"4Life employees were among hundreds of key industry leaders who participated in this year’s Direct Selling Association (DSA) Be Connected Conference in Henderson, Nevada. The annual event is designed as a best practices exchange to better equip corporate employees to serve independent distributors.

The focus of this year’s curriculum included social media, field development, and innovative marketing solutions. 4Life Web Services Director Nelson Altamirano was among the conference speakers. The focus of his presentation was on microsites, mobile technology, and ways that corporations can leverage technology to support leaders in the field.

Vice President of Communications Calvin Jolley:

Participation in these types of events distinguishes 4Life as a leader in the industry. Nelson’s presentation was important because it highlighted many ways in which we exceed our competitors in terms of the kind of online tools and resources we offer the field: mobile-ready websites, social media platforms, in-depth splash sites, and extensive back office reporting are just a few of the online opportunities that we invest in for our distributors.

4Life is good standing member in more than a dozen Direct Selling Associations (DSA) around the world, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Korea, Philippines, Colombia, Taiwan, Ecuador, Mexico, Thailand, Chile, Spain, and Indonesia.

4Life and DSA

2011-10-07T12:14:00.000-04:00

From the 4Life Newsletter:

"Earlier this week, 4Life President Steve Tew attended the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA) Regional Conference in Istanbul, Turkey. The conference theme, “East Meets West,” brought together experts from government, consumer groups, academia, and the global direct selling industry. While in Instanbul, Tew also attended the WFDSA CEO Council meeting.

The WFDSA is a non-governmental organization that represents the direct selling industry as a federation of national Direct Selling Associations. Membership consists of 58 national Direct Selling Associations and one regional federation, the Federation of European Direct Selling Associations.

4Life is good-standing member in over a dozen Direct Selling Associations (DSA) around the world, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Korea, Philippines, Colombia, Taiwan, Ecuador, Mexico, Thailand, Chile, and Spain.

4Life Sales and Recruiting - Record Breaking

2011-09-16T08:19:00.000-04:00

"In August 2011, a record-breaking number of new distributors became part of the 4Life opportunity in the United States and around the world.

4Life continues to set all-time sales and recruiting records as the company expands internationally. This growth is set against the backdrop of another dismal U.S. jobs report, a bleak employment forecast, and a struggling world economy.

President Steve Tew:

Our field's record-breaking recruiting activity indicates the value of residual income that so many independent distributors already enjoy. People want to work, but existing employers aren't hiring and governments are still trying to determine how to create jobs and stimulate economic growth. The 4Life opportunity provides the means for distributors to take control of their financial future.

In the midst of ongoing economic stagnation,

stated Mark Petersen, Vice President of Field Development,

it's important for our distributors to know that the 4Life opportunity has never been stronger.

For the month of August, the company posted a 22% increase in worldwide sales and issued a list of ten top-performing markets."

Top-Performing Markets by Percentage of Sales

USA: 22% • Korea: 24% • Mexico: 26% • Peru: 27%
Thailand: 28% • Colombia: 32% • Europe: 38% • Taiwan: 81%
New Zealand: 99% • Ecuador: 116%

Founder and CEO David Lisonbee:

On behalf of Bianca and the entire 4Life global corporate team, I thank and commend our business builders in the field. In the face of such economic adversity, this kind of growth represents the kind of perseverance indicative of true character.

Watch Steve Tew!! If you are considering a phenomenal company, please view the 4Life Opportunity

Midway through the decade anniversary of 4Life's first international region, sales continue to rise in Australia, New Zealand, and 4Life’s emerging market of Papua New Guinea.

In July 2011, President Steve Tew appeared via video broadcast to commend 4Life worldwide distributors for taking control of their financial lives.

Global sales are up more than 25%,

he stated from the 4Life global video bay.

Since that time, 4Life distributors throughout Australia have continued the charge. In July, combined sales for both markets were over 50% higher than July of 2010. This percentage indicates that 4Life distributors are sharing 4Life products and the opportunity more than ever before.

Evelyn Thom, General Manager, Australia and New Zealand:

It is wonderful to see such remarkable growth in Australia, New Zealand, and now in Papua New Guinea! Our distributors have worked so hard to nurture this emerging market, and their efforts are reaping great rewards. Although we represent 4Life’s first international region of business, our distributors continue to break records by sharing the latest science, technology, and 4Life’s proven opportunity with others. I am very proud to support the field in everything they do.

The percentages of growth in Australia and New Zealand reveal another important statistic: despite the market’s maturity, rank advancements are up 160% throughout the region, which indicates a strong future for distributors during the next decade.

Alan Michaelis, Vice President, International:

The combination of Evelyn’s corporate leadership and steadfast entrepreneurs in the field has been key to our most recent surge in growth. Partnerships are imperative in our business, and 4Life partnerships between corporate and the field have never been better.

From the 4Life News Center:

"4Life President Steve Tew recently authored a "Top Desk" feature article in the Direct Selling News, the world-leading trade journal for the direct selling industry. Tew wrote about the value of Direct Selling Association (DSA) membership for 4Life distributors.

The DSA’s history is one of collaboration, information exchange, united lobbying efforts, and public awareness campaigns designed to dispel negative myths about network marketing.

In his article, Ethics, Opportunity, Leadership: The ‘Platinum’ value of DSA membership for 4Life distributors, Tew describes how as a DSA-member company, 4Life entrepreneurs are beneficiaries of meaningful legislation, media opportunities, and a rich legacy of the DSA Code of Ethics.

We communicate our DSA membership to express our commitment to the principles set forth by the association and to empower you, our distributors, with knowledge about what to expect from 4Life,

Following a poor U.S. jobs report and an unemployment rate that ticked from 9.0% to 9.1% during the month of May, there is worry that economic recovery may not hold in the United States. Similar troubles abound around the world.

Despite these hardships, it appears that 4Life distributors are taking control of their financial future,

said Tew.

With global sales up more than 25% in May, commissions paid to distributors are at an all-time high.

4Life’s current Top-Performing Markets by Percentage of Sales for May 2011 represent 13 markets on three continents.

Top-Performing Markets By Percentage of Sales
Belgium 356% * Hong Kong¬: 228% * Thailand: 126% * Germany 64%
Ecuador: 61% * Peru: 54% * Eurasia: 51% * Philippines: 48% *
Colombia: 33% * Korea: 30% * Taiwan: 29% * Mexico: 23%* Spain: 23%

Trent Tenney, Senior Vice President, Marketing:

People around the world are leveraging 4Life to improve individual and familial lifestyles. What we’re witnessing is a megatrend in the areas of science, prosperity, and networking.

In addition to these top-performing markets by percentage of sales, 4Life’s five highest sales volume countries and/or regions include the United States of America, Malaysia, Eurasia, Colombia and Mexico."

David Lisonbee, 4Life Founder and CEO:

As we begin the push toward Passport to Freedom, our international convention in Philadelphia next April, I want to express my respect for the dedication and commitment of 4Life leaders around the world. With thirteen years of year-over-year growth, there’s never been a greater opportunity for others to succeed.

"On June 18, 4Life opened its 21st market with an international office in Jakarta,Indonesia. The event included an opening ceremony that attracted more than 800 people.

With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. The country has a population of approximately 240 million people. Jeff Kalinin, 4Life Senior Vice President, International:

This market has enormous potential and represents a fantastic opportunity for the people of Indonesia and 4Life distributors throughout Southeast Asia and around the world.

With a $25,000 donation to last year's tsunami, earthquake and volcano disaster in Indonesia, worldwide distributors have already shown the people of Indonesia the strength in unity that is exhibited through a commitment to the values of 4Life's science, success, and service.

Now, it's time for us to share our message of opportunity with the people of this fine country,

said General Manager, Indonesia Deddy Aryadi.

Our support staff in Jakarta is here to serve the distributors of 4Life’s newest international market with the same commitment to excellence that our executive team insists on from our worldwide employees.

Among the opening ceremony's attendees were Platinum International Diamonds Sadik Din and Hasnimah as well as Gold International Diamonds Tadashi Shinjo, Sheri Din, Akram Din, Richard Quek, Dr. S.S. Tamilselvan, Dr. Jase Khyeam, Salim Raghavan and Noor Azlina, and Rasid Kamisan.

Platinum Sponsorship, Direct Selling Association

2011-06-14T14:56:00.000-04:00

"4Life Research, a long-time member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), was a Platinum Sponsor of the 2011 DSA Annual Convention at Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach, Florida.

The event attracted network marketing executives from around the United States and world. Chief Financial Officer Mark Ostler; Senior Vice President, Marketing Trent Tenney; Vice President, Communications Calvin Jolley; and Vice President, Distributor Services Jaime Pierce were onsite with others to represent 4Life during the three-day event.

This year marked the retirement of DSA President and industry veteran Neil Offen. As a young lawyer in the 1970s, Offen worked on Capitol Hill to secure many of the legal safeguards that protect our businesses today. As a tribute to Offen's legacy and the ongoing role of the DSA, 4Life donated $10,000 to the new Neil H. Offen Direct Selling Image Enhancement Fund.

The DSA's mission is:

To protect, serve and promote the effectiveness of member companies and the independent business people they represent.

Member companies like 4Life pledge commitment to the DSA’s ethical business practices as set forth in the DSA Code of Ethics.

Trent Tenney, Senior Vice President, Marketing:

4Life is a world leader in the direct-selling marketplace because 4Life distributors are world leaders in the field. We thank our worldwide distributors for opportunities like this to participate in important industry events.

As part of the general session, 4Life employees Curtis Ostler and Jeff Millet appeared on video to support the Direct Selling Education Foundation (DSEF). Numerous 4Life employees also donated their time to collaborate with DSEF and competitors in a painting and gardening service project at the YWCA in downtown Miami.

4Life has offices on five continents to service a global network of independent distributors through science, success, and service."
