In the world of Direct Sales, one of the all time greatest success stories is that of how Mary Kay Cosmetics grew from a small company in Dallas to become a global power.  Mary Kay is one of the world’s best selling brands with operations in over 37 countries.  The person who led that growth as chairman for many years is a man named John Richon.  John is known not only for his achievements with Mary Kay but for his knowledge of how Direct Selling works.  He is truly a visionary business leader.

John now heads his own family owned company, Richmont Holdings, which is based in Dallas, Texas.  The Richmont team is a talented group of experts in Direct Selling and in all of the skills that help build a business such as Marketing, Sales, Finance, and Strategic Planning.

Javalution (JCOF.PK), owners of the JavaFit Coffee brand, have formed an alliance with John Richon and his team at Richmont.  In this alliance, Richmont will work closely with Javalution Coffee Company to help grow sales and Direct Sales efforts.

Official announcement to be made later this week.

Now you have heard the rest of the story.

The recent event in Dallas was they very first Network Marketing event I have attended that was not within driving distance.

Previously I have not placed a high priority on such events and saw them as mainly hype. For some companies, this may be true. For me, my trip to Dallas was time and money well spent.

There were some opportunities that would not have happened had I stayed home. These included a face to face conversation with Scott Pumper (President of JavaFit) and a chance to get to know some of the JavaFit team on a more personal level. I met my sponsor for the first time and got to experience how he operates in person. These experiences and more cannot be replaced by Internet and telephone.

The best opportunities at these events do not happen inside the conference room.

Our next event is in Orlando, Florida in October. I want to help you get there.

For the people I enroll and for the people THEY enroll there will be some extra incentives offered by me personally. I have not fully decided though tickets to Disney World are
high on my list.

Let me know how I may help.

See you at the top!

Last fall, JavaFit announced that their first annual event that would be taking place this coming weekend.  My first thoughts revolved around the cost.  Even though JavaFit has arranged for a very reasonable rate for the hotel, if you add to that the cost of a flight from Calgary, meals, and other incidentals, the price is soon at or near $1,500.  This is a significant amount of money.  A bit much for me at the time.

Six weeks ago it became very apparent to me that, thanks to some of the benefits such as double and triple bonuses, I needed to find a way.  A plan was hatched to find $1,500 in six weeks.

After a chat with my good friend and business partner, I realize my trip is paid for if I sponsor five executives.  Easier said than done but certainly a goal to work toward.

One of my biggest concerns was that I did not have a passport which is now required of Canadians traveling to the USA.  Passport Canada was very efficient and I had my passport exactly 14 days after a visit to the Passport office in Edmonton.

My wife, who is always wonderfully supportive of me, helped me budget.  My mother-in-law suggested that we see if my flight could be paid for by Air Miles.  Thanks to Air Miles, a $650 return flight cost me $126.00.

Some insurance money came in that I was not expecting from an outstanding automobile claim.  More money to work with.

This morning I checked into the hotel and was told by the front desk that my room was already paid for.  At this time I do not know how or why.  A team member with whom I am sharing the room with may have earned it though that has not been confirmed.

After settling into the hotel, I get a call from Front Desk by a woman who tells me the room has been upgraded to a suite.  Again, I am not sure why.

In sixteen minutes I will meet my sponsor in person for the first time.  I am very excited to be in Dallas.

Jeffrey Combs says, “Make your move before you’re ready.”

As the result of recent events, I definitely agree.
