What commitment/interest level are you now? “RUN” : Paid Affilliate; Help me sign up a.s.a.p.. I want to follow the steps to success and fast-track building my business and start saving gold immediately. B. “WALK” : Free Customer; Help me sign up a.s.a.p..

If I decide I’m not interested in the marketing side, I want to still begin buying gold to save. C. “SIT” : I have more questions before I decide one way or the other, OR the info is interesting but I’m not ready or interested in committing now.
Why physically possess gold? Some advantages: • Emergency Reserve for any Person / Family • everywhere • Independence from Banks and Governments • Payment or Barter possibility Worldwide • Liquidity and Anonymous Protection • Gold keeps its Purchasing Power • Highest Appreciation • Tax Advantages Supplemental Slide 1 “Gold still represents the ultimate form of payment in the world.” (Alan Greenspan, FED Chairman 1987 – 2006)
How do I know the Karatbars Gold Card is a good value? • Few refineries worldwide offer single grams of gold because of the low profit margins and the labor required to assay, add serial numbers, and certify each gram separately. • Because of this, the premium/production costs added to produce the smaller units remain attached. Reputable dealers recognize the production costs of the smaller units and pay a premium for having the benefit of the assayer’s signature, the serial number and the certification of each gram. • Buyers are willing to pay a higher price for gold produced with a hologram because it removes the burden for gold owners to prove their gold is what they say it is. • Look at our competitors and read the small print on their sites about additional charges for storage and also theirdelivery minimum requirements for purchase. (Ex.: Google the following key words: LBMA kinebar, hologram, and 1 gram 999.9 gold bullion) Supplemental Slide 2
A Question About Weights, pt.1 There are 2 totally different methods for calculating silver/gold versus the method used to calculate everything else. • Troy weight is a system of units of mass customarily used for precious metals and gemstones. • Our avoirdupois system is 16 ounces per pound (where 1 troy pound is equal to 12 troy ounces). • 1 troy ounce is equal to 31.1034768 grams, or 1/12 per troy pound • 1 avoirdupois ounce equals to 28.3495231 grams. Supplemental Slide 3a $1260 $40.65 __________ divided by 31 grams = __________ (spot price of gold per ounce) (price per gram)
A Question About Weights, pt.2 AMPEX Credit Suisse Gold Bullion – Weight 1 gram – $51.50 (Minimum order value $1,500) Swiss Pamp Gold Bullion – Weight 1 gram – $59.59 Supplemental Slide 3b UBS Gold (Kinebar) – Weight 1 gram – $82.16 (Minimum order value $500)
and other metals. About Gold Purity • A karat is not a unit of weight. • The word karatrefers to the amount of goldin a particular item. Karats are measured in units of 24, where 24 karat gold IS pure gold. • So for example, something identified as ‘18 karat gold’ is 18 parts gold and 6 parts alloys such as copper, nickel, silver or zinc. ‘14 karat gold’ is 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloy. Quick Tutorial Supplemental Slide 4 This level of purity we call PURE GOLD or CURRENCY GRADE GOLD The price of gold is tracked at this “currency grade” because it is the purest form of gold. That makes it much easier for you—and for anyone you do business with—to understand the value of your gold
Affiliate Program versus MLM An Affiliate programis an e-commerce business model that enables a firm to generate revenue streamson hundreds (even thousands) of items without carrying inventories, managing orders, processing payments, or handling packaging and shipping. In this arrangement, a website concentrates on a relationship with a very specific group of individuals as its core competence. It develops and continuously upgrades content and services to attract and retain the patronage of this group. Once it has a sizable number of regular visitors, it can generate revenue by carrying ads or linksto merchants with products that its visitors seek or are interested in.* Supplemental Slide 5 Multi-level marketing(MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated for sales they personally generate, as well as the sales of other salespeople they recruit. The salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing. It is usually characterized as having high initial entry costs (like marketing kits and initial product orders), in addition to requiring members to commit to regular product commitments like auto ship orders. Often places emphasis on recruitment of others over actual sales. *Cited source: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/affiliate-model.html#ixzz34NEf7hN9

1. Fiat Currency is not real money Why Should You Acquire Gold? • Fiat currency is not real money; it’s not backed by anything. • The printing of paper currency and creation of money ALWAYS leads to inflation and loss of purchasing power. • Fiat currencies are based solely on confidence, and always return to their intrinsic value of zero. • Fiat currencies have and will continue to fail.
Why Should You Acquire Gold? 2. Inflation continues to decrease the purchasing power of our currency. • Inflation continues to debase our dollar, so its purchasing power continues to shrink. • A spike in gold could create a global financial crisis. Therefore, the Federal Reserve, other institutions and the government manipulate the price of gold. • Current prices are artificially low, presenting a great opportunity to buy NOW. • When prices spike, how much gold will you have in your possession? 3. Because gold prices are being manipulated, prices are low.
