Hi everyone. A few updates about Manchester event. I've been with BB for 14 months now. I am one of teh latest BB millionaires. I'm privileged to be a part of BB for me and my team. It was a pleasure for me to help put together this BB UK event. Everyone should come to the event if possible! I went to the event in Ireland, and that team has now taken their BB business to another level. You will learn so much.. be a part of our UK Event. We will cover version BB 2.9. The Gala dinner will be wonderful. Saturday evening 23rd. There is a link to the BBtour.com event. Tickets are going quickly. Please get your tickets early for the event and the Gala dinner. When we are sold out for the dinner, we are sold out. Dinner is 45 pounds. 55 Euros. This is not a black tie event, but shirts/ties, dress clothes. Tickets will come down on Sunday night. We need final numbers for the caterer. A wonderful dinner. Everyone will be pleased. We have a DJ.. dance floor until 1:00 AM.

Updates:
Payouts -
India itself has challenges because of strict government rules. Good news is we now have a proper foothold inside the country. We have a payout solution for India. Exciting news!! We have worked hard to make this happen.
STP in India has been caught up thru end of January. As well as bank wires are caught up, have been submitted a couple weeks ago.
STP payouts had a little problem. There was a slight mistake that was quickly corrected. February 5th date was the mistake. Feb. 6th date payout is the correct one. Back office has been updated. Large STP payouts have now all been made. We are caught up through end of Dec. We will get caught up for January as quickly a possible.
By Monday the 11th, all lingering BB card payouts will be completed thru December. We are working hard to get this going and get everyone paid. January will be caught up soon.
USA BANK - December to January. Banking system for US every bank is different. Every day money is being sent out. Dozens of payments have been made, and your turn will come shortly if you have not been paid yet for US Bank.
BB Version 2.9 (Chris showing a PowerPoint for 2.9)
We are ready to go. Team is testing it out now. There is a testing team and things are looking great.
(*) Date for the officiallaunch is February 19th, 2013
Training will happen at the UK Tour, as 2.9 will be live. We will have discussion and overview of 2.9 at the UK event.
Features:
Reason for 2.9: We listen, we get feedback and we have tried to put in place features to alleviate confusion, and to implement fairness in accordance with our business model.
(*) Executive Membership - We have listened to feedback, and for fairness we have decided about the grandfather clause to be explained in a minute.
-Executive Membership will be $500/month.
-You must have a black panel or Prestige panel
-10 or more TP's for those who are new or do not have 10.
-Traffic Boosters will be $4
-Withdrawal BB Debit Card will be 10 calendar days ($35 fee for card)
We have not charged everyone for the card, who were not charged originally.
- ZERO fee for Support - Dedicated Personalized VIP support line.
$7 per call for Standard
Free 1 call a week for Premium, $5 per call after that.
Standard and Premium will have a different support line than Executice
- BB Business Profile on Special BB Blog Site.
(*) Grandfather clause - Feb. 19th
30 or more TP's you will automatically be upgraded to Executive type.
10-29 TP's you are grandfathered in as Premium members.. So..
When you add additional subscriptions you will automatically become Executive. OR if you have a pending withdrawal of $10,000 or more within a calendar month you will automatically become Executive.
Prestige Package (only Premium or Exectuive) (did not get cost, sorry)
Panel is $7290
REvenue cap $14,580
Sales credits are the same - 2 credits per panel to qualify.
Traffic Packs - NOTE: (*)you will now need to allocate your traffic when you get your subscription.
Incentive Traffic - blogs, videos testimonials, surveys - you will be rewarded with incentive traffic. You will have a content management console to manage your blog and video submission.
(*) Please NOTE: rollup credits will now be included in this traffic bank
Blogs, websites will be monitored and approved. One strike policy. if you go against the rules, you are banned from using Incentive Traffic.
NEW TRAFFIC BANK HAS CATEGORIES:
SALES CREDITS
TRAFFIC PACK BANK
ORGANIC
INCENTIVE
HE showed a picture of the new traffic bank allocation in your back office.
This will not affect your Traffic allowance/limit
He described how this will work, how each of your traffic banks will go up or down according to your allocation and use.
4 banks per color - 28 different traffic banks.
It appears that whether you're using any of the traffic banks, your inviter gets 1/2 credit.
Questions:
Why is the traffic pack fee coming one of two days earlier? Calendar days are being used - easier to do it every 30 days, rather than same date each month. Count 30 days and that's the next date due. Not necessarily the same date/day each month.
Can we carry over traffic? You have to now allocate it into each color bank. Prior to 2.9 you have one bank for general traffic. Now you need to put your traffic into proper bank from your traffic packs. Then you use it to qualify those specific color panels.
This will definitely be easier. Visually it will be easier, and easier to explain to new BB members. If you are already used to the old system, this will take some adjustments.
Chris showed a slide for how the Inviter credits work and are allocated. The type of credit you use will determine the type of credits your inviter gets.
(*) Chris showed the New BB Profile page. Executive Membership Type only!! It's a blog that's geared to you. You can put video there, comments. You are the administrator of this blog that BB is providing. We want to populate the Internet with thousands of BB Blogs to communicate with your people. The BB Profile page looks GREAT!
Support is now caught up, and all types are now live. Within the same day you will get a response for ticketing system. 24-48 hours would be worst case scenario. WE are glad to say we are now caught up and support will be much quicker and responsive to your needs.
In closing, I want to say that I am looking forward to the UK tour. Do not wait to the last minute. I cannot believe the response, it's like a Rock Concert
Only a few seats left. You do not want to be left out!! www.bbtour.com all info there.
Dashboard messages are there. Be sure to read all messages. Agree to the compliance, this is very important.
Thank you, again, we appreciate your effort and time, all the leaders who help to make this happen worldwide. From the team at BB and Stellar Point, we wish you a good weekend and see you in the UK.
