The WOW! Global Launch Event was a huge success!  Distributors from around the world attended the event to learn more about WellnessPro and to become excited and motivated for the year to come.

Saturday morning began with an early morning "No Gym Required" work-out with our fitness expert, Reza Pazooki.  Everyone who attended got a hard work-out and was energized for the rest of the day.  When they finished their exercise, they stopped by the WellnessPro Smoothie Bar to make shakes.  It was the perfect breakfast to get ready for the big day’s events.

The General Session started off with a very impressive video showing the future of WellnessPro.  Everyone was so pleased with the video that it got a standing ovation.  We will have the video available for download very soon.  It should be the video that you show your prospective distributors.

Stephen Parks, Director of Global Marketing began the Event with talks about many topics including the Corporate Vision, the hybrid business model and the company's plans for 2010.  Tatiana Kolpakov, Executive Vice-President of Marketing, talked about the products, their benefits and the science and technology behind the products.  She also talked about the many reviews and clinical trials about our products.  Then Claudia Del Valle, Marketing Manager, spoke about the Hispanic market, who number more than 45.5 million in the United States alone as of 2007.  She talked about the different ways to sell to the Hispanic market and how it is more of a person-to-person approach.

After lunch, we had many guest speakers, including the keynote speech from Johnny Royal about the future of marketing and introducing new avenues to sell products including Socialnomics and Viral Marketing.

Johnny Miller showed an amazing video about a groundbreaking Facebook application that will only be available to WellnessPro Distributors!  So if you don’t have a Facebook account, you need to get one soon.  Go to www.facebook.com and sign up today!

G.E.T. I member, Todd Boschee, talked about the new toll-free number that you can use to have a prospect call and they will hear a 4 minute talk about WellnessPro Nutrition and also the Business Opportunity.

Wally Czech brought down the house with his song, "We Will Shake You".  He pumped up the crowd and got them excited before his speech.  He spoke about Duplication, which is a system that if you recruited 3 people and in the next month those three people recruited three people and you repeated that pattern up to 12 months you will have earn over $8 million!  Very impressive!

Marvin Neufeld and Betty Greenwood talked about Edification and Sponsoring.  Edification is the act of uplifting someone.  So if you give credibility to your up-line and they in turn give credibility to you, then your customer is more likely to buy from you.  For this reason, sometimes it’s important to have your up-line on your calls with your customers.  Betty talked about selling the product to everyone and telling the audience that WellnessPro is a gift that you are giving your customers to change their lives forever.

The most moving talk of the day was given by Dave McElhinney, who talked about the Nehemiah Construction Ministries, which will become WellnessPro’s new charity.  The construction creates water wells for people who don’t have clean drinking water in Africa.  For more information, go to the following link: www.nehemiahconstruction.ca 

We all took a break and got all dressed up for the Cocktail Party and Hollywood Photo Shoot.  The photo shoot was a lot of fun and a highlight of the event.  All of the Distributor’s "inner celebrities" came out with Oscar statues and a table full of "bling" to wear during the shoot.  We will have an on-line gallery of photos for your review up very shortly.  

After dinner we had the Recognition Rally and Party.  Distributors who were recognized were:

Once the accolades were given out, the party started and Distributors danced until the wee hours of the morning.  

On Saturday, we had the final session which included talks from Tatiana, Stephen and Claudia.  Stephen talked about the PCO, flexible ACO, and the new Rewards and Recognition Contest.  Details about the new promotion were given out this week.  Claudia spoke about the new Wellness Clubs and Weight Loss Challenges as new examples to market.

The highlight of the day was Tatiana’s launch of Omega Ultra, which is available for sale now!  It's retail price is $46.00, SKU # 5004, RV 20.

Finally, the distributors from Kazakhstan gave all  the WellnessPro Staff and the Guest Speakers traditional hats and gifts from their country.   It was a wonderful surprise.  Everyone here at WellnessPro were very thankful for the great gifts.

The Wow! Global Launch Event was an educational and fun time for all who attended.  We hope to see you the next time we have an event!!
