United Networker Magazine

Dear Readers,
You probably all know the quote „Use it or lose it“. Last
month I talked about changes. In our case, change is a
continuous development. In June 2012 we started with an
idea of an international magazine. Now looking back after
300 days we can say that this was the right decision!
Please allow me now to give you a little preview into the next six months:
1. Since last week our new shop system is online. You can purchase single copies, as well as our various subscriptions
online. You should take the time and have a look!! Visit the store at http://www.unitednetworkershop.com/
2. Having had a number of discussions we decided to program our own electronic version of the United Networker
Magazine. The launch of this brand new system will take place by the end of April. You can expect some exciting
information and you should look forward to it!!
3. As we officially announced in March, we are in the pre-launch phase of the Russian-language magazine. The first stage
will be released as an “ePaper” format and then later in printed form. Again, the preparations are in full swing. Our
russian readers should be looking for this edition!!
4. Next to these changes I can already tell you that we are working on another language which we believe is indispensable
for the Network Marketing World.
By introducing “ePaper” and adding additional languages, we will be in the right position to be the best medium keeping you
informed about the industry with the ultimate goal to assist you in expanding your business far beyond your personal goals!
The current cover story gives you a glimpse into the global market and events. You should get ready for some big numbers!
I hope you enjoy reading this edition of United Networker Magazine. God bless you!
Sincerely
Markus Th. Ruediger

Snow Volleyball Tour 2013 powered by Amway
For the second time in a row five renowned
winter sport spots in the alps will host the
Snow Volleyball Tour powered by Amway.
From the beginning of March till the middle of
April 2013 in Switzerland, Austria, Germany
and Italy, fifty international Beach volleyball
professionals from nine nations will fight for
the title „King of the Tour 2013“.
Three courts per venue will be available
for the athletes. The centre court will be
situated at a scenic and wintery 2000m
above sea level. The stadium capacity of the
area amounts to 2000 people per location.
The organizer of this event expects to
reach the record number of approximately
5000 fans who came to the volleyball tour
stop in Wagrain 2011, again this year. It`s
not surprising that many international
professional players consider these extreme
sport events as their favourite tournament.
Especially concerning the rapid development
of this sport form we are faced with a positive
trend. In November 2011 Snow Volleyball
was announced as an official sport by the
Austrian volleyball organisation (ÖVV) and it
is excepted that further societies from the
participating locations will follow.
Match modus:
The Snow Volleyball Tour 2013 powered by
Amway will be played by eight male only
teams per court.
The organizer fixes seven professional teams
and one pair will get a wildcard, which will
be awarded on the first match day among all
participants in “Single Elemination”. For the
semi-finals two groups of four will play on
the main court, consequently followed by the
Grand Finale.

North America’s Health and Fitness Solution Celebrates Sales Milestone at National Success Training Event
Los Angeles, CA, – An audience of more than 10,000
celebrated the announcement of ViSalus reaching its
billionth dollar sold since the company’s establishment
in 2005. The news was buoyed by the recent release
of the company’s 2012 fourth quarter sales bringing
ViSalus’ total 2012 annual sales to $623 million, which
represents growth of 171% from 2011.
The sales milestone is one of several key highlights
of the National Success Training event held in Los
Angeles on March 22-24, 2013, by ViSalus, a company
dedicated to helping people transform their health
and fitness through the Body by Vi 90-Day Challenge.
„No doubt 2012 was a watershed year for ViSalus,”
said Ryan Blair, Co-Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of ViSalus. “The success of our direct-toconsumer
strategy and simple, social selling message
demonstrates that the Challenge resonates with
hundreds of thousands of people looking for support
and a solution to achieving their health and fitness
goals.”
Blake Mallen, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer,
stated, “ViSalus helped over 1.5 million people make
their health a priority in the last year alone. To
celebrate this success, we kicked off 2013 with a
campaign to conquer obesity.” Mr. Mallen noted that
more than 1,500 people have participated in Project
10, a ViSalus initiative that awards a total of $10,000
to 10 people who lose 10 pounds every week through
participation in the Body by Vi 90-Challenge. To date,
over 15,000 pounds have been lost by Project 10
participants, and a total of $80,000 has been awarded
to weekly winners so far this year.
ViSalus also announced its planned expansion later
this year into the United Kingdom, the population
of which has the third highest percentage of obesity
globally, behind Mexico and the US. Currently one in
four adults in the UK is obese, and by 2050 that figure
is expected to rise and encompass 60% of men, 50%
of women, and 25% of children.
Surpasses $1 Billion in Sales
“Expanding to the UK is in keeping with ViSalus’s
mission to take weight off the world,” stated Co-Founder and Global Ambassador Nick Sarnicola. “Given the tremendous impact the Body by
Vi 90-Day Challenge has had to the health and wellness of millions of people in the North America, we are excited at the prospect of dramatic
improvement in the lives of people in the UK.”
ViSalus also announced the appointment of Ros Simmons as Managing Director of Vi (UK). Prior to joining ViSalus, Simmons was Vice President
of Global Brands at The Licensing Company, where she was responsible for creating strategies and implementing worldwide brand extension
and licensing programs for Coca-Cola, Hearst Corp and Reckitt Benckiser.
Other convention highlights included testimonials from Terry Bollea „Hulk Hogan“
Reality TV Star Ruby Gettinger, Teresa Scanlan „Miss America 2011“, Jerry & Estella Hayes Season 7 „Biggest Losers: Couples” and Cris Judd on
how participation in the Challenge has helped them achieve their health and fitness goals.

Unicity‘s Reward Trip to Dubai
Unicity’s Make Life Better Rewards Trip in Dubai was packed full of
great experiences, fun excursions, and powerful leadership training.
Unicity distributors from all over Europe traveled to Dubai for an allexpenses-paid
vacation, and enjoyed every moment of the four-day,
three-night trip.
On Thursday, Unicity distributors started the day with a leadership
training by top leaders. Everyone then went on a desert safari tour
where they drove over sand dunes in SUVs. The ride was an exciting
adventure with many steep turns and hills.
The next day, the group enjoyed a day trip to Abu Dhabi—going to
Ferrari World where they enjoyed riding roller coasters, looking at
exotic cars, and relaxing next to a racetrack.
Another highlight from the trip was ascending to the observatory
deck of the tallest building in the world: the Burj Khalifa. From there,
it felt as though we were as mingling with the jets as they flew
across the sky.
In addition to the excitement of the excursions, there was a closing
reception and dinner on the palm island. The venue was wonderful,
the food was delicious, and the company of people was great! It was
a perfect ending to a great trip in Dubai.
Unicity deeply values all Unicity distributors and organizes these
trips to recognize them and their accomplishments, and to help
them feel appreciated for the hard work they do each day in trying
to Make Life Better for others around the world.

Cover Story
14 United Networker Magazine • March 2013
1. Current Situation
The world is a commercial society with
people buying and selling products around
the clock thanks to the global marketplace
and structure of the Internet. There are
different techniques used for selling
products, but so far, direct selling has proven
to be the best. Consumers like one-to-one
interactions. They are personable and they
allow relationship building. Direct sellers
have the opportunity to do what no one else
can do and that includes bonding with their
client, defining their needs and providing
them with personalized solutions for their
problems.
This is why direct selling still remains
number one all over the world. In a society
where everything is based on numbers and
people are forced to interact with machines
on a daily basis, salespeople have become
one of the most critical factors for driving
production and market revenues. In fact,
direct sellers are responsible for up to 90
percent of the world’s retail sales. This is
an astounding and remarkable figure when
taken into consideration. The countries
surveyed in the recent analysis conducted by
the WFDSA Global Research Sub-Committee,
United States DSA Industry Research
Committee, and Insights Lead and Consumer
& Market Insights for Amway revealed that
of the 22 countries surveyed, each produces
more than $1 billion in sales each year. That
is a tremendous amount of money and there
is still potential for more.

2. Points to Ponder
Cover Story
This review brings to light many important
considerations including the following:
• China is growing and making
considerable strides in its growth which
includes moving up in sales by nearly
50% to $12.5 billion dollars in recent
years.
• Several European nations are averaging
direct sales in the amount of $3 billion
dollars.
• Brazil is responsible for maintaining the
top four markets, including Peru.
• South Korea is now averaging $12
billion per year.
• The United States leads in sales at
$29.9 billion.
• Japan comes at a close second
averaging $23.9 billion dollars in direct
sales.
• Venezuela experienced a 75.5 percent
growth.
• Malaysia experienced a 30.9 percent
sales growth.
• Globally, 76 percent of direct sellers use
the person-to-person method when
it comes approaching their customers
successfully.
• Approximately 18 percent use a party
plan approach.
Overall, the direct selling industry is

“Dan`s Trainings Matters”
Training matters; observations, insights and
experienced gained in the area of training.
And also ‘matters’ as a verb, as in Training
really matters.
Expand a person’s thinking and you have expanded
his world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - „The mind, once stretched by
a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions”
A couple of simple examples: a child works out what
a door handle does. Life is never the same again. A
child works out that he can drag a chair to reach the
cookies high up in the cupboard… A child works out
how your iPhone works, you share your password to
unlock it, you give him your iTunes credentials – don’t
be surprised to find a £100 bill for ‘gems’ in a game
you never downloaded. But never mind the bill, think
instead about how the child’s mind has expanded.
But the things I want to talk about with regard to
training and especially training in direct selling are
more profound than this.
In the last article I wrote: “…training in direct selling is
all about shifting people’s sense of what is possible,
about what is important, and, finally, about who you
are and what you are for. All of the things I have
spoken about so far drives into this: if you shift a
person’s sense of self, if you change his self-image,
then you have changed the whole game. And this is
what training in our industry has the potential to do.
Take the scene that is such a common occurrence
in our industry: a person has finally relented and is
attending an opportunity meeting at the behest of a
friend. This is not the first invitation he has received
but this time he ran out of excuses, the stars were
suddenly aligned just right, or he kind of thought that
he ultimately had nothing to loose. For whatever
reason, he is there.
At the beginning of the meeting he made a mental
pact with himself, ‘There is no way I am buying
anything here tonight.’ He sat through the host
introducing the evening’s proceedings. He chuckled

at the right places, nodded on cue almost despite
himself, and reluctantly raised his hand a couple of
times when the speakers asked questions.
At the end of the product presentation he was more
impressed than he would have guessed he would be.
After the compensation plan part he could have been
made to agree that it all kind of did make sense. And
the company did seem to be fairly OK.
When the final speaker comes on, to do a ‘training’,
he is not sure if he is supposed to really be here
– maybe this part is really for distributors in the
company.
The speaker is well dressed, seems very at ease with
speaking to a relatively large crowd, is surprisingly
polished and actually quite funny. And despite
himself, our guest is taking it all in.
The trainer is talking about things that make obvious
sense, almost homespun truths in some cases, but
other things are really making our guest think. At
the end of the training, our guest is giving a sincere
standing ovation, the same as everyone else.
Imagine that we interviewed him afterward:
“Did you enjoy the trainer?”
“Yes, very much.”
“What did you enjoy the most?”

“Hmmm, hard to say, really. “ He is thinking about
the question, mulling it over in his mind. “He
made me think, really. I mean, it is not that he
said anything I didn’t know already. More that he
reminded me of things I have known all my life.”
“But motivational?”
“Yes, very much. I guess he reminded me that I don’t
have limitations. Except those I accept myself!” He
paused and laughed. “He said that, didn’t he!?”
Maybe he did and maybe he didn’t, but the point I
am making about all of this is that in our industry,
which is an industry where you can build something
extraordinary even if you are ordinary, the first thing
we have to do is inspire the people. We have to
remind them that life can be amazing. We reconfirm
that this life is an adventure. We champion the belief
that you are amazing. We challenge the status quo,
we shake the bonds of lethargy and unconscious
acceptance of limitation, and we unequivocally state
that You Can Do It. Whatever it is that you want to
do, you can. Whatever your dream is, you can have
it.
Looking at the process more closely, what happened
with our guest is that he arrived with a set of beliefs
and values, and indeed a sense of self, that was ‘abc’.
After the trainer they were ‘ABC+’.
He might have believed that direct selling was
pyramid selling; he might have had judgements about
it that only losers were involved, that it doesn’t work,
that it in some way was illegal, immoral or both!
His values may have been shifted. Instead of thinking
‘greed’ he may now be thinking ‘freedom’. Instead of
acquiescing to limitations and being settled with his
limited palette options in terms of work and career,
maybe now he is inspired to look for more, look for
bigger choices, and not settle for less than what he
really wants. And so on.
But most importantly, maybe the trainer managed to
remind him of how much potential he has. Maybe
the trainer managed to remind him that he was born
courageous and creative. Maybe he remembered
that he has a whole series of achievements
already, that his life is already demonstrating
accomplishments. And maybe, just maybe, our guest
leaves the training asking himself, “What else could
I do?”
Emerson also said, “Where there is no vision a people
perish.”
The vision I am interested of in the context of this
article is of the inherent capability of the people in
the audience. The great trainers, the people in our
industry who do the road, who have paid the price
travelling from training to training, who in meeting
after meeting, large or small, in the flesh or online on
countless webinars, what they are really doing is not
“presenting an opportunity.”
What they are really doing is expanding people’s
self-image. They are reminding the audience that
they, really, can do anything. They are reminding
them that they were born with potential and that,
no matter where you are, you have all the resources
available to you to make a change. In that sense the
trainer expands the audience mind. And of course,
as we started this article, once expanded it cannot go
back.
A story I have often told is about that young man in
Amsterdam who came up to me after the training,
shook my had and said, “I think you have changed
my life.” To this day, I think he was right (except
that I was just the catalyst and he did all the work!)
because what happened was that he experienced
an expansion of self and possibilities. That change
is permanent, similar to what happens when you hit
the big pin.
But we will talk that in the next article, if I make a link
to training somehow!
All good,
Dan
