Sarnicola brings with him former ViSalus Vice President of Sales Mike Craig to break records in the Network Marketing Industry.
LOS ANGELES, CA – January 11th, 2010 – ViSalus Sciences Co-Founder Nick Sarnicola has announced that he will be stepping down from his role as Chief Sales Officer in order to build a new team from the ground up as a ViSalus Distributor. He looks forward to being a leader in the field, executing the ViSalus sales and training model and providing key feedback to the company he helped create.
Also announcing his decision to join Sarnicola as a Distributor is Mike Craig, who has served as the company’s Vice President of Sales, working closely with Sarnicola over the past year. Together they will build a new organization as they share the Body by Vi Challenge, a 90 Day Health Transformation initiative that has fueled ViSalus’ growth over the past 6 months.
For Sarnicola, this step is a return to his roots as a builder. “I’ve been involved with the Network Marketing Industry for 13 years, the last 5 of those in a corporate role with ViSalus,” said Sarnicola. “I have loved taking my vision and turning it into a reality with an amazing community of people, but I have missed the lifestyle that comes with being a Distributor. I can’t wait to put some of our latest strategies into action to create success stories on an even larger scale, and help thousands upon thousands of people enjoy better Life, Health, and Prosperity.”
With the company’s Body by Vi Challenge sweeping the nation, and the backing and stability of a publicly-traded, billion-dollar direct sales leader in Blyth, Inc., the timing was perfect for Sarnicola to join the ViSalus field and experience life as an Independent Distributor once again. “I have always said that the best job in the company should be that of the Distributor, and I’m excited to go live that lifestyle. I have found my utopia.”
For Mike Craig, who has worked closely with Sarnicola in the past, his time with ViSalus showed him the potential of the company’s products and opportunity. An expert in sales systems, Craig will serve as an integral part to the success of this new organization. “Like Nick, I am a builder at heart,” said Craig. “Traveling the country and speaking at ViSalus events over the past year has re-ignited that spark within me and showed me that ViSalus is a special place. When Nick decided to move into the field, I couldn’t pass up that opportunity.”
Sarnicola’s Co-Founders, CEO Ryan Blair and Chief Marketing Officer Blake Mallen, will continue to work with the current leadership to support the growth of the ViSalus community. They are excited to take another step towards their vision of ViSalus becoming the ultimate health transformation opportunity worldwide.
“When Nick came to me with this idea, and I saw the passion in his eyes, I was thrilled to support his desire to join the field,” said Blair. “Nick is an amazing entrepreneur, and with Mike as on his team, I have no doubt that they will be extremely successful.”
Blake Mallen, who has worked with Sarnicola for over a decade, is excited to support a longtime friend. “Nick and I were Distributors together when we launched our careers in Network Marketing. I know what he brings to the table. The existing team of ViSalus leaders is exceptional. Mike and Nick just bring one more competitive advantage.”
Sarnicola has the opportunity to achieve exciting new goals alongside a community that is close to his heart. “I love every one of our Distributors,” Sarnicola said. “I am thrilled today to join them in taking the life-transforming ViSalus vision to new heights.”

Not Your Average Financial Opportunity…
When ViSalus announced a series of Compensation Plan enhancements in early February, we knew that there would be plenty of excitement across our community.
What we never expected, however, was to see so many records broken so quickly by new Distributors taking action towards their goals. We have seen a surge in new Bimmer Club members from coast to coast, massive increases in both Customer and Distributor enrollment, and new markets are popping up at an unprecedented rate.
Whether you know all about these enhancements, or you’re still getting acquainted with them, we wanted to provide you some resources so you can take advantage of benefits like these:
- More Customers, More money! – Earn up to 25% commission from your ViSalus customers.
- Simpler Rank Requirements Lead to Faster Promotions! – No more sticks and circles! Personally enroll new Distributors and build your Group Volume to promote yourself along the ViSalus career path!
- Faster Weekly Pay – In by Sunday, paid on MONDAY!
- Now Everyone Can Earn From the Entire Company’s Revenue!– Take advantage of the Weekly Enrollers Pool and get paid an extra bonus every Monday!
- Get Paid to Help People Share! - New Product Package Bonuses marry opportunity & product by allowing you to earn on Product Package orders of new Distributors!
- Million-a-year potential! - Get paid for retaining your team members by earning an Ambassador Star Bonus from Vi-Net subscription renewals.
- Streamlined Fusion Bonuses! – Tying education with compensation, get paid to train and develop your ViSalus team.
- And so many more business building benefits, like “Real Time Promotions,” a “60 – Day Waiting Room,“ “Two month Grace Period for new Regional Directors and above,” and “Rolling QV!”
These are just a few of the reasons why ViSalus leaves any other industry compensation plan in the dust!
At ViSalus, our internal mantra is “Don’t Be Average!”
Too many people settle for average. Nothing we do as a company has been or ever will be average. Those who are attracted to the ViSalus community are definitely anything but average!
The new Compensation Plan is far from average! Be sure to learn how to maximize these and other enhancements so we can celebrate your success at Vitality, July 17th – 19th in Anaheim, CA!

My First BMW!
T. John Nelson
Congratulations to T. John Nelson, a new Regional Director from Chugiak, Alaska, on his new ViSalus BMW! After achieving the position of Regional Director in just 14 days, he is now driving a beautiful BMW X5, perfect for the extremes of Alaskan weather. Working with our partner dealership in Anchorage, he was able to get such a great deal that he has an extra $350 of his BMW bonus left over each month to help him pay for insurance, gas, and anything else his family needs. The difference in handling and performance is “priceless,” Nelson said, “but with budget being my family’s first priority, this is a real win win!”

Congratulations 2009 Kickoff Campaign Cities!
ViSalus sure knows how to get a party started, don’t we???
ViSalus got January off to a rocking start with some huge new announcements like our new “Vi-Net & Training ESS,” Vi-Net Annual Beta Pricing Offer, and new Executive Product Packages. Some of these offers expire Saturday at midnight when the month closes, so act quickly!
Then, to keep the momentum going, our Founders hit the road for their 2009 Kickoff Campaign, a 9-city tour that brought this message to over 1,300 people in our top markets across the country, sharing simple strategies for how to earn more with ViSalus in 2009.
We want to take this opportunity to congratulate the leaders in each of our Kickoff Campaign cities. Ambassador and Fusion Certified Trainer Ashley Riggs was asked what this event meant to her and her team:

This event was a dream come true for me personally, to go back home to the south and make a positive change in that many people’s lives. I could not have hoped for a better day. The West Georgia and Alabama markets are very new yet we had about 100 people in the room! Whether a brand new distributor or an industry veteran, if you made it out to the Founders Kickoff Campaign, there is no way you left that event without learning a few things to explode your business in 2009.The intense training hosted by our CSO, Nick Sarnicola, was a powerful, real-world, get you outside-of-your-comfort-zone-forever style training. One of two things I heard as everyone left the event, “Wow!” or “Amazing!”
