<strong>Founders</strong> <strong>Message</strong><br />

Greg Fullerton: Committed to <strong>Max</strong>!<br />

I keep a little book where I write<br />

down the date of meetings I attend,<br />

where I visited, the number of people<br />

in attendance and the ideas we talked<br />

about. I have a record of every time<br />

I’ve spoken. I remember doing the<br />

first <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> meeting in<br />

Toronto in January 2007. There were<br />

35 people there and we had the most<br />

exciting and fun time.<br />

When I was getting ready to go to<br />

Toronto on the 2008 “Your Business<br />

At Home” tour, I found that I would<br />

be in that city exactly one year to the<br />

day of my first visit. And this time,<br />

there were about 300 people at that<br />

meeting.<br />

I experienced a warm and wonderful feeling at that Toronto meeting that<br />

made me want to figure out exactly why it was there. I thought of the<br />

great depth of leadership at <strong>Max</strong> and our incredible product, <strong>Max</strong>GXL.<br />

Those are great features any company would love to have. But there were<br />

three other things that really jumped out at me.<br />

First, there was a real feeling of camaraderie and belonging. I sensed there<br />

was a real connectedness among our Associates who knew they were part<br />

of something bigger than themselves. They knew that <strong>Max</strong> has come to<br />

mean they have a world-wide impact. They can live a better life, they can<br />

take better care of themselves and that we all can make a difference.


<strong>Founders</strong> <strong>Message</strong><br />

page 2<br />

Second, there is a definite commitment to that connectedness. We are committed to each<br />

other, committed to <strong>Max</strong> and the success of our company. People are committed to service,<br />

to sharing their gifts with others. I was so impressed at how people would say, “Finally! I<br />

have found a place where I can stay for the rest of my life!” Now that’s commitment!<br />

And finally, I saw something that was breathtaking to<br />

me when I met with Toronto leaders in three sets of<br />

dinner meetings that started at 6 and ended at 10:30<br />

p.m. As these leaders introduced themselves, there was<br />

no chest pounding—these people had true humility.<br />

Everyone I met knew they had a unique contribution<br />

to make to the success of this company, but no one<br />

believed they were the reason for the success.<br />

When I meet quality people like this, it just uplifts<br />

me. I come away a better person. I have such an<br />

appreciation for people who are passionate about <strong>Max</strong><br />

<strong>International</strong> and passionate about <strong>Max</strong>GXL. I just love<br />

being around them!<br />

I feel that energy and excitement just as much as when<br />

it’s with three people in Northern California when we<br />

first started or at Toronto with 300 people. I love to<br />

listen to testimonials. One lady told me she had given<br />

<strong>Max</strong>GXL to her dog. That little dog had fleas and mange<br />

and had just been neutered. There was a whole litany<br />

of problems but <strong>Max</strong>GXL helped her dog. I asked her,<br />

“What’s your dog’s name? Lucky!?”<br />

In Dallas about a year ago, we were in a room with<br />

25 people, while down the hall another MLM company<br />

was meeting in a room that seated 150. Ken Dunn said<br />

to me, “Someday we’ll have those kinds of numbers.”<br />

And we do! I was recently in Rochester, NY, with 200<br />

people!<br />

I just enjoy being around <strong>Max</strong> people. I love all the<br />

hugs, all the love. I care about our Associates. I want<br />

you to be happy, to have everything you dream about.<br />

I cheer your every achievement. I love the<br />

energy and the excitement you all give to me!<br />

Greg Fullerton,<br />

If you have ideas or suggestions of how we can offer better support<br />

to help you reach even higher levels of success, we would love to<br />

have your feedback. Please contact our Sales Director, Bob Kaelin<br />

either by letter to our corporate office or by email: bob@maxgxl.com.<br />

We look forward to hearing from you and implementing your ideas!

Ken Dunn Achieves <strong>Max</strong> Triple<br />

Diamond<br />

The Key to Triple Diamond?<br />

Relationships!<br />

Ken Dunn traveled an incredible 240,000<br />

miles on business last year. And everywhere<br />

he went, he found time to reach out to friends<br />

and acquaintances. In<br />

just the last month, a<br />

woman Ken had been<br />

friends with for the<br />

past three and a half<br />

years, was ready for<br />

the <strong>Max</strong> Opportunity<br />

and jumped at the<br />

chance to sign on as a<br />

<strong>Max</strong> Associate.<br />

“It’s all about building<br />

relationships and building friendships,” Ken<br />

reported at a recent Fly-In. And above all,<br />

he says, you have to really care about the<br />

person. They can’t just be a prospect to<br />

you. “That’s the most important thing,” Ken<br />

emphasized.<br />

Ken is grateful for what industry trainer<br />

Michael Clouse taught him.<br />

“Michael says that every prospect must<br />

know three things about you:<br />

1. They know you<br />

2. They trust you<br />

3. They like you<br />

It’s up to you to align these relationships<br />

with the right time to introduce the product<br />

and the opportunity,” Ken said.<br />

relationships.”<br />

“<strong>Max</strong> Founder Steve<br />

Scott may not<br />

consciously realize<br />

it, but his whole life<br />

has been focused<br />

around relationships,”<br />

Ken observed. “He<br />

is properly aligned<br />

as an entrepreneur<br />

for success in<br />

network marketing<br />

because of his gift for


ecruiting•training<br />

page 4<br />

Ken’s wife saw the incredible fit of Ken’s<br />

personality and network marketing when he<br />

began in the business four and a half years<br />

ago. She wisely remarked, “It took you 15<br />

years to figure out how to do what you<br />

should have been doing your whole life!”<br />

Ken believes that people like to hear a<br />

rags-to-riches story. “I had to go to work<br />

to support myself at the age of 16. I had<br />

to make changes. And no one is different<br />

than me. I am telling that story as much as<br />

possible to as many ears as are open. We<br />

empower through words!” he said.<br />

The people Ken works<br />

with have confidence<br />

in him. Whatever he<br />

says, he will do. And<br />

that includes putting<br />

in 20 hour days.<br />

“I’ve been successful<br />

because I’ve found<br />

really quality people<br />

and I offer support to<br />

them. I am there for<br />

them.”<br />

Ken loves the words of Ghandi. “He said that<br />

you should be the catalyst for the change<br />

you want to see in the world. You should<br />

see the change in yourself.”<br />

Too often we use someone else’s “perfect”<br />

script in a telephone call, Ken relates. “Then<br />

we hang up and think, I should have said<br />

this, and we think of several things we would<br />

have liked to say. Those are the golden<br />

nuggets you should have used!”<br />

Ken wants all Associates to step up to what is<br />

possible for them. “<strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> offers<br />

personal development<br />

as well as a powerful<br />

product,” Ken says.<br />

“Sing that song!” he<br />

challenges.

Bill L. Andersen Achieves <strong>Max</strong><br />

Triple Diamond<br />

For all the new Associates who<br />

are standing at the starting line<br />

of a career in network marketing,<br />

Master Associate Bill L. Andersen<br />

has some advice to share.<br />

“It all begins in your mind. It’s about dreams<br />

and passion and the<br />

mental commitment<br />

to self,” he stated.<br />

Bill’s commitment<br />

to <strong>Max</strong> and <strong>Max</strong>GXL<br />

has vaulted him to<br />

the rank of Triple<br />

Diamond in addition<br />

to being a Master<br />

Associate.<br />

“You have to drop all the masks, the lies<br />

and perceptions you may have had about<br />

network marketing,” Bill said. “Get to the<br />

truth of self belief and what you can offer to<br />

the Associates you work with.” Bill believes<br />

that most people are trying so hard to be<br />

right that they don’t listen long enough<br />

to connect with those they talk to. They<br />

assume that if they are right, you must be<br />

wrong, and you have to come to their way<br />

of thinking. That leads to manipulation and<br />

overselling, Bill says.<br />

Instead, Bill suggests Associates talk about<br />

how exciting <strong>Max</strong>GXL is and the integrity<br />

found in the leadership of <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong>.<br />

“It’s not just one man of integrity—it’s an<br />

entire organization committed to integrity<br />

and truth! And I am all about integrity and<br />

truth,” Bill said.<br />

“Someone more influential than myself<br />

once said, ‘the truth will set you free,’ ” Bill<br />

observed. “Part of that truth is that this is<br />

a tough business.<br />

Part of the truth is<br />

that we all make<br />

mistakes and bad<br />

choices from time<br />

to time. Part of that<br />

truth is that you may<br />

want to quit 20 times<br />

in the first month.<br />

“Don’t live in fear! Too many people are<br />

captivated by corporations that pay just<br />

enough money so you won’t quit. Part of


ecruiting•training<br />

page 6<br />

the truth is that we are all awesome human<br />

beings and have a greatness we bring<br />

together.”<br />

“Remember, it all starts in your mind. Do<br />

you value the dream?<br />

Do you value freedom?<br />

At what price do you<br />

value dreams and<br />

freedoms? Enough to<br />

put in the hours? To<br />

talk to people?” Bill<br />

asked.<br />

Success comes after we<br />

pay a price. “I wasn’t<br />

good at baseball at<br />

first,” Bill said. “I didn’t<br />

get awards until long<br />

after the commitment<br />

not to quit—not when<br />

I got hit by a baseball<br />

or when others told me<br />

I wasn’t good enough.<br />

All of us have had a<br />

little baseball moment.<br />

The world tells us<br />

we’re not enough. I<br />

am enough. I know<br />

I am!” he said.<br />

Whenever someone<br />

tries to say you aren’t<br />

good enough, Bill says<br />

to tell them to go sell<br />

their lies to someone else!<br />

“I have a personal goal to talk to five people<br />

every day about <strong>Max</strong>. I tell them what an<br />

amazing product and company we have and<br />

invite them to look at it. I send product to<br />

them to try. Then I teach others how to do<br />

the same,” Bill explained.<br />

He says to develop<br />

the commitment<br />

to strategy and<br />

teamwork. “How can<br />

you become great?” Bill<br />

asks. “Be consistent,<br />

be committed, honor<br />

yourself and others<br />

and be in action daily.”<br />

Actions, according to<br />

Bill, are sharing the<br />

<strong>Max</strong> Opportunity and<br />

teaching others how to<br />

do the same.<br />

When Bill Andersen<br />

first heard of <strong>Max</strong><br />

<strong>International</strong>, he was<br />

drawn to the truth<br />

he saw in this new<br />

company. “Great<br />

talent has a significant<br />

responsibility to go<br />

beyond self and<br />

limitations, to reach<br />

higher. <strong>Max</strong> is doing<br />

that and has challenged<br />

me to become a<br />

better person. Even if<br />

there was no money<br />

exchanged in this business, I’d do it for that<br />

alone,” Bill said. “We are becoming greater<br />

together.”

The Role of Glutathione in<br />

Energy Production<br />

You’ve been told that glutathione increases<br />

energy on a cellular level. How does it do<br />

this? Since glutathione is not the actual<br />

fuel for the “engines” or “energy factories”<br />

of our cells, what part does it play in the<br />

creation of cellular energy?<br />

These are questions we would all like answers<br />

to, but not if they make us feel like we’re<br />

back in Chemistry 101!<br />

Hopefully, what you read<br />

below will provide a nontechnical<br />

explanation for<br />

these questions.<br />

The Tiger in Your Tank Is<br />

Called ATP<br />

It’s obvious that all cells<br />

must produce energy to<br />

survive. We know that the<br />

“gasoline” or “electricity”<br />

that powers our cells is<br />

called ATP (adenosine<br />

triphosphate). If your car<br />

runs out of gas, it can<br />

sit for a while until you<br />

replenish the supply. Not so<br />

with our cellular fuel. Our<br />

cells simply cannot survive<br />

unless they have a continual, sufficient supply<br />

of “cellular gasoline” or ATP. So the process of<br />

creating fuel in each and every cell must go<br />

on constantly.<br />

A single cell may have a couple of hundred<br />

energy factories or cellular power plants called<br />

mitochondria or it may contain thousands of<br />

them. Your hard-working heart cells have been<br />

estimated to have 5,000 mitochondria each 1 !<br />

The complex process of turning nutrients into<br />

ATP in the mitochondria depends on many<br />

oxidation and reduction reactions.<br />

Redox is the shorthand term for the chemical<br />

reaction where atoms are changed by<br />

either losing elections (oxidation) or gaining<br />

electrons (reduction).<br />

The Process<br />

Understanding the exact<br />

process of ATP creation<br />

didn’t happen until 1937.<br />

Hans A. Krebs finally<br />

figured out a metabolic<br />

pathway in the cells that<br />

explained how energy is<br />

created. There were many<br />

scientists who played a<br />

key role in understanding<br />

how this pathway worked,<br />

but because Krebs had the<br />

insight that the pathway<br />

was a cycle, the process<br />

was named for him and<br />

is usually called the Krebs<br />

cycle.<br />

You will also read of it as<br />

the “citric acid cycle” or the tricarboxylic<br />

acid cycle (TCA) or occasionally, the Szent-<br />

Györgyi-Krebs cycle (adding the name of<br />

the scientist who mapped out many of the<br />

molecules and the sequence of reactions of<br />

the Krebs cycle).<br />

We are including a diagram of the eight major<br />

steps in the energy cycle. Since we are not<br />

doing Chemistry 101, describing this process


product information<br />

page 11<br />

could be as simple as saying it’s a metabolic<br />

dance of electrons being transported and<br />

transferred, through complex processes of<br />

reduction and oxidation. Remember that<br />

transferring (or grabbing!) electrons is also<br />

what starts the cycle of free radical damage.<br />

The Role of Glutathione<br />

Oxidation is like a flame, wonderful when<br />

harnessed, dangerous when out of control.<br />

When we are young, the oxidation necessary<br />

for energy production is highly efficient<br />

with only a small amount of oxygen not<br />

utilized. Even this minor oxygen loss (1-3%)<br />

unfortunately results in the production of free<br />

radicals. And this is where glutathione comes<br />

in to neutralize those free radicals.<br />

A one-to-three percent<br />

oxygen loss causing<br />

free-radical production<br />

doesn’t sound too bad,<br />

does it? But say you are<br />

no longer 20 years of age<br />

and correspondingly, your<br />

cellular mitochondria are<br />

not as efficient as they<br />

once were. More and<br />

more free radicals are<br />

generated in the oxidative<br />

energy process and they<br />

are, in turn, damaging<br />

the mitochondria themselves.<br />

The powerful antioxidant, glutathione,<br />

quenches a number of free radicals, including<br />

the highly dangerous hydroxyl radical by<br />

donating an electron. Glutathione itself does<br />

not become a free radical even though it has<br />

given up an electron.<br />

No wonder it is called the Master Antioxidant!<br />

Now that it is quenched, the extremely<br />

harmful hydroxyl radical is halted from its real<br />

dirty work: generating other free radicals like<br />

peroxynitrite and the radicals of oxidized fats<br />

(lipids).<br />

Glutathione has just halted a literal cascade<br />

of free radicals by quenching the hydroxyl<br />

free radical. But you need to know just<br />

what a favor glutathione has done for you in<br />

preventing peroxynitrite production.<br />

Peroxynitrite is truly pernicious!<br />

Martin L. Pall, PhD, professor of Biochemistry<br />

and Basic Medical Science at Washington<br />

State University stated: “Peroxynitrite reacts<br />

with and inactivates several of the enzymes<br />

in mitochondria so that mitochondrial and<br />

energy metabolism dysfunction is one of<br />

the most important<br />

consequences of elevated<br />

peroxynitrite.” 2<br />

Translation: When<br />

the mitochondria have<br />

suffered enough free<br />

radical damage as to<br />

become dysfunctional,<br />

energy production is<br />

impaired. Your cells do not<br />

get the amount of energy<br />

they need to function<br />

properly. Your cells may<br />

function at a level below<br />

the optimum although you probably won’t<br />

feel it.<br />

There is yet one more free-radical mitochondrial<br />

consequence as a result of low glutathione<br />

levels that you “will” be aware of. Richard<br />

Van Konynenburg, PhD, wrote: “The resulting<br />

partial blockades in the Krebs cycles and the<br />

respiratory chains in the red, slow-twitch<br />

skeletal muscle cells decrease their rate of<br />

production of ATP. Since ATP is what powers<br />

muscle contractions, the lack of it produces


product information<br />

page 12<br />

physical fatigue. It becomes chronic because<br />

GSH [glutathione] remains depleted.” 3<br />

You might think of free radicals as a band of<br />

marauders circling an oil tanker, preparing<br />

to hijack the precious commodity that fuels<br />

cars and trains and pretty much the entire<br />

Western world. Glutathione molecules could<br />

be considered a group of highly efficient<br />

bodyguards—handing out electrons and<br />

turning vicious marauders<br />

into mild-mannered<br />

bystanders.<br />

Glutathione Praise<br />

from Dr. Keller<br />

As you understand this<br />

intricate energy creation<br />

process, perhaps you<br />

will appreciate more a<br />

statement by the creator<br />

of <strong>Max</strong>GXL, Dr. Robert H.<br />

Keller. Dr. Keller said that<br />

glutathione is “critical to<br />

cell functions such as the<br />

TCA (Kreb) cycle and then<br />

the respiratory chain that<br />

uses 4 molecules of ATP<br />

to generate 32 molecules<br />

of ATP.”<br />

Is it vital for you to<br />

have those glutathione<br />

bodyguards on energy<br />

duty? Van Konynenburg<br />

certainly thinks so as he<br />

wrote, “GSH [glutathione]<br />

plays very important roles in maintaining<br />

mitochondrial function and integrity.” 4<br />

Perhaps it’s enough to remember that<br />

glutathione is there to assure that the<br />

creation of cellular energy is not hampered<br />

by free radical damage. While this is not by<br />

any means the only role glutathione plays<br />

in keeping your body running smoothly, it<br />

is a vitally important role. Now you have<br />

one more reason to appreciate Dr. Keller’s<br />

marvelous, patented product!<br />

product testimonials<br />

I suffered from daily discomfort in what I refer to others as my<br />

“chicken bone,” you know, the shoulder blade. I like to describe<br />

it as the housewife’s discomfort from the continuous day to day<br />

chores of laundry, making beds, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming,<br />

laundry, cooking. It was VERY severe. I used to beg my husband<br />

to rub my shoulder area. Then once he started, I would beg him<br />

to stop because it still hurt.<br />

After a week of taking <strong>Max</strong>GXL, I noticed the discomfort was<br />

gone—like it never existed. To top it off, I NEVER get sore any<br />

more after my workouts. Even on the days I work out extra hard I<br />

think to myself, “man, I am going to be hurting so bad tomorrow.”<br />

But much to my surprise.....NOTHING! I love <strong>Max</strong>GXL! Not only for what it has done to my<br />

body, but for what I know it is doing to protect my body in the future!<br />

And I got an added benefit: I sleep so great now. I wake up feeling so crisp and energetic.<br />

Thanks, Dr. Keller!!!<br />

MAX GXL helps retired police officer recover from back discomfort<br />

due to injuries suffered during vehicle accident while on-duty.<br />

On July 1, 2002, I was struck by a vehicle which caused me to<br />

receive injuries that later forced me to retire from my job as a<br />

police officer. During this accident, the muscles in my upper back<br />

were torn from my spine leaving me with injuries too severe to<br />

continue on in police work. For more than five years after the<br />

accident I lived with the daily discomfort and stiffness that this<br />

injury left me with, and frankly I had just learned to live with<br />

it. Then a friend introduced me to MAX GXL and my back has<br />

been free from the discomfort ever since that day I took my first<br />

capsules. Too good to be true you say? I’m free of that now,<br />

and with the added benefit of more energy, I feel better than I<br />

have in twenty years. I truly am living to the MAX!<br />

<strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> is proud to announce the<br />

Top Associates Recruiters for the past month:<br />

Roger Doucet is no stranger to network marketing. Almost<br />

all of his recruits at <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> have been the result of<br />

referrals from his many contacts over the years. He has joined<br />

over 200 network marketing companies in his 22 years in the<br />

industry, and sold breakthrough health products from over 300<br />

non-MLM companies. Roger said he doesn’t look into working<br />

a network marketing company unless he is first impressed with<br />

the product.<br />

In 1988 he started manning booths at health shows displaying whatever products he was<br />

working with at the time. His network of contacts that he draws on for <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />

has mostly come as a result of these shows.<br />

Roger says he is in the process of weaning himself off all the other companies to focus<br />

exclusively on <strong>Max</strong>. <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> has everything he has been looking for in a network<br />

marketing company. It is a company unlike any he has seen in terms of the product,<br />

marketing plan, ownership and management. Roger said when he met with the owners and<br />

executive team from <strong>Max</strong> he couldn’t have been more impressed.<br />

“Some were tearing up when they described their passion for the company and its future.<br />

They were so genuine,” Roger said. “It wasn’t about greed or selfishness. They were<br />

sincerely concerned with helping people. That really impressed me.”<br />

Gene Stanford is in business with his wife, Emily, and brother,<br />

Ryan. Coming from a business and network marketing background<br />

has helped in their success in terms of gaining marketing skills and<br />

learning how to work with people. Gene said it has taught him<br />

how to communicate and get in touch with different personality<br />

styles, instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Gene’s team<br />

has drawn on a wide variety of sources in recruiting people who are<br />

open to what <strong>Max</strong> has to offer. In addition to looking up friends from<br />

past businesses, who are looking for exciting new opportunities, he<br />

targets people in all walks of life who are open to change. He said in a challenging economy<br />

with soaring gas prices people are looking for ways to supplement their day jobs and <strong>Max</strong><br />

provides an excellent opportunity.<br />

Gene’s team also goes off the beaten path to find opportunities that could have major<br />

returns in the future. He’s working with members of a professional sports franchise. Gene<br />

said it could result in anything from helping a few people, to becoming the daily supplement<br />

of the entire franchise, to possibly opening other doors down the road. You can’t tell what is<br />

behind the next bend but by branching out into many areas, the possibilities are limitless.<br />

Gloria Alvino is a healthcare professional who has for years been<br />

searching for effective holistic approaches to healthcare. She has also<br />

been challenged by chronic illness and was therefore very receptive to<br />

the positive effects of <strong>Max</strong>GXL. After just a week on the product she<br />

stopped using the cane she’d been using off and on for six months.<br />

Gloria said she has been looking for ways to build bridges between<br />

traditional and alternate modalities of healthcare, and between science<br />

and spirituality. She describes <strong>Max</strong>GXL as the missing link in that bridge.<br />

Her success in marketing <strong>Max</strong>GXL is a natural extension of her passion for the product<br />

and her faith in the company. “<strong>Max</strong>GXL empowers the body by giving it what it needs to<br />

function in its own miraculous way,” she said.<br />

Gloria also very much believes in <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> as a company. She said she has met<br />

with many of the leaders of the company and their intelligent approach to the business,<br />

combined with their integrity, passion and professionalism, really resonate with her as a<br />

person and a professional.<br />

Gloria said <strong>Max</strong> has put a compensation plan together that rewards the Associate just<br />

starting in the business. It finds ways to give back to the people who work hard regardless<br />

of where they are within the company.<br />

Travis Harris said that being excited about <strong>Max</strong>GXL is his biggest<br />

selling tool. He approaches people from every walk of life from friends<br />

and family to someone he meets at the store who may be complaining<br />

about various health issues. Any opening he finds to share the product<br />

he jumps on because he is so sold on it after seeing it transform the lives<br />

of so many people he has introduced it to.<br />

“A lot of people are seizing on what the product can do and jump on<br />

board,” he said.<br />

Travis generally gives people the seven-day IntroPack along with Dr. Keller’s CD. After they<br />

get some exposure to the product and company he will show them the <strong>Max</strong> edition of “Your<br />

Business at Home” magazine for more information and background. This approach has<br />

worked very well for him.<br />

Travis is very active in sports and has found that <strong>Max</strong>GXL has given him added energy<br />

during and reduced recovery time after games. Some of the people he has introduced to<br />

the product have been very healthy, like himself, while others were dealing with serious<br />

health issues. Without fail they have reported incredible results after a short time on the<br />

product, which only fuels his passion and desire to share it with others.<br />

Maria Dees and her husband Vince are working the business<br />

together and she said he is an invaluable part of their success.<br />

It is the first time they have done a network marketing business<br />

together. Maria has done several home-based businesses. She<br />

has been very successful with other businesses but they usually<br />

started out as a means to getting products at a discount. This<br />

time, however, there is equal emphasis on the business, which<br />

results partly from having a product that is so powerful.<br />

The product has also been pivotal to her success in marketing it. She feels the key to her<br />

success has been follow-up and staying focused on helping team members. Like many other<br />

successful recruiters, Maria starts out by giving people a week’s sample of the product. She<br />

says she then follows up within 3 or 4 days. She is there to answer any questions and give<br />

feedback about the product and business. Maria said this method has resulted in close to a 98<br />

percent success rate. Almost everyone she has given IntroPacks to have gone on to become<br />

Preferred Customers or Associates, although she said the majority came on as Associates.<br />

Pamala and Dr. Thomas Wilson are used to being in<br />

the public eye. Dr. Wilson is a respected chiropractor and<br />

Pamala a renowned marketer who was listed as one of the<br />

top 10 influential women in the wine industry.<br />

Many of their Associates and Preferred Customers have come<br />

on board because they can see the glow from the Wilsons<br />

and ask what their secret is. “We love being together. We’re<br />

always happy,” Pamala said. They have brought many people<br />

on board as a result of this.<br />

Dr. Wilson said <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> has a compensation plan that makes it possible for<br />

everyone to succeed, with a product unlike anything on the market. He credited Pamala<br />

with coming up with a very simple and effective method for introducing people to it.<br />

She approaches people and says, “Take the product for a week.” It’s a statement not a<br />

question. Then she either sells them a one-week sample pack or gives it to them if they are<br />

reluctant to buy. If they don’t want to go beyond the week they don’t have to, she said, but<br />

she’s found almost without exception people want to try it. In fact, only one person has said<br />

no since she started using this approach. Those who try it almost always want to continue.<br />

Pamala said she doesn’t pressure people she just lets the product speak for itself.<br />

Another approach Pamala came up with, and which is effective for both of them, is saying,<br />

“This is a big opportunity. Someone will share it with you sooner or later, it might as well<br />

be us.” Many of Dr. Wilson’s colleagues have responded positively to this approach, both<br />

because of his credibility as a doctor and because of the conviction behind his statement,<br />

backed by a powerful belief in the product.<br />

Nancy Balogh heard about <strong>Max</strong>GXL when she approached Dave<br />

Tipton, now on her <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> team, about a product from a<br />

different company. When Dave gave her a sample of <strong>Max</strong>GXL she<br />

researched it, tried it out and in a short time was sold on it. She saw<br />

almost immediately that, based on the product and the company, it was a<br />

better opportunity than the one she was involved in. Since she had been<br />

with the other company only briefly before coming to <strong>Max</strong>GXL, it wasn’t<br />

a tough decision or transition.<br />

Nancy says most of her success marketing <strong>Max</strong>GXL results from her own enthusiasm and<br />

passion for it. She said she spent a lot of time researching the product and the company.<br />

The more she learned the more passionate she became about it.<br />

So far all of the people Nancy has recruited have signed up as Associates, but she says she<br />

gears her approach to the needs of each person and is open to signing people as Preferred<br />

Customers or whatever their individual situation seems to dictate. “You need to lead by<br />

example but also be true to yourself and your team and it will become clear which way to<br />

go with each situation,” she said.<br />

Top Associate Recruiters Randy and Jillyn Haymore and Ty Tribble and<br />

Bo Short of <strong>Max</strong> Impact were featured in last month’s e-newsletter and<br />

have placed among the top recruiters once again!<br />

<strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> honors the following Top<br />

Revenue Recruiters:<br />

Patrick Roy and Paul Rix are in a business partnership<br />

called MAXPPL. They have been friends for nearly 10 years and<br />

have been involved with various businesses together during<br />

that time. Paul said when he heard about <strong>Max</strong>GXL he was<br />

hesitant at first but when he tried the product, looked into the<br />

opportunity, then met with Ken Dunn, he knew it was a lifechanging<br />

endeavor.<br />

When marketing <strong>Max</strong>GXL, Patrick says he tries to target people with an open mind, who<br />

are looking to make a positive change in their lives. He will often approach people with a<br />

background in network marketing, who are already familiar with the industry, but is happy<br />

to talk to anyone who is willing to listen and try it. Patrick said when he can see someone<br />

isn’t open to the message he respectfully walks away. He said he was much the same at<br />

first. He feels if he continues to push with a person who is not prepared to listen it will<br />

only permanently turn them off. He has found that it isn’t at all uncommon for such people<br />

to come back later and seek information from him when they see the positive changes in<br />

his life. Two of the people he’s signed up as Super-Achievers were in that category and had<br />

no interest initially. “It’s an easy product to market,” Patrick said. “It sells itself.” Patrick<br />

encourages anyone just starting out to persevere, because it can be frustrating when you’re<br />

just starting out. If you fight through it and don’t give up you’re bound to succeed, he said.<br />

Like the Dees and Wilsons, Lielane and Jovita Peralta have been successful as a<br />

team marketing <strong>Max</strong>GXL. Lielane feels her success grows out of her own excitement for<br />

the product after experiencing many positive results. She was a skeptic when Joni Yundt<br />

first introduced her to <strong>Max</strong>GXL, but quickly changed her mind when the discomfort in her<br />

wrists that she had suffered for years was virtually gone after just a few days on <strong>Max</strong>GXL.<br />

It also helped her husband, Jovita, who has had variety of health issues over the years and<br />

who, after a short time on the product, went to the doctor, and showed normal cholesterol<br />

levels, something that was a problem before.<br />

She said she brings her “tools” with her everywhere she goes, the magazine and DVD and<br />

Dr. Keller CDs. When an opportunity presents itself she either shares her story, gives them<br />

some of her tools, or both, depending on the circumstance. It has worked well for her.<br />

When people see her passion for Dr. Keller and his amazing product, and tells them her<br />

personal experience, they almost always want to know more. With only one exception all<br />

of the people she has recruited came on board as Associates.<br />

Tom Yundt admits that teamed with his wife, Joni, they are<br />

pretty darn good at marketing <strong>Max</strong>GXL, but he gives her most<br />

of the credit. “She’s the marketing guru,” he said.<br />

Joni has a knack for marketing after years of working in<br />

various capacities in the industry over the years. Tom says<br />

that for him, it is a matter of learning to be the inviter, not the<br />

presenter and using the tools, like 3-way calls, “Your Business<br />

At Home” magazine and DVD, and CDs featuring Dr. Keller, the<br />

way they are meant to be used.<br />

Tom has to remind himself and his team that no matter how smart or educated prospects<br />

may be (and he just signed up a PhD on his team) to “dumb it down” and let the product<br />

and company speak for themselves, through the many great tools at their disposal. Tom<br />

said he is working with an amazing team in Hawaii that is out of control with excitement<br />

over sharing <strong>Max</strong>GXL.<br />

“We are enjoying sharing the product and are getting extremely positive responses from<br />

friends and family we are introducing it to,” he said.<br />

Tom has worked in engineering for 25 years and is doing well enough with <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />

that he envisions a time in the near future where he could be making a permanent career<br />

change, he said.<br />

Wendy Brady said that she and her sponsor, Noelene Walton, use<br />

a sincere approach to marketing <strong>Max</strong>GXL, using their own experience<br />

along with information about the company. The primary tools they<br />

use are a home presentation and something they call a “<strong>Max</strong> Pack”<br />

they put together, which includes literature from the website, Dr.<br />

Keller CDs and DVDs.<br />

“We try to reach each individual with the materials,” Wendy said.<br />

Wendy said the magazine has been invaluable for introducing people<br />

to the product. “My sponsor gave me 50 of these wonderful mags. I have signed up triathletes<br />

and weight lifters using the magazines. Being in Australia we have no other “<strong>Max</strong>”<br />

accessories to use and these are wonderful.”<br />

When introducing people to <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> Wendy first shares her own experience,<br />

tells them it’s the best business and product around, then invites them to her home for<br />

a meeting and takes it from there, she said. “I would like to thank my sponsor Noelene<br />

Walton and her sponsor Katrina Farnham, they have been wonderful! They always go that<br />

extra step, which is great learning experience for me as my <strong>Max</strong> empire grows,” she said.<br />

GoldAssociates<br />

Dr. Steven Davis from Redding, California has worked in a number<br />

of network marketing companies because he finds that breakthrough<br />

health products often are marketed this way. Dr. Davis said Dr. Keller has<br />

developed something he’s been seeking for many years. It is the most<br />

significant breakthrough he’s encountered and his success in marketing<br />

it has grown out this. He shares it with friends, family and patients<br />

because he believes in it completely.<br />

Robert Canner of Greensboro, North Carolina said that to achieve Gold Advancement,<br />

a number of great friends had to make a decision to win. After selecting a list of 100<br />

people to approach, Robert stopped after the first thirty. Sixteen decided to win, he said.<br />

He met with each individually, and they teamed up to reach their financial goals with <strong>Max</strong><br />

<strong>International</strong>. Reaching Gold is significant he said, but it’s just a milestone on the way to<br />

Double Diamond this year. “The main significance is to show our <strong>Max</strong> team that if I can do<br />

it, we all can do it,” he said.

Ty Tribble and Bo Short of <strong>Max</strong> Impact in Federal Way,<br />

Washington said their advancement to Gold Associate<br />

happened as a result of developing a plan, working it<br />

consistently, and getting prospective partners around<br />

the team. Bo said, “We have such a wonderful team<br />

that sharing the opportunity to associate with people of<br />

such value is an honor.” He said if they ask their partners<br />

to ‘give their best and reach their highest’ we must do<br />

so as well. It is crucial in each stage of the building process that we work our business in a<br />

fashion that sets the tempo for the team, he said.<br />

Rick and Elaine Lynas of London, Ontario, said achieving<br />

Gold Associate involved being themselves and being totally<br />

passionate about the vision of <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> as a worldwide<br />

phenomenon. Rick said it will also help spur the team that helped<br />

get them to Gold. “It is now time to help them do the same,”<br />

he said. After working in the industry over 30 years, Rick is<br />

convinced <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> will revolutionize the industry and<br />

will become the largest company in network marketing history.<br />

Thomas and Joni Yundt of Honolulu, Hawaii, said that<br />

becoming Gold Associates was about having faith in the<br />

system and a belief in the product. It’s a matter of taking the<br />

time necessary to succeed and persevering through the hard<br />

times, Tom said. In Hawaii’s tough economy people often have<br />

to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. “Seeing what we’ve<br />

been able to accomplish financially gives others hope for both<br />

financial and personal success and freedom,” he said.<br />

Karen and Kenny Wagner of Herriman, Utah, said that<br />

achieving Gold Associate was a combination of a passion for<br />

<strong>Max</strong>GXL, a lot of hard work, patience, mentoring team members<br />

and refusing to give up. Another key element was finding good<br />

people to help with the business. The Wagners feel they are a<br />

good example of how two people who have never worked in<br />

network marketing can succeed with hard work, determination<br />

and a great team.

PlatinumAssociates<br />

Steve Kent of Kaneohe, Hawaii said that by utilizing tools, the<br />

system and working diligently with the team, he was able to advance<br />

to Platinum Associate. He gives much of the credit to an amazing<br />

core group. Guidance, knowledge of the industry and mentoring<br />

genius from a mentor and his sponsor, Steve Lee, proved invaluable<br />

towards his success. Steve feels achieving Platinum validates the <strong>Max</strong><br />

opportunity. He’s grateful to all those contributing and blessed to work<br />

with Dr. Keller’s amazing nutraceutical, <strong>Max</strong>GXL. By rising above a<br />

compromised financial situation, those partnering with him have been<br />

given a first-hand vision of what they, too, can accomplish.<br />

Louis Volpe of Redding, California said that for him achieving Platinum<br />

Associate was about, among other things, leadership. Identifying and<br />

supporting leaders on your own team as well as the corporate executives<br />

and founders. “Your company is only as strong as your leadership,”<br />

Louis said. “If you don’t have great people at the top, your company<br />

won’t succeed.” With strong leadership, an amazing, scientificallybased<br />

product, and a first-rate compensation plan, you can’t go wrong.<br />

Louis said it felt awesome to advance to Platinum and looks forward to<br />

advancing even further. He said it’s also about helping others. “Once<br />

I’ve achieved my goals, it’s all about helping others achieve theirs.”<br />

DiamondAssociate<br />

Jim Fitzpatrick of Kelowna, British Columbia, said the secret to his<br />

success in achieving Diamond Associate is consistently sponsoring<br />

people and finding the right people to sponsor. He said it’s important to<br />

differentiate between the opportunity searcher and the true business<br />

builder. Finding the right people to work with can put you on the<br />

fast track to success. New blood is the life blood of your team, Jim<br />

said. Keeping your team informed and recognizing people’s efforts as<br />

they advance in the company is vital to success. Jim feels achieving<br />

Diamond only increases his credibility and believability in the company.<br />

If it’s done once it can be done again, Jim said. If he can achieve<br />

Diamond, so can the people on his team.

he said, is a direct reflection of his team’s efforts. Without his team he<br />

simply wouldn’t have achieved the level of success he has. By sticking<br />

to the basics, using established tools to present the products and the<br />

opportunity, and teaching his team to do the same, he’s been able to<br />

advance. Reaching this milestone, he feels, demonstrates to his team<br />

the potential that is possible for each of them. Alan now considers it<br />

his responsibility to give back by helping them reach the same level of<br />

success. “With a special product in <strong>Max</strong>GXL and a fabulous group of founders and corporate<br />

officers, invaluable creative support from people like Russ Garn, who provide first rate tools<br />

for the field, my job becomes a lot easier,” he said.<br />

Triple Diamond<br />

Associates<br />

Bill L. Andersen of Salt Lake City, Utah, is celebrating his advancement<br />

to <strong>Max</strong> Triple Diamond. But don’t think he’s taking any time off to do<br />

so. Bill has a personal goal to talk to five people about <strong>Max</strong> every single<br />

day. He will explain just how amazing <strong>Max</strong>GXL and <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />

are and invite the person to take a closer look. He sends them a sample<br />

of the <strong>Max</strong>GXL and lets this fabulous product do the talking! He also<br />

tells them that he is truly a product of the product. Bill dared to dream,<br />

to be passionate about <strong>Max</strong>GXL and to commit to never give up. “<strong>Max</strong><br />

has challenged me to become a better person,” Bill says. He is now<br />

leading the way for others to achieve the same success.<br />

Ken Dunn from Toronto, Canada, says that his business model is a<br />

marathon not a sprint. He’s in it for the long run and even at Triple<br />

Diamond he still does what it takes, including putting in 20-hour-days.<br />

Tell Ken why you think <strong>Max</strong>GXL is wonderful and he immediately replies,<br />

“That’s why I’m here. <strong>Max</strong>GXL is life-changing. It’s the product that sold<br />

me on this company.” For Ken, building friendships is one of the keys<br />

to success. After all, he says, our business is one of introductions. “We<br />

introduce people to the product and we introduce them to the opportunity.”<br />

“We empower through words,” Ken explained. He wants his team to drop<br />

“someone else’s perfect script” and speak from their heart. “Those are the golden nuggets,”<br />

he says.

<strong>Message</strong> from Russ Garn<br />

Creative/Marketing Director at <strong>Max</strong><br />

We live in a visual world. Everything<br />

we see impacts us, both consciously<br />

and unconsciously.<br />

Companies will spend inordinate amounts of money<br />

to create a “brand” for their corporation, their logo<br />

and their products. If the company does not present<br />

a consistent image, their message will be visually<br />

confusing. The branding must be dynamic, professional<br />

and consistent. That consistency must be there for<br />

everything: marketing materials, advertisements or<br />

web content.<br />

What was the thinking behind the creation of <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> branding? The<br />

guiding vision or philosophy of <strong>Max</strong> is that this is a science-based company with a truly<br />

credible product. <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> is like a breath of fresh air in the MLM world. There are<br />

passionate dedicated leaders at <strong>Max</strong> with a unique, rock-solid product that brings results<br />

to those who take it.<br />

The stylized “M” for <strong>Max</strong> (some call it a ‘swoosh’) represents the three dynamic founders<br />

of <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong>, Steve Scott, Greg Fullerton and Fred Ninow. The “M” is powerful,<br />

speaking graphically of strength and stability. The “M” also symbolizes movement—a<br />

company that is going somewhere FAST! This visual representation of movement speaks to<br />

me of knowing the positive direction this company is taking. The founders came together<br />

with a vision in which <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> is the realization. I wanted to capture what the<br />

three founders represent, their vision and a sense of going somewhere.<br />

The tag line, “Look, Feel, Live to the <strong>Max</strong>” summed up in a few, powerful words the<br />

image of the founders and the overall message of <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong>. It says in the most<br />

concise way what the company is about: living life to the <strong>Max</strong> and fulfilling dreams.<br />

Corporate colors also play a vital role in projecting an image. Red, to me, represents the<br />

body and the vibrant message of <strong>Max</strong> to “look, feel and live to the <strong>Max</strong>!” It’s a warm,<br />

inviting color that helps visually to tell the message of what <strong>Max</strong> is all about. Silver is a<br />

classy, complementary color while black is a color of strength and dominance. Right away,<br />

you receive the message that <strong>Max</strong> is powerful from our colors alone!

Though I have been around MLM companies, I come with<br />

an outsider’s point of view. I see the big picture and I<br />

can say that I’ve not seen an opportunity of this level<br />

with leaders who have the kind of integrity found in <strong>Max</strong><br />

founders and executives AND a compelling product.<br />

Like Greg Fullerton has said, at <strong>Max</strong> you can fulfill your<br />

dreams, whether to pay off your home, set aside money<br />

for college for your kids, have more time with your<br />

family or be happy in a fun career where you are not<br />

just clocking in and waiting for someone to tell you what<br />

to do! Any of these dreams are worthy and possible with<br />

<strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong>.<br />

My vision is to create for you the tools that will assist<br />

you in making those dreams come true. From the “5 ways” brochure that will assist you<br />

in recruiting and retaining customers, to the “Your Business At Home” magazine letting<br />

you be the messenger while the magazine teaches the message, to the IntroPack with<br />

its innovative direction in reaching out and creating success. With tools like these, it is<br />

absolutely possible for anyone to succeed in this business! These powerful tools with their<br />

creative look will help you share the <strong>Max</strong> way and achieve all your dreams.<br />

<strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> is on the cutting edge of science and opportunity.<br />

And our wonderful Associates are truly taking it to the <strong>Max</strong>!<br />
