by Ted Nuyten • November 3, 2018 • 0 Comments

Brett and Andrea Griffin from Canada are Double Diamonds and have been in Network Marketing for about 5 years.
This is what they had to say:
Was Valentus your first company?
Andrea was introduced to Network Marketing with another company for a short time before Valentus. It is Brett’s first company. Andrea joined Brett when she discovered it was a great opportunity that was hard to ignore. It combines the health industry and the coffee industry.
Who told you about Valentus?
Good friends of ours who are successful, traditional, business owners introduced us to Valentus. We trusted that if they were a part of the company, it had to be a great opportunity.
What made you join?
We realized that we had a chance here to help so many of our friends and family, including ourselves, get on a path to healthier living. We live in a small community in rural Manitoba, Canada and our brick and mortar business grew faster than we could handle. We were forced to close our retail store and Brett was working long hours away from home. We were struggling financially and knew this was the avenue to get us to where we wanted to be, while able to help so many people who are struggling financially
