Gano Excel in Fresno: Mass Momentum in Action!

Something big is going on in Fresno, California: hyper-motivated Latino/a affiliates are building one of the most energized, effective and engaged groups in this whole organization. Last Saturday, this dynamic group -- led by field leader and all-star mentor Alma Z. -- held a massive awards banquet, and we were there to capture it all! Four Flip Video cameras were running to capture a ground's eye view of Gano Excel momentum in action!

So, if you haven't experienced Cafe 2.0 with the rest of the Gano Excel family, now is the time. Momentum is building company-wide as more-and-more millionaires-in-training flood in to leverage the most exciting opportunity in the Direct Selling world!

Thought of the Day: "Integrity is 24/7"

"If you have real, internal value, you don't need a loud, expensive imitation." ~ Denis Waitley

What exactly does Waitley mean by that? I think it's kind of like this: if you could book, say, the real Elvis Presley to play a concert, then why would you book an Elvis impersonator? Isn't the "real thing" always better than an imitation, even if it's the flashiest imitation around?

You all know that we run into this problem all the time in network marketing: all flash and no substance, covering up for something that isn't there.

How many "miracle lead generation systems" or "guaranteed downline builders" have you run across? 

(Quite a few, right?)

Well, Denis Waitley's quote ought to be ringing in your ears every time somebody approaches you about a "sure-fire" way to build your business without, you know, building it (i.e., working hard to get results).

Same goes for opportunities, of course. Why would you ever accept an imitation, when you have access to the real thing, the only original?

Here's the fact of the matter: if you're with Gano Excel, you're with a true original; and if you're not with Gano Excel, we invite you to find out why we attract some of the happiest, most loyal and most honest affiliates in direct sales!

atic speakers we have in our ranks -- held forth on why his group has become so engaged in the promotion. David's charm and enthusiasm shined through, as always! He ended with a special message to all of our Spanish-speaking affiliates.

KABC-TV Los Angeles: Direct Sales Smart Bet For Harsh Economy

So many people have shown so much love to the direct selling industry since the onset of our current economic crisis. Well, all of us in the Direct Selling are now happy to add another name to the list of our industry's proponents: KABC-TV here in Los Angeles recently ran a story on the benefits (and potential worries) for people deciding to get into Direct Sales.

"Direct Sales translates into selling products to customers without having a retail store and large inventories that go with it," says Consumer Specialist Ric Romero. "...the potential for large profits are there," he adds.

The piece is a fair and unbiased analysis of Direct Selling, both its benefits and potential drawbacks. After reviewing the piece carefully, we believe that it could help ease the minds of some who are a little unsure about opportunities like Gano Excel. Remember: being honest and upfront about our industry -- including some of its potential problem areas -- can only make you a stronger advocate for your business!
