  • 4 Star Golden Circle Pamela Fahey
  • IsaBody Challenge™ Winner Mike Whaley
  • Special Guests

>> Well good evening everyone, and welcome to our Tuesday night Real People, Real Results call. It’s a pleasure to have you with us. My name is Kjersti Cote, your host. Lots of people on the line from Oklahoma, I wonder why, huh? Some of our guests on the line, they’ll be sharing their stories. And we’re very, very excited to have all of the guests on.

There’s gonna be hopefully five people sharing tonight, and so I want to make the introduction to the call quite short. And then of course we’ll get into introducing some of our leaders, and find examples of Isagenix. And for those of you who are brand new Isagenix, welcome to the Isagenix family. We are so proud to have you a part of our family, and it’s amazing even with the economic recession going on as it is, Isagenix is growing with leaps and bounds every single day, people really recognizing the opportunity that’s at hand to generate income coming into their households to help to support their family, and really to set themselves financially free, and at the same time helping people improve their health and well being.

As many of you on the line know, there’s definitely a need for both of the gifts that we have here in Isagenix, the wealth, the gift of wealth, and the gift of health. And you know it’s interesting because as I was going kind of, I was kind of sifting through some statistics the other day, and it’s amazing to see what’s taking place out there. And just a few steps that I wanted to share with you tonight is that there’s so many people that are living a lifestyle that you know, possibly might be unhealthy for them, and they don’t even know it. They don’t even know it, because it’s the American way of living a life. And whether it’s you know a bunch of Starbucks, a lot of processed foods, a lot of things that we’re surrounded by. And most people have no idea that the world that we live in is riddled with a lot of environmental toxins. And to be quite honest, we not only are surrounded by the toxicity in our environment, and the pollution, the chemicals, everything that we’re exposed to in the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, the water we drink, anything that we lather on our skin, but we’re also, some of those foods that we are eating that we buy at the grocery stores are the wrong foods.

They’re lacking nutrition, they’re high calorie, low nutrition foods, and it’s amazing to hear the stats on deficiency, and people walking around not getting enough nutrients that they need on a daily basis. So when you take the body, and of course it’s being exposed to the polluted environment, we’re not eating the right foods. That contributes to obesity, it contributes to stress, and people are looking for an answer, they’re looking for a solution. And we are so excited about Isagenix, because not only does it cleanse the body, it replenishes, it revitalizes, and it helps the body to become the miracle that it was really intended to be.

So when you mix a health vehicle along with a wealth vehicle, you’ve got the magic, the magic of a [inaudible]. Because the most luxurious car you can find, and what I think I got, it’s a vehicle that allows you to get into, and put the pedal to the metal, just by you know, turning the key, pushing the gas, you get to go and build an amazing destiny, an amazing wonderful financial opportunity, and really secure your future. And as we were talking about, with the state of the economy as it is today, I was looking on some stats online, and there’s about 5.3 million people that have become unemployed in the last twelve months. And that almost, that adds about 3.4 percent to the overall percentage of those that are unemployed. And it’s pretty scary. It’s pretty scary on what’s going on out there. But as Jim Coover says, here at Isagenix, we choose not to participate in a recession. And we’re having a lot of fun showing people a financial vehicle that literally for thirty nine dollars they can get started, get themselves signed up, and get products coming to them so that they can become the product of products, and really start sharing not only the gift of health, also the gift of wealth.

So with that being said, I know that there are some people on the line that have experienced the gift of health, the gift of wealth, and they’re going to be sharing their amazing stories. So the first one I want to bring on is Miss Pamela Fahey. She is a Four Star Golden Circle. And for those of you who are brand new to Isagenix, Four Star Golden Circle is a recognition that not only you know, tells us her leadership, but also tells us that she’s making a beautiful income, generating multiple six-figure income annually. I know she builds this with her husband, she’s had a lot of success, and she hails from Oklahoma. So Pam, good evening to you. Welcome to the call.

>> Hi Kjersti.

>> How you doing?

>> We are doing fantastic here in Oklahoma. Things are going just really well, and we’re very excited to be on the call tonight with, the hardest part for me was picking and choosing out of hundreds of people that we’ve helped, who do you call on to join me on the call.

>> Exactly.

>> That’s the hardest. But I think -

>> You have, well you have a huge team, huge team. But before you bring on any of your guests, I want to hear a little bit of your story. I know that our time is limited cause we have five guests. We want to make sure everybody gets to share. And you know, there’s a lot of new people on the line that are just getting started themselves. And what can you share with everybody that’s on the line tonight? Like where did it all begin, and what has Isagenix meant to you over the last several years that you’ve been involved?

>> You know, my story is a very interesting one, because when I was introduced to it, I have to publicly thank my sponsor, Elizabeth Anderson. I know she’s on the call tonight, and I want to publicly thank her. Because when she first introduced it to me, I told her no, I told her no way, I told her never. And this sweet woman persisted in telling me about Isagenix, not for three days, not for three weeks, not for three months, but for three years before I finally said I give up, you’ve worn me out. I will sign up and just, so I’ll get in the computer so you can leave me alone. And that’s all I wanted. I literally did not want to be involved with a network marketing company; I didn’t want to try any nutrition. So I was just not a happy camper to be involved in a networking deal. And so after I was in for a year, she called me up and said you’re gonna fall off the computer, and you’ve got an organization started. And I said I do? And so she told me to check my back office. She had left me alone for that year like I begged her to, and when I checked my back office and I saw that I had a group growing, I said you know, I should try the products just to prove to myself they won’t work. And at that time I had a forty inch waistline, and I was miserably overweight, mostly in my stomach area. And I just knew that [inaudible] to take it off. So when I did the nine day program, and I saw dramatic results very quickly, I was in denial for two more months.

And so this is what’s really weird. I was so skeptical that I waited two months to get back on the scales, to prove to her that it was all gonna come back. Well only two pounds came back. And so then I said okay, why is this working? Give me another nine day program. And I did a second nine day program. The results were even better the second time. I’m like why is this working? Elizabeth, tell me. And I said I’ve got to go to the university. So I got on the plane and flew to Phoenix to go to IC University, my first one.

And three months, I mean I’m sorry, three weeks later I was an executive. I got to hear so many wonderful stories, so many heart-felt stories at that university the first time I went, I was literally blown away. I cried, I was absolutely stunned by all the people and their stories there. So I came back to Oklahoma with a determination to share this with as many people as I could, and I absolutely was sharing it with everybody. And so my business grew very quickly. I started making a very nice income, and I was able to take ten inches off my waistline. So I was hooked, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

>> That is so cool. And the first time I met you, I was walking past you explaining to somebody how simple the comp plan is, is that once you put someone in your left and someone in your right, it’s like zipping or sewing the pockets closed in your pants, and you get to collect change, and you get paid out that way. And if you don’t have someone on your left and someone on your right, [inaudible], then of course the change goes through the pocket and to the floor, you lose it. And so you were, you kind of became known as pockets Pam.

And that’s, I met you just a couple of years ago, two and a half years ago when you were sharing that, and I thought that was brilliant. So now I know that your organization has grown leaps and bounds, obviously, Four Star Golden Circle, hello. And I know that you have some of those guests on the line with us tonight. And it looks like we’ve got about fifteen minutes left, and we have four guests. So if each of you will just take just a few minutes, kind of sum up your stories, and how Isagenix has impacted all of you, then Pam I’ll turn the time over to you to introduce your three guests.

>> Okay, great. Well the first one I want to introduce is Kathleen. When people say no, just like me, don’t believe them. Kathleen came into my office, and she was here multiple times to do something else, and she’s gonna share that with you, before she finally said yes. So her answer was she was not interested. So Kathleen?

>> Well I wasn’t the healthiest child, but my health wasn’t terrible either. Now before we get started, I know about compliance, don’t freak. I make no medical claims. But this is my story, and how it began. It wasn’t till I hit my late twenties that things started piling up, strep infections, UTIs, [inaudible], breast cancer knocked me out at age thirty-six. After that I had undiagnosed tick-borne disease that knocked me down for another year, a series of rabies shots after a ferret bite, yes I am a lucky woman. A life-threatening cellulites, a bout of hepatitis A, did I tell you I was lucky? And my immune system is really shattered by all of this. Well I wasn’t down yet, but menopause came along and really knocked me into a spiral. I got depressed, my body rebelled, I put on lots of pounds, lots of them. I felt terrible. My doctor started talking about giving meds for all my new found physical problems, and yet they couldn’t really figure out what was wrong with me, and all I knew is I felt like I was dying.

In desperation, my husband signed me up for a personal training program at great expense. I pushed through a grueling two hour, five day a week regime that left me sore, exhausted. And after six weeks my result was totally depressing. I lost eight pounds and four inches. I quit. I resigned myself to becoming a fat old woman, stayed home and cried, and ate. And at a hundred and seventy eight pounds I began having more health challenges, and that’s when I found Isagenix.

Started coming into the platinum wellness center for a modality they offered that helped with detoxifying the body, and it seemed to help. And the second time I came in, Pam tried to tell me about Isagenix, and I didn’t want to hear it. I’d had my share of health [inaudible] and what I called neutroceuticals. And I let her know in no uncertain terms I was not interested, period, adverb, no thank you. I did come in for my detox treatments though, and after six weeks I realized I was watching people change right before my very eyes. Big changes. Body, energy, personality change. And you know what? I woke up and paid attention.

And at week six I remember saying to Pam okay girl, I do not know exactly what you’re doing here, but I do need to know about it. So tell me. I’m gonna listen. And she explained to me the concept of cellular cleansing, and nourishing the body as it cleanses, to allow it to become the miracle it’s supposed to be. I bought a nine day, I lost eleven pounds in nine days, but that wasn’t even it. The best part was how I felt. My energy level, like everybody else’s, went out the roof, and for the first time in years I had hope. Do this.

[ cross talk - inaudible ]

>> Go ahead.

>> And forty pounds later I got my waist back, I too Pam lost ten inches off my waist. I got enough energy to take up kickboxing, and I’ve got a new way of looking at life. And then she took me to the top achievers, and I didn’t catch up with her. She did it in three weeks, it took me three months to make Crystal Executive. But now each new day is just that, a new day. A new day worth living, and I tell you what, I am loving living.

>> Is that exciting Kirstie, or what? This girl is so [inaudible] it’s ridiculous. I want to quickly introduce you now to my newest person that we’ve been working with, and I believe he’s on the line. And we call him lovingly, Slim. And I would like for Slim to come on and share his quick story with us. Slim, are you there?

>> I’m here. Can you hear me?

>> Uh-huh.

>> Okay. Well -

>> Share with us what’s happened to you.

>> Do what?

>> Share with us what happened to you.

>> Okay. Well I’ve tried every diet, my mom seen a diet on channel nine news, and she asked me if I wanted to try it. I said might as well, I tried everything else. And she went and got it, brung it home, I started it the next day. I’ve been on the diet since March 23rd, I’ve lost ninety-seven pounds, and sixty-eight total inches. I started out five hundred fourteen total inches, and I’m down to four hundred and forty six inches now, and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Cause I’ve been big my whole life, and I’m starting to get little now, and I really like it.

>> Well you know, that’s, it’s so stunning. I don’t know if everybody really heard what he said, but he’s down ninety-seven pounds.

>> Ninety-seven pounds, you know, in just a little over two months. That is just very cool. And hence the nickname Slim, I love it.

[ cross talk ]

>> Congratulations.

>> And I’ve got one person I want to get on the line now. And this lady has a different story to share, because nobody really told her about Isagenix, and I want her to share. This is Becky, and she’s just growing by leaps and bounds.

>> I actually clean houses. And one of the ladies that I clean for, I talked to her husband, and he told me about Isagenix a little bit, not really but he said she was on this stuff, and she lost sixty pounds in you know, four months, and I was interested in doing it. And I had heard about it. I mean she had told, he had told me about it, and then right after that like, I knew that she hadn’t gained the weight back, so it was about nine months before I felt like I could afford to do it, whenever I finally figured out that I was spending the same amount on fast food that I would be to be doing a diet. So, but I figured out that in the long run, I’ve been doing this about you know, three months now.

The first few months I lost about twenty-four pounds, and I found out that it’s not really necessarily a diet, it’s a way of life. And so I’m very excited about it, and I’m very excited about trying to share it with everybody that I come in contact with. And so I think, what’d you say earlier, I have fourteen people that I’ve personally enrolled so far, and twenty-four people in my downline.

>> Twenty-six people in her downline. She’s doing it all on her own, she’s got no, nobody’s been helping her with it. I mean I help her, but she’s not personally enrolled by me. And so she’s been doing fantastic. And I want to report also that Kathleen, bless her heart, she doesn’t even know how great a job she’s doing. Kjersti, this woman has got over 70% of her personally enrolled on auto ship.

>> Wow.

>> 70% on auto ship. So my group is fantastic. And I want you to know that people don’t understand when they say no, they don’t mean no. They mean they don’t know enough yet. And I want to say that my no turned into I know. And that’s what I want to share with everybody, that this is the company that you’re looking for. If you’re new and you’re just thinking about it, please don’t wait for three years like I did. I’ve changed so many people’s lives because of me changing my life. And these people that have been on this phone call tonight with us, they’re all changed lives. And that’s what we’re all about. So thank you Kjersti, for inviting us on.

>> Oh my goodness. Well thank you so much Pam, for being with us tonight, and inviting on your three amazing guests, Kathleen, Slim, and Becky. And I want to introduce to everybody one more guest on the line. And he is an amazing man, his name is Mike Waley [assumed spelling]. And if you have been to the Isobody Challenge website, which is isobodychallenge.com, you can actually view a video of all of last year’s 2008 Isobody Challenge winners. Mike Waley is one of our Isobody Challenge winners. We are so proud of him, all that he’s been able to accomplish. He took first place in his age group, which was men’s forty to fifty-nine. And he lost a substantial amount of weight, and I can’t wait for him to share. So Mike, did you make it on the line.

>> Hello there, how are you?

>> I’m doing good.

>> Great, thank you. Congratulations on that ninety-seven pound loss, that’s incredible. [inaudible] all over again. As you said, I was actually the Isobody Challenge winner in my age category last year. But I couldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for meeting Mark Masey [assumed spelling]. He was the Isobody Challenge 2007 winner. And he’s the one that got me into the program, showed me what it could do. And of course I was skeptical. I had all the same stories as everybody else. I’d tried everything, I’d pretty well given up, my doctor had given up. The last two years he told me that I was dying, and there was nothing he could do for me other than surgery, which I wasn’t going to do.

And fortunately, Mark came along at the right time, he was introduced to me by a friend of mine that had met him a few times. And Mark and I talked, I ordered the product in December 28th I believe, got it on the sixth of January. Started, two days I’d lost ten pounds, I was feeling great. Four days, I’d lost twenty-five pounds. It was just going amazingly well. And the fourth morning when I’d lost that weight, I’d always wake up, every morning when I woke up I was stiff, I was sore, my legs or my back hurt. And I sat on the edge of the bed wondering how I was gonna get up without hurting this time, and what I was gonna have to take to make me feel better for today. And I stuck. And from that moment on, I haven’t been in pain, or my discomfort in my knees and my joints and everything was incredible. My life just kept getting better, more energy constantly.

So by the end of the first month I’d lost fifty-four pounds, and it just kept going and going and going. In three months I was down a hundred pounds. And by the Isobody Challenge was I believe June the 15th, I was down a hundred and thirty eight pounds when that contest was over. And I switched over to the health and wellness at that time. So I believe it was August the 2nd or third when we went to Vegas. By that time I was down another seventeen pounds on the health and wellness. So I was down a hundred and fifty by the challenge. And I just kept on that health and wellness afterwards, and I was down a hundred and sixty five in September, and I’ve maintained it since then. So I was down a hundred and sixty-five pounds, and a hundred and fifty-five inches.

>> Wow. Congratulations Mike, that’s amazing. And so just for everybody that’s listening in, he was talking about the health and wellness, it’s a total health and wellness, it’s a pack that you can get. But also, you know Mike, when you were on your way to losing all of these pounds, all of these inches, were you doing the thirty day program? Is that what you were using?

>> Yes, I was using the thirty day program, but Mark suggested actually getting an extra bottle of cleanse each time, so I was doubling up on the, I cleansed two days every week. I always did Saturdays and Sundays every week throughout the entire thing, until the contest June the 15th. And actually I thought I was down to the point where I wanted to be anyway, but apparently I wasn’t. So.

[ laughter ]

>> Well you look so amazing. I haven’t seen you since the event. I saw you in August, and I know that you got to you know, meet my dad and there was a group of you that were visiting, and so forth. And I just think it’s an amazing story. And so how are you feeling? I mean what’s the difference between you know, a hundred and sixty-five pounds before, versus now? I mean what other things have changed in your life?

>> Just able to do everything that I’ve always, I’m an outdoor fanatic. I mean the wilderness, I’m thinking hunting, fishing, that type of thing all the time. So I can do these things without wondering if I’m capable. And a lot of times I do this stuff by myself, so I don’t have to rely on anybody else. I’m totally, totally capable of continuing on my life the way I had planned many, many years ago. And the way I used to be able to do things. My weight I’ve gained on the last five or six years, through a few things that happened in my life. But before that I was pretty well off, and since then I’ve been able to regain my life and continue on. And it’s been fantastic. I’m very thankful for what Isagenix has been able to do for me. It’s just incredible.

>> Oh my goodness. Well congratulations again. I know that it’s you know, it’s been over a year now since your journey has began, and you are a total inspiration, just as all of the other guests are on the line tonight. So thanks to Mike for being with us. All right. Well I just want to just close the call out, and again congratulate and thank all of our guests for being on tonight. Pam and Kathleen, and Slim and Becky, and of course Mike. What amazing stories. And what I love about it is that there’s something that runs from the beginning to the end with every single one of your guests, and that is your skepticism. You guys were hardcore skeptics when you were told about Isagenix. And I think that that really gives us a very strong message, that you know, everybody that’s on the line that’s out there, that’s building Isagenix.

You know, I was talking to David Wood, our chief training officer in Isagenix, and he was talking about fear, and overcoming the fear of talking to people, and that guaranteed, just as Pam said, there are people out there that are absolutely dreaming, wishing, praying for something like this to come alone. And so that when you do come across those individuals, for them to be skeptics, I love that. I embrace the skepticism, and all’s they have to do is try it, and a miracle, miraculous things start to happen. So again thank you for being with us, you guys are amazing guests. And I also want to invite everybody to stay on the line. In about four minutes we’re gonna be starting our Tuesday night corporate update call. And tonight with us is the Coovers, Jim and Kathy Coover.

We’re so excited. I always am tickled to have them on the line with us, as we only get them on about once a month now. So they’ve got a lot of news to cover. So I’m going to go ahead and finish out this call, and then of course we’ll get started here in just a few minutes on the corporate update call. And one last reminder here is this call has been recorded, and it will be posted in your back office in the online library so that you can reference to it at a later time. All right everybody, thanks for being with us. We’ll go ahead and get started on our next call. Here we go.
