When it comes to electric cigarettes you are definitely spoilt for choice with an ever-increasing number of brands appearing daily online…..or are you?

The fact is, that if you look close enough you will discover that many of the brands that you see online are in fact the same product manufactured in China by an ever increasing group of chinese factories cheaply branded to look like different products. In fact anyone with as little as $10,000 can set up their own brand and off you go! As the competition increases, for what is expected to be a $50 billion dollar indusrty over the next 5 years, the warning signals should start to go off about how some manufacturers continue to undercut the costs in the industry.

As an independent distributor for the Inlife product range, which includes the Elite, Prestige, Royale & Regal in the US and the Elite & Marquee in the UK, I know I will sleep soundly at night in the knowledge that the company I have associated with are the leaders in terms of the product they are producing.

When it comes to a product that you are ingesting into your body, do you really want to be opting for the cheapest product you can find?

Or would it be wiser to spend a little extra up front to get something you can trust?

Of course what I am talking about are the nicotine refills To my knowledge, Inlife are the only electronic cigarette company that provides refill cartriges that are:

1. Synthetic Nicotine as opposed to tobacco extracted nicotine.

2. Made from Pharmeceutical grade materials in a FDA,(Food & drug Administration) registered laboratory.

The first point may sound a little technical. What is the difference between synthetic & tobacco extracted nicotine and why is it important?

The problem with tobacco extracted nicotine lies in the trace elements that are left behind from the process. It has been proven that nitrosamines and other carcinogens found in tobacco are not completely seperated when nicotine is extracted from tobacco. Synthetic nicotine production from non tobacco sources costs more but is preferable to ensure you are achieving the goal of an electronic cigarette…to give the smoking experience without the harmful carcinogens associated with tobacco.

The second point goes right to the issues you may read about the electric cigarette industry. The primary concern being voiced by many electronic cigarette opponents is that because the industry is unregulated, it is impossible to know what exactly is in the refill cartridges supplied from China. We all remember the issues with cheap childrens toys that were found to contain lead and more recently the problems with Chinese milk.

As some-one who is now a full time member of this industry I have to say they have a point.

That is why, when I came across a company that was light years ahead of the game and that offerred a business opportunity to participate in this industry, I jumped at it. Inlife made the choice to lead the industry and to date are the only company I know of that uses an FDA registered laboratory (Japanese owned) and pharmeceutical grade materials to produce their synthetic nicotine refills.

This alone was enough to convince me. but there was more…

Inlife has reinvested in development which now means the batteries supplied by Inlife are so good they will last at least a year. If you have tried other cheaper e-cigs, you will know that batteries are probably the most unreliable aspect of electronic cigarettes. At an average $10-$15 to replace, the cost of replacing a battery a month soon adds up over time.

In conclusion, you may think that because I became an Inlife distributor that I am naturally biased. And I am!

But my bias is based on the facts which I researched meticulously before entering this industry and deciding who to choose as a partner. My research led me to one conclusion….and here I am today.

inLife products have not been certified by the Food and Drug Administration or the Office of the Surgeon General to be used for smoking cessation purposes. To purchase inLife products or sign up a distributor, you must be the legal age of smoking in your state or older

The Inlife smoking devices are not FDA approved cessation devices for stopping smoking and it should be noted that Inlife make no claims, statements or innuendos that their products can be used to quit smoking nor do they make any statements or innuendos that their products diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, mitigate or offer any therapeutic value

As a new Independent Distributor, one of my first adventures was to enroll a local tobacco shop.  The thought was that a tobacco store was a perfect place to show and sell these amazing devices.  The potential sales of units and cartridges could be significant, I thought.  But, as it turned out, network marketing and trying to sell through a traditional retail process are not a good fit.

There are several inherent problems with enrolling a local retailer:

1.    Most retailers don’t want to be bothered with the process enrolling customers that come in.  And customers usually don’t want to spend the time to have all their information put into the computer (assuming the retailer even has one in the store) so they can go on line themselves and order products.  That’s why they’re going to a retailer in the first place.  Their objective is to stop in, pay, and take home.

2.    Most retailers don’t have the knowledge or the time to explain to a customer about the incredible financial opportunity of being an Independent Distributor.  More importantly, the retailer doesn’t want to “lose his customers” and have them go out and sell to other potential customers that might otherwise have come into their store.  Retailers are retailers, and they really don’t understand the power of network marketing.

3.    Having a local retailer that sells the inLife products, even at a mark up over suggested retail, makes it difficult for Independent Distributors working that area.  A prospect can be lost because they say, “Why go through all this, when I can just go down to the store and buy what I need?”

4.    Retailers are used to dealing with company sales representatives that offer the retailer discounts and “free stuff” to put their products on the shelf.  As an independent distributor, we’re not able to provide product discounts, advertising dollars or incentives to retailers.

5.    Retailers look to the company sales representative to take back defective products or trade out items that are not moving.  Even though the retailer ordered the products just as we do, they still have that mindset that the “sales representative” (us) should take care of their problems.  After all, that’s what all the other company sales reps do.

Having said all that, there can be opportunities enrolling retailers as new IDs, but only if they manage this part of their business through the network marketing process, exactly as outlined by inLife.  It’s a process that works.  If you choose to enroll a retailer, it’ll be your job to convince them of the incredible opportunity by doing it our way and instruct them how to integrate the inLife business into their current retail outlet.

Here are some suggestions:

1.    The retailer needs to decide which devices they want to carry and be sure they have an ample supply of units, cartridges, batteries, chargers, and atomizers on hand.  To cut down on the inventory cost, they may want to carry only 2 of the devices; say the Regal and the Royale.

2.    When a customer first comes in, the retailer must be knowledgeable enough to demonstrate and sell the inLife device.  Tell the customer to go home, charge the unit, try out the different nicotine levels in the kit, and come back when they know what cartridges they like best.

3.    When the customer returns for cartridges, explain the value of enrolling with inLife as a “Customer” so they can go on line and order everything and have it shipped direct.  Be sure the retailer has computer up and running at the checkout area all the time.  Just leave it logged into their back office.  Then, all they’ll have to do is enter the password and start to sign people up.

·         Have the retailer develop a simple signup sheet for customers to fill out with all the information needed to enroll.  Be sure it has a place to insert their new user name and password.  The retailer can then take that sheet and set up their new replicated website.  Give the customer back the sheet so they’ll have something to remember their username & password.

·         The retailer should develop an information sheet that tells new customers how to access their replicated website, how to get on autoship, and how order things and check their orders through their back office.  Also, include an “Information Package” which should include a copy of the inLife pamphlet, the opportunity CD, and an opportunity meeting invitation flyer with each kit sold.

·         The retailer should offer weekly opportunity meetings to customers with meeting times and dates that should be included in the information flyer.  Call each customer that received the information package and invite them to one of the meetings.  The rest is routine.

Retailers already have a great venue for distributing inLife products and an existing customer base.  Many have a strong advertising program that can easily be modified to include the inLife products.  But, the key to their success, and yours, will come when they stop thinking like a retailer and start thinking like a network marketer.  And, they must understand that you are not a company sales representative that is there to solve all their problems and give them incentives.

It has been a marathon journey. 26 hours from door to door and a journey eased by being able to take my Inlife Elite electric cigarette with me. The problem returning to Spain from Charleston SC was that to get a greta price on the ticket we had had to take two layovers in the three leg journey totalling 13 hours added onto the already gruelling routine.

Thank God for the elite electronic cigarette. Having my e-cig meant that I could get my fix everywhere I went without having to suffer the smoke dense areas now reserved for smokers. TGIF in Atlanta, sitting in the departure lounge, where I was able to plug my electric cig into an outlet to recharge it before getting on my flight.
I could even puff away on the 9 hour flight to Madrid.
I am now looking forward to getting the Inlife product range up and running in Europe. One thing I noticed was that I didn’t see another electric cigarette on my entire journey! There is a huge market out there waiting to be filled. This is a great business opportunity.
