Viva Espana!

Big excitement over Spanish plans

Hola! From a great meeting in Milton Keynes this week with Spanish leaders.

The Spanish market is rockin' and rollin' and the next big event to shoot for is the Madrid Expo on 22-23 September.

Some added support is now planned with materials and customer services in Spanish is now up and running!

Thanks to Team Spain for visiting us and good luck on your efforts to create even bigger success!

Hasta... soon!

Enough water

Do you drink enough water? The magic of Nikken Pi-Mag water never ceases to amaze me. It really is good stuff and something I miss a lot if I happen to leave home without the portable Magna-Tube for turning any nasty bottled water into easy-to-drink, good-for-you living water.

We have had a lot of water in the UK lately. Rain, rain, rain. To the point where this weekend it's been flooding. A lot of people affected quite dramatically. My share was only having a very long journey home on Friday night - seeing a lot of new scenery - since roads were blocked at several places. I was riding in a taxi and I don't know how many extra miles we did but we surely toured the countryside and finally made it home...

Next day I was glad to watch Victor Bischoff do an HBM training in Stanmore on the outskirts of London. It was great to see all the Pi-Mag water systems and Optimizers lined up.

Expecting visitors from Spain today! Sakita, Diamond and one of Europe's first Consultants, is coming over with a group of Spanish leaders who are really reviving the market and have created momentum there!

Enjoy your summer - hot or not. Did a trip to Brussels last week and it's interesting how the weather changes as you cross the English Channel. Great weather on the continent. UK ... naaah...

Nikken corporate planning the 2nd half of 2007

Your corporate team planning some good stuff for the rest of the year

Here we are. Spending an afternoon at the office going through targets and plans for the second half of 2007. Good times are ahead and we are very busy preparing for the Rhythm of Nikken, new products, new business tools, improving operations, updating trainings, you name it. Nikken is changing and we have cancelled all vacations to serve you... well not all vacations but activity does not slow down the middle of summer in Milton Keynes. If we only could have some more sun... to provide some variety when we look out the windows. We kind of know what rain looks like by now.

We have a lot of us Finns here at the office. Don't know how that happened but it's great to have some "sisu" at the Nikken European headquarters. Here you see one of them, Marketing Executive Mari Daly presenting the support of the Marketing Team for the Rhythm of Nikken concept. She is really excited about it and very focused on the needs of our Consultants. As mentioned, good stuff coming, all released during the next coming months.

Tenerife contest for more countries!

Good news to Consultants in Germany, Austria, Switzerland (German) and Hungary. Tenerife contest running as of ... well now!

Cancel your vacations and get your Nikken business booming so you can join us in the sun at Bahia del Duque in January! Visit the web site of this great hotel at: www.bahia-duque.com

You find the details on eNikken.

Holland rocks!

If you want to see enthusiasm, go to Holland! The Dutch Nikken Consultants livened up the Stansted convention in May, a week later they added spice to the Paris event organized by Jean-Marie Gilbert and the Desroses. Last weekend they had 48 pumped up Consultants at an HBM and there is a new one coming up soon.

I very much look forward to trying our new 2 day format BDT in Busum next week.

Today, a leadership meeting with Platinum Danice Dorrepaal, Diamond Reini Beverdam and their team of key people. Tomorrow morning I meet Jo, Ann and Jantien at Schiphol airport. Also a very committed team with great leadership.

There is great promise for growth for Nikken in Holland. Keep going, guys! We believe in you and will support you all the way to the top.

Greetings everyone from Amsterdam.

Polish eNikken coming...

Csesz!

Great news for all of you who are looking into building in Poland or already have started recruiting on the Polish market. We are in the final stages of translation and proofing of eNikken to Polish and it will be released in a matter of days! Also... you can look forward to the launch of some nutritional products early fall. Finally!

Poland is a market with huge potential for the right person who takes leadership there. A lot of materials for Poland is in production and next we will be translating and setting up the Connect web site for Poland.

Another great event in Wiesbaden

Wolfgang Sonnenburg did a splendid presentation in Wiesbaden this Saturday, just before leaving for his 2 month tour of "the beaches of the world". Enjoy Bahamas, Hawai, Florida and California, Wolfgang!

Gert van Briel, Diamond Consultant, did a fantastic job as a host of this business workshop. Christiane von Bredow gave a very inspired presentation on water. I don't know how many times I had to fill my water glass while she was explaining the importance of drinking a lot of PiMag water... but it did fell really good afterwards! Drink more!

This was the first time we gave a thorough explanation of the upcoming Rhythm of Nikken. I pointed out the benefits of the tools and concepts in development to support an orchestrated , company supported approach to building the business that will take the German speaking markets by storm and lead our success to new heights in the months to come.

This was also Steffi Heim's first official appearance in her new role as German Network Development Manager. She did it perfectly of course. Then we had to leave for the airport to embark on new adventures.

See you again next month! On 14 July, Sven Cirnski will join the show as a guest speaker.

Gunhild did it again!

Congratulations to Gunhild Haga from Norway for doing it again! She has won all our incentive trips lately, includong a double win to Dubai when there were very few winners from Europe.

Now Gunhild is the first one to already have qualified for a first ticket to the Kick Off in January 2008 in Tenerife, at the fabulous Bahia del Duque.

You can also win your ticket to participate at the event on 12-15 January with half-board service at this luxury hotel. The competition runs until 31 October!

See you there!

Nikken on YouTube

I found myself on YouTube the other day... while searching for Nikken. It's the interview that was made after the events company who helped us produce the European Convention 2006 in Amsterdam had won several awards for the production.

Find this interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTGJU8HLohY

Tony forwarded this one to me, a clip about the Wellness Home:

Another great evening in Germany

The second event featuring Prof. Zacharias was a great success. This time we were in Munich and we also got to see Royal Diamond Claus Nagel use the new business opportunity Power Point from Nikken. He did a brilliant job presenting the business using this new tool. The presentation is still in a test phase while we are updating some of the images for Europe and doing a final check on translations and so forth... But soon you will all have access to a great new presentation tool that I'm sure will help you in your recruiting.

Thank you all for attending. See you in Wiesbaden on Saturday!
