Modere & Sports A Great Fit

   INTERVIEW WITH GLENN RYPP

Recently we had the pleasure of taking five for a down to earth chat with one of our sponsored athletes and proud Modere Ambassador, Glenn Rypp about his latest trials and tribulations, including his heartbreak of just missing out on selection for the Rio Olympics Kayaking team. But for Glenn, it’s been almost bitter sweet…

Modere: So Glenn, it’s been a while since we last caught up. What’s been happening, champ?

Glenn: Yeah, I know! Firstly allow me to apologise for not touching base sooner. I guess I’ve just been so focused on competing, and well, I’ve been eating, sleeping, training and talking Olympics for a long time! It just consumes you as an athlete.

Modere: It’s totally fine. Like we know what it’s like! Clearly you’ve been busy catching your breath. So maybe you can give our readers an idea of what a year in the life of Glenn Rypp is like…

Glenn: Well so far the 2015/2016 event calendar has been my biggest year of training and racing to date. I’ll give you a quick rundown of what I’ve achieved. Ready?

Modere: Yep.

Glenn: Set?

Modere: Yep. Go Glenn!

Glenn: So it was a massive season in total and I ended up earning the following results in the Open Men’s comp.

• 1st place and new course record for the Murray 200km kayak race 
• 1st for the South Australian Kayak Marathon Championships for K1 and K2 
• Overall winner for the South Australian Ocean Racing Series Championship 2015/2016 
• Represented South Australia in the national state vs state (each state gets 2 surf ski representatives) for Single Surf Ski, and I came 5th 
• 1st place in all South Australian state regattas for the K1 1000m races 
• 3rd in the K4 1000m National Event 1 
• 4 x Gold and 3 x Silver medals at the South Australian State Surf Life Saving Championships 
• 1st in the Single Ski for the South Australian Surf Life Saving State Championships (1st for 2 years in a row for Open) 
• 1st in the K1 1000m South Australian Sprint Kayak State Championships (1st for 5 years in a row for Open) 
• 3rd in the Australian National Marathon Championships 
• Awarded the Ski Award 2015/2016 for West Beach. 

And to top it all off – in my break I competed in a Spartan obstacle course competition where you aim to get the fastest possible time over the weekend in a short course of obstacles. I managed to take out 1st place against some the best in that kind of racing. So yeah it’s been pretty hectic!

Modere: And you have time to study and work in amongst those events!? What are you, one of the X-Men?

Glenn: Haha! Not really. When you’re that focused, time just flies by and all of a sudden you’re competing at a new event and then the Olympic trials come and go, and while the rest of the Australian Team are getting excited to compete in Rio, I’m simply coming to terms with missing out on a seat on that plane! But, that’s life I guess. 

If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. I have definitely had some emotional moments because I really did give it my best shot. I probably spent approximately 15-20 hours a week training for 50 weeks a year for the last 4 years, so yeah, when you reflect on all of the hard work and pushing through pain barriers etc. etc. it can take its toll. I really did put everything on the line and gave it my best, so to miss out is hard to come to terms with. Having just said that, I have however taken away some positive lessons to make sure I continue to grow and develop as an athlete. In fact, with this new mindset − I’m actually looking forward to the next four years of training and racing because towards the end of that four year cycle I will be at my peak racing age which will mean I’ll have a better shot at making the following Olympics team. So my dream isn’t over yet!

Modere: That’s a really great attitude considering how disappointed you must feel. We’ll definitely be behind you for the next 4 years. After all, we’re your biggest fans!

Glenn: Ohh shucks! Thanks. You guys have always been great supporters of mine and I cannot thank you enough for the support. Without that support I just don’t know how I would be able to juggle my busy life and compete at this level! After having spoken to other athletes, I really feel like I have a special relationship with Modere, because you genuinely care about my wellbeing and not just my performances. That really means a lot!

Modere: Could you please pass the tissues, Glenn?

Glenn: Sure, here you go! Seriously, I absolutely love being part of a company that almost feels like another family to me! Having you and everyone at Modere backing me every step of the way is always an amazing motivator for me. I can’t thank you enough!

Modere: Stop it! It’s our absolute pleasure, young man. Keep up the great work and best of luck with the remainder of your studies. Something tells us this isn’t the last we’ve heard of Glenn Rypp…

Glenn: You know it!

Keeping Contributors Engaged & Active = $$$$$$ For Your Cause!

Let's face it the best way to keep on going funds happening for any cause is to come up with a system that gets contributors involved without feeling like they are focused on your cause.  What I mean is our Give To Get fundraising system is Disruptive.  We are changing the way contributors get involved and the way fundraising Orgs raise money ongoing.  

By getting contributors to buy products that they already buy everyday and encourage them to switch brands to Modere where the products or free from harmful ingredients and good for their families, it becomes a win/win for everyone involved. 

Once your contributors understand the value in our clean and safe products they will start sharing it with their friends and families and earn rewards for doing so.  The more people they share with the better for your cause.  

The other outstanding benefit is that your contributors and be in other cities and other countries - they can order and share 24/7 so there is no limit on time.  Also there is no limit on the number of contributors you can have supporting your cause, this service will pay every-time they order forever. 

If you are ready to try a disruptive way of raising funds then contact me and lets talk about getting you or your org set up to start receiving ongoing revenue.  I have made this my cause in life as we have found a unique - new model that all kinds of individuals and orgs can leverage to build ongoing funds forever.

Raising Funds For Athletics Clubs Our Give To Get Plan Is AWESOME!!

As a coach for a junior team we had all kinds of fees that moms and dads hat to pay monthly to keep their kids on the roster and while fees were necessary for admin and paying me to coach and getting private gym time you have to feel for parents that have 2 or more kids playing a number of sports year round.

Well for the basketball team that I coached we came up with an idea of using our Give To Get program to help raise money for the clubs new uniforms.



Now before you go and say but they are still spending money on the program to help raise funds for the uniforms let's compare the 3 options the old way and the new way using our Give To Get:

Option 1 - The old way - we found out the cost of the uniforms and then divided it up among the team and that gave you the total we would expect from each parent.  Now yes we got a discount but if uniforms were $65 per kid and you had 2 kids that is $130.00 you would pay and that is it you kids get their uniforms.  This system just drains families that could be putting this money to more important things at home.

Option 2 - Here in Australia they call it a Sausage Sizzle - where you get with a local hardware shop and you buy the food and drinks needed for the afternoon and sell to the customers that visit the outlet and you get **The parents and kids to also come and help out and eat as well and raise money for the uniforms.  This is great and it works but lots of outlay - lots of man hours for volunteers that don't get paid for helping and cleanup etc that comes with it.

Option 3 - The Give To Get Fundraising Service we created leveraging the Modere Comp Plan and Products.  With our service we get every member in the club together - everyone downloads the app and uses the unique promo code given to the club (Just Like Uber) - Then the club encourages all members to buy $50 worth of product to try and they receive $10 off their first order for doing so.

Now it gets even smarter - if you have a club with say 75 members and you got every member to share with 3 people that bought $50 and got $10 off their first order you would have 225 people that place a $50 order that would bring you revenue of $2,225.00 (Not Bad For Just Sharing).

Here is the most important part you can keep sharing and sharing with as many and encourage them to do the same it will keep growing and growing. Now what this means for the Club is EVERY-TIME THESE PEOPLE ORDER THE CLUB HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN MONEY FOREVER!!!
This system is built to keep giving and giving the more you share the more you can earn - We love this because of a few good reasons:

1. Low cost set up under $65 dollars globally
2. Earn Money Every Month Forever
3. Moms love it because their families are using great products that are free from harmful ingredients.  NOTE - The beauty of this is our products are products that people buy everyday except ours are without bad ingredients! So all everyone is doing is changing where they buy!
4. No Running Around 
5. Everyone Can Do It
6. No Limit On Customers Buying Product 
7. Anyone That Supports Your Cause As A Product User Will Qualify In Our Monthly Modere Experiences - Where we give one lucky shopper a great reward like - Skydiving - Trip for 2 VIP - VIP concert or sporting events for 2 - VIP gym membership - Get papered for 6 months & more just for trying our product and for leaving reviews customers earn reward points.
8. They also get rewarded for sharing with friends - we send specials or discounts to them and on special days like birthdays and more on your behalf.  

As you can see the pro's definitely outweigh the con's - When you look at what we can offer it's a no brainier that many businesses and clubs also churches should be looking at alternative ways to raise funds that are not only for 1 time or 1 event but ongoing, that is real power - helping people Live Clean and raising funds for doing so.

Cost Of Running A Fundraising Campaign

For any fundraiser the cost of staff – phones – building - electricity etc. and the list goes on and on.  Then to turn around and have to spend more money on getting an event off the ground can be a costly thing.  Especially if your contributors over time have not come back or just stopped donating, for whatever reason.

There are lots of services that want to help fundraisers online and off but the cost attached to them can be a bit much for a new start-up fundraiser.  This is another reason why our Give To Get Fundraising Service is the perfect way to go for Start-up’s and Established fundraisers.

Donor Retention

With our Give To Get Fundraising service retention is very important.  In traditional fundraising you go and spend huge dollars on setting up a 1 time event and let’s say that you get a thousand contributors to attend and to donate to the event 1 year.  Statistics say that in year 2 you will only retain 40% of the contributors.

This means that out of the list of 1000 – 600 will never come back or give support again.

We strongly feel that when you attach people to your cause and then attach them to a product or service that enhances their lives the retention is far greater long term.

Our Live Clean mission helps you or your org retain supporters by:

1.       Getting them to try products that are good for their lives and the environment.

2.       Once they get it they usually replace the bad products with our products, these are products they would buy everyday so a clean choice is not really disrupting their lifestyle.

3.       When people try our products and see they are not overpriced and they work, they will keep ordering them.

We just don’t leave it there, we will then keep sending your supporters on your behalf - New product specials – Birthday Specials or gifts - & every time they order new product they can win a Modere Experience which can be a VIP trip for 2 or VIP Sporting or Concert Event or Maid Service 6months – Skydiving escape and more. 

We feel that actually engaging with your supporters ongoing will keep them motivated to buying products great for the planet and their families health (That they already buy everyday)  which equals ongoing retention and $$$ for your charity. 

Expansion:

Our Give To Get Fundraising takes it to another level by allowing your supporters to share the products with their friends and families and when they order they receive $10 off their first order of $50 and every time they order or share with friends  - You – Your Company Or Org Receives Dollars & Your Supporters Get Rewards.

This is the most exciting platform on the planet we would like to show you how it can be a game changer for your Org or company.  Please click the Contact Me fill in the form and I will get back to you ASAP.

Our New Approach Is Like Uber For Fundraising & It's Catching On Globally!  Imagine Raising Funds For Your Cause Not Only From Your City Or State - But From Other Countries Via An App Or Social Media Or Web Page!  

A few months ago I was asked to present on the topic of taking an established fundraising program that’s good (you know, it’s working) to GREAT. Exploring this topic for the Digital Leap conference got me thinking: what should nonprofits and charitable organizations be doing to take their fundraising to the next level? As I began to frame the topic in my mind, I started to list out the things any organization can do to take their fundraising to the next level. I already know what you’re thinking, not another list!

But this list is different, I promise. This list is short and distills down to four primary things your organization can start doing today. It begins with a simple question: where does change really start? I found a number of answers in Jim Collins’ book Good to Great. Yes, it’s a business book, but the concepts really apply to any organization whether you are a school or a nonprofit. “Dramatic results do not come from dramatic process—not if you want them to last, anyway,” says Jim Collins

I realized a long time ago that long term, lasting success does not happen unless your organization is willing and ready to change its culture. If you want to create fundamental change, then you need to look at the way you run your organization today.

While tactics are important, that’s not where the magic happens when you’re going from good to great. If you want to increase revenue, grow your supporters, retain donors and see better online engagement. The change starts with you.

This is the secret that is missing from all the fundraising lists out there. You must first shift your organization’s priorities and change its culture, and then success will follow.

1. Analyze your results

Like a GPS, you need to know where you’re starting to determine where you’re going next.

Take a look at the past two to three years of online results. Everything from your dollars raised and campaigns run, to email open rates and growth on social media. Once you know the hard numbers conduct a SWOT analysis.

Then, have a meeting with everyone involved. This is the time to break down silos; invite all stakeholders from the CEO and board to the staff who manage your social media and online presence. If people feel like they have a stake in the program’s success, they’re more likely to put in the work. In this meeting you should discuss the hard facts and the results from the analysis.

Let the analysis be the driving force of your change.

2. Make a stop-doing list

After 13 years working in nonprofits I can say this with confidence:sometimes we get in our own way.  There are things we are doing that just need to stop—that 10-year-old event that is barely making money, the annual report that takes months to create but no one reads—just stop. The same holds true online. For example, social media is important, but only if you have the time to commit to doing it right. If your organization is on eight social media sites but only investing and seeing growth on three, then get off the other five.

You can always go back, but for now focus on the tactics and strategies that are important to the plan and have potential to grow.

3. Invest in people

Happy employees are productive employees and investing in the team will help you find lasting success.
The investment is twofold—organizations need to invest in staff training and professional development. Training focuses on today—what does the person need to do their job right now? Professional development focuses on tomorrow—a combination of training, mentoring, and enlightenment that harnesses the power of the person and what they will become.

Quite simply, as the sophistication of your online and development efforts grow, you need to invest in a team that will grow with it.

4. Be ready for a ‘hot damn’ moment.
Collins called these good luck moments. Whatever name you give it, it’s the opportunity that comes across your desk that you can leverage to raise awareness, funds, and interest in your mission. Once a decisive plan is put into place, stakeholders have buy-in, the organization is focused on the right activities and the team is on course, your organization can take advantage of these ‘hot damn’ moments whenever they strike.

What’s the next step in going from good to great online? Those are tactics like implementing a multi-message welcome series or creating a gratitude with attitude strategy. But before you get there the plan must come first.

To find that elusive long-term success, organizations need a plan based on concrete data and smart decisions implemented by talented people with vision.
