The following morning, we met at Applebee’s at 9 a.m. so we could all drive together to manufacturing plant.  This was a very special occasion for us as well as for the manufacturing plant. They have never done tours of their facility; but because of their excitement for us they actually spent quite a bit of money to make some improvements to their building to accommodate the tour.  New windows were built for separation walls so that people can see the production of the products.

There were about 80 Distributors total (33 Emerald Escape qualifiers and the rest were California Distributors that qualified through a contest of their own).  We were split into five groups and by the time third group went in the first group started walking out.  It was exciting to see the looks on their faces.  I was told some people even cried when they saw our MRP labels being placed on the canisters.  I do understand why they were so touched…they were able to witness the creation of the product that, in these past 5 months, has helped so many people change their lives through better nutrition; from dramatic weight loss to having more energy and confidence.

While we were all waiting for the other groups to finish with their tour, I took the opportunity to ask everybody if they had digestive issues before we came out with the enzyme products. Amazingly about 85% of them raised their hand. Almost everybody had some type of digestive issues in one form or another.  Many people started sharing stories and we found that everybody had similar stories of how the new enzyme and digestive support products (YOR Digestive Enzymes, YOR Probiotics, and YOR Repair) have truly helped with their digestive issues.  Some mentioned they could not digest fat, carbs, sugar, or protein and other symptoms ranged from stomach aches and constipation to a lack of desire to eat.  Their excitement and their belief in these products was so gratifying, I felt assured that we made the right choice to make and sell these products.

Also in attendance was Sid Taberlay, my Australian professional cycling friend, who trains with me daily.  Sid happens to be the number 2 mountain cyclist in Australia.  He is ranked top 20 in America and was once ranked top 5 in the World Cup circuit, which is equivalent to the Tour de France of the mountain biking world.  He is normally very quiet but I asked him to tell a story about what our products did for him.  He simply said he was a true skeptic of nutritional products and never used them in his career.  His source of energy when he trained was Pop-Tarts.  Sid weighs roughly 140 pounds, within the first weeks he dropped 6 pounds.  He was amazed that he was at his Olympic training weight and for him to reach that weight previously he had to go through a starvation diet. It was a constant battle of power and weight ratio.  With this product he lost weight but gained power. He did a race in Reno where he came in first on the first day of the race, beating the current champion, and came in third overall after 3 days of hard racing. 

He is now learning to be a distributor; the deal is that he will teach me cycling and we will teach him the business.  After his testimonial, we were called to finish up the tour.

Once we all finished with the tour the Chief Operations Officer, Russell Butcher, met us with enthusiasm saying that we by far have the best product in the market place.  He mentioned that he is aiming to help us put out the best quality products on the planet, Russ gave us his commitment.  We all then left with new found excitement because everybody got a chance to kick the tires of the YOR Health vehicle; it always helps to get a visual.
