Passport, LLC Takes a Giant Leap Forward

Passport, LLC, a direct sales company based in Charlottesville, Virginia, has announced it plans to merge its Independent Associates into Oasis LifeSciences. Passport currently serves distributors and customers in all 50 states and U.S. territories with its nutritional, skin care and personal care product lines.

According to Passport's CEO Bo Short, "Over the past few months Passport's corporate leadership has been discussing, among others, ways to enhance distributor income and expand internationally. As well, we have been reviewing various cutting-edge nutritional products that could be offered to our associates and their customers. Oasis LifeSciences allows us access to a company with those products, a similar, but much more lucrative compensation plan, international expansion and corporate leadership that have no equal in this industry. Being that our allegiance is to the families associated with Passport, LLC we know that this opportunity represents and enormous leap forward for each one of them and we are proud to make that leap together."

Oasis LifeSciences is the delivery vehicle for companies owned by Bill Lee. Among his holdings are Aloecorp -- the world's leader in the production of Aloe vera and Unigen Pharmaceuticals. His companies have more combined research space, more scientists, more published studies, patents and publications than any other natural products company in the world.

Oasis LifeSciences Chairman was formerly the CEO and President of Avon. Through his leadership Avon grew from $400 million dollars to become the largest direct sales company in the world. In addition, their CEO was the President/CEO of Nature's Way as well as the former Sr. V.P. of McKesson Drug Company. The Vice Chairman of their Field Leadership Council is Marshall Douglas. Working with the Passport's executive team Mr. Douglas will oversee the integration of Passport Independent Associates under the Oasis LifeSciences umbrella.

"Both Passport and Oasis LifeSciences were founded on the premise that people want an honest opportunity on which they can reach their financial goals," Marshall stated. He added, "I am honored to work alongside people that share our values and look forward to a rewarding future for each of Passport's Independent Associates as they partner with Oasis LifeSciences."

Jeffery Combs - Passport LLC Guest Speaker (Repost)

Jeffery Combs was our guest speaker last night, May 12, 2005, and let me tell you - he overloaded us with his perspective and information. This audio, though only about 30 minutes, is packed. As we were prepping the audio in the editing room, one word kept coming to mind - "BOFFO!"
I know it's not really a word but it sums it up best for me.

Jeff Combs really pours it on during this call and many callers that heard this live have said how much they enjoyed it and found great value in the things he discussed.

This was our third guest speaker in the series of guests presented by Passport LLC. It seems that each session improves and yet I sense that we are beginning to create a mosiac of insight and thoughful perspectives from veterans of the industry.

Thank you Jeff for taking time to share with us and we look forward to when our paths may cross next.

Leads - Important business tool (repost)

Using leads to build your business can be an invaluable tool. When your "warm market" contacts have been explored, we all need to find and develop new potential business partners and clients. There are many approaches you can take and one is the use of leads. Whether you purchase leads from a broker or develop your own through some form of capture mechanisms, any further discussion requires that one have a good grasp of the defining terms and conditions. Passport LLC recently hosted Jeanne Alexander of Responsive Data LLC, a lead company, to discuss some of the basic concepts about leads and the leads marketing process.

Here is an audio from the meeting.
