Lisa Shelby’s introduction to and interest in Qivana were purely product based. “I was planning a vacation to Hawaii and I thought it would be nice to lose a few pounds, so my friend, Donna Terry, introduced me to the METABOLIQ Shakes,” Lisa says. She purchased the QORE and METABOLIQ Systems, used all of the products for a few weeks, and lost eight pounds before jumping on the plane to Hawaii. While she was on vacation, she used the QORE Probiotics and PRIME and was pleasantly surprised when she didn’t need to take her medication for acid reflux anymore. “It was exciting to see how quickly the products could positively affect my health,” she says.

Lisa’s natural talent and ability to share and talk openly with others quickly landed her a Qivana business before she knew it. “It was all by default,” she laughs. “I started telling my friends about the products and they began purchasing and signing up! In turn, they have told their friends and family, and I started getting phone call after phone call.” In fact, instead of calling others, Lisa spends most of her time right now receiving phone calls from people, telling them about the products, and then signing them up. “I have yet to make a cold call,” says Lisa, who reached Gold in April and Platinum the first week of May.

“I guess I’ve been surprised about people’s response to the products and how fast my business is growing, but it all just seems natural,” she says. “I feel very comfortable and confident about sharing Qivana with others because I love the products so much.” Lisa credits her success to the fact that she is honest and sincere about her passion for the products. “I don’t have an ulterior motive because at the end of the day, it’s not about the money, it’s about the product helping others to improve their health and feel better. People know me and respect my opinion so they know they can take my word when I tell them, ‘Try this product for 60 days—trust me, you’re going to love it!’”

Lisa has also found that success in this business is a result of working as a team. She and several other women in Tuscaloosa are working together to host group meetings, one-one-one meetings, and three-way phone calls. “We all have different strengths and serve different roles in this business, but as a team, we work really well together,” she says. “Now that our team is growing, our focus is on learning and utilizing Qivana’s Simple Seven and OATS Training to help those who really want to grow their business.”

For Lisa, the introduction of Qivana is perfect timing. “Life isn’t about just looking good anymore—it’s about real health. My parents are getting older and I see some of our friends and family members faced with health challenges. It’s exciting to know that with Qivana’s products, they can experience improved health for a lifetime,” she says. Sharing those health benefits with her friends and family is at the top of Lisa’s list of goals. “There’s nothing better than getting a phone call from a friend, telling me that they have lost weight or a health condition has improved and that they feel great. I love the products, so helping others experience real health results is simply amazing!”

Just one conversation with Joe Chenoweth is all it takes for anyone to appreciate his genuine enthusiasm for life; you might even say that this is why he is experiencing so much growth and success with Qivana. You see, when Joe commits to do something, he gives his all.

Joe began actively working his business two months ago after he experienced great results using the METABOLIQ products. “I lost eight pounds in the first two weeks and I felt wonderful,” he shares. What really caught Joe’s attention though was that when he used the METABOLIQ Shake and Boost, he no longer felt the need for his morning coffee. “This amazed me because I used to drink five cups a day and you wouldn’t want to go near me in the morning before I drank my coffee.” Joe describes himself as a social coffee drinker now—a fact that he finds extremely liberating. “I’ve been able to express my enthusiasm for the products in both my words and my actions. When people can sense that your excitement about a product is genuine, then they take interest; that’s how I’ve kept my enrollment numbers high.”

Helping others to reach their health and fitness goals are a fundamental part of Joe’s daily life. Apart from his Qivana business, Joe is the owner of two Curves gyms, and he just started a 7,000 square foot organic garden. For Joe, integrating his Qivana business with his existing business at the gyms was the perfect platform. “Out of 1,000 members, there are 999 who want to lose weight. It feels great to offer them products that will really make a difference in their weight and in their overall health.” Joe, who describes himself as being focused on natural and organic products, displays the METABOLIQ products on a shelf at his gyms with pride and confidence. “These products are innovative and effective,” he says.

Success for Joe is also a result of working diligently with both his upline and downline team members. “I call four upline leaders every week to learn from their accomplishments and to get their advice on how to increase my business. I’m brand new at working this business, so everything I’ve been taught from them is like a gold nugget.” Two nuggets that Joe has learned from his upline leaders are the importance of learning your presentation, and utilizing the Qivana Simple Seven Training. “Even if you’re a brand new IBO, you have to learn to do your presentation and not rely on others. A Qivana leader told me, you own your business when you know your presentation,” he says.

Joe encourages all of his IBOs to work closely with their upline leaders to emulate their success and to repeat their successful actions as a team. “As a leader, I’m focused on helping my team to build their businesses and enroll people. I can see the value in spending time and energy to help them be successful,” he says. “My team knows that at the end of the day, I’m not just trying to make a buck, I’m trying to help them make a buck. Working together and helping each other is what keeps the momentum going.”

Although Joe’s schedule is more busy now with Qivana meetings and trainings, his focus remains genuine and enthusiastic—he’s all about helping others to reach their goals of increased health and longevity. “The thing I enjoy the most is when somebody starts taking the METABOLIQ Shake and after only one week, they’re elated that they’re losing weight, feeling wonderful, and their energy levels are so great. Literally everyone likes the products and the products are effective on everyone. Normally, this isn’t that common, but it happens 100 percent of the time with Qivana.” He adds, “If I can be a tool to help others enjoy a healthier lifestyle and on the way, build a successful business with Qivana, then that just makes me happy.”

Determined, focused, and committed are just a few words that describe Cindy Waller. Cindy recently has been recognized and celebrated as Qivana’s newest Executive Diamond and has qualified for Dream Week 2012—a Mediterranean Cruise to Italy, Greece, and Croatia. “At Convention, I set a goal in my own heart that I was going to be Diamond by the time I went to Regionals. I was determined to do whatever it took to accomplish this goal, and I made it!” she exclaims. “But I didn’t do it by myself—it was a team effort.” Cindy is thrilled that many of her team members will be traveling to Dream Week alongside her.

Cindy’s introduction to Qivana was great timing because she was retired. Her sponsor, Marshall Douglas, told her about the METABOLIQ Shake and the tremendous income potential with the business opportunity. She had worked as an accountant for 19 years and her previous experience in the networking industry had been positive, so Cindy listened. “I believe that networking is the way to build wealth beyond your time and effort,” she says.  Cindy was particularly interested in trying the METABOLIQ Shakes. “I had been drinking a protein shake every day for 20 years to level my blood sugar levels, but the taste was horrible. I knew that if this product had more protein, tasted good, and would burn stored body fat, it would be the perfect product for so many people!”

She wasted no time starting her business and made up her mind to share Qivana with as many people as she could, as fast as she could. It didn’t take long for Cindy to develop a large, thriving team—a team that she describes as, “An awesome group of selfless, loving, giving people that truly look to help others. They’re very committed to the business and to each other.” She credits her success to her team and in particular to her sponsor, Marshall Douglas. “He gives me excellent guidelines and teaches me how to grow and structure my business. I would call him every week and get his advice and opinions before I did anything new, and I still call him. He’s a wonderful teacher,” she says. Cindy’s desire to listen and learn from her upline has helped her to achieve tremendous growth and success; it’s a pattern she encourages all her new IBOs to follow. “Stay plugged in to your upline so you can learn from them. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Learn from their successes and mistakes so that you can grow your business faster.”

Cindy knows that a strong team is a committed one, and by that standard, she leads by example. When she travels to host and attend meetings, Cindy’s goal is to make each new IBO a Silver before she leaves town the next day. “This is how I’ve been taught, and this is what my team is teaching, so helping new IBOs quickly reach Silver is just the norm for us. This has been duplicated downline, so our team is just exploding!” she says. “I take my role in this business seriously. When I bring somebody into the business, it’s my responsibility to take them to Silver.”

Her unshaken commitment to her business has been both a blessing and a challenge. “I’ve blown off some personal vacations because I knew that taking a week off wasn’t acceptable because there were people counting on me. These choices have become blessings because I have learned that I have what it takes—I can make a decision to commit and follow through with it.” She continues, “When I’m done with my commitments to people, they will be able to stand on their own. There will be plenty of time to play, but I will keep my commitments to my team.” Cindy’s passion for helping her team succeed is matched by her passion for her hobby—scuba diving. “I have always wanted to travel the world to beautiful scuba diving sites and I know that with my Qivana business, this dream will become a reality for me!”

When it comes to teaching her team members how to build their businesses, Cindy tells them to focus 80 percent of their efforts on talking to people about the business. “If you’re not talking about the business, you’re not building your business,” she says. “People don’t need to know how every product works, just tell them how it works for you. Your excitement about the products and business will be what sponsors the next person.” Cindy and her team have embraced Qivana’s Simple 7 approach and the new Oats program. “These programs are a tremendous asset to our team because we’re all teaching and applying the same concepts so it creates a unified and powerful team,” she says.

Cindy’s clear vision of her future with Qivana has helped her to reach her goals and set new ones in place. So what’s next? “Absolutely Presidential!” she exclaims. And she is determined to help as many of her team members, who have become more like family, to reach their goals, too. “Spending quality time with quality people is one of the greatest blessings of Qivana,” she shares. “When you’re helping people to improve their health and become more financially stable, there’s a connection that’s much deeper and personal. In our normal, everyday lives, we don’t get to know people on that level very often. That’s what’s so special to me about Qivana—these people have become my friends for life.”
