Zija International Up-And-Coming Distributor: Tommy Chapa

 
Zija International recently sat down for an interview with one of their up-and-coming Distributors, Tommy Chapa.
The already impressively ranked Double Diamond Distributor has achieved his success in just under a year, as he decided to seize the Zija opportunity in February 2013.
“What got me interested in the Zija was first the business opportunity. People find wealth when they get in front of a trend, and the health and wellness trend is a huge one! Zija is health and wellness. It’s the reason we are one of the fastest-growing companies out there,” said Chapa.
“The second thing that got me really excited was Moringa oleifera. I was and am excited to share these amazing products. I lost 16 pounds in the first month using them—and then 20 more in the following six weeks! It is impossible to not produce success with a product that just simply works.” 
Prior to jumping aboard the Zija train, the Texan was a steady businessman who strived for success and further opportunity. When asked what set him apart from the thousands of other Distributors in the company, he replied,

Rodan + Fields, the fastest growing company in premium skin care among leading companies last year in the U.S.*, began business operations in Canaday. Entry into the Canadian market is the first step in the company’s market expansion outside the United States since the San Francisco-based company launched in 2008.
Rodan + Fields’ focused business strategy has generated high double-digit compound annual growth, driving revenue for 2014 to more than $300 million USD, and with the addition of Canada to the business, the company sees significant opportunity for sustained profitable growth.
“Our brand vision is a global one and our Canadian launch is a key strategic milestone on our globalization roadmap,” said Lori Bush, President and CEO, Rodan + Fields.

In 2007, Rodan + Fields became the first prestige skincare line to exit the department store for the world of direct selling, with the brand reintroduced in 2008 as a newly-formed company. The company’s thousands of Independent Consultants quickly generated revenue that far exceeded

USANA Singapore Receives CaseTrust Accreditation

 
The USANA Health Sciences Singapore office recently had their business practices accredited by CaseTrust, the accreditation arm of the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
The initiative, which is led by the Direct Selling Association of Singapore (DSAS), was kicked off in January 2014 with the intention to bring the standards of the direct selling industry in Singapore to a higher standard.
“We are proud to be one of the first direct selling companies in Singapore to receive this accreditation,” said Executive Vice President of Asia Ng Keng Hean.
“It reflects the ethical business practices which USANA and its Distributors have been promoting all these years.”
The initiative recognizes member companies that commit to give consumers a minimum cooling-off period of seven working days, during which they can seek full refund of any payment without being penalized, produce an order form at the time of sale that clearly states the direct seller’s contact details, and put in place a well-defined system to address conflicts. USANA is one of 14 companies to receive this recognition.
“CaseTrust not only reviews the company’s practices, but also those of Independent Distributors,” said Carolyn Lee, regional general manager of Singapore and Malaysia. “We will continue to work closely with
