(listen, then say) Well, if I can show you how to get the most of the best quality of gold for the least amount of time, effort and finances would you want to know how?” The Indirect Approach – “Hey, Bob, I could really use your help with something. Now, I know that you wouldn’t be interested in this, you and Lisa are all set, but I know that you know a lot of people who might be. You see, I’m looking for people who would like to know how to get the most of the best quality of gold for the least amount of time, effort and finances, because I have found the answer.” Strangers – Standing in line at Starbucks - “So…how’s the economy treating you these days? (listen) Have you noticed how expensive things have become this past year? The dollar seems to be shrinking by the day. (listen) You know, I hear a lot of folks talking about how much more difficult it is to maintain their standard of living these days, much less save any of their paycheck. (listen) I feel fortunate to have been shown a way to protect my family and our future and put away a small amount of gold each week.” Note: If they engage with you and look interested say: “If I can show you how to get the most of the best quality of gold for the least amount of time, effort and finances would you want to know how?” WHAT DO I SAY TO INVITE SOMEONE TO A MEETING ABOUT KARATBARS?

Example 2 – “Hey Bob, are you as concerned about the declining value of our money as I am? Every time we turn around we’re paying more for just about everything. There is no way that serious inflation isn’t coming. They just can’t print enough money to stop it. That’s why there’s a group of us getting together to learn about a company called Karatbars.

DAN GIROLMO’S POWER QUESTION “In the times we’re living in, do you think that there are any people that would want to take a look at a legitimate business plan to produce $4,500 per/week passive income in the next 12 months or less? What if it could be accomplished in as little as 12 weeks?” The Questions Know the Answers (cont.) Question: What is MLM or Multi Level Marketing? Answer: The FTC’s (Federal Trade Commission), definition - Multi Level Marketing is a business whereby individuals sell products to the public often by word of mouth and direct sales. Typically, distributors earn commissions, not only for their own sales, but also for sales made by the people they recruit to sell product. Question: Is Karatbars International an MLM company? Answer: Karatbars is an e-commerce company with an affiliate program that promotes the company’s small increment gold money products, specialty products and free savings accounts. All products must be purchased direct from the company online. Karatbars Affiliates are not precious metal sales people or investment brokers. Karatbar Affiliates are compensated for introducing people to the Karatbars gold savings program and for inviting others to open free accounts. All other components of the Karatbars opportunity, including the Affiliate Rewards program, are optional. Note: Amazon.com is an e-commerce company with an Affiliate Rewards Program. Amazon Affiliates do not sell directly to customers, they advertise and market for Amazon.com on their blogs and websites and earn commissions when customers buy from Amazon. The Questions Know the Answers (cont.) Question: Is this one of those Ponzi schemes? Answer: A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors. Example: Bernard ‘Bernie’ Madoff Question: Is this one of those pyramid schemes? Answer: A pyramid scheme is a form of fraud similar in some ways to a Ponzi scheme, relying as it does on a mistaken belief in a nonexistent financial reality, including the hope of an extremely high rate of return. However, several characteristics distinguish these schemes from Ponzi schemes. In a Ponzi scheme, the schemer acts as a "hub" for the victims, interacting with all of them directly. In a pyramid scheme, those who recruit additional participants benefit directly. (In fact, failure to recruit typically means no investment return.) A Ponzi scheme claims to rely on some esoteric investment approach and often attracts well-to-do investors; whereas pyramid schemes explicitly claim that new money will be the source of payout for the initial investments. A pyramid scheme typically collapses much faster because it requires exponential increases in participants to sustain it. By contrast, Ponzi schemes can survive simply by persuading most existing participants to reinvest their money, with a relatively small number of new participants. The Questions Know the Answers (cont.) Question: What do you tell people who say, “I checked online (or with my local coin shop/gold broker) and I can buy gold cheaper from them”? Answer: To get an accurate price comparison (not taking into consideration the many benefits that come with owning a flexible transaction-friendly 1-gram Karatbar), you cannot take the spot price for an ounce of gold and divide it by 31.1. (There are roughly 31.1 grams per troy ounce of gold.) And you cannot take a gram price and multiply it by 31.1. You must price Karatbars gold bullion by the gram against other similar-quality gold that's sold by the gram to make an accurate comparison. With gold and silver, you pay more for smaller weights regardless of your source. No one can touch Karatbars price! Karatbars has consistently maintained a 2-4% better price. Even if a broker could match or beat Karatbars prices, will they give you free gold for referring others? I think not. And most require you to buy many 1-gram bars even if you only want to buy one and although they may advertise they can deliver, they are often out of stock or cannot actually deliver gold in one gram weights. Note: You must add the cost of shipping for 1 unit to the buy price when looking at comparisons. The delivery price for overseas vendors is $10 - $25 per gram. The Questions Know the Answers (cont.) Question: How long does it take to get delivery? I like to have my gold in my possession not storage in another country. Answer: Most customers take delivery of their gold. The cost of delivery for one 1-gram card is approximately $22.00 from Stuttgart, Germany. The cost of delivery for forty 1-gram cards is also approximately $22.00. Since Karatbars provides “free” secure storage, we recommend that customers wait and accumulate forty cards in secure storage before taking delivery, thus lowering the per/card delivery cost to only .55 cents. ‘ Karatbars provides secure shipping through FedEx in nondescript packaging for discretion. Typical lead time for delivery depends on the size and type of order. Classic 1-gram cards is typically 2 weeks ARO. Larger orders and specialty cards can be as much as 4 to 6 weeks ARO. Note: We recommend that customers who intend to build a large gold accumulation account consider using a multiple storage strategy to protect themselves, having some gold on hand, some in local secure storage and some in off shore secure storage. The Questions Know the Answers (cont.) Question: Why should I trust Karatbars (a German company), with my gold…I have never heard of them? Answer: Germany has some of the toughest business laws in the world regarding business, securities, commodities and banking. Karatbars does business in more than 100 countries . Karatbars is recommended by Bund der Sparer e.v. as an A-rated company. Karatbars only does business with gold refineries that are LBMA (London Bullion Market Association), registered and on the “Good Delivery List” Question: Gold has lost around 30% of its value since January of 2013, what if the price of gold continues to go down? Answer: Currency grade gold is not now, nor has it ever been an investment. Investments pay either interest or dividends. Gold is money just as surely as the paper currency in your wallet is money, but with a big difference. Do you obtain paper money with the hope of receiving interest or dividends? No, and neither would you obtain gold as an investment. For six thousand years, gold has been insuring and protecting wealth against the inevitable demise of all fiat currencies. Gold has never been worth zero. That is why you buy gold. The Questions Know the Answers (cont.) Question: What about Gold ETF’s, I can get a much better return on a gold backed ETF (Exchange Traded Fund)? Answer: Gold Exchange Traded Funds are what is known in the industry as “paper gold”. It is somewhat complex to understand but the gist of it is this: the fund represents fractionalized gold shares in a fund that is supposed to have the share amounts backed by bullion vaulted somewhere in the world. Unfortunately gold backed ETF’s have been over sold to the point that most analysts believe that they are at a ratio of 100-1. That means that there are 100 times more paper gold shares than there is actual physical gold in storage. ETF’s have been blamed for the “manipulation” of physical gold prices for decades. Many believe that the Central banks use ETF’s to discourage people away from buying gold and as a means of keep the masses trusting in paper money. Note: According to gold expert Michael Maloney, paper gold (ETF’s) has a lot in common with paper money. Paper money is literally backed by nothing. Paper gold is supposed to be backed by something, but the reality is there isn’t enough gold on hand to meet the number of shares sold at any given time. It is a rigged investment vehicle and most smart people stay away from it. Only the savvy investors and Central Bankers with money to burn do well in ETF’s. The average folk should stay away.
