30 ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors are get­ting excit­ed as in a few days they will set out on a fas­ci­nat­ing train­ing trip to East Africa.

At the end of May, Hanover artist Ilona Arndt accept­ed the invi­ta­tion of sole share­hold­er and CEO Roland Förster and vis­it­ed ENERGETIX in Bin­gen am Rhein. Both the artist and ENERGETIX had tak­en part in the char­i­ty event „BMW Art Advent Cal­en­dar “ in 2012 – in a joint initiative.

Both the artist and ENERGETIX had tak­en part in the char­i­ty event „BMW Art Advent Cal­en­dar “ in 2012 – in a joint ini­tia­tive. As a result, ENERGETIX had pur­chased a work of art paint­ed by Ilona Arndt. The pro­ceeds went to „Artists for Kids“, a cre­ative youth wel­fare project (as already report­ed in FROGBLOG). So the artist once again met up with ENERGETIX team and of course with her large for­mat paint­ing, now on dis­play in the com­pa­ny’s Bin­gen headquarters.

Mod­el Franziska Knuppe, whom ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors can look for­ward to see­ing at the Cat­a­logue Launch in Berlin, also took part in this char­i­ty ini­tia­tive — as celebri­ty backer.

Übri­gens nahm auch das Mod­el Franziska Knuppe, auf das sich ENERGETIX Ver­trieb­spart­ner beim Kat­a­loglaunch in Berlin freuen dür­fen, als promi­nente Patin an dieser gemein­nützi­gen Char­i­ty-Aktion teil.

Joey Kel­ly con­tin­ues his jour­ney through the media and talks about his lat­est feat, a „hard­core“ fast last­ing over three weeks.

On the 29 May edi­tion of the Markus Lanz Show, Joey Kel­ly described the rea­sons behind his 23-day fast and how he coped with this long absti­nence from food (under med­ical super­vi­sion). He was one of an illus­tri­ous group of guests that includ­ed radio and TV pre­sen­ter Peter Ill­mann and actress Ingrid van Bergen.

You can find more pho­tos of Joey Kel­ly and infor­ma­tion about his par­tic­i­pa­tion in the Mainz Half Marathon as a mem­ber of the ENERGETIX team (dur­ing his peri­od of extreme fast­ing) here on FROGBLOG.

NB: Joey Kel­ly also appeared on the ZDF pro­gramme Fernse­hgarten of 2 June (in con­nec­tion with a triathlon com­pe­ti­tion). He wore sportEX bracelets on both occasions.

They’ve used their motorhome right from the start. This impres­sive vehi­cle has room for four peo­ple, so Ulrike Lem­mel and Hans-Joachim Stolz (who have been work­ing as ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors since Novem­ber 2002) like to take two or three of their new recruits along with them to events, which often last sev­er­al days, accom­mo­dat­ing them in the motorhome. 

Learn­ing by doing
The tak­ings are divid­ed up fair­ly. And the new­com­ers inci­den­tal­ly pick up a lot of prac­ti­cal tips from the cou­ple, who have over ten years‘ expe­ri­ence in sell­ing at fairs and mar­kets. Help­ing oth­ers is the basis of their own suc­cess – they have obtained new busi­ness part­ners and firm par­ty book­ings this way. 

In their opin­ion, ENERGETIX Bin­gen pro­vides a great busi­ness mod­el for inde­pen­dent dis­trib­u­tors and makes things very easy for its dis­trib­u­tors: „Any­one can do it“. And what if things some­times don’t run smooth­ly? Ulrike and Hans-Joachim then ask them­selves, „What can I change in myself to be suc­cess­ful?“ „We too have had to fight our way. We too have highs and not-so-highs,“ declares the suc­cess­ful cou­ple with a wry smile. „Nev­er give up!“ is their tried and test­ed mot­to. „No oth­er com­pa­ny mar­kets its prod­ucts the way ENERGETIX does. The com­pa­ny is so gen­er­ous, it makes things so easy. With ENERGETIX, I’ve real­ly hit the jack­pot,“ says Ulrike.

Con­cen­trat­ing one’s energy
Only if dis­trib­u­tors devote their undi­vid­ed ener­gy to the job can long-term suc­cess be assured. „Of course the stand must look attrac­tive, too!“

Action!
Suc­cess comes, they both agree, if you are active, if the enthu­si­asm is appar­ent and if the dis­trib­u­tors enjoy work­ing with peo­ple. Hav­ing some­thing hap­pen­ing at your stand also always helps. The cou­ple sees this as a real oppor­tu­ni­ty, because with ENERGETIX Bin­gen „you can run the busi­ness the way you want.“

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.
