This was the start of "Nikken on Tour" for April. The flight from London (terminal 5) was delayed by nearly 2 hours, so we really had to run to get to the meeting, set it up and then look relaxed and in control. Of course we did it. Jerry, Sven and myself had a good time - and judging from the amount of people who stayed behind so did the audience.
It's been a while since my last blog and a lot has gone one. In January we announced the plan for the next 6 months at Nikken. Well here we are in April and so far, so good. We have launched new nutritional products, new Air Wellness Power5 Pro and a better shower head. Despite increasing oil prices, we managed to reduce delivery charges in a number of countries. The new product catalogue was released, with redesigned price lists, on time. Finally, we have released product packs to help turning a home into a Wellness Home much easier.
The changes have been many and extensive. There are still a few things to roll out, like the new Demonstration Pack and Personal Web Pages. However, it's now time to stop changing and use these new things to create more Wellness Homes.
We have the Nikken Tour starting soon and we hope to see about 1,000 people in the 4 venues. Also the event in Germany in September is ALREADY sold out.
The convention in Oslo is going to be fantastic. We have lots of people from Norway, Sweden, Holland, Hungary, USA and many more, attending the 3 day event. The line up is amazing.
Good things are happening all over Europe. Do not miss out!
I am looking forward to these events and many more. I just have to remember to bring my camera to show you all the fun.
This is an interesting story an Hungarian man who never gave up, despite being in the Holocaust, going to deep south of United States in 1950s. Lessons for all of us.
On Valentines day, Sandra and Paul Gerrard broke a world record for hugging. They lasted 24 hours and 1 minute together. Yes they wore various Nikken products to keep out the cold and keep up the energy. Watch out for an interview of them in a forthcoming magazine.
This is the first time we have awarded this in Russia. It was won by Наталья Козупеева, or for those of you who cannot read Russian - Natalia Kozupeeva. She is a lovely lady who lives down south in Росто́в-на-Дону. I met her a couple of years ago when we opened the pick up centre. At the time she told me she would be doing great things and she was true to her word.
We announced this at Cafe Pushkin and invited a couple of other top leaders, who were also very close to wining, to join in the celebration.
WOW! The Nikken Humans Being More course is one of the things that makes Nikken so special. We had a very interesting weekend in Amsterdam with all the trainers, Distributors and company staff.
Thank you everyone - I had such lovely time. It was good to see you all.
Here are the photos
Time for another visit to Turkey. It's a great place and was made a little more special by the snow everywhere. Though cold the people were as warm as ever. I love the differences in each country. At the moment we are trying to get eNikken up and running. The basics do work now, however credit card processing is a challenge. Most countries have one credit card processor to deal with. In Turkey we have to deal with many processors. The effect is to have many credit card machines (the picture is from our office in Istanbul)....now imagine the complexity of programming all those credit card interfaces (yes they are all different!!). Still that will not deter us, it'll just introduce a little delay as we deal with the processors one by one.
