by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Reliv International, a maker of nutritional supplements that promote optimal health, announced that it has sent 67 Reliv Distributors on a four-day incentive trip to Quebec City. The Distributors, who come from North America and Europe, earned the trip by achieving high-level rank advancements or meeting set sales goals.

“Rewarding Distributors for their hard work through luxury travel has always been a key part of the Reliv business,” said Steve Hastings, executive vice president of sales & marketing. “We’ve taken hundreds of these trips over the years, and we make sure each one is special in its own way. Our trip to Quebec will be no different — these leaders deserve it.”
Reliv guests will stay at the luxurious Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac amidst breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River and the European-inspired architecture of Old Quebec City. Scheduled highlights include a scavenger hunt throughout Old Quebec and a murder mystery dinner. Otherwise, Reliv travelers are free to explore and enjoy the winding cobblestoned streets and attractions of Quebec on their own.
“As you achieve success with Reliv, we reward you along the way,” added Hastings. “You can earn dream trips to some of the world’s most popular destinations and big cash

You can see them every day when you walk around,” Talk Fusion Founder & CEO Bob Reina told the audience of Associates. “They’re unhappy, they have their heads down; they don’t have belief in themselves. But you can give them a new meaning. It would be my hope, when you leave here, that your dream goes from ‘big’ to ‘much bigger.’”
In addition to motivational training, awards ceremonies, and Associate Recognition, the HERO Event was host to high-energy dance-offs, a “Mercedes Madness” Parade through the streets of Surabaya, and a Luxury Car Block Party, which was referred to as the “million dollar parking lot.” The HERO Event concluded

Herbalife About To Settle Class-Action Lawsuit

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Herbalife is close to reaching a settlement with five former distributors who claim the controversial nutritional products company is running a pyramid scheme that has victimized thousands.
Lawyers for both sides told California federal judge Beverly O’Connell last month that “the parties have tentatively agreed on the principal terms of a settlement,” according to court papers.
The parties asked for an extension of several pretrial filing dates, saying they needed more time to finalize a deal.
The suit was brought by California resident Dana Bostick in April 2013, less than four months after hedge fund activist Bill Ackman called Herbalife a fraud and placed a $1 billion short bet on the shares.
In June, four new plaintiffs joined the proposed class-action suit against the Los Angeles company.
Both sides declined to comment on the talks or the amount of the potential settlement under discussion.
Herbalife, which is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and other regulators, has denied the allegations and earlier said the suit had no merit.
But it now appears willing to accept a class-wide settlement to put a cap on its liability, sources told The Post.
The class would cover about 1.5 million people — those who joined in the US after 2009 to the present, excluding

Avon, Dissatisfied, Withdraws From DSA

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
In a press release dated September 12th, Avon stated they were withdrawing from the DSA because of their dissatisfaction with the organizations direction. They sent a letter, addressed to “U.S. direct selling colleagues”, which shares their decision was driven by two key issues: 
1. They believe the DSA’s agenda in the U.S. is overly focused on issues of a few specific brands rather than industry-wide challenges. 
2. They believe that the U.S. DSA Code of Ethics requires updating to better reflect the current state of the industry in the U.S. 
Avon is not exiting the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, local market DSAs, or other direct selling trade organization outside of the United States (many of which they are founding members of). They believe these associations play an important role for Avon. Avon continued to share that there are three major aspects of their business model that they believe further safeguards their representatives and consumers. 
1. The Avon business model does not rely on nor does it encourage sales of inventory, training or business support materials between representatives. The core of their model is retailing. 
2. Avon has reasonable return policies and representatives are not left holding excess inventory. 
3. Avon limits earnings to three generations. They do
