Qivana Positioned for Biggest Pre-Launch in Direct Sales History
With its focus on a systematic approach to physical improvement, core balance and core strength, Qivana is preparing for what company founders expect to be the biggest, most successful pre-launch in direct sales history. The pre-launch, which began earlier this month, continues through September with the corporate launch set for September 18-19, 2009 in Orlando, Fl. Independent Business Owners (IBO) are currently hosting pre-launch meetings across the country. For a complete list of meetings, visit www.qivana.com.
“In just a few short months, our grassroots pre-launch activities and IBO meetings have created a groundswell of excitement among thousands of entrepreneurs across the country,” said Derek Hall, founder and chief executive officer of Qivana. “People have embraced our philosophy of a systematic approach to health and recognize the tremendous business opportunity that our company and products have to offer. There is not a better time to look at building a business, and Qivana has assembled the right plan, products, people and support to become the best home-based opportunity of this decade.”
At the heart of Qivana’s approach to health is the Qore System, a practical health regimen created with natural products that follows a three-step philosophy—Stabilize, Vitalize, and Optimize. Qivana will launch with three products:
• Qore™ Probiotic – Created to help replenish healthy bacteria in the gut with a unique and proprietary blend of probiotics and Japanese technology to guarantee these healthy bacteria are delivered to the intestines unharmed.
• Qore™ Essentials – A daily proprietary blend of Asian herbs designed to help people reach their biogenetic potential. Among the herbs in Essentials is Gynostemma pentapyhllum, also known as the Crown Herb™ or the Immortality Herb™, Chinese Skullcap and White Korean Ginseng.
• Qivana’s Qore Detox – Contains Puratox™, an exclusive blend of natural products, with a scientifically-validated ability to rid the body of heavy metals, free radicals and toxins.
