the challenge. Back in July, we made a list of what was important in any Network Marketing company that we would be affiliated with and put OUR names, reputation and time in. Here is our list:

  1. Passion- Mission & Cause Based
  2. Easy to share product line
  3. Easy to share comp. plan
  4. Strong corporate leadership that we can trust
  5. Ability to create and make a difference within the company
  6. Solid foundation, min. if any ‘changes’
  7. Opportunity to sell in different markets besides USA and North America
  8. Opportunity for rapid growth and advancement
  9. Young but solid company!
  10. Ability to work closely with corporate – not just be a number or distributor.
  11. A company where monthly we can increase retention and have stability and predictability
  12. Never want to apologize or make excuses for the company (i.e. back orders, pre-sales, taste, etc.)
  13. A venue where we can excel as leaders, LEAD, INSPIRE, COACH & TRAIN What if one opportunity could change your life? What if we had not answered the phone or walked through the door?

Tonight, January 10th is the official Virtual Launch of Tavala. We are pleasantly surprised that the Flagship product with Tavala (TRIM) has been so easy to share and sell, and the growth of our team has already far exceeded what we had recently built in 4 months. Everything is in place for LEADERS to be recognized and also created. We hope you take a look at Tavala to see if it is a company and opportunity where you can build & discover your dreams. www.DaveandJoy.com

If you are OPEN and LOOKING for a new home, let’s explore together, to see if Tavala or our team is the right fit for you.

Does Tavala Trim Taste Good?

& Does Tavala Trim Work?

Ever since Tavala Trim launched ( November, 2016) there has been a BUZZ in the weight loss and supplement industry. “New Kid on the Block and it works!!!!!” “New Product Launched that offers QUICK results….you HAVE to try it”!!!, etc. We are talking about Tavala Trim.

Quick Fix

Feeling “something” quickly is perfect for most of us as we in the United States (and beyond) crave things that offer a positive sensation to ones energy, mood and body….quickly. We do, indeed, live in a microwave society, so much that the joke is that people stand in front of the microwave and tell the popcorn to HURRY UP! Yes, I certainly felt a substantial boost in energy within my first 30 minutes of drinking my Tavala Trim… so much so, that day 2 I cut the pack in half and enjoyed 1/2 serving. (If you are like me and sensitive to stimulants, we suggest starting with 1/2 packet on day 1, especially if you have already enjoyed your morning coffee.) Feeling a boost quickly is a positive thing. We all know great products out there, but many have to be consumed for up to 90 days before you actually ‘feel’ something.

Does Tavala Trim Taste Good?

The answer is YES, it tastes good! People can LOVE a product and it can give the results desired (In this case, Energy, Focus, Appetite Suppressant, Metabolism Booster, Weight Loss) but if it doesn’t taste good, people will NOT use it. Period! I know this first hand as a product I recently marketed in 2015 worked for 50% of people who used it but it tasted horrible! One batch in particular had people literally gagging and running for the toilet! Even though many people liked the results – because the taste was undesirable, they would not reorder. Bummer but true.

What does the TRIM taste like?

The Tavala Trim has been compared to tasting like ‘fruity Kool-Aid’ or a delicious berry drink. Someone else said it tasted like a berry tea that she had at Starbucks. Whatever the flavor is, EVERYONE I have spoken with has really enjoyed the flavor. Hallelujah!!!!!

We find mixing the drink and pouring it into a nice glass -rather than in a plastic shaker bottle, seems to taste more enjoyable (not sure why) !! Add ice, or not. Either way we are confident that you will pleasantly enjoy the flavor.

Some people prefer the capsules stating that they can take the capsules in their pocket or purse, swallow in the morning , as they are very quick to take and portable.

Does the Tavala Trim Work? Can you tell me a little about it?

We could talk about Tavala Trim and share testimonials but we we find this short video below does a great job. Simply click on the arrow and enjoy. If YOU are looking for a product to help you lose weight and boost your metabolism you’ll love this. You can also join in a 90 Day Challenge with the company.

If you like what you have read or seen, and would like to try the Tavala Trim there are several options. You can go to www.TryOurSamples.com or www.DaveandJoy.com Not everyone needs to try samples before they buy, but that option is available.

Customer and Members pay the same low price of only $64.99 for a 28-Day supply of Tavala Trim. If you are looking for a business opportunity, we are currently looking for leaders and people who would like to be leaders on our team. Call us 802-846-7530.com or email info@DaveandJoy.com

Does Tavala Trim Work for Energy & Weight Loss?

Does Tavala Trim Work for Energy & Weight Loss?

In November I received a phone call from a friend whom I trust. He was wondering if my husband and I would be interested in trying a new product that his company had recently launched. He was not pitching me on his company or product but honestly wanted our opinion and feedback. Since we have been visible and successful in network marketing we get calls like this often, but there was something about the way we were INVITED to take a look and sample the product, that was honoring and authentic….so we reluctantly said “Sure, send us a Free 7-Day Sample” and we’ll let you know what we think.”

The more I thought about the product, Tavala Trim, the more excited I got to try it as it was during the holiday season and I figured I could use all the help I could get to NOT gain weight between Thanksgiving and New Years. Plus the Ketogenic program I had been on for over a year was NOT working….and I needed help in dropping weight I have gained since menopause.

Due to Thanksgiving the samples arrived a couple of days later than expected and I remember being ANXIOUSLY EXCITED during that weight. Hmmmm, it had been a while since a product had me excited and I found I was getting impatient waiting for our samples to arrive.

When we received our packages in the mail we were VERY impressed with the presentation.

The 7-Day samples were in a beautiful gold envelope – and the interior with the dark purple print looked very ROYAL. I could see the company took pride on the presentation and branding!

The interior opened up with a pocket for the 7 individual samples and instructions on how to use the product for best results. (Simply add content of each pouch to 12-16 ounces of water).

There are products on the market that have a ‘sweet presentation’ but taste horrible or simply do not deliver the results they advertise. I have to say we were VERY impressed with our first experience.

Day 1 we took a full serving size, and since have recommended to people that if they have any sensitivities to natural stimulants, to start with 1/2 package day 1. Within 15 minutes both Dave and I felt more energy- which in a ‘microwave society of wanting a quick fix’ was impressive. Who can’t use a little boost of natural energy or a little more focus, no to mention a boost in metabolism.

The next thing we noticed as the day progressed is we had ZERO hunger….and ZERO cravings. We drank a lot more water throughout the day (good benefit) and the energy boost sustained through the entire day. I am sensitive to most things that offer energy but this was different. It was an even-keel energy that had no crash effects. I slept well that night as well.

Our enjoyment of the product prompted a conversation with our friend and we began to share samples freely with our friends who we thought would appreciate the benefits we were experiencing with the Tavala Trim. To our delight, over 1/2 the people I personally messaged on Facebook or called, wanted to try a sample!!!!!

Flash forward 3 weeks and approximately 30% of the people who have actually opened and tried their samples have become customers or members. That is a HIGH percentage and I know with correct follow up it will improve to the 50% mark…. NOT because I am a good sales person- but because people are LOVING the TAVLA TRIM. What I also love is customers and members pay the same price, and their is No Joining Fee. This allows people to enjoy this product at their own pace, with no pressure.

Don’t take MY word (or the people who shared the below testimonials) give Tavala Trim a Try.

Visit www.JoinDaveandJoy.com and click on FREE SAMPLES and fill in your information.

“By the way I lost 5 lbs. in a week and still went to 2 parties”! J.E.

“The week before Christmas is hard on a teacher. All those delicious treats staff and students bring you…ugh. So, I thought I’d get through by starting my sample this week. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that my plateau has finally budged. Two days in and I’m 2.75lbs down”. E.H.

“Flavor and consistency of taste. Definitely the Tavala Trim curbs hunger and provides consistent energy-no crash and I can also tell you I am not hungry. I also slept really well.” M.P.

“Day 1, I noticed a huge increase in energy within 15 minutes of drinking the Tavala Trim, and it lasted all day. An increase in energy and focus and no desire to eat sweets- with the holidays here, what a perfect time to enjoy the Trim.” D.J.E.

“I like it.. (Tavala Trim) I have great energy w/o the crash. I’ll stay informed via your Facebook page. I’ll order some soon. Cheers!” M.O.

“A friend’s husband drives Fed. Ex trucks and is using the Tavala Trim to help with energy and focus – rather than relying on unhealthy energy drinks or coffee throughout the night.”

“Day 2 I attended a Christmas Party and was among all kinds of sweets and treats. I was totally in control of my eating and I know the Tavala Trim was the reason! I enjoyed looking at the food but had no desire to binge, like I usually do. I have already dropped a couple of pounds.” D.J.

“I am down to only 1 coffee a day- no need to have my afternoon Starbucks to pull me out of my afternoon slump. I am loving the Tavala Trim AND it tastes good!” J.W.

“We moved on Saturday and I drank the Tavala Trim around 10:30 in the morning. I had so much energy throughout the day- settled into our house late and night and had NO hunger throughout the day. I had a shake for dinner and can tell, in only 5 days I have lost inches and my clothes are getting baggier.” D.E.

“A friend has been using the Tavala Trim for 4 weeks and has lost 20 pounds. This is the only thing they have been doing different…. this works!!!” G.H.

“Down 12 lbs. in 2 weeks”…and this is BEFORE the New Year. Tavala Trim Works!

…..and the feedback that we are getting DAILY exceeds those above.

We are looking for LEADERS to join our team. If that is you, Please contact us with a time that is good for you to see if what we have with TAVALA is the right fit for you.

The Tavala Opportunity- Vemma Law Compliant- and why we joined NOW!

The Tavala Opportunity- Vemma Law Compliant: and why We joined NOW!

One thing we know for sure….

No one wants to waste their time or spin their wheels with any company- network marketing or otherwise, that is not creating the income-or lifestyle they want and deserve! So True, and also no one wants to put effort into a business only to have it shut down because of non-compliance, similar to what happened with the company called VEMMA.

We recently resigned from a company we had been for over a decade because we found something REALLY exciting and worth pursuing on a full time basis…. and quite different from anything else out there in the VAST ‘MLM WORLD’. We jumped in with both feet and are already creating a fast building team with others who are ready for something new in the MLM Industry.

Tavala launched in 2016 and caught our attention for the following reasons:

  • Proven leadership, we have worked with several of the corporate staff and believe in their abilities, their straight up honesty and the financial backing of the owners.
  • Great Products….both existing and what is coming in the very near future.
  • Product coming in January similar to, but superior to, a product we have built a business with in the past.
  • Sampling company. When new products are available, Tavala wants you to experience a sample to decide if you want to become a customer or a member. As a member you get 5 FREE samples to share, and after that, your samples are available to purchase for only $5.00 each.
  • The above makes it an easy company/product/opportunity to share….after all, most people do not like to sell OR be sold.
  • Same price for Customers and Members
  • No Joining Fee
  • Tavala will NOT promote or sell any products that are not yet on the shelves in their warehouse
  • Tavala promises to under promise and over deliver!
  • Tavala is a “subscription” business. You don’t need to be on an autoship and can still earn income by customers volume. (In their own word: Tavala is the direct sales subscription box company who offers unique, consumable products that are good for your body, both inside and out. A personalized subscription box where you choose the products, the price point, and how often you receive them.)
  • 20% on the first level payout, 25% on the second, and 25% on the third level. It is a uni-level compensation plan and is set up so people can have fast success. Go to www.DaveandJoy.com for details on the company and compensation plan.

We are looking for LEADERS to run with….beside, not in front or behind. If you are open and looking for a new home, and want to explore Tavala with us, give us a call to schedule a time for an authentic conversation to see if this is the right fit for you.

Can Changing MLM Companies Be Like a Divorce?

I recently heard the analogy that “Changing MLM Companies Can Be Like a Divorce.”

For those out there who have been divorced, you may know how difficult it can be terminating a relationship, ESPECIALLY one where you still care for or even love. But being true to yourself you know that in your heart, that the relationship is no longer the best or healthiest relationship for you to be in and you make the painful change.

The same can apply to loving a company you have been with in the Network Marketing industry, perhaps one you have been in with many years. At some point, there may be a time that your goals and visions shift, or that you need to make more residual income and you find some other company that is a better fit.

network marketing and work placeThis doesn’t mean that you don’t still love the ‘old company’, or that you don’t still love their products (or even recommend them) or don’t like the corporate staff that was like family….. or your team you developed….it’s just that at this stage in YOUR life you must follow your own path- whatever that looks like and wherever that leads.

I could never understand it when friends got divorced and found they had to split up their mutual friends! I have seen people take sides and true friendships even completely dissolve. This happened years ago when my ex-husband and his business partner split ways. All of a sudden the “other husband” then forbid his wife to continue being my close friend….and the sad thing is she listened to him. It took me years to get over that feeling of betrayal.decisions-decisions

So why is it that in most any other profession- other than Network Marketing- if you change jobs people wish you well, rather than try to tear you down on your decision? If you are working as a teacher in a school that is an hour from your home, earning $40,000 a year and get an offer to work for a school 10 minutes from your house earning $62,000 a year what would you do? You’d probably take the job with higher pay, closer to your home. How silly would it be to make your friend feel horrible for their decision? or to stop being their friend?divine discontent

One thing I have admired with many friends in Network Marketing is they have built and maintained friendships no matter what company they are with. This means their lives are RICH in ways due to the sharing of ideas with others, championing their successes and staying in touch with those people you enjoy being with regardless if you are their up-or down line!!!! Dave and I call them “Hot Tub Friends.” (People you’d enjoy spending time with in a hot tub, with an adult beverage!)

Now that I have played with this analogy I can see why some people feel like changing companies is like a divorce. It hurts….and it doesn’t have to. If you are looking for a new home you can visit www.MLMTweeners.com or give us a call. I’d love to add YOUR story to that website as I believe it can help many people in THEIR journey!5I3I6962_pp20x20

Mad Money for Momma- My First Try…

Mad Money for Momma- “my first try”

Hey fellow ladies and Mommas….

How many of you believe that having your own Monthly “Mad Money” is important & even critical for Momma’s Happiness and Well-being?

women-round-table-5

AND if the answer IS YES…..

yesWhat amount of mad money would make YOU happy? $$$$

Here’s my ‘story’….which I’ll call TAKE 1- as it was my first attempt at having my own “MAD MONEY”.

Back in the late 1980’s I was a single mom working part time in sales at a local health club when a friend approached me and convinced me with multiple praises that with my outgoing personality, number of contacts and sphere of influence that I have- that I would be PERFECT for her home based-woman only company. I don’t recall the details of the conversation much but I recall her saying that with VERY LITTLE TIME OR EFFORT I COULD EARN at least $300 a month- which is what I thought would be IDEAL FOR MY MAD MONEY ACCOUNT. I got excited!

3d characters isolated on white background series

I imagined the good life with ‘extras’ including travel or just plain ol’ MAD MONEY to buy whatever I want without pulling from my tight budget. Hmmm, lunch out more often, a pedicure or manicure, a good bottle of wine, new underwear and bras, a new fitness outfit, etc.

 

Although I am not a fan of “home parties” -nor do I care a hoot about make up or skin care, the allure of having my own mad money for just me– got me excited. I couldn’t even imagine having money that didn’t have to go towards the typical “gas, food and clothing” or my kids ‘stuff’.

I had NO IDEA how to begin to earn this MAD MONEY but trusted my friend 100% so when she suggested I buy the largest pack (saying I needed product in my ‘make believe store front’ from which to sell from (inventory) I believed that her recommendation to start with a $2400 pack was the BEST way to go! I also was convinced it was the quickest to earning the maximum amount of income in the shortest time. (In my mind, the fewest parties I had to host or travel to homes of others who wished to have a party, the better) I should have known I was doomed at that moment….but I did not.

I remember thinking that there was no way I had that kind of money, but as a young entrepreneur who was “coachable and trainable” (the ideal in this industry!) I actually took her advice and went to a local bank, took out a loan to start my “home based business”. I didn’t even have credit back then as I had always paid cash for everything so my ex-husband co-signed the loan.

When my BUSINESS arrived by truck- all I remember was the size of the BOX!!!! – it was huge, and most of the items in it were the color pink!

mary-kay

My friend, Barb, was good at what she did and helped me with two of my own ‘parties’. We did the facial thing around the tables, dabbled with colors and then she handed out the order forms to all the guests- my friends- who were there. To my surprise, people bought things and some bought quite a lot of ‘trinkets’ to make themselves beautiful! I think I earned at least $200 per party of a total of $400 PROFIT. WOW, Mad Money for Momma had come true.

I was in heaven…. until the reality hit- I did not LIKE what it took to be successful with this kind of home business. I remember wishing I was selling something health related, like fitness equipment, or fitness clothing instead. It didn’t take long for me to decide it was not for me so I sold off half of the inventory at my cost to friends and shipped the remaining product back to the company for a partial refund. Whew- I was done with THAT experience!!!!

True be told, I wasn’t mad at my friend Barb. She went on to be quite successful at HER home based business, winning “pins” and jewelry and even trips…. working part time. And I was happy for her. But this experience gave me a taste of what was possible! I got hooked on the idea of MAD MONEY FOR MOMMA and years later, got involved in a nutritional Network Marketing Company that was a good fit for me…..and I did earn MAD MONEY- only more!!!!

As I look back on my first attempt for MAD MONEY without a traditional JOB I recall how excited I got and I never lost that flame of hope for another way of earning my MAD MONEY.

When I first signed joined this company all I needed to be ecstatic was $300 a month. That’s it! And today, with decades of knowledge under my belt, and the industry of Network Marketing allowing this to be possible, I enjoy helping other MOMMAS out there create their mad money.

Fill in the blanks: How much MAD MONEY would make YOU excited to have each month? ________

What would you SPEND IT ON???? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you are looking for a way to generate YOUR OWN MAD MONEY, I highly recommend a book written by a friend and mentor, Kimmy Brooke, called the FOUR YEAR CAREER FOR WOMEN. It is fun, light, educational, funny, and easy read and interactive. One thing the book stresses is to find something you are passionate about- something you will use/buy and recommend even if you are not earning money.

For those of you who are open to looking at our business, we are giving away Free Digital copies of The Four year Career for Women. You will love this book. Either connect directly with us at info@DaveandJoy.com or go to Amazon and order your copies today!
