Our revered Co-Founder Mr. Dennis Wong set the tone for the event by sharing his life story – accompanied by a family photo album. There was barely a dry eye in the house as he shared what it was like to grow up in a family of poverty, alcoholism and cultural isolation. By the end of the story, everyone felt a rush of emotions. The vulnerability, the transparency, and the openness of Mr. Dennis Wong enabled the IRs in the audience to connect with one another on a personable level – the foundation of how we do business here at YOR Health.

Our Scientific Advisory Board then came on stage and unveiled YOR Health’s ultimate weapon – a new product line based on YOR NDS™, our patented nutrition delivery system that is proven to improve health. The excitement in the IR force was palpable as the doctors explained and unveiled YOR Digest Ultra™, YOR Fiber Plus™, and YOR Probiotic Ultra™, with the promise of even more to come! It quickly became clear to the IRs that YOR Health truly is on the leading edge of nutrition technology, and that our aim is to make it easier for anyone to have perfect nutrition.

Then LA County Sheriff Leroy (Lee) Baca took the stage. With 45 years of service, and 13 success-filled years as the elected top officer of the largest law enforcement department in the world, he is a proven leader. He spoke peacefully and eloquently on what it takes to be a modern leader. How to live simultaneous lives of health, intelligence, and service. He is at the top of his game, and is redefining what a 70-year-old person can do – and he is leading by example. We honestly didn’t know what he would say before he stepped on stage, but it was perfect.

Harvard Business School Ph.D and University of Illinois Professor, Dr. Charles King, came on and jolted everyone out of their comfort zone by stressing how dire our economy is. He called this the Age of Uncertainty – an era where the future of the American and World market is precariously on the decline. But just like the light at the end of the tunnel, Dr. King expressed how AMAZED he was with YOR Health’s phenomenal growth and strategic market positioning.

After a day filled with hard-hitting facts and inspiring videos and testimonies, it was time to rent out the hottest nightclub in Las Vegas and party YOR Health style at Las Vegas’ exclusive TAO Nightclub. The energy in the club was “off the hook” – reps were dancing, laughing, taking photos and meeting new friends. What the attendees DIDN’T know is that Mr. Dennis Wong had invited several of our manufacturers to the club that night. Our manufacturers witnessed firsthand what makes YOR Health such a special company: they saw a group of purpose-driven people who know how to relate to each other (and how to have FUN)! The manufacturers were stunned. They’d NEVER seen anything like our group – and they are more enthusiastic than ever about working with us to build a future together. Kudos to the ENTIRE rep force for showing what we are made of – even when we don’t know that someone’s watching. That’s called integrity.

Day 2 of the conference began with Direct Selling Association VP Amy Robinson presenting Co-Founder Dennis Wong with YOR Health’s Certificate of Acceptance into the DSA. This was a moment of great pride for Dennis on behalf of all of the reps and all of the corporate staff, because it is the culmination of years of hard work, ethical operations, and tremendous growth with virtually NO complaints in the market. Dr. King came on again to say that our accomplishment was remarkable, because it is very rare that a company can grow so quickly and yet operate in such an honorable way, saying that it couldn’t have happened without the support of a strong office team.

After more excellent training by Dr. King on how to run our independent rep businesses, we were treated to a special surprise appearance from radio talk show host Argelia Atilano. Argelia is co-host of the wildly popular “El Show de la Mañana con Omar y Argelia” with her husband, Omar Velasco, on KLVE 107.5 FM. In September, Argelia’s show ranked as the No. 1 morning program in Los Angeles regardless of language, beating KIIS FM’s “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.” The often-unseen radio host graced our stage with her stunning beauty and dazzling charm to share her incredible experiences with YOR Health and how the YOR Health product line has changed her life for the better.

Royal Blue Diamond (and #1 growth leader) Paco Hernandez led an amazing session on how to make your business take off (hint: simpler is better). And to cap off the amazing new products and tools each rep got during the conference, White Diamond Michael Mo unveiled our new corporate presentation video, “The Solution”, which received a standing ovation! He showed us how to use this video to simplify and shorten our presentations and accelerate our businesses.

Mr. Dennis Wong closed out the conference by acknowledging all the new promotions in the company, with the Diamond-and-above promotions getting to appear on stage with Dennis and Michael. Top acknowledgement of the weekend went to Mexico leaders Azya Gutierrez and Cus Fragoso, now White Diamond level alongside Michael Mo.

So that’s what happened at the conference. What were the results after this 2-day conference?

The first result was qualitative. Each and every independent rep, whether brand new or already a top earner, came away from the event on a tremendous emotional buzz. You could feel the electricity in the air as people gathered afterward to pick up their first packages of the new NDS products, or to gather a last few signatures and photos with the company’s leaders. Teams held org meetings and team members cried happy tears. No one wanted to leave. Together we had found a place of shared vision and values and hope. We had proved to ourselves that this is the best company and opportunity in the world, and no one wanted the magical moment to end.

The second result was quantitative. In the 5 days after the conference, and while 150 of the top reps in the company were away in Yosemite talking with Mr. Dennis Wong about leadership, their downlines stepped up and made sales that were 45% above the same week last year. In the following week after the leaders came back to their home countries, the company shattered all previous 1-week sales records, growing to 103% over the same week last year!

As they say, numbers don’t lie… and a growth of over 100% vs. last year while the rest of the economy is in such terrible shape? That just proves that YOR Health truly IS “The Solution” for tough times.

[The company would like to acknowledge the Blue Diamond+ leaders for making the Annual Conference 2011 a smashing success. We packed the room at the Phantom Theater with 30% more attendees than the Company expected – many of those attendees being a part of the last-minute rush of promotion activity by the Blue Diamond leadership. The Company will benefit from this event for years to come.]
