OBTAINER - QNET

The London 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be opened by Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on July 27 and shall end on August
12 2012. Badminton shall be played at Wembley Arena in North
West London from July 28 with the finals played on August 3,4
and 5 2012. 172 participants will be competing for medals in five
competitions namely the men's singles, women's singles, men's
doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.
QNet has been involved in sports sponsorships from motorsports,
football to hockey and badminton. What does direct
selling and sports have in common? An athlete starts out with a
dream to become a champion, a winner! She performs to the best
of her ability and ultimately achieves that coveted gold medal. A
direct seller sets out each day with a dream of a certain lifestyle
and residual income to see him well into retirement. He performs
by recruiting a massive downline and he too ultimately gets those
keys to the condo on the beach he has always dreamed about.
They both have three things in common. Dreams, Performance
and Achievement, which is why QNet considers sports sponsorship
as part of its being. QNet has, over the years, built a solid
and global brand reputation.
With a little over two weeks left before the start of the London
2012 Olympic Games, Hadia is a very busy woman juggling with
training and workout sessions and traveling between different
venues. To keep her energy level high, she has been wearing
QNet's Veloci-Ti Pendant and comments, “I love energy products
… they are always with me on my journeys. I wear my Velocity-Ti
Pendant during Practice.” We at OBTAINER shall be following
Hadia's game and we wish her the best of luck.
