Presidential Status in 91 Days

January 25, 2012 by Vemma Home Office

You wouldn’t know it by looking at Tim and Poni Altvater now, but on a fateful summer evening in 1994, their lives were changed forever when the unthinkable happened. “As a young family, just starting out together in life, everything we knew was suddenly turned upside down for us when we were hit by a drunk driver,” Tim Altvater said. “We had devastating injuries, small children to care for, a sudden loss of all our income, and a long and draining insurance battle to deal with.”

As if that were not enough, the devastation continued for this young married couple. “It was a difficult time as I tried desperately to keep the family together,” Poni explained. “Tim had suffered a closed head injury and was expected never to work again.”

With the passing of time came a mountain of bills, and the fear of not knowing where to turn. However, in all the commotion, there seemed to be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. “I became extremely resourceful and tenacious about helping Tim recover and getting our family back on track,” Poni said. “We had never heard of network marketing and had no idea what an amazing gift it could be to us.”

Fast-forward 15 years, and you might not even recognize Tim and Poni Altvater now. Having tested the concept of network marketing, they were able to provide for their family – but now, they seem focused on planning for the future. Having worked with one other network marketing company in the past, they sought out the best brand they could find. “We searched the globe, looking for the best company to call home,” Poni said. “There are so many things we loved about Vemma it would take pages to list. However, the number one thing to us is the fact that the Brand Partners are treated with such honor, value and respect here – all the way from BK down. It’s consistent and real.” “That’s how we like to approach our A-Team, and leaders. We are committed to excellence and so appreciative of our team members it makes working so much fun!”

Leveraging what Vemma had to offer, Tim and Poni went straight to work – and within 91 days – executed a plan that helped them reach Presidential status.* “We set the very specific goal to reach Presidential in that exact timeframe,” Poni described. “We then mapped out the activity and strategy needed to do it.”

When asked what some of those action items were, Tim answered, “Our strategy was that we needed to invest the time we had in a very serious prelaunch. It was incredibly important to us that we had something to offer potential Brand Partners of the highest caliber in order for us to create the best opportunity for everyone involved – an opportunity that could create a legacy!”

Well on their way to creating just such a legacy, Tim and Poni find it easy to recruit successful Brand Partners now because of the genuine belief they both share in what network marketing can do. “When we invite someone to join our team, we treat it as the luckiest day of their lives!” Poni said. “They may or may not recognize that in the moment, but we authentically and enthusiastically invite them to be part of something incredible, something bigger than themselves – something that can even help them overcome whatever difficult circumstances they may be dealing with.”

Eager to help others find the success they’ve been able to enjoy, Tim and Poni offer the following as guidelines to building an amazing business just like their own:

Attitude – Your attitude and mindset should be the first and foremost priority. It will either lead a person toward success or away from it. We actively work on this ourselves, and with our teams every day.

Action – Most people run their business not part-time, or full-time, but “sometimes”. That leads to more of a hobby income, than a business income. Instead, set a very specific goal with a very specific timeframe. Map out exactly how many enrollments and new Brand Partners are needed to reach that goal, then divide that by the weeks you have available to create an action plan.

Marketing – There’s millions of people all over the world that are seeking this exact opportunity. The key is marketing well enough, with enough focus, to make sure they can find you! We specifically tailor our target marketing towards those people who are hoping for, and even seeking financial change in their lives. Then, when we find them, we roll up our sleeves and help them launch their business by duplicating what we’ve done!

Having obtained the impressive goal of Presidential status in three months, you might be wondering where the Altvaters will be going next.* “Our trip to the Mexican Riviera, where we can spend time with our team, other Brand Partners, and of course – BK and the staff!” Tim and Poni said. “It will be a trip to remember!”
