We celebrated the Taiwan office opening with over 500 distributors who eagerly anticipated the arrival. We were joined by 500K Anton Garrity, 200K Dwayne Dyer and local leaders including 100K Kathryn Chen and others. Our local management team put forth an incredible effort to prepare for this opening. In fact, the head of the Taiwan DSA (who has been an employee with some of the largest direct selling firms in Taiwan) was at the opening and commented that he has never experienced such an impressive office opening in all of his years in the industry! Since that opening, our staff has supported an aggressive slate of distributor meetings all over the country during the month of April. That evening, Aaron and I participated in a city meeting in our office and hosted about 150 of the local distributors. The event has resulted in a tremendous carry-over affect on our Taiwan market as sales during the month of April were up over March 15 percent just two days ago.
On March 31, we hosted about 60 people for a 20K and above recognition dinner in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Tai Tolman (Malaysia’s General Manager), Craig Hale, Nate Brown and I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with our leaders and hear the impressive things they have accomplished in the short year since we have been officially open in Malaysia. On April 1, we had a 1K and above reception prior to a city meeting in Kuala Lumpur. It gave us a chance to meet and have pictures taken with about 200 of our leaders in Malaysia. The excitement at the city meeting with about 500 people in attendance was incredible. The professionalism and leadership of our leaders in Malaysia are big reasons why Malaysia has been one of our most successful markets at helping new distributors reach 1K during the last year, averaging over 100 new 1Ks each month!
