Isagenix

Dynamic Duo Jumps on Fast Track to Success

When Herb and Patty of New York set a goal of earning the distinguished recognition of 5-Star Golden Circle within the first 10 months of starting their Isagenix® business, they were not quite sure just what they had committed to. While others thought this was a “lofty” goal, their commitment, perseverance and hard work paid off. Not only did they achieve their goal, but they also became 4-Star Crystal Executives in the process.

Herb and Patty are veteran network marketers with 20 years of experience as top earners in three previous companies. Even with their success, they were frustrated with the structure of the companies and ended up leaving the industry to develop their own professional coaching business.

“Our criterion for working with any company is that they must rank a ‘10’ in five different areas,” explains Patty. “The company, products, compensation plan, training and timing/growth potential.”

They vowed not to be affiliated with any company and focus solely on their coaching business. But all that changed when they heard about Isagenix. Patty did an initial company criteria check and then ordered the products to try them.

“Isagenix met all of the criteria and the products are the finest super foods we had ever tasted,” says Patty. “It was the first time we saw true network marketing with the products impacting people and their health.”

Patty and Herb jumped in and took immediate action in starting their Isagenix business. They called everyone they knew, hosted home presentations and led each one by discussing the business opportunity.
“Too much analysis always causes paralysis,” explains Herb. “We took massive action and learned more about the products and the business in the process.”

Their business model took on a whole new level when they met Isagenix Millionaire Kirk Metz and learned the product approach. Kirk’s model focused on sharing the potential of Isagenix products to change people’s lives.

“We were so focused on the business, but leading with the product opened a whole new avenue for us,” shares Patty. “We now focus on both the product and the business opportunity and let people decide what they are most comfortable with.”

Next, the pair considered attending some Isagenix events. Patty was hesitant at first to attend the 2007 “Changing Lives” Celebration because she didn’t want to break away from the momentum that was growing their business. She finally decided to attend after a bit of coercing from her enroller and 6-Star Golden Circle Bette Laughrun. Bette had invited Patty to several special dinners and events for the top achievers and she was amazed at the number of people she met who were earning six and seven figure incomes who had never done anything like this before.

One activity at Celebration brought them back to where they first began with Isagenix. They were asked to write down a goal they hoped to achieve by the next year’s event. Patty scribbled down “6-Star Golden Circle and millionaire circle” without hesitation.

Their unwavering confidence and hard work is proving its effectiveness yet again. Not only have they continued to build their business in amazing ways, but they were also recognized as “Rising Stars” at the 2008 “Commitment to Greatness” Celebration for their incredible accomplishments in such a short amount of time.

“It’s important to take consistent and persistent action toward attaining a written goal,” says Herb. “And when you reach that goal, always have another one in mind and go get it.”
