Logis­tic

After sup­port­ing the ENERGETIX team in the Guten­berg Marathon a few days pre­vi­ous­ly (as already report­ed in FROGBLOG), extreme ath­lete Joey Kel­ly vis­it­ed the ENERGETIX head­quar­ters in Bin­gen in the mid­dle of May.

Design

This excep­tion­al ath­lete was very inter­est­ed in the wide range of prod­ucts and the com­pa­ny’s dif­fer­ent depart­ments, both of which he found out about dur­ing his vis­it. He took advan­tage of the oppor­tu­ni­ty to say hel­lo to the ENERGETIX staff and hand out auto­graphed cards and CDs.

The meet­ing last­ed sev­er­al hours and focused on Joey Kel­ly’s future col­lab­o­ra­tion with ENERGETIX Bin­gen. All we can say at the moment is that you can look for­ward to fur­ther excit­ing ENERGETIX cam­paigns with Joey Kelly!

Mar­ket­ing

NB: The extreme ath­lete was vis­i­bly impressed by the sil­i­cone sportEX bracelets: Joey Kel­ly had one on each wrist when he ran the half marathon in Mainz on 12 May and he was also wear­ing sportEX when he vis­it­ed Bingen.

This year the Novo Nordisk Guten­berg Marathon took place in Mainz on Mother’s Day. The 29-strong team of ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors and staff – togeth­er with Joey Kel­ly, whose pres­ence gave an extra boost to moti­va­tion – left the start­ing line at 9.30 am.

The half marathon course took the run­ners from the Town Hall through the city’s Old Town and Down­town areas, into the Weise­nau and Mom­bach dis­tricts and then back to the Town Hall/Rheingoldhalle start­ing point – to run down the home straight after a lit­tle over 21 kilometres.

The moti­va­tor
A true sports­man and gen­tle­man, Joey Kel­ly ran back unprompt­ed – after he had already crossed the fin­ish line – to help an exhaust­ed ENERGETIX run­ner com­plete the last few metres.

Run­ning beside her, he kept on encour­ag­ing our dis­trib­u­tor till she man­aged to reach the fin­ish line. Thank you, Joey!

Worn out but happy
All of the run­ners who start­ed for ENERGETIX crossed the fin­ish line after the half marathon course of exact­ly 21.0975 kilo­me­tres – in a cool 14°C tem­per­a­ture. With one excep­tion: one mem­ber of the ENERGETIX staff actu­al­ly ran the full 42 km marathon (well done, Erik)!

Sport­ing event with a char­i­ty aspect
For every kilo­me­tre run, ENERGETIX Bin­gen donat­ed three euros (instead of the one euro orig­i­nal­ly announced) to the char­i­ta­ble Hugo Tem­pel­man Foun­da­tion. As a result about 2,000 euros were raised for the good cause.

Near­ly 80 dis­trib­u­tors attend­ed a „first-rate“ sem­i­nar in Wet­zlar from 19 to 21 April 2013.

Four suc­cess­ful ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors and train­ers – Ulrich Lang, Sjaak Janssen, Sabine Kaiser-Mar­tin and Markus Dietz – were respon­si­ble for the pro­fes­sion­al input.

A great atmos­phere: the three-day train­ing event in Wet­zlar pro­vid­ed not only a lot of sug­ges­tions and prac­ti­cal tips but also plen­ty of fun and good entertainment.

The pro­gramme includ­ed home par­ties (giv­ing infor­ma­tion but pri­mar­i­ly con­cen­trat­ing on the goals the group iden­ti­fied as being nec­es­sary for suc­cess) and how to use „select­ed laws of dai­ly life“ in one’s work as an inde­pen­dent dis­trib­u­tor. In addi­tion, par­tic­i­pants learned how to han­dle frus­tra­tions (which some­times arise on the way to suc­cess) through a role-play exercise. 

The aim and focus on the Sun­day was on one’s own busi­ness –with the help of a „suc­cess jour­nal“ ded­i­cat­ed to express­ing one’s goals in pos­i­tive terms. 

The week­end sem­i­nar in Wet­zlar left par­tic­i­pants look­ing for­ward to the next meet­ing. And a fur­ther cause for plea­sure: 700 euros was raised for the Hugo Tem­pel­man Foun­da­tion as a result of the train­ing event!

At the start of May it was that time again: a meet­ing was held of the „best of the best“ – this time in Stras­bourg — to exchange ideas and take part in train­ing activities. 

The first day took the form of a get-togeth­er in a his­tor­i­cal set­ting. The pro­gramme includ­ed a sight­see­ing vis­it of the city and a boat tour on the Ill. In addi­tion, trib­ute was paid to the achieve­ments of the STARCLUB mem­bers and cer­tifi­cates were award­ed. On the sec­ond day, the actu­al train­ing day, the „stars“ heard the com­pa­ny news first hand from sole share­hold­er and CEO Roland Förster and CIO Alexan­der Link.

ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors can see the pho­tos of this very spe­cial two-day event via the Quick­News enti­tled „STARCLUB in the Euro­pean capital“.

The sportEX com­pe­ti­tion is in full swing. ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors mak­ing a final push with good sportEX sales will secure their chances of win­ning one of the cov­et­ed prizes! It’s worth stay­ing on the ball because the win­ners are to be award­ed sport and leisure equip­ment of their choice.

An adver­tis­ing email with the pro­duc­t’s rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Franziska van Alm­sick, and impor­tant infor­ma­tion about sportEX that will make your cus­tomers want to own the sporty and fash­ion­able acces­so­ry is avail­able to dis­trib­u­tors in the man­age­ment sys­tem (under Marketing/Sales/Advertising emails).

ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors may refer to the Quick­News sent out in Jan­u­ary for the com­pe­ti­tion’s terms and conditions.

We are delight­ed to note that sportEX is gain­ing promi­nence in more and more sports, as shown by top pro­fes­sion­al ath­letes and com­mit­ted amateurs.

sportEX bracelets

Ultra marathon run­ner Felix Knopp from the town of Much is the clas­sic exam­ple of a very suc­cess­ful sports­man who wears sportEX.

This can be seen in a short WDR TV report (of 27 March 2013) in the chan­nel’s „Lokalzeit aus Bonn“ pro­gramme, which shows Felix Knopp check­ing the paths of the Natursteig Sieg, a 115 km long-dis­tance nature trail, in dou­ble-quick time. He is vis­i­bly wear­ing a feath­er­weight sportEX bracelet… a light green one!

This 41-year-old mem­ber of the LLG St. Augustin club is a ded­i­cat­ed cross coun­try run­ner with impres­sive ultra marathon sta­tis­tics. True to the mot­to „Run to the lim­it“, this extreme ath­lete appar­ent­ly checks the entire trail at the run. The ultra races he has com­plet­ed include the 100 km Biel Run and the 50 km West­er­wald Run, which he won in 2010 in a time of 4 hours and exact­ly 10 minutes.

This year no less than world-renowned musi­cian and extreme ath­lete Joey Kel­ly will be sup­port­ing the ENERGETIX team in the Guten­berg Half Marathon in Mainz!

Joey Kel­ly will join the high­ly moti­vat­ed ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors and staff at the start line on Sat­ur­day, 12 May 2013. The race begins at 9.30 am.

As was the case last year, the ENERGETIX team will again be run­ning for a good cause: every kilo­me­tre run will increase the amount donat­ed to the Hugo Tem­pel­man Foun­da­tion. Don’t miss this date and be there on the side­lines on 12 May when Joey Kel­ly takes his place at the start, togeth­er with the ENERGETIX team.

NB: The mul­ti-tal­ent­ed Joey Kel­ly will also be there at the ENERGETIX Cat­a­logue Launch in Berlin on 31 August 2013 and moti­vate guests with an ener­getic talk – as dis­trib­u­tors already know.

Auto­graph ses­sion with Joey Kel­ly: Joey Kel­ly will be avail­able to sign auto­graphs for you after the race, at 1.30 pm, at the sportEX stand at the Run­ning Expo (to be held on 11 and 12 May) in Mainz’s Rheingoldhalle.
