EDITOR´S NOTE
Dear Readers,
there are a large number of challenges – the word „problems“ is one we discarded long ago – that arise
on a daily basis for the members of a „global editorial team“ such as we have at the OBTAINER. And here
I‘m not talking about the technical requirements that form the basis for the functioning of the collaboration of columnists and distribution managers across borders and continents. Without the Internet and
e-mail this new form of worldwide reporting about a specific industry wouldn‘t be possible at all. But even
when all the servers hum along briskly and all the data cables, transistors and processors do their job as
intended and planned, it is necessary for journalists working in front of a global background to regularly
navigate around rocks that colleagues who work on a local or regional level don‘t even know.
That begins with the fact that we can‘t use most of our oh so wonderful „wordplays“ or „puns“ any more
since as a rule, unfortunately, they only function in one language and after translation into other idioms
they often only provoke head-shaking incomprehension. Which brings us to the next problem – body
language. For example, in Germany and numerous other countries shaking your head means “No” and
nodding your head means “Yes.” However, there are other countries (e.g. Greece) where it‘s just the opposite. But will the translator remember to transform “head-shaking incomprehension” into “head-nodding
incomprehension” when he translates the text into Greek?
Or what about the weather? One of the most popular topics all over the world. Just today I wanted to
compare two reports about economic policy that are in the headlines at the moment with the weather –
which at least in Berlin would make sense. But what will the readers in Oklahoma or Mumbai make of this
information? And what about the religious and cultural attitudes of our readers? Many formulations that
readers in the USA or Canada might find “amusing” or “ironic” could in Asia or the Middle East provoke
angry indignation that the editor didn‘t even trouble his mind with when he was writing since he lives in
a completely different sociocultural frame of reference.

As far as this danger is concerned our translators distinguish themselves, fortunately, by a high degree of
sensitivity and creative awareness. For this I would like to thank our translators here in the name of all my
colleagues. And so I finally come back to the topic I started this train of thought with – the weather. The
weather in Berlin, Germany. This weather is this year in July as you would actually expect the weather in
this region to be in April: changeable. Sun and rain, clouds and calm weather have been alternating for
weeks. Some days are warm and humid, others again cool and windy. It almost appears as if the weather
can‘t decide what it wants to be.
And – at least her in this country – this is exactly how it is with the economic news. “The consumer climate is improving surprisingly strongly” says one report current today, for example. “Signs of an upturn”
are apparently being seen by numerous economists, but you ask yourself: To what extent is this “wishful
thinking?” When at the same time in the USA consumer confidence is sinking and respected voices are
warning that “the credit card bubble will burst,” you can assume “that one swallow does not a summer
make” – as people would say in England... and already I‘m asking myself how the people in the Pacific
region who speak “Mengubah Bahasa” might express that.
But at least we would be back to the topic summer – and to our beautiful industry. Not only that the
complaints about the “general economic situation” are more or less non-existent in network marketing

With the launch of its new topical skin
product line known as GLIMPSE™, XanGo
is shifting into top gear so that the goal of
paying distributors 1 billion in commissions
will probably be broken in the near future.
Glimpse uses exclusive ingredients from

organ – the skin. In combination with its

is a real selling point for its distributors and

my skin,” she explains. “It was difficult for me to find a suitable care line. Even when I used popular brands, I had great
problems. In contrast, Glimpse felt very soft on my skin and
helped to stem my inflammations. Since then I have been using the complete range – the cleansing cream, the facial tonic,
the serum and the moisturizer – twice a day.”
Dr. Posang, who spent her own childhood in Asia, has been
familiar with the mangosteen fruit since an early age. “My
grandfather used to squeeze the rind and use it on the skin,”
reports the doctor: “In Thailand, where I am from, they say
that the fruit has healing properties and helps the cells to regenerate. I have also met doctors from Japan who have started researching the mangosteen. They’ve told me that the fruit
can also help babies and children with eczemas and skin allergies.”
From its inception, adherence to ethical standards has been
one of XanGo‘s basic principles. Beverly Hollister explains
this as follows: “While we don’t compromise on our products’
performance, our commitment to producing green, toxin-free
products has been one of the keys to Glimpse’s success. As
a socially responsible company, we have made the commitment that no component of Glimpse will damage the earth.
Our packaging is biodegradable and we also observe the requirements of the European Union by using green, non-toxic
ingredients. Although this commitment costs us more in the
production of Glimpse products, we believe it is the right step
toward a better future.”
From its beginnings, XanGo’s products have been based on
a deep appreciation of natural plants and health, primarily
due to the company’s six founders experience in the industry. Gordon and Joe Morton, only to mention two of them,
came by this orientation naturally since they were raised by a
father who managed the Canadian branch of a global natural
products company and a mother who had her own health food
store. So they were already familiar with natural products
long before these became mainstream. Years later Joe Morton

Glimpse is available in two different ranges: one for normal
and one for particularly dry skin. The four-stage care program
consists of a cleanser, a toner, a serum and a moisturizing
cream. The Glimpse system was developed to “decelerate”
the aging of the skin and to make the skin look younger and
healthier. Glimpse reinforces the natural regeneration of the
skin and stimulates the skin cells to assist in the production of
natural collagen. Clinical studies have proven that Glimpse increases the firmness and elasticity of the skin and can reduce
redness and inflammation.
Glimpse is most effective when it is used as a complete system and twice a day. Here XanGo advises users to experiment
with the products in order to find out the combination that
works best for them. The normal use of the four-stage care
program is simple and begins with washing the face with the
cleansing or moisturizing gel. In the next step the toner is applied, followed by the serum, which relieves the skin of the
stress caused by climatic and environmental influences. The
final step is the use of the moisturizing cream or lotion, which
hydrates and refreshes the skin.

lready early on Friday afternoon the company invited all managers to a special training marathon.
Many international top earners, among them
Sharon Sharrif and Sherman Unker, offered the
participants their experiences and their know-how. But all
participants were agreed that it was Estella Salina, who had
come from Mexico, that touched the audience most. Estella
Salina is considered in the „XanGo Family“ as the new super-
star. The Mexican holds the only position anywhere outside
the USA that has qualified as a 500 K Premier. Her upline,
Anton Garrity – brother of the XanGo founder Aaron Garrity
– is rightly very proud of his most successful manager.
At the end of the first day there was also a first surprise for
those attending. They got to know Beverly Hollister. One
participant summed it up briefly: “Beverly cam, saw and conquered!” Indeed, you got the impression that the American
superwoman and wife of XanGo founder is a personified embodiment of GLIMPSE. Her talk sparkled with enthusiasm
and you saw her deep conviction with regard to the quality of
the new product. On the next day GLIMPSE was also officially launched by her onto the European market. In a personal
discussion with Beverly she also left it in no doubt who the
market would belong to in future. It really was the ultimate
in leadership training. In conclusion the charismatic founders
Kent Wood and Aaron Garrity also revealed the official announcements of the next day.
After a short break the VIP buses were already waiting for
qualified Top Leaders (from the position 20K) to transport
them to a VIP dinner. Michael Sander, OBTAINER Founder
& President, was also invited by the XanGo founders and was
able to report: “Once again XanGo performed brilliantly. The
location for the dinner alone was incredible. And also – as always – everything was perfectly ‚kitted out‘ à la XanGo.”
The next day the meeting began at 9 o‘clock sharp. Although
many teams were still enjoying the nightlife of Brussels, the
Expocenter in Brussels – at the foot of the Atomium – was
already well filled. All in all there were probably between 800
and 1,000 participants present when Aaron Garrity officially

about the company and XanGo® Juice, she decided to give it a try.

“When I first heard about XanGo, I thought to
myself that this was too good to be true – that this
kind of product could not really help me with my
health concerns,” says Mugette. “Fortunately, my
research resolved some of my concerns and then I
took the product and experienced its amazing benefits; this experience changed the course of my life.”
A convert to the unique health benefits of XanGo
Juice, Mugette set out to share the product with
those within her circle of influence, many of
whom were also looking for a natural approach toward improved health and
wellness. As she saw others strengthened by the product and excited
about the company, she, too, began
to realize the great business opportunity available through XanGo.
Though XanGo had not yet officially opened for business in France,
she was determined to get more involved and decided to take a deeper look into the benefits of being
a XanGo independent distributor.
Mugette agreed to have the product
shipped from Belgium at her own
expense in order to pursue her goals.
