STRATEGIC PARTNERS
Product Development-Mayer's Mint Germany-Mint Masters for Five GenerationsGOLDQUEST is proud to partner with Mayer's Mint Germany, one of the most prestigious private mints in the world. Founded in 1871 in the outskirts of the city of Pforzheim, Germany, Mayer's Mint is one of the oldest family-owned mints in Germany whose founder, Bernhard Heinrich Mayer, was an industrial visionary. B.H. Mayer partook in new inventions and technological advancements and, soon after, the Mayer name became synonymous with excellent workmanship and artistic design. For five generations, Mayer's Mint has produced some of the finest coins in the world, maintaining an excellent reputation among collectors, distributors and state mints in America, Asia and Europe.Companies rarely have the privilege of dealing directly with government or privately owned mints. GOLDQUEST, however, is very fortunate to have worked with foremost mints from all over the world: US Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Royal Australian Mint, Perth Mint and Andorra Mint to name a few. Sales and Marketing-V-Team International-International Team of Industry LeadersIn introducing its products globally, GOLDQUEST has enlisted the expertise of V-Team International, an international team of industry leaders with extensive marketing experience. V-Team founders, who understand that each and every person contributes to the overall achievement of the organization, took the cue from the wonderful positioning of birds in flight that follow the V-formation and called themselves thus.

II. Know your plan:
Gold Quest International chose not to use the route of traditional advertising; instead, opted to tap into the power of the "word-of-mouth".
It ensures that its referral base employs simple steps and procedures in conducting the business. Gold Quest International creates a unique advantage in today's competitive market.
Step 1) Enrollment and purchase a product.
First of all, you enroll over internet by entering your introducer/referrer ID. The enrollment fee is Rs.460/-. Then you buy the product-coin of your preference. You can choose any of the coins from the product catalogue. After finishing enrollment and buying your coin, you are a qualified customer with a specified ID with three positions as appeared below:
Say you buy the 001 coin. Now the 2 default positions under you automatically remain empty for you to buy the coins with-in 90days.At the end of this 90 day period the default positions will cease.
Ignoring this fact, you can start referring people to enter into the business. Thus you can refer people who will come in your left arm or right arm that is-either 002 position or 003 position. If you intend to get commission you can go to step 2 and follow the income plan .

Step 2) Activity and income plan.
Suppose that you have qualified position 001 by purchasing a product .now you have two legs , Left & Right , and you must introduce at least two person in your Left & Right side .
After introducing A and B via your ID and when they purchased products , your position is Activated .
The company commission is Rs.11,500/- per every 3UV in Left and 3UV in Right .The commission per coin is Rs. 2000/-approx.




This to inform you that any person under A legs will be counted for you as Left ,and any any person under B legs will be counted for you as Right .

III. Targetting: You can divide your contacts into 3 Levels:

Ø Level 1: Close contacts-may be your friends/relatives/need & dear ones –you come in contact with almost everyday. This is the group you need to target right away. Tell them what’s happening in your life and invite them for a presentation.

Ø Level 2: This could be a common friend circle you meet frequently-say once a week or two. This group could also be a potential investor –a person who is genuinely interested in diverse business opportunities from time to time. However-it is essential a rapport be build with your level 2 contact before introducing them to this opportunity.

Ø Level 3: This is the most difficult layer to crack. This group is a little cynicy and apprehensive about such ventures. Wait-take your time! They should be ideally targeted once your cheques start flowing in as you have proof of your achievements. Then these ppl start getting tempted to hear the opportunity and are genuinely interested. However starting touching base with these people at this stage.

It is strongly recommended NOT, repeat, and NOT try to present the business on the strength of attending one or two presentations. The radical and dramatic departure of this business from traditional concepts means that listening to one or two presentations will result in your absorbing only a small part of the business. Therefore logically, if you have only a smattering of knowledge of the business, your attempt to present it to a prospect means that he will have been shown a small part of the business. If he has understood only a part of that part, it means that he will have grasped only an infinitesimal part of the business. This is a grave disservice to the business and your colleagues, to say nothing of the fact that you will come off looking pretty silly.

Your best bet at this stage of your development is to call prospects to the weekly presentations, Wed at the Otters and Saturdays at Chembur. If any of your prospects cannot come to these presentations because of the time at which they are held or for any other reason whatsoever, Mr. Michael Ferreira is available 24/7 to make a one-on-one presentation to them. In due course, all of you will perfect your presenting skills and with continuous training, your other skills in handling objections, inviting prospects and following-up, to mention only a few, will develop and the awesome power of duplication will kick in with a vengeance.

IV. Training for presenting the opportunity

Ø To help you in perfecting your presentations, a detailed training note on the presentation will be given at a later stage. The note will have to be practiced and preferably presented to me several times before attempting to present it to others.
Ø Go through the 2 VCDs of the 8 Building Blocks & the 6 VCDs of the Basic training Course(BTC)
Ø Attend Technical Training Modules conducted by Gold Quest and the V Team Members.
Ø Try to attend every presentation at either venue even if you do not have prospects; do not miss training sessions. These sessions are vital to understand this business and to sharpen your skills as an IR. A place for regular training sessions, at least once a week and more often will be organised soon.

Once you have mastered the art of making effective presentation through the training material and CD’s you will have to present it to the leader of your upline. It would a great pity if anyone does not take the trouble to grasp the points mentioned in the attached note and gets frustrated when his poor presentation is greeted by a lack of response. From there to the complaint that "this is not happening for me" is an easy cop-out. Worse, that can lead to an IR bad-mouthing a wonderful business in an attempt to rationalize his own shortcomings. Please bear in mind, (a) that winners do not quit; and (b) THIS BUSINESS IS NOT ON TRIAL. It is you and I who are on trial.

V. Countering Objection

Most of the queries which relate to the product/company can be answered through this write-up and sufficient information available on the website.However, there are some common FAQ’s that we encounter. These will be circulated separately.

VI. Follow –up:

Ask the prospect immediately after the presentation how he/she felt about the concept-but subtly-not getting too pushy. One you have got your prospect to the seminar, sometimes you may want to leave them and wait for the idea to dwell in. However, do not forget to follow-up. Ideally talk to them after a day or 2 and ask them what they felt. Any queries, doubts, etc. Substantiate the concept with real life eg-for this it is important to know what your upstream is doing. Cite heroes of the chain. At the same time-try your best to solve their technical/financial queries. In this period it is vital to keep in touch with your upstream or leader of your upstream.



VII. Learning the operations:

Once a customer decides to buy the coin you may have to remember the following steps:
1. Mode of payment :
a. Through a DD in favor of QuestNet Enterprises India Private Limited-present the DD to Questnet office (In Chakala-in Mumbai) and get e-cards for registration.
b. Through Credit Card: Through e-payment directly or swiping the credit card in the Questnet Office and getting e-cards for the amount equivalent.

(A demo on how to do registration will be given at a later date-kindly attend it)
