Preferred Customer Qualification Change

Currently, in order to qualify to become a Preferred Customer, a customer must make an initial purchase of either $100 or $50 and a $50 auto-ship.

Starting January 1st, 2008, the qualifications to become a Preferred Customer are changing to require an accumulated minimum product purchase amount of $300 and an enrolment in the auto-ship program for a minimum of $50.

Once a customer has reached the $300 product purchase amount (and this can be achieved over a period of time), the customer contacts Nouvelle’s Customer Service at 702-617-7885 to sign up as a Preferred Customer. At that time, the customer will be asked to sign up and maintain a minimum auto-ship of $50. This new auto-ship is a requirement for Preferred Customer status and cancellation of the auto-ship voids Preferred Customer status.

Current Preferred Customers and Preferred Customers signed up between now and December 31st, will be “grandfathered” in the system and not required to fulfil the above requirements to be qualified.

Preferred Customer Discount Rate Change

Nearly a year ago we adjusted the discount rate for Preferred Customers in order to create a more appropriate difference between Distributors and Preferred Customers. It was our intention at that time to make the discount fall evenly between the retail price and the Distributors discount, but decided to implement the change in a two step process to lessen its impact on our loyal customers. Now the time has come to initiate that final change and reduce the discount rate one more time.

Starting January 1st, the Preferred Customer discount will be as follows:

ViTAE Pearls   $68
ViTAE Paste   $68
COMPLETE   $42
ViTAE Sample Kit   $24
V-Cal   $28
Max Pack   $125
BLOCK   $36
META   $80
CLA+   $30
PRiME   $81
PRiME Trial Size   $19
Fitness Pack   $135

A Message from our President Dr. Les Griffith
This past month I had the opportunity to attend the Supply Side Trade Show in Las Vegas and it turned out to be not only an eye-opening revelation but another turning point for Nouvelle. Supply Side is a unique gathering of those companies that supply product, manufacturing, equipment, and just about everything else that a business such as ours needs. I had the most pleasurable opportunity to meet with and discuss business with the owner and Chief Executive Officer of the largest farm that raises Hoodia in South Africa—Innovation Africa. Innovation Africa is the largest supplier of Hoodia to markets in the world. They provide testing for their Hoodia using the same independent lab that we have been using, Alkemists, and provide the only standardized Hoodia available in today’s market. After doing our due-diligence on them, switching Hoodia providers was clearly the right thing to do. Also at the same meeting, I had the opportunity to meet with ProTec Laboratory, one of the nation’s most outstanding nutritional manufacturing companies. Fully FDA and GMP compliant they have one of the best Quality Assurance programs in place that I have ever seen. With the capability of running over 7 million capsules per 8 hour shift, it is a company that we won’t outgrow and who, in fact, will help us get to where we need to be.

Training and Development: The Holidays and Training

‘Tis the season to be eating…eating…eating and by January 2nd when you step on the scale you may shriek with alarm. No matter what you do throughout the year, when the holidays arrive it seems to always be time to go unconscious and eat whatever is served.

There are ways to avoid this unnecessary behavior pattern. Remember you have a new secret weapon to protect you against the holiday “Eat-a-thon.” PRiME!

PRiME is your best friend for the holidays.

As a matter of fact, this is the most important time to remember your PRiME. You might even want to send out a reminder to your downline encouraging them to give PRiME as a gift and as a subtle reminder to take it themselves every festive morning. A conference call could also support those who want to maintain their PRiME bodies throughout the holiday season.

I have just recently achieved what Dr. Les calls our PRiME Goal: I can now zip up, sit and stand in my skinny jeans! That is something to celebrate and share! I was on a flight from Amsterdam to Chicago, and I was talking to a flight attendant and she was sharing how difficult it is for her to maintain her weight with all the travel. I said, “I have found the gift of the Magi that has helped me shed 10 pounds!” She asked if I could send her information and I replied, “With pleasure!”

Remember, there will always be at least one person in every environment who wants to shed 10 pounds. All you have to do is smile, share, and open up the possibility for them to try something new…it might be just the solution they are searching for to an old unwanted problem. I ask people, “Would you be interested in having 10 pounds vanish from your life?” When their eyes widen, I say, “How soon do you want it?” If they say they can’t afford it, I say, “You will be cutting your grocery bill in half. It is a reallocation of funds!” I invite their objections because it is so much fun watching them open up to a new possibility…

As a special Holiday gift for you, we are offering you The Twelve Days of Christmas Training. Call 800-321-6342, ask for Kevin and request your The Twelve Days of Christmas gift. You will receive the Virtual Training modules to support you and your team for 12 consecutive days.

NouvelleHEALTH Product Testimonials: Cathy Griffith from Las Vegas

I'm a registered nurse at a hospital in Las Vegas and anyone who has worked in this business knows there's always a lot of snack food around. Lots of cookies, donuts, and chips.

This picture of me at Christmas made me realize I was overweight. I saw that picture and thought “Who is that?”—it was startling to see my shape. I thought that's it, that's unbelievable, I need to do something about this. It was at this time that Dr. Griffith had created PRiME. So I started on it, and saw results right away, 6-8 pounds came off in the first week...I just forgot to eat! On PRiME you don't feel deprived, you don't feel hungry. I'm so amazed with this product. People that I've started on the product come up to me and tell me how happy they are with it and that is a really nice feeling.

What's funny is I still see all those snack foods around, but now I'm not constantly thinking about them. I watch other people around me struggling while I'm just not interested. I eat when I'm hungry and really don't worry about what I'm eating.

The Company: Financial Year in Review

2007 – What a great year! The NouvelleHEALTH sales team has met and even exceeded our sales targets for each month in 2007. The total yearly sales volume for the company will be about 240% above the 2006 sales volume. This amazing growth is a direct result of our outstanding Distributors and our wonderful products.

A major part of the success story for this year is how strong the sales have continued through November and early December. These are traditionally slow periods for sales yet, even though our growth rate has slowed a little from prior months, NouvelleHEALTH has continued to meet the targets we set for November and up to the time of this article in December.

NouvelleHEALTH has had a compelling story up to this point. It’s required unique and quality product development by Dr. Griffith and the perseverance to keep the company going during the startup and develop time when so many companies give up and fold. It illustrates Dr. Griffith’s tenacity, but also shows that the NouvelleHEALTH products are effective health related products. The fact that the growth rate is so outstanding and those purchasing products continue to do so each month as well as bring others into the NouvelleHEALTH team is solid evidence that the products work.

As with most young companies there have been some growing pains. Problems are sometimes encountered and solutions found. The exciting part about 2007 is that we found opportunities for improvement in some of those problems making us well positioned for 2008.

We now have a new manufacturer with superior quality control procedures with recognized certifications of the product content and quality. We have moved the distribution to shorten the shipping and distribution time to most customers. We transferred to a new IT provider that will improve our data processing. And at the end of November we relocated to new office space that will allow for better and more efficient company management, customer service, and Distributor service.

All in all, 2007 has been a great year with considerable positive change and growth. We have appreciated the enthusiasm and patience of everyone and feel strongly that we are in a much better position to serve the needs of customers, Distributors, and investors to work together for an extremely successful 2008.

Distributor's Corner: PRiME Label Enhanced!

As you’ve heard, we recently changed manufacturers and with that took the opportunity to enhance the PRiME label and give us some bragging rights. Though essentially the same label, we’ve now added certificates that show PRiME is:
• cGMP Certified (“current Good Manufacturing Practices” regulated by the FDA),
• Alkemists Tested (internationally recognized independent testing laboratory), and
• CITES Certified (this certification ensures that the plant content, specifically Hoodia, is obtained legally).
Additionally, through our manufacturer, we are able to provide Hoodia that is standardized to 0.2% P57 (the active ingredient in Hoodia). We even think the purple looks better!

This Month’s Product Feature: COMPLETE

Why do we take vitamin and mineral supplements? Taking supplements can actually help healthy people for a number of reasons. There is the obvious reason that they can help prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies when the diet is not adequate to provide all the necessary nutrients. But they can also provide amounts of nutrients larger than what normal food intake provides for when needs are temporarily increased. Larger amounts of some nutrients may help overcome some threats and help protect against others.

People may consume foods that are deficient in one or more nutrients for a variety of reasons. The typical Western diet often supplies less than adequate amounts of several essential vitamins and minerals. And that does not take into account the fact that greater and greater numbers of people are turning to fast foods for more and more. It’s almost become a cliché to say that fast food is notoriously high in fat and low in nutrients. Recent surveys in the U.S. have found large numbers of people consume too little calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese.

People who are trying to lose weight, vegetarians, and people with special diets such as macrobiotics can place themselves at risk of deficiencies that vary with each type of diet. Certain groups of people applying these special diets are at especially high risk of dietary deficiencies. Studies have found that elderly people living in their own homes often have dietary deficiencies of vitamin A and vitamin E, as well as vitamin D, along with calcium, zinc, and vitamins B1 and B2. Women are commonly found to have low amounts of vitamin A, C, and D, as well as calcium and iron.

So, whether you take vitamin supplements to help you maintain your healthy status or for a deficiency in your diet that you know about—or perhaps more importantly; a deficiency you don’t know about.

COMPLETE contains all the vitamin supplements you’ll need, such as Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body making up about 2% of the total body weight. Everyone knows it builds and maintains bone and teeth but it’s also extremely important in the body’s enzyme activity and for the contraction of muscles, release of neurotransmitters, regulation of heart beat and the clotting of blood. Magnesium is second only to Potassium in terms of concentration in the body and its primary function is enzyme activation as well as playing a critical role in energy production. Iron is critical to human life and plays a central role in our red blood cells ability to carry oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away from cells. Iron is also key in several enzymes that have to do with energy production. Zinc is in every cell in the body and is a key component in over 200 enzymes…more than any other mineral. It’s necessary for the proper action of body hormones such as thymic (immune system), insulin, growth hormone, and sex hormones. Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in several key enzymatic functions and is the third most abundant trace mineral in the body with the highest concentration per gram of tissue being in the brain. Manganese is involved in growth and repair of bones and joints as well as fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin A helps in growth and repair mechanisms and is critical to normal immune function and to functions of the eyes. Vitamin C is the most popular vitamin supplement in the United States and probably the most controversial. It’s critical in immune function, repair and healing mechanisms, and for normal function of cartilage and tendons. Vitamin E protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and so is important to normal nerve, muscle, and cellular function. Vitamin D is by definition both a hormone and a vitamin and is critical for normal immune function particularly certain anticancer activities. Vitamin B1 is essential for energy production, carbohydrate metabolism, and nerve cell function. Vitamin B2 is crucial in the production of energy and in regenerating one of the body’s critical antioxidants. And that’s just 12 of the 49 vitamins and minerals in COMPLETE. Nouvelle COMPLETE is peace of mind in a bottle!
