When it comes to Ice breakers you want all icebreakers to be rejection free.

Never want to high pressure or embarrass a prospect.

Want icebreakers that have a high probability of success.

So here goes:

Here is a nice icebreaker. This is an icebreaker you would use in any casual situation. Say this:

"I just found out (use the statements below or whatever you want)"

"If you would ever like to know how, I would be glad to tell you; meanwhile, pass me the gravy (or get
back to what you were doing)"

So let's try one. Let's say you're having dinner at a friend's house (you could be doing anything, really,)
and they ask you what you're up to.

Hey Mike, what are you up to these days?

I just found out how we can retire 5 years early at full pay. If you would ever like to know
how, I would be glad to tell you; meanwhile, pass me the gravy

Many people stumble when asked what they do for a living. Now when people ask you directly what do
you do for a living you can say the following.

Use the same following responses with this beginning:

"I show people."

** How we can get an extra paycheck every month with water.

** How we can fire the boss and start our own water filtration business.

** How we can stay home with our kids and still get a full time pay check from water.

** How we can retire 5 years early at full pay.

** How we can work 3 weeks out of the month in the clean & healthy water industry but get
paid for 4.

** How we can take a one week vacation every month and you don't have to stay with your
relatives.

** How we can take a 6 month vacation twice a year.

** How we can get a $100 refund every month.

** How college students can earn more money part time in the clean & healthy water industry
than their professors earn full time.

** How housewives can earn more money part time than their husbands earn full time.
** How secretaries can earn more money with water part time than their bosses earn full
time.

** How we can make our skin look 20 years younger with only water.

** How we can wake up an hour earlier every morning and feel like a million bucks, have
more energy and, fall asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow at night.

** How we can lose weight just drinking water.

**How they can change people's lives with the cleanest healthiest water.

Now another way to answer the question "What do you do"? You can say the following:

"Well, you know how, (introduce problem)

** People are worried about what's in their drinking water?

** Water isn't as safe as they tell us it is?

** Clean water concerns are a big problem these days?

"Well, what I do is (introduce solution)

Here are some examples

"Well you know how some people don't have as much energy as they used to? Well what I do
is market a product that produces the cleanest and healthiest water a person can drink plus it makes
them feel great. Do you know someone who would be interested in this product?"

"Well, you know how some people have problems having too much month for the money? Well what
I do is show people how to get an extra paycheck in their mailbox every month. Do you know someone
who would be interested in hearing more about this?"

"Well you know how some people have tried to generate extra income from home and it just hasn't
worked out for them? Well what I do is offer free training and coaching to help them reach their finan-
cial goals. Do you know anyone who would be interested in hearing more about this?"

"Well you know how some people have problems losing weight? Well what I do is show people how
to lose weight with water. Do you know anyone who would be interested in hearing more about this?

"Well you know how some people are always dehydrated or have no energy? Well what I do
is market a product that helps them become super hydrated, have more energy and just plain feel better
all around without medication. Do you know anyone who would like to have more information?"

After you establish a relationship with someone, you can ask them this question:

"What are your two biggest health concerns or financial challenges?" Whatever they say, you say the
following:

"Would you like to do something about it?"

Or

"Have you ever thought about doing something about it?"

Then you can go into your icebreaker. "I show people how to;
TIP:

Every day you probably hear people complaining about their health or finances. Simply ask them the
question listed above.

If they say NO to your question they are NOT a prospect so forget about them.

If they say YES, they just gave you permission to provide them information. It could be a presentation, a
web site, a business card or an appointment where you can explain things in detail.

Another way to look at Ice breakers:

DON’T come across like you are “up to something”. People will read right through that. Keep your focus
on serving the masses with AlkaViva through Network Marketing , and helping people solve life
problems with your AlkaViva home business and products, and simply wanting to meet a friend you
have not met yet.

These ideas are very basic, but few do them when they are out and about.

Here are 5 ways:

1) “Compliment them on something they are wearing or carrying”.

People like to be noticed. Simple and plain. They like to be noticed for what they are “displaying” about
themselves. What they are wearing or carrying is telling you a little bit about who they are…I always
start a compliment with a question:

“Would it be ok if I paid you a compliment about something I have noticed about you?”

Or if it’s a guy….“You know, I don’t give out a lot of compliments, but I like that suit you have
on. Very professional. Good cut”. This will set up anticipation, and not come across like you are
phony, or insincere which many folks do… they have the wrong intentions when they compliment some-
one. Plus people will feel good that you noticed!

2) “Ask for directions”.

I used to do this all the time when in a mall in a town I was new to. I would ask if they knew were a par-
ticular store was, or a place to eat. Then I would say I am from out of town, or new to this neighbor-
hood, and asked if they lived around here. Then I would ask them if they had a family, hobby…
etc. Then I would say….“Maybe you can help me… you may know who I am looking for…”
The POWER Home Business Question.

3) “Ask what they do for a living”.

One of the most powerful things you can do when Networking, is ask a person “What do you
do?” Then ask another question about what they just said. Then ask another question about what
they just said…..and you will start finding out about them and who they might know to help you. “Gotta
card?” is a great way to extend this conversation into a later time.

4) “Carry a book on Success or Leadership and casually ask people if they have read it”.

Then ask them if they like to read and if they read Success and Leadership books. If they do, discuss
the last one they read, and one they would recommend. Get them talking about Success and ask them if
they are a Student of Success. You will be surprised at the people you meet that are! And looking for a
new future!
5) “Ask for their name after giving yours”.

This one is so simple, but few do it.

“Hi, my name is Bill. How are you? I apologize for asking this, what is your name? I have never
had the pleasure of meeting you.”

This is such a simple way to meet people. You even apologize for bothering them for their name, which is
a soft way of asking for it, and you almost always get it this way!

Open up as many conversations as you can, and your business will skyrocket!

Oh…here is one final opener:

Smile.
Look in their eyes.
Nod your head.
Stick your hand out to shake theirs.
And say…”I am sorry, but I have not met you.
My name is (your name), I am with AlkaViva. May I have your name ?”
Open your eyes wide.. And SMILE HUGE!
You'll be surprised at what good things happen...
