ENERGETIX celebrities gain media attention: the exclusive ENERGETIX photo shoot with Ronan Keating and Franziska Knuppe

The fact that pop star Ronan Keat­ing and mod­el Franziska Knuppe go very well togeth­er – and not just visu­al­ly, either – was rec­og­nized even by the Berlin-based Bild-Zeitung (Ger­many’s most pop­u­lar tabloid) in its 13 June edi­tion. The paper fea­tured an arti­cle on the ENERGETIX pho­to shoot (for the eager­ly await­ed 2013–2014 ENERGETIX cat­a­logue) with inter­na­tion­al stars.

ENERGETIX Franziska Knuppe and Ronan Keat­ing clear­ly had a lot of fun dur­ing the ENERGETIX shoot and ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors can look for­ward to the pho­tos and the new jew­ellery col­lec­tion with great antic­i­pa­tion. The cre­ative devel­op­ment process is in top gear: the cat­a­logue and jew­ellery will be pre­miered on 31 August at the Cat­a­logue Launch in Berlin.

He’s a real winner: Joey Kelly wins the world’s first-ever underwater cycle race

Bild4It’s a well known fact that Joey Kel­ly is game for (almost) any­thing that is fun, for any off­beat sport­ing event. So he did­n’t miss the chance to take part in one of the most unusu­al races in the world, the first under­wa­ter cycle race, which took place in Großen­brode on the Baltic coast on 27 June. The enthu­si­as­tic sportEX-wear­er lined up at the start with two oth­er extreme ath­letes – the sil­i­cone bracelets are clear­ly vis­i­ble in the photos.

Wolf­gang Kulow, the ini­tia­tor of the event, had tried out under­wa­ter cycling at mid­day togeth­er with Mar­cel Heinig and Joey Kel­ly … in a swim­ming pool. In the evening the three of them then took to the „course“, which ran par­al­lel to Lehn­sahn Pier in the Baltic.

The Fear­less Three took on the chal­lenge wear­ing a wet­suit, an oxy­gen tank and 70 kg of weights. They had to enter the chilly water three times and cycle 600 m out and back with this addi­tion­al bur­den. Joey Kel­ly won ahead of Wolf­gang Kulow, with Mar­cel Heinig in third place.

Sat1 Region­al TV and NDR region­al pro­grammes report­ed on the event, which was watched by about 2500 spec­ta­tors. And ENERGETIX was there, too, in the form of a banner.

Con­grat­u­la­tions, Joey.

Career tips from the STARCLUB: Christine Moussu at the ENERGETIX headquarters in Bingen

Her career has been noth­ing short of incred­i­ble. Chris­tine Mous­su has been out and about with ENERGETIX Bin­gen design­er jew­ellery for a mere 10 months in her native France, in the vicin­i­ty of the world famous Mont St. Michel, and has already achieved phe­nom­e­nal suc­cess­es: mem­ber of the STARCLUB, qual­i­fi­er in the Kenya com­pe­ti­tion, top of the list of the best for GSV and most recent­ly proud dri­ver of an ENERGETIXDRIVE vehicle. 

She is very mod­est when talk­ing about her spec­tac­u­lar start. „I love the prod­ucts, I love the peo­ple and I love work­ing,“ she said dur­ing her vis­it to the Bin­gen head­quar­ters on 1 July, a vis­it that enabled her and her col­league Rémy Truet to get a first impres­sion of how things oper­ate there.

130702_DSC_3403_Moussu_RF_Truet_low

Her recipe for suc­cess is very plau­si­ble: „I work in a very rur­al area. A lot of work­ers live there, a lot of peo­ple who work in agri­cul­ture. They love to have an oppor­tu­ni­ty to get togeth­er from time to time. And our prod­ucts sell best if you are sit­ting round a table with 10 or 12 peo­ple and you take your time. It’s not like being at a mar­ket or a super­mar­ket, where every­one wants some­thing dif­fer­ent. Here you can take your time, you are in good com­pa­ny, you find out about good prod­ucts and have good moments. In an atmos­phere like this, fol­low-up book­ings are a mat­ter of course. And then there’s the cri­sis and the weath­er’s been bad for weeks. When I show peo­ple the jew­ellery, it’s like giv­ing them a cou­ple of hours of sun­shine and a break from their dai­ly routine.“

There are always 2 or 3 cus­tomers at Christine’s get-togeth­ers who are already famil­iar with the prod­ucts and more or less take over the sales pitch. „It’s like with a car that you’re sat­is­fied with. You talk to friends and neigh­bours about it and sud­den­ly they are dri­ving the same sort of car themselves.“

Chris­tine has anoth­er tip that oth­ers would be well advised to fol­low: „If I vis­it a com­pa­ny to get new cus­tomers, ini­tial­ly I don’t sell jew­ellery – because the result would be good but lim­it­ed. No, I arrange jew­ellery pre­sen­ta­tion get-togeth­ers with the employ­ees. As a rule, I make 15 to 20 appoint­ments, then sales get going again. Obvi­ous­ly the result is that I have a lot of work to do but I’m absolute­ly enthu­si­as­tic about the job. And peo­ple notice it and this con­tributes to my success.“

Thank you, Chris­tine, for talk­ing to us. Here’s wish­ing you lots of con­tin­ued success! 

Top earnings from jewellery presentations: interview with Karin Becker

Jew­ellery pre­sen­ta­tions are just „a whole lot of fun“ for ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors Karin and Klaus Beck­er. Along with fairs and mar­kets, says Karin, home par­ties are an ide­al tool „if you want to make mon­ey quick­ly“. Because the suc­cess­es are cal­cu­la­ble. In con­crete terms, the suc­cess­ful cou­ple tells its new recruits how many par­ties a dis­trib­u­tor needs to run to earn a par­tic­u­lar amount of money.

Moti­vat­ing slogan
When Karin joined ENERGETIX Bin­gen (just under 10 years ago), she already had expe­ri­ence in direct sell­ing. Her hus­band Klaus has been work­ing in the field for four years. They use a dif­fer­ent slo­gan every year and this year it is „Because sim­ple is sim­ply sim­ple“. It designed to echo their recipe for suc­cess, their absolute dic­tum „Get back to sim­plic­i­ty“ – which they nev­er tire of pass­ing on to their con­stant­ly grow­ing down­line. Dis­trib­u­tors don’t have to invent any­thing new. „Just be more avail­able for peo­ple and you will get bookings.“

Der Spaß darf nicht zu kurz kom­men „Geht raus, habt Spaß und vergesst natür­lich auch das Buchen nicht“, so bringt Karin Beck­er ihren Tipp an Ver­trieb­spart­ner ganz prag­ma­tisch auf den Punkt. „Es soll Spaß machen, das Geschäft. Wenn man Spaß an der Sache hat, Leute zum Lachen bringt und Leute ein­bindet, dann bekommt man auch Par­tys gebucht.“

Natür­lich sind Karin und Klaus Beck­er auch häu­fig – und eben­falls mit viel Freude – auf Märk­ten anzutr­e­f­fen: „Vier Leute am Stand und Spaß für 20.“ So bekam das Paar schon zu hören: „Ich habe noch nie so einen lusti­gen Stand gese­hen!“ Zudem rät Karin Beck­er, „nicht den Verkauf in den Vorder­grund zu stellen.“ Die unverkrampfte Herange­hensweise an ihre Tätigkeit empfehlen die bei­den nicht nur, sie leben ihr Cre­do selb­st, machen auch gerne mal „was Ver­rück­tes; nicht nur Schema F.“

Hil­fe anbi­eten – Fra­gen sind aus­drück­lich erwünscht
Karin Beck­er hält wenig von fes­ten Konzepten, einge­fahre­nen Abläufen. Sie agiert dynamisch, bietet ihre Hil­fe an, regt zu Fra­gen an: „Neue sollen ein­fach Fra­gen stellen.“

Feed­back
Karin und Klaus Beck­er erhal­ten für Ihre Arbeit viel pos­i­tives Feed­back. „Was war das für ein schön­er Abend“ – solch pos­i­tives Feed­back von Kun­den und Gast­ge­bern sei für sie „das Toll­ste“. Gle­ichzeit­ig ist es dem erfol­gsver­wöh­n­ten Paar auch wichtig, sehr viel ganz ehrlich­es Feed­back zu geben. Denn nur so komme man voran, könne an sich arbeiten.

Vie­len Dank für das per­sön­liche Gespräch, Karin Becker.

„Dear dis­trib­u­tors,

A cheery „Hel­lo“ now we’re home again. We all arrived safe­ly back in Frank­furt this morn­ing – a bit tired but extreme­ly hap­py! So much hap­pened dur­ing our last few hours in Kenya and on the return jour­ney that I real­ly have to break my promise to stop writ­ing blog reports and say: here’s another.

1

First of all, here are the pho­tos of the last evening in Kenya and the farewell meal. We dined in a restau­rant in a cave, 50 feet below sea lev­el but with a view of the sky. It is cer­tain­ly not called „Ali Babour’s“ for noth­ing, it felt like we were sur­round­ed by gold! (Also see the report of day 7)

Lit­tle anec­dote: some­one has opened a restau­rant called „The 40 Thieves“ not very far away, no doubt in the hope of shar­ing in Ali Baba’s good for­tune – but as far as I could see it was emp­ty. That’s the way it is with com­pe­ti­tion: if you’re bet­ter, you come out on top. So don’t be afraid, just be bet­ter! read more

„Jambo Bwana“

„Jam­bo, Jam­bo Bwana, habari gani? Mzuri sana!
Wageni mwakaribish­wa, Kenya yetu haku­na matata.
Kenya nchi nzuri. Haku­na matata.
Nchi ya kupen­deza. Haku­na matata.
Nchi ya ma’ajabu. Haku­na matata.
Nchi yenye amani. Haku­na matata.“

„Dear dis­trib­u­tors,
Today I’d like to tell you about an abort­ed cruise, four-poster beds and tears. This will also (alas!) be the last report from Kenya. All good things come to an end but … 

IMG_8275Got up at six o’clock, trav­elled to the boat by bus, cruised out to sea for 30 min­utes and then the cruise was called off – it was a bit­ter blow. But it was just too windy and rainy – the pho­to Roland took speaks vol­umes. But every­one took it like a champ and returned to the hotel with heads held high. „That’s that done then.“ That’s the Ener­getix team spir­it for you! And it’s typ­i­cal of this trip and of us gen­er­al­ly: every­one helps each oth­er in joy and sad­ness. As a „non-dis­trib­u­tor“ I’ve been delight­ed and moved to watch and remem­ber from the side­lines – and see it hap­pen time and again. Some­one helps some­one else out with mos­qui­to spray, they mas­sage one anoth­er’s sprained ankles and offer med­i­cines for minor aches and pains. And do so as nat­u­ral­ly as the way they are for­ev­er exchang­ing tips and tricks on sell­ing Ener­getix prod­ucts. Read more

„Dear dis­trib­u­tors,

I hope you had a great week­end. We did, and what a week­end it was! Have you ever had some­one put a hot water bot­tle in your bed in a hotel? Not very like­ly — and even if you have, cer­tain­ly not in Africa. One was put in my bed at the Masai Mara Lodge, and all the oth­er mem­bers of the trav­el par­ty had the same expe­ri­ence. If I had seen it, I would of course have said „no thank you“. What man needs a hot water bot­tle in his bed – and cer­tain­ly not in sum­mer! But it’s not sum­mer here and I did­n’t see it, either, because the elec­tric­i­ty is turned off at mid­night sharp – which I did­n’t know. So to bed in the dark, looked for how to get in through the mos­qui­to net and end­ed up on a warm, wob­bling rub­ber bottle.

And I must con­fess — after I’d got over the shock and real­ized that a tor­toise had­n’t crept its way in – I found it very pleas­ant because it’s win­ter here, as I’ve already said! The next morn­ing all the dis­trib­u­tors admit­ted that the same thing had hap­pened to them.
