Joe Rubino
Dr. Joe Rubino has always been a hard worker, but before network marketing he was a completely different person.
"I was introverted, and I worked like I did because it was the only thing I knew. Oxyfresh and 21TEN totally changed my life. Now I live a life of choice. I travel. I work from home. I pursue my passion of writing books and championing people to live their best lives."
This is the type of success that typifies hard-working network marketers, and helping others achieve this success has become one of Joe's key motivational forces. As he sees it, everyone should be able to live a life of freedom.
Joe joined Oxyfresh in 1991 and quickly became a top Oxyfresh Distributor. By the time he was 37, he was able to retire from dentistry. But he didn't make any sacrifices when he left his job: through his work in Oxyfresh, he continued to earn a six-figure income.
Now he wants to duplicate that success with 21TEN, and he's well on his way. Already he's earned a berth aboard the Celebrity Solstice, the Caribbean's most luxurious cruise liner, and he's building a large and successful team.
Joe's decision to join 21TEN was a matter of trust and accountability: "21TEN has the backing of Oxyfresh, which has a 26-year history of great products, great leadership, wonderful people and unparalleled opportunity. Take the excitement of a ground-floor opportunity and couple it with Oxyfresh, and it's the best of both worlds."
His proven techniques for growing a business can help everyone improve.
When he first begins to recruit, he likes to send an email that will "show people the money" and create an opening. Then he'll follow up with another email to get them prequalified, and after that he'll make a phone a call.
"I think 99% of my business is via phone and email. This is the most effective way for me. I can talk to five to 10 people, and by the time I meet with them in person, they are prequalified."
While each Distributor has unique techniques and approaches to building their team, Joe's work ethic is characteristic of successful 21TENers.
"Success is about work ethic and a commitment to personal development. It's consistent daily action and asking yourself 'How can I be more effective in conversations with prospects?' and 'How can I support my team in their prospecting?'"
One of the ways he makes himself more effective is to always carry and use Life Shotz, especially when he's out to lunch or supper with a prospect.
"It's a great way to introduce the opportunity. Sharing Life Shotz naturally fuels the discussion about the income opportunity."
For everyone who's turning to 21TEN and network marketing, Joe has some clear advice about what it takes to succeed.
"Keep an open mind. Do your due diligence to make sure the opportunity is real. Believe in your inevitable success. And commit to doing whatever it takes to make it happen."
It's advice we can all use.
Christine Schwan
It's Phoenix. It's hot. It's a recession. And Christine Schwan had just lost her job.
“I'm a speech pathologist, and I do a lot of work with special-needs clients. I was at the school, and a large group of us were suddenly let go at the same time. We were notified, we packed our boxes, and we were done. It all happened in just one day. I literally lost my income, and everything changed.”
Thankfully we were waiting for her, and now Christine's goal is financial freedom in two years. She's already won a berth aboard the Caribbean's most luxurious cruise, and she has high ambitions.
“I want to do what I want,” she says, “and I want to help people. I want to empower women and children globally. I want to travel. I want to photograph. I want to write. Life Shotz is my vehicle for everything I really want to do and the people I really want to help.”
Like many people, Christine found us because she was searching for changes. She had recently battled skin cancer, and the treatment had weakened her immune system. She was getting sick every three or four weeks. She was having a hard time keeping her energy up, especially after the yoga classes she taught. She was spending more than $250 a month on supplements.
She turned to the Internet for solutions, and she happened across an online newsletter that had been published by another 21TEN Distributor.
That Distributor described Life Shotz.
“I went to the website and started reading the ingredients — the vitamin D, the vitamin B complex, the antioxidants — and it was everything I needed. It was even the right kind of B12, which is hard to find but much better for your body. I signed up right there.”
The changes were almost instant, says Christine, beginning with the energy boost.
“Within the first hour, it was like a fog lifted. I had energy. It's a completely different experience. I can hike, do yoga, and work out. I haven't been sick since I started. Plus I'm saving money.”
Drawn to us because of our excellent product and our complete transparency and integrity, Christine became a Distributor. She believes the company has an important message — green production coupled with healthy living — that is unparalleled in the industry. And in an unregulated industry, that's hard to find.
“There's no FDA certification for the supplement industry, but I've got 30 years of fitness and nutrition background. I can always tell when a company has integrity. 21TEN has it. Nobody does transparency like 21TEN, and I see it in every conversation I have with the company.”
As she began her career as a Distributor, Christine turned to several key tools to help her achieve success:
- Sampling. By introducing people to Life Shotz with two or three free samples, they are able to experience the positive changes for themselves.
- Sharing the online videos. Christine can send links to videos via Facebook and email, and she knows that videos of 21TEN's product experts and the company's detailed overview of Life Shotz resonate with people.
- Using email marketing templates. These professionally designed emails share the Life Shotz message effectively and quickly.
Although the tools have been indispensible, Christine credits her team with much of her success.
“My whole team keeps me going. It would be impossible without them, and they're just great people. We all believe in making people healthier and wealthier as we improve the environment. We're like minded, and we're all heart-centered,” she says. “But that's the company. It's amazing.”
Sarah Cion
Sarah Cion earned fame and renown as an international jazz pianist and composer. She played with big jazz names like Clark Terry, Al Gray, and Etta Jones. She attended prestigious music schools and won multiple competitions. She toured Europe, the Middle East, and Japan. As a premier musician, she was a headliner and had already released a series of successful albums.
But her life as a jet-setting artist conflicted with her life as a mother, and she didn't want to sacrifice her family for her career. It was time for a change.
“I had to reinvent myself,” she says.
Sarah approached 21TEN with a positive, can-do attitude, and as she sees it, her success with 21TEN is more than skills. It's about the network.
She started with friends and family, but like all new network marketers, she learned that's a small pool to draw from.
“I ran out of friends pretty darn quick,” she jokes.
Sarah then turned to her online acquaintances and friends through social media outlets like Facebook, and she began to reach out to people who aren't in her daily life but whom she sees frequently. Her dentist, for example, and her accountant.
“I was able to go to my community. That's not necessarily a skill, but my online presence has really helped.”
Sarah quickly became a 21TEN success story. Inside of two weeks she won one of 40 berths aboard a luxury cruise ship that will sail the Caribbean in November, and her network of professionals and distributors is growing rapidly.
According to Sarah, the most important advice is to create your own 21TEN story.
“Take the product, live it, and experience it for yourself,” she says. “I talk about the 21Ten opportunity every day. I simply cannot help it. Life Shotz has become a part of me. I am truly a product of the product.”
Sarah also takes advantage of the wealth of tools available to Distributors:
- Carrying the water bottle with her everywhere
- Ordering and sharing personal business cards
- Distributing breakout journals
- Sharing her favorite website pages and testimonials
- Printing the Life Shotz drink recipes for new contacts
But most notably she uses product samples: “They're the most important things I have used to grow my business.”
And growing her business is key. Like many 21TENers, Sarah wanted a new career and new opportunities, and she kept her eyes and ears open for a calling that would give her the freedom she wanted. She had built an extensive personal network, and she suspected the next big break would come from this network.
That break came while she was talking with Dr. Joe Rubino about a blurb for a book. He ran through the 21TEN model and the Life Shotz product, and she was instantly hooked.
She had looked into other network marketing opportunities before, but she couldn't stand behind the products or the companies. 21TEN was different. After attending the product launch in Las Vegas, she knew she had found a company for life.
“I went in with no expectations and came back a changed person,” says Sarah. “It was just so much more than the product. It was about integrity and adding value to peoples' lives.”
