Bril^® has launched India’s first designer geometry boxes- Geomate Smart+^™ and Geomate DX^™. Boys and Girls can now feel proud of owning these pieces of art inspired by geometrical shapes and the kaleidoscope effect that brings out geometrical shapes in vibrant hues and colours!

At Bril^® we realized that most geometry boxes in India either looked drab and boring or bright but boring. We saw the same old reds, yellows, blues and greens with the typical images of the protractor, compass and ruler again and again. We were sure that students would be bored of this, and as always, Bril being the trend setter, set out to Make Learning Fun^™ and thereby Make Living Fun^™ for young school going boys and girls. The result- Bril’s Designer Geometry Boxes range!

Without doubt we have used the highest quality of plastic, metal and other parts in these designer geometry boxes. All this so, students can enjoy the highest levels of accuracy for stress-free peak performance in class!

Now students can show off their colourful designer Bril^® Geometry Boxes on their school desks.

“Hey Hey Bril, before you start…”, Queschy shouts

“What the hell is this Bril Reseller Opportunity you keep talking about?”

Bril replies, “Queschy, my friend, you have not changed a bit in all these years! Will you please let me get my thoughts together first? I am pooped after a long drive through congested roads. Don’t you worry I will patiently answer all the ‘Queschions’ you have about my cool Reseller Program 🙂”…..”Ok, Ok, I can’t wait Bril, tell me what it’s about”, Queschy interjects.

Bril: Ok, Queschy my pal here goes……The Bril Reseller Program is designed to help individuals (people like you) supplement their mainstream income or to generate their first income by starting a home-based business. The Bril Reseller Program gives individuals resale rights for world-class Bril products. So, in a nutshell, people can buy and resell amazing Bril products in the Baby, children and home niche that they and their children love to use themselves. Resellers can purchase the products at discounted reseller prices and resell (or get them drop-shipped to their customer), or sell using their unique reseller links (online) to earn commissions.

Queschy with your permission I will make this a blog post since NOBODY can ask as many questions as you, and I am sure this will help many people who are considering my opportunity (The Bril Reseller Opportunity!). “Sure Bril, of course you can do that, but stop pulling my leg 🙂 ”, Queshy exclaims grinning and fondly punching Bril.

Thanks to Queschy my friend, who made my life miserable with a zillion questions that I have written this blog post that will help you, a prospective Bril Reseller (Like Queschy) make that decision of ‘Should I’ or ‘Shouldn’t I’ easily. I understand that you may have tried several so called ‘business opportunities’ that make claims that most people never ever achieve. The Bril Reseller opportunity is unique, because it is simple and stupid (Not ‘bad’ stupid but ‘good’ stupid, ‘cos simplicity is what makes it work for people!). You buy Bril products and sell them- That’s it! If you work at it and sell one product that’s how much you earn. You sell nothing, you earn nothing. You DO NOT have to recruit people, you DO NOT have to build a down line, you DO NOT have to buy products every month to remain a Bril Reseller AND Most importantly The Bril Reseller Program is NOT MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)! We have worked hard to remove any possibility of some rotten eggs (selfish resellers) in the system from taking advantage by recruiting and forcing people to buy products that they don’t need, for their benefit (read: commissions).

Now back to my dialogue with Queschy……

Queschy: “Bril, Ok I get it, so how is it so fool proof? Do I need to buy anything at all to become a Bril Reseller?”

Bril: Good question Queschy. The main reason Bril Resellers never ever lose is because, the only mandatory investment that they EVER have to make is an initial purchase of at least Rs. 4,400/- along with a completed reseller application form. They can fill out the reseller application form and purchase online on www.brilindia.com or print the form and submit it with a cheque offline. Now, the best part is that you can choose the Bril products that would be useful to you or wish to resell, as even your first purchase will be at the discounted reseller prices! So do you see that there is absolutely no downside or loss? Even if you don’t sell a single product after that, you have just purchased some lovely Bril products that you and your children will enjoy using. If you do start selling, which is what we hope you will do, you can start enjoying a handsome supplementary income!

Queschy: “What if I make the first purchase and decide to either use these products or resell it to someone. Now don’t I have to buy more?”

Bril: Hmmm Queshy, you’re too much! How will you make any money if you never buy again? You sure have to buy products if you wish to sell them, but there is no minimum purchase requirement or monthly purchase criteria whatsoever! So if you get an order from someone, you could collect a cheque or cash from that person for sale at the MRP. Once you get the cash (or before you get the cash- that’s your choice), you will have to send a cheque to ‘Industrial Research Corporation’ i.e. to Bril, for an amount equal to the discounted reseller price for the product you wish to purchase (The one you have sold to your customer). Once the cheque is realised we will ship the product to you or directly to your customer if you wish. Simple isn’t it?

Queschy: “You keep saying ‘Reseller Price’, what is that?”

Bril: The reseller price is a discounted price at which resellers (you) can buy select Bril products. The reseller prices are typically between 20% or occasionally more than 20% lower than the MRP (Maximum Retail Price). This enables resellers to buy at lower prices and resell at MRP. For example if the MRP of a product is Rs. 1000, and the reseller price for this product is 20% lower than MRP, the reseller can buy it at Rs. 800 and sell at Rs. 1000.

Now, for example if a reseller buys the Brilrider for example at the reseller price of Rs. 3192/- and resells it at Rs. 3990/- (MRP), he/she would make a profit of Rs. 798/- on that one sale! How much you sell and how much you make will be a by-product of the systematic efforts you put in to build leads and convert them in the online and offline world.

Queschy: “You mentioned something about the unique reseller links, what’s that?”*

Bril: Smart boy Queschy! Now you’re asking some smarter questions (*Grins and winks*)! When you become a reseller (That is complete application formalities and make your first purchase), you will get a Username and Password (Automatically if you register and make a payment online, or after a few days if you register/pay offline). This username and password will give you access to a ‘Business and Marketing Tools Page’ and a ‘Reseller Back Office’ on my site www.brilindia.com . In the reseller back office you will be able to access your URLs (Links) to www.brilindia.com and individual product pages on www.brilindia.com with a code that is unique to you. You can use these links in your website / blog or any email marketing campaigns that you do. If a person (customer) clicks on your link and buys any Bril product, you will earn a commission of 10-20% (Or commission based on prevailing reseller commission structure). You can track these commissions in your Reseller Back Office! Cool right? Before I forget, Queschy – NO SPAMMING! Please do not buy some stupid database and email your link to people you don’t know (I will remove you from my Reseller list if you do). Spam is a serious problem and won’t get you much business either- in the long run…….”Yes, Bril I know. Don’t you worry, I will use my link only on my websites, blogs and review sites. And Yes, I will email only people I know or people who Opt-in to my mailing lists or ask me for information about Bril products!’

Before you ask, the ‘Business and Marketing Tools’ page will give you access to original Bril printable and digital marketing collaterals and information that will help you become more successful as a reseller. We also recommend some third party tools that you may or may not wish to use to generate more leads and sales.

Queschy: “If I recruit someone under me will I earn a commission when they buy or sell Bril products?”*

Bril: Now this is the most important reason why the Bril Reseller program is different from the other programs and is much better than any other home-based business opportunity. The answer is No. If you refer someone in the offline or online  world you WILL NOT earn a commission for their purchases OR sales.

Queschy: “Why won’t I earn a commission when a referred reseller buys or sells products?”

Bril: Good question. Remember I told you, that this program works only because it is NOT MLM. Resellers only make money by buying and reselling bril products. Everyone gets a fair chance as everyone is on the same level. Just like there are many shops there may be many resellers, but everyone has an equal chance of succeeding if they put in efforts. The Bril Reseller program is one of the most ethical, honest and real business opportunities in the world.

Queschy: Bril if you keep appointing resellers won’t there be too much competition?

Fantastic question my friend. India has over 1 billion people. As a reseller based in India you can sell to anyone anywhere in the country. Even if we appoint 1 million or even 10 million resellers you still have more than 240 million middle class buyers (customers) available if you use the power of the internet. So stop worrying and start selling!

Queschy: “Bril, your program is pretty cool I say! Now for a last question for the day. What if a person joins the reseller program by clicking on my reseller link, do I make a commission if that person buys/sells something with his/her link online?”

Bril: Queschyyyyyyyy NO! I told you right in the beginning, the Bril Reseller Program is NOT MLM!

“Ok, ok, Bril, I get it, I was just pulling your leg 🙂 stop shouting now, let’s go for a cup of coffee. Once done I will fill out the application form and give you a cheque for Rs. 4400/- or more based on which products I wish to buy (hmm or I may decide to buy online using my credit card, debit card, cash card or net banking). Hmmm actually I might just buy one of each- One Brilrider and a Brilbooster for my 1-year old son, 1 Bril Stationery kit for my daughter and a Brilslate for myself! ”, shrieks Queschy.

Queschy: “Oops, what will I resell then? If I use all of them?”

Bril – “Relax Queschy, I told you you could buy more when you have a customer willing to buy from you! Now just enjoy the products first”

Queschy, “Oh ya, got it! 🙂”

As I was writing a casual email to the CEO of a big multinational organization, I realized that this may be of interest to the world.

The whole world is discussing Steve Jobs and how he defied all the rules and intuitively navigated Apple to what it is today.

How did he do it? Most people would say that Steve Jobs is an aberration or an outlier. No doubt they are right in saying that, but what we need to ask ourselves is whether there is a ‘little bit of’ Steve Jobs in each one of us and ‘is there a Steve Jobs who is waiting to be found in every organization’?

Can teams communicate in an egoless manner, breathe right and soul-search to identify their Steve Jobs and back him/her to the hilt?

Is market research just telling us what the average customer/consumer wants? Is this making organizations and products mediocre?

Isn’t it up to leadership teams to chart a course that brings about disproportionate results through whacko innovative ideas/products /offerings?

Shouldn’t all this be done ethically rather than baseless innovation like what happened with CDOs (Collateralized Debt Obligations) by greedy leaders that led to the financial crisis that the world is still battling?

My take on it is that if teams function in an egoless manner, leaders start breathing right, communicate well and start searching for this person or people who want to change the world, and back them to the hilt, every organization has the potential to move from good to great. Over the years, the corporate world has laid so much emphasis on data and risk-mitigation that the fun of real entrepreneurship has vanished. Our objective as leaders should be to bring back the thrill and results of entrepreneurship by encouraging intrapreneurship in every team. This can only be done by identifying entrepreneurial leaders who function in an ethical and transparent manner.

Why did I say breathe right and what does it have to do with leadership? Did you ever wonder how intuition works? It’s only our breath that we have control over, and the breath controls our brain, heart and nervous system. Scientists and specifically neuroscientists are now validating this link between breath-heart and brain functions, but several wise men knew this long ago- though experientially. FMRI scans now show that breathing in a particular way activates certain portions of the brain. So role-specific and activity specific breathing is now becoming a reality for enhancing leadership performance, as validation using new-age technology is possible. Quantum physics is trying to locate the One Source that we call God and is slowly moving towards saying God is within us- ancient wisdom and spiritual leaders (across religions) knew this many centuries ago experientially and accessed the one-source through meditation and prayer. People are slowly realizing that what manifests in reality is consciousness or what we individually and collectively think. Dr. Mani Bhaumik’s ‘Code Name God’ addresses the union of science and spirituality beautifully and in a non-religious manner.

We live in very interesting times where possibilities are endless. So whether we intellectualise this or not, leaders must unclutter their thoughts and start taking time off to breathe right and meditate, to intuitively navigate their teams through unchartered territories to succeed in this ever-changing and complicated world.

Here’s something you can teach your child today. Introducing…

“The Bottlenose Dolphin”

Did you know…

1) Their moans, groans, squeaks, whistles, and grunts can sound as if they’re a heavy metal band. But bottlenose dolphins make their own kind of music. server address . Many of the sounds they make could be imitated by holding a balloon tightly by the neck, then letting the air out faster and slower.

2) Bottlenose dolphins send messages to one another in different ways. They squeak and whistle and use body language—leaping as high as 20 feet (6 meters) in the air, snapping their jaws, slapping their tails on the surface of the water, and even butting heads.

3) So what are they trying to tell each other? They can alert each other to possible dangers, let others know there is food nearby, and keep track of others in the group. Nasal sacs inside the dolphin’s head are what make it possible for the dolphins to vocalize.

4) Blowholes located in their heads open and close, allowing the dolphins to breathe. (Being mammals, dolphins have to come to the water’s surface to breathe, just like you.)

5) Dolphins also produce high frequency clicks, which act as a sonar system called echolocation (ek-oh-low-KAY-shun). When the clicking sounds hit an object in the water, like a fish or rock, they bounce off and come back to the dolphin as echoes. Echolocation tells the dolphins the shape, size, speed, distance, and location of the object. Each individual dolphin seems to have its own signature whistle, but the sounds we can’t hear may be the most important.

So, let’s say you’re in the electronics section of a super market and playing around with the android tablets on display. The usual suspects: Samsung Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Note, Blackberry Playbook and Motorola Xoom.

Suddenly your friend jumps in front of you and whispers into your ear, “You gotta see this Tablet!” He seems extra quirky and that somewhat picks your interest.

But you’re thinking, “Oh boy… What can he show me that I haven’t seen already?”

Well…

Brace yourself, and read this article cause it’s a total game changer.

There’s a new Tablet in town called the BrilSlate – click on Reuters, DNA or Fox 5 News to read the articles and reviews.

I really liked the (free) elegant leather cover too… Samsung didn’t give any cover at all; we had to buy it for an additional Rs 2000.
