by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Trévo’s explosive growth as a young company has been well-documented over the last few years, and the Life and Health Coaches behind that growth are reaping the benefits of their hard work.
Tonbara Inoma Batubo, Brou Epse Yapo Chia Ann Marie, and Amani Blaise Kouame have been gaining momentum since each of them joined the company in 2013. Just one year later, that momentum has resulted in sales worthy of a new car!
Tonbara Inoma Batubo, from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, joined Trévo in October 2013, and in the 13 months since has already earned an Emerald Elite Executive rank, and qualified for a new car.
Meanwhile, Amani Blaise Kouame and and Brou Epse Yapo Chia Ann Marie, both from Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, joined Trévo just over a year ago, and each has already earned an Emerald Elite Executive rank and qualified for a new car, as well.

Amway Defends Direct Selling, Touts ‘Made In The USA’
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Amway surpassed Avon Products in 2012 to become the world’s largest direct-selling company, thanks to a steady, drama-free international expansion over the years into key markets like China, a bigger focus on nutrition products, which are less prone to sales fluctuations than beauty products, and the ability to attract and keep sales representatives (whom Amway calls ABOs, for ‘Amway Business Owners,’ and who now number 3 million.)
In 2013, its sales rose 4.4% to $11.8 billion, helped by growth in China, its biggest market, and one where Avon’s business has collapsed since a big bribery scandal hit that company a few years ago. (Avon’s business is struggling in almost every key market.)
As a privately owned company, Amway has been spared the drama that has slammed some of its other direct-selling peers that faced regulatory and investor scrutiny: personal care products maker Nu Skin Enterprises NUS -3.63% was fined earlier this year by Chinese authorities over its product claims, while nutrition company Herbalife HLF -0.10% is in the throes of a battle with activist billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who claims it is operating an illegal pyramid scheme.
Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel, the son of one of the company co-founders, recently spoke with Fortune about criticisms of the direct-selling business model, its China success,

Visalus’ Damien Canerot On Building A Legacy
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Damien Canerot was first introduced to Nick Sarnicola and Blake Mallen when he was a student in college. That’s also when he attended his first National event—almost a decade ago.
Years of loyal perseverance have gotten him to where he is today—a thriving 1-Star Ambassador worth over $500K, living in California’s Bay Area. Here are 14 of our favorite Damien Canerot quotes… dare we say many of which are words to live by.
1. It’s been special to see the evolution of ViSalus over the years, from very modest beginnings to everything we’ve now established as a Challenge culture.
2. I made the decision to go for it. I admit to achieving slower success as a first-time Promoter, but I had the opportunity to be mentored and surrounded by aspiring entrepreneurs.
3. I’ve faced challenges and success as a Promoter over the last decade. It’s been both rewarding and humbling at the same time.
4. The Vi-Life has been rewarding to say the least. I’ve traveled to many new cities across the country, taken cruises, and had countless celebrations.
5. Vi provides a big gift people don’t always talk about: an atmosphere for personal growth and development.
6. My advice for anyone looking to achieve success in any area of life is to be clear about what you
