David Colister here, Vice President of Field Operations and Overseer of the ViSalus Sciences Faith-Based Initiative. Recently, the company commissioned me to help distributors reach and work with the faith-based community, particularly leaders of churches, missions, authors, etc. I want to make some resources immediately available to you that will dramatically increase your impact on the health of Americans, as well as impact your personal income by working closely with, and funding, ministries.

If you know ministers (pastors, teachers, authors, missionaries, etc.) we want to  help you create a healthy and profitable ViSalus relationship with that minister. In the U.S., the faith-based community is the proven leader in terms of market penetration for networkers.

Relating our products and opportunity to those in the ministry requires a marketing different approach than those used for other types of prospective customers and/or distributors. Optimizing a ministry’s customer and distributor acquisition also requires (for IRS and other considerations) a different administrative process for the distributor and ministry.

We are rapidly creating resources for your use in marketing to and servicing ministries. Below are some resources already available:

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE RESOURCES:
………

$49 BASIC DISTRIBUTOR ENROLLMENT FEE WAIVED
Any ordained or licensed (usually support personnel are licensed, not ordained) minister may take advantage of this free Basic Enrollment. There is currently no online process for this. Simply have the minister complete the distributor application in full (minus payment information) and fax it to the number at the top of the application (877-547-1570). In order for this to be properly processed, please include at the top of the application “Attn: Zorica, Faith-Based Initiative”. The minister will also need to include a copy of his or her ordination or ministry license with the fax.

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE TRAINING CALL
This training call is for ViSalus distributors (ONLY) who want to master the art and science of engaging ministers and ministries for ViSalus. Talk about highly-influential people! The median size of a congregation is approximately 100 members. So the warm market of pastors is almost 10 times the size of the average person. Add to this that nearly all pastors know dozens, if not hundreds, of other pastors! Mix in mega churches and parachurch organizations and you have a warm market of over 150 million Americans (over 50% of the U.S. population)! The mission, message, and methods required to optimize your faith-based initiative impact are the most important things discussed on this interactive call. Again, this training call is NOT for visitors! Only active ViSalus distributors should be on this powerful time of training and leadership interaction.

Faith-Based Initiative Training Call:
Every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month: (September:  14th and 28th)
Time: 1 p.m. Pacific Time (2-Mountain, 3-Central, 4-Eastern)
Call (Distributors ONLY):  712-432-0800
Use Access Code (when prompted): 998228#
