Some things to be aware of:
• There is an 18-hour time difference, so you have to be sure you aren’t calling or texting in the middle of the night.
• Emailing is an option but they don’t have ready access to email like we do in North America. They also don’t have
the high speed Internet services we have.
• Generally, texting works best. But you want to have their phone number because it will cost them a lot more
money to text you.
• Be creative about the markets you target. Go through local Associates with connections to the Philippines first.
• They don’t have access to Diamond Pack at this stage, so currently the Super Achiever Pack takes the place of that.
There are many more cultural and logistical differences that an Associate prospecting in the Philippines should be aware
of. We are already seeing amazing growth in the Philippines and want to do everything we can to help with that growth
but we also need to do it right.
When people in the Philippines asked about when we would be opening in their country Jim said he was proud to
say—and hear others say—“When the time was right and we were fully prepared to do so. What we are trying to create
here is a legacy not only for them, but their children and grandchildren,” Jim said. “That’s a big statement. It’s a lot to
live up to. It is an on-going process, but Max is continuing to lay the foundation to make it happen.”
