Light Therapy UK The Business –
Steven Warren has a distinguished international career ......I have seen what
Light Therapy Systems can do when I lectured and travelled to over thirty
countries around the world. In some countries light therapy is commonly
used to the benefit by doctors of their patients, as well as individuals
treating themselves in their home. In other countries light therapy is
relatively unheard of or people elect to take drugs rather than opt for this
form of self treatment. This is the reason why I have created Light Therapy
UK – to bring to the British public the opportunity to benefit themselves and
their patients with this safe and effective form of treatment for common

Characteristics of a successful Independent

you achieve in sales is directly related to how strongly you promote yourself.
Examples:
Person to Person – personal presentation of products through word of mouth to both people you already know and
those you meet on a day to day basis.
Networking events – many consultants have joined business and social networking groups in their local areas and on
the internet where they have the chance to introduce themselves and the light therapy systems to others. You can
find your local business groups and social groups by contacting your local council or chamber of commerce but I also

Stands at exhibitions – this is a very expensive and in most cases will not be suitable unless the whole group of
consultants participate in the cost of running the stand. In my experience I have not found this produces sufficient
income to offset costs.
Private Health Centres and NHS Events. Some of these may be prepared to hold stock or use the Light Therapy
Systems and then recommend to patients. Some will only allow you a space to use on certain days in their premises.
This kind of retailing is not very expense and can be rewarding but always ensure that you have permission.
Small displays in offices and Businesses – many consultants approach large companies and ask permission to hold a
table on certain days in reception areas so their staff can enquire and make a purchase.
Home Presentation – a great way to introduce family and friends to the Light Therapy Systems is to organise a party
in your home and here you are on familiar territory and can relax and enjoy the presentations.
However, be mindful to practice the same rules that you apply when doing a presentation in someone else’s home:
• Don’t let your presentation over run. • Set an agenda for the time you will star and the time you will finish • Be respectful of people’s time and ensure that you finish on time. • Let people know that you have finished with a formal closure of your presentation, quite often this is when
your guests are in their most relaxed frame of mind and will ask you more questions.
Success in direct sales comes from a positive personal attitude and a healthy approach to running a business. A
direct sales business can be started with ease and offers personal freedom and flexibility but this can be a double
edged sword. On the one hand the business structure allows you to set your own targets and working practice. On
the other hand if you don’t put in the effort the rewards simply don’t follow. I have worked for myself since leaving
the NHS for nearly twenty five years. You have to be your own manager and not allow yourself to be distracted by
unprofitable actions given your success will always be the result of the actions YOU take. Here are a few important
elements I have found key to my success over the past twenty five years in my many businesses:
Communication all aspects of the way in which you communicate and the tools you use to manage your
communications will prove vital in the success of your business. Even the way that you communicate with yourself
when problems arise is of equal importance. You must consider the most efficient and effective ways to contact
people and also to ensure that you may be easily contacted when required. Talk to me and meet other consultants
in our tem and ask them what methods have worked most successfully for them. Hani we need to start a support
group for Bioptron Sales people on the website and arrange meetings on Skype or similar such as conference and tele
conferencing.
Time management You may find it useful even before starting to sit down and really think about the time you have
available and how as your business grows you can build more time in to making more profit. This will make work a
more pleasurable experience and you will still have time for your family, friends and I might all important SOCIAL
LIFE. The more time you allocate to your business the further and faster your business grows. Remember to plan
your time using diaries and effective planners and also fit in your time on each day.
Planning planning is crucial in general day to day life as well as in business. Planning your meetings, demonstrations
and follow up well in advance and never put off plans or tasks to a later date. Use your diary, planner or computer
software and your mobile phone to remind you of your plans and daily commitments or event dates.
Planning is an essential tool and not just for today, tomorrow or next month. You should also consider long term
planning and include realistic goals. For example how many new customers or consultants do you want to reach
and how many contacts discussions and online as well as direct presentations you want to carry out or even how
much income you want to generate in six or twelve months?

Prioritising your tasks and appointments will greatly help you in both your time management and
panning.
You need to be able to prioritise your activities in order to comprehensively complete your tasks and
achieve your goals. Sometimes your priority or to do list, may be inaccurate; however as time goes by and the more
you prioritise through your diaries and to do list the easier and more accurate your priorities become.
Determination to succeed Getting your business off the ground with the basics of marketing and branding yourself.
You will need to start spreading the word about your new business to every person you know both directly and
indirectly and start asking for referrals. You can read more about the powerful social media aspect of building and
continuing to expand your business on our website at www.LightTherapyUK.com /socialmedia
Talk about you exciting new business in general conversations and remember to have your business card to hand. If
you don’t have a website then we will create a specialist page for you on our website so you can direct people to
Light Therapy UK and the page will be an extension bearing your full name e.g. www.LightTherapyUK/stevenwarren
and you may find it opens many doors for other to join you. As in any other business hurdles and challenges will be
met. Take your time in resolving these hurdles effectively and learn from the experience.
Motivation Now that you are your own boss, waiting for someone else to motivate you will not produce income.
Yes, I and my team are here to provide you with the tools, correct any errors or confusion but in the first place
motivation must come from within. To maintain high levels of self motivation, you don’t just need a positive attitude
towards your business you have to be excited as you will meet people who will give you a massive thank you for
introducing them or a member of their family to BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems treatment of often chronic
conditions.
Ethics Your customers and business associates need to be able to trust you. Especially given some of the conditions
that BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems effectively treat. You will go through a specialist training day on the light
therapy systems so that ALL information you give out is accurate and realistic with no false claims as to outcomes for
some conditions where the light therapy systems will not be effective.
Social skills as I mentioned earlier in the business manual you will be meeting lots of different people from different
backgrounds and you need to be able to relate to them appropriately, in part, social skills is simply the ability to
effectively understand (listening is great skill), understand and then communicate clearly with others.
Your Action Plan
As with any new business forward planning will be key to getting off to a successful start and ultimately how
successful your business becomes.

In order for a
business to succeed it
requires a realistic
business and
marketing plan. Light
Therapy UK has a
unique and very
rewarding
compensation plan in
place for you already.
In addition to
studying the
compensation plan in
this manual discuss
with me about
training and support.
To be able to succeed
you need to
understand the compensation plan and work according to the main targets presented.
Create customers and contact lists
It is useful for you to create a contact list of all the people you know such as friends ,associates, relative and work
colleagues. This includes your friends on social networking sites but be careful how you communicate your new
business plans – more of that in the social media booklet which is available on our website
www.LightTherapyUK.com /socialmedia.
Don’t forget that it may be helpful when approaching your initial contacts to ask if they know of anyone who would
be interesting in not just being a potential customer but also joining you as a consultant. If they are interested they
will let you know by asking for more information and if they are not it allows them to decline without you having
asked them directly. You will be very surprised how your list will grow when you start to get referrals from those
already in your various contact and social online contact lists.
Keep in touch with those you know and are on your contact list. Always have a listing of your online resources and
printed materials to hand to people.
Grow your contact list further by looking after your customers because they are the people who will refer others to
you. Your customer is the most important assets to your business. Ask your satisfied customers for referrals and
also if you can have a recommendation to go in place on your printed and online resources.
After completing the training course and becoming certificated and becoming clear about the compensation plan
start calling those you names in lists to announce your new business. Then start booking meetings and
presentations.

Presentation Guide
Whether it is a home or person to person be this face to face email online contact or a recommendation please
observe the guidelines below:
1. When meeting at place of business, in their home, speaking to them on the telephone or via email and social media you should always consider the time of day and length of presentation.
2. You should make contact at reasonable hours or according to the companies or businesses working schedule at reasonable hours and make sure that the presentation doesn’t not run on longer than the customer can
accommodate taking into consideration all factors.
3. You should always describe the Light Therapy System accurately and not make any false claims. 4. You should provide all information concerning prices, method of payment, guarantees and delivery. 5. Only official literature should be used to present the Light Therapy Systems from BIOPTRON AG. 6. The customer must always be given a receipt using the Customer Receipt forms available to you from us.
When holding presentations at charity events or fairs it is a good practice to donate a percentage of your sales to the
charity’s cause. If hiring stands at shopping centres or joining an exhibition consider all aspects of expenses as these
could be very costly. Always take someone with you to help you to set up and close down.
When you decide to do a brochure or flyer drop in your area, you need to respect the local council restrictions and
avoid houses that have clearly indicated their wish not to have any
brochures or flyers dropped at their front door. We do not support or for
that matter encourage brochure or flyer door drops or collection during
unsociable hours or when there is no clear day light.

BUSINESS EXPANSION AND COMPENSATION PLAN
Expanding your business
Sooner or later you will notice that you confidence has grown and you might like to think of some new ways of
expanding your business. Have another look at your original contact list. It may be the right time to start contacting
some different types of organisations or clubs, support groups etc. You will probably be in the financial position now
that you could afford a few lines in local newspapers advertising your presentation. Put one under ‘Business
Opportunity’ section and one under the ‘Part Time’ vacancy column.
Another idea to let people know what you do is to put up A4 or if space is limited A5 leaflets in locations where
anyone has a good chance of seeing them. Try your local news agent’s windows as this is always a very inexpensive
place to advertise yourself.
There are two different ways of building your business and generating income:
1 Retailing
Developing your own customer base recommending and retailing the BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems.
As with all businesses it is a well used cliché that ‘the more you put in the more you will get out’ of your
business; however if you have limited time available you might like to choose this option where all your
efforts are directed at recommending and retailing the light therapy systems to customers. With every sale

you make you will automatically earn a retail income of 25% on the next listing prices. As well as this
depending on how much you sell over one or two months, you could qualify for further Business Bonuses.
If this is your choice, then you will only have to refer to ‘Table 1’ of the Business and Compensation Plan.
2 Retailing and Sponsoring
Months, you Developing your own customer base recommending and retailing BIOPTRON Light Therapy
Systems from Light Therapy UK AND sponsoring new consultants and creating your own team (generally
know as your downline) will greatly increase your income. If you have more time to dedicate to your new
business then by combining selling and sponsoring, you will notice a dramatic increase in your income
potential. This would mean you are now creating a group of successful consultants who are building their
own independent businesses s well as helping you achieve your own goals.
If this is your choice, then we strongly recommend that you refer to all the tables of the Business and
Compensation Plan.
Please note that irrespective of the option that is chosen, ‘Table 1’ will always be used to calculate your
personal sales and will be used to determine qualifying bonus percentages regardless of how many
consultants you have sponsored and are in your group.
The Choice is Yours.

Sponsoring
Becoming a successful sponsor
You may decide that you would like to share this business opportunity with others. Sponsoring can for many
people add a rewarding aspect to their business; however, it is not compulsory. Think of sponsoring as an
expansion of your business and you will immediately realise that a business cannot grow unless it has the
capacity and tools to do so. This means you will need to dedicate time to your sponsored group of people to
provide guidance, training and motivation. I have been doing this for many years and thoroughly enjoy every
aspect at all levels however this is not easy until you have an understanding and experience that comes with
building your business. The major advantage of building a team is you grow when the group grows.
Essentially the successful growth of your group is an indication of your success as a businessman or
businesswoman.
It is to your benefit to ensure that everyone who is interested in becoming a consultant has the passion, the
time and the self motivational qualities which will give your whole group the professional dynamic
ingredient that least to greater success. The pleasures of sponsoring are not just financial believe me for as I
have witnessed the growing confidence and success of the people I have trained there is so much personal
satisfaction to be gained.
You can sponsor anywhere in the United Kingdom. It is recommended that you consolidate your business in
your own area before embarking on long distance development and sponsoring.
Training your downline
As a sponsor, assisting and training your downline consultants can be one of the most enjoyable parts of
your business. For your benefit, it will be necessary for you to ensure they are kept informed about the light
therapy system and all the business development tools available from Light Therapy UK and ensure they fully
understand the Marketing Plan and The General Rules and Regulations contained in this manual. This can
easily be achieved by spending quality time with your downline when they join and reading this manual as
well as accessing our online website materials together. I also arrange and hold motivational and informative
meetings from time to time which you are very welcome to attend to socialise and learn more.
Building and Developing Your Downline
I recommend that you build good relationships with your downline and that you keep in contact with them
on a regular basis. Weekly lunch meetings, social evenings and getting together by phone or Skype
conference group calls – there are now so many ways of easily and effectively doing this.
It is important to motivate, encourage and inspire your downline and find ways to help them understand
that achieving success can be an enjoyable and productive experience. Sharing ideas and experiences that
have worked for you and other leaders you have heard about can often increase enthusiasm levels especially
for your newest members. Given the impact of BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems on people’s lives
recounting how many people have been helped and in what way is, believe me, a truly inspiring experience.
Early on after you have made sure that the member of your downline fully understands the Light Therapy
Systems, commission it is important to focus on HOW THEY would like to run their business. Also set
another date for a second meeting in a week or son’s time.
-
12
During the second meeting discuss their progress and help them with any concerns they may have and ask
them to share their positive experiences since you last met. Introduce them to the beginning stages of the
marketing plan and explain this part thoroughly but do also leave that all important time for questions and
answers before you set a date for your third meeting.
During the third meeting introduce the rest of the marketing plan and then have a brain storming session
with regards to increasing the activities of your group. This may include some joint venture for example,
attending some exhibitions and supporting each other in holding presentations. Discuss with your group
when further meetings would be best to schedule.
Be an extra helpful sponsor and volunteer to speak at one of their meetings. If you have had a particularly
successful month take the trouble to send them a card of appreciation and congratulations.
Encourage your downline with helpful advice if they are feeling a bit downhearted in the early stages about
their progress. To create a positive new business everyone has to learn new techniques. In other words if
things are not going to plan implement some new techniques and never be afraid to adjust your strategies.
So many people in life think that if they keep going doing the same time that one day it will pay off – well it
doesn’t so we have to think outside the box and look at the situation from a number of different angles.
Sponsoring – Check List
It is a condition that every sponsor ensure that his or her group are fully informed and trained. Regular
meetings are essential to motivate and help your downline. We recommend that you go through these
points below and create your own sponsoring checklist. I am looking forwarding to hearing about the
additional elements you have discovered and include in your sponsoring when we next talk.
1. Fie your copy of the consultant agreement form safely so you know who is in your downline and their full details,
2. Write the details of your downline on your records system and update your records regularly – unfortunately mobile phones disappear all too easily as do their relevant dedicated telephone
numbers,
3. Make notes of your downlines important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries as personal contact is of the utmost importance given you are not working in the same office on a daily basis.
4. Order the downline from us of the activity ‘genealogy’ report so you can congratulate those who have been active and productive and equally help and encourage those who appear to be having
difficulties.
5. Ensure that your downline has the latest materials at their disposal and email updates on our website to them as we will do from our mailing list.
6. Remember that your downline are not working for but with you and so think of ways of rewarding them.
7. Invite your downline to your seminars or presentations so they can learn from you. 8. Hold product and sales training for your downline and be fully prepared and organised at these
events.
9. Hold special meetings such as one to one for those who are shy when they are in large gatherings. Each of downline consultants are different and you need to ensure that you recognise and respond
to this fact.
10. Dedicate at least once a month time for a group meeting at a social place or even in your own home. Socialising with your downline helps break barriers and create a feeling of group membership. If you
decide to hold your monthly group meeting in a social place, suggest that your downline invite
potential/would be consultants. This will help grown your and their group of consultants.

Group Meeting and Training Guide
There is no such thing as a ‘ready made formulae’ for a group meeting. There is a limited formulae for training
seminars, however with the support of your downline each consultant will need to develop their own style of
conducting a business meeting.
Outlined below are some guidelines to help you create your own training methods:
1. People like to feel valued, important and also that they are involved. You would create a positive ambiance to your meeting if you ask one or two consultants to help you in the organisation of the meeting.
2. Welcome everyone personally at the entrance or as soon as they come in. 3. State clearly the main topic for the meeting and define time allocation and breaks either at the start of the
meeting/presentation or by giving printed agendas to each consultant.
4. Use all the materials we give you at Light Therapy UK, such as DVDs literature website streaming materials and your own materials.
5. Present the business Light Therapy YUK so that everyone is aware of the business identity. 6. When you explain how much a consultant earns, try not to use percentages but actual figures. For example,
instead of saying, ‘You will earn 25% commission on the Bioptron Compact’ say, ‘You will earn £70.83 on the
Bioptron Compact’ (subject to prices changes and this figure is only a working example).
7. Offer real life situations from your own experience to highlight important points. 8. Inform your new downline members of the rules and codes of conduct they should be aware of as
consultants.
9. If you are holding a product training seminar you should have an example of one of the light therapy systems to demonstrate. This is not mandatory as the video materials demonstrate clearly ease of use given that
outcome happens over time.
10. Highlight the sales and the recommendation method to use. Remember success for one of your downlines is your success too
11. Ensure you have three or four break times if you are holding a while day training and offer lunch and refreshments. I have found from considerable experience that a lot of important discussion happens during
such breaks so they are not simply for refreshments.
12. Allocate sufficient time for questions and answers. Allow and encourage your consultants to ask questions and to voice their own opinion – I often learn myself during such a profitable exchange.
13. Ask your consultants for feedback on the meeting or seminar and what improvement can be made for future meetings.
14. End the meeting or seminar on a positive note and give rewards and thanks to those who helped you or that that did so in previous weeks. Also note and summarise problems and difficulties and detail what you are
going to do and what you require your consultants to do to address such important issues.

MONEY MANAGEMENT
Being in business for the first time can be a positive and rewarding experience. By following the guidelines outlined
in this manual, your business will in time begin to generate significant income for you; from the very beginning we
strongly advise and recommend that careful financial controls be put in place and followed – these should include
the following:
• If in doubt you must seek the services of a financial advisor/ consultant • Make sure that your expenditure does not exceed your income • Make money before you spend it • Build your business from your ‘contact list’. It has cost you nothing to set up and will
generate the highest profit. If you continue to add to your ‘list’ and continue to ask for
referrals, you will never need to spend money on other methods of building your
contacts (e.g. advertising or buying mailing lists)
• Avoid lavish expenditure on entertainment until you can afford them
For example
The Light Therapy UK delivery system is fast and efficient and so there is no need to hold stocks – save for those
business tools such as brochures, leaflets and booklets.
No need to give extended credit to your customers – products are ordered and paid for before they are delivered
-
18
Combine meetings and share the costs with other consultants – it generates more enthusiasm and has other great
benefits.
A basic but very important rule is to keep your household expenditure separate from your business expenses for
accountancy purposes. Keep a simple book-keeping system or seek professional advice if necessary.
If you are VAT registered, again seek professional advice as to how to incorporate this in your book-keeping system
