Exclusive Interview with Brian Cook And Michelle Jones Of Seacret

 
In a world where social media has obscured loyalty in network marketing, Brian Cook and Michelle Jones bring a timeless style to team building that has become scarce, rather than the norm. Their story may not be unique, but their attitude about the industry is refreshing. 
Jones was a successful woman living the American Dream when she had a sudden insight into her life, realizing she wasn’t happy. At the age of 34, she wondered if that was it for her — waking up, going to work, coming home, and starting the same routine again the next day, and the next day, and the next day. In a strange twist of irony, Jones reflects that working in retail she encountered thousands of people walking through the mall and never did a single person approach

Herbalife Beating Wall Street Odds In 2nd Quarter

 
USA Today reports: Shares of Herbalife shot up more than 7% in late trading Wednesday after the energy drink company posted better-than-expected financial results for the second quarter.
Herbalife, which has been waging an ugly battle with billionaire Bill Ackman over the legitimacy of its business, posted profits of $1.24 a share on $1.16 billion in sales.
Sales were down 11% from a year earlier due to “unfavorable” currency exchange rates in certain markets, the company said. Still, Herbalife shares shot up close to 8% in after-hours trading because Wall Street analysts had expected the company to post earnings of $1.11 a share on revenue of $1.14 billion.
Ackman, founder of hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, placed a $1 billion bet on the stock’s decline in 2012 on the theory that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme — an allegation the company denies.
Ackman shorted the stock at around $47 a share and came close to

Dexter & Tonya Scott Reach Global Director Rank With Total Life Changes

 
Dexter and Tonya Scott were introduced to Total Life Changes by their brother and sister-in-law, Executive Ambassador’s Gregg and Lenika Scott in December 2013. They signed up to become Independent Business Owners but did absolutely nothing at the time. Dexter was the Head of Admissions for a company founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that traveled students all over the world, while Tonya had the most important job on the planet, being a stay-at-home mom.
Dexter was earning over $100,00 as the Head of Admissions, so they didn’t take this opportunity seriously until Dexter was laid off from his position in May 2014, which completely eliminated their only source of income. This layoff occurred two days before they were leaving the country for a vacation in Italy.
“We were devastated by the loss

Top Member Of Herbalife’s Legal Team Leaves Company

 
The NY Post reports: A top member of Herbalife’s legal team has left the building.
Jim Berklas, who was the associate general counsel and chief compliance officer of the Los Angeles company, on Monday joined the Barnes Group, a Connecticut aviation company.
Berklas spent seven years with the diet shake seller that activist Bill Ackman has bet $1 billion is a pyramid scheme.
Herbalife has vehemently denied the accusation.
The exit of Berklas comes less then three months after Herbalife disclosed a criminal probe into its business practices and said a number of top executives and distributors have been subpoenaed by the Department of Justice.
At least one of those distributors, a veteran member of its 60-person “Chairman’s Club,” has become a whistleblower with law enforcement, The Post has learned.
Berklas is the first senior exec to leave Herbalife

Avon Looks To IT To Help Continue Improvement

 
The Wall Street Journal reports: Cosmetics giant Avon Products Inc. continues to attempt a turnaround amid falling sales and difficulty retaining its signature door-to-door representatives. Behind the scenes, Avon’s IT department is working to modernize the company’s IT architecture to usher the business into the digital age, says CIO Sue Liddie.
Today, Avon is embracing smaller regional implementations over global rollouts.

“We need to architect solutions fit for purpose, sensitive to and agile enough to respond to each of those groups,” Ms. Liddie said during an interview in June. Avon’s IT infrastructure should be built so individual markets can tweak technology when needed without disrupting the entire stack, she added.

Ms. Liddie says she hopes a more loosely coupled architecture will give Avon the agility to adapt quickly to individual market demands and expand online and

Industry Veterans Value Loyalty And Independence At Talk Fusion

 
With 30 years of experience in the direct selling industry, Blue Diamonds Jim and Leslie Brown of Sarasota, Florida became accustomed to “being their own boss.” That independence gave them the freedom to raise a large family of six children and 11 grandchildren on their own terms. “Our work has always revolved around our lifestyle and that flexibility is important to us,” Jim says. “That was especially true when we considered becoming involved with Talk Fusion almost 5 years ago.” 
After moving to Florida to retire, they were faced with unexpected adversity: their intended retirement investment was wiped out, literally overnight; they suddenly found themselves with nothing. “At this age, when you think you’re going to coast for a while, it was debilitating,” says Leslie. “You think you’re never going to find a way to
