Thirty-One Gifts Convention So Successful, They’re Doubling Up
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Thirty-One Gifts’ recent convention in Columbus proved so successful the company will do it again next year – and double up in the process.
Thirty-One Gifts spokeswoman Sara Westtold me the growing direct-sales company will host a three-day conference for associates from the eastern U.S. the week of July 26 next year, and will relocate its conference for Canadian consultants from Niagara Falls, Ontario, to Columbus as well.
“We’ll have a three-day conference, then another three-day conference,” she said. “… It will be easier to manage if we break it out into two identical conferences.”
According to Experience Columbus, the 12,769 attendees for Thirty-One Gifts’ July 22-25 event this year occupied about 15,000 room nights at 36 area hotels. The conference had an estimated $17.5 million economic impact on the hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
The Niagara Falls conference attracted 800 associates from July 16-18. Thirty-One Gifts just started in Canada in September 2012, so West said the company expects the number attending the 2015 conference to grow.
The company announced a year ago it would return to Columbus after two years in Atlanta, where 16,600 attended in 2013. The company counts about 110,000 sales associates in all.

TelexFree Co-Owner Pleads Not Guilty In Alleged Fraud
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
James Merrill entered a not-guilty plea for the TelexFree Inc. co-owner Wednesday in federal court in Worcester, his lawyer said.
Merrill, of Ashland, was president of the Marlborough-based phone service company, which is accused of running a $1 billion global pyramid scheme. His business partner, Carlos Wanzeler, remains a fugitive in Brazil and did not appear in court to face the charges.
Both men have been charged with nine counts of wire fraud and conspiracy. Each charge carries a possible maximum sentence of 20 years, but actual sentences are generally less than the maximums, according to the US Attorney’s office.
TelexFree sought federal bankruptcy protection in April, just as state and US securities regulators were days from filing civil fraud charges against the principals. Wanzeler fled the country that month to his native Vitoria, Brazil, while Merrill was arrested and held in jail for several weeks.
Merrill will remain home, wearing a GPS tracking bracelet and on $900,000 bail, officials said.

Dancing With The Stars Finalists, Ryan And Ashleigh Di Lello, Earn A Jeep Through Mynt
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Ryan and Ashleigh Di Lello are Latin ballroom champions known for their guest performances on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and for being the first married couple to be voted all the way to the finals of the hit FOX show So You Think You Can Dance.
So the question becomes: How do you parlay your dance skills into earning a Jeep through the 4×4 Program?
“We worked very hard to find good leaders to launch this business with. Then we focused on helping these leaders build their businesses by doing opportunity meetings and calls with new potential promoters,” Ryan says. “We taught them to do the same and organized meetings and charity events where our teams could invite new prospects.”
Fearless
Fear is rarely ever a productive emotion, and certainly not in business or in relationships. Ryan and Ashleigh both agree that they have taken a fearless approach to presenting the mynt opportunity. “We didn’t hold back when we thought of a new person to approach about this business.
We felt it was a disservice to them to not invite them to hear about such an incredible opportunity. We also make sure to always follow up. ‘The fortune is in the follow up,’ as they say.”
