by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
T-Mobile US MVNO Solavei plans to launch its “phase two” services on Oct. 1, said CEO Ryan Wuerch. He said phase two would include a new compensation scheme, a refined focus on the Hispanic market and new offerings on its Solavei Marketplace program.
Wuerch declined to provide exact details on phase two. He said the new compensation program would be rolled out to current Solavei customers during the next several weeks now and that the company would publicly announce the changes at the beginning of next month.
Although Wuerch declined to provide many details around the company’s plans for the Hispanic market, he said that fully 70 percent of the company’s new customers last month were Hispanic and Solavei is working to entice additional customers in that demographic. As for the company’s Solavei Marketplace, which it launched in September 2013, Wuerch said the company plans to integrate payments and rewards more tightly into the system, and to allow users to easily enter their existing credit cards into the Marketplace in order to more easily receive discounts and rebates.
Solavei launched in 2013 with a $49 per month unlimited voice, text and data plan on T-Mobile’s network. The company designed its service as a referral

However, with the recent launch of their new products: WUN fit, a suite of health products that improves body function and helps regulate unwanted fat and build lean muscle as well as new Thunder products, their energy drinks.
Although WUN is coming aboard with a health and wellness menu that many may feel is a saturdated network marketing marketing avenue, they bring a relatively untapped approach: social media and internet marketing, calling themselves a ‘social distribution network’.

by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments

Herbalife About To Settle Class-Action Lawsuit
by Tina Williams • • 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

Visalus 2 Star Ambassador’s, Dallas And Wendy Gareau, Earn 500k In Lifetime Earnings
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Dallas and Wendy Gareau accepted the PROJECT 10™ Challenge in 2011 because they wanted to lose weight and feel better—but what resulted was much more than a health transformation.
In 2014, the couple broke more than $500K in lifetime earnings. It’s a milestone that marks an impressive achievement, as they’re driven by more than monetary rewards.
“We never started promoting The Challenge for money or to build a business,” says Dallas. “We only started because we wanted to see if our 90-day Challenge and drinking the Vi-Shape® Shake would work for us.”
Dallas has dropped 46 lbs. and Wendy has shed 30 lbs.* since starting their Challenge. This incredible transformation inspired them to share their story with every person they could.
“With zero to minimal experience, we built an entirely organic business,” stated Wendy. “We have been blessed so abundantly, and we want to pay it forward.”
Prosperity for Others
“The biggest reward promoting Vi is working with others and knowing our own success is revealed through helping those we care about,” says Wendy.
In fact, she has helped her sister and uncle lose more than 200 lbs. collectively* and gain financial freedom by introducing them to the same PROJECT 10 Challenge that changed her own life.
