New Informed-Choice Logo on Immunocal Boxes

Very soon, when Consultants receive their Immunocal boxes, they will notice a new logo (INFORMED-CHOICE.org Trusted by sport) on the top panel of each box.  

This logo signifies that the world-class anti-doping lab, LGC - Science for a Safer World, with its quality-assurance program, is stating that Immunocal is free of banned substances.
So whether you are a weekend warrior or Olympic Gold Medalist, you can enter your competition with “peace of mind” knowing that Immunocal has been tested by one of the top programs worldwide.

Many natural products are available that claim to help your immune system, but very few have undergone the rigorous testing and published human trials that Immunotec has accomplished over the years. Over forty published scientific and medical articles attest to its remarkable credibility.

Executive Connection with Charlie Orr, CEO, Immunotec

In this month’s Executive Connection, Direct Selling News Publisher and Editor in Chief Lauren Lawley Head speaks with Charlie Orr, CEO of Canada-based Immunotec, about servant leadership, authenticity and being a lifelong learner. 

DSN: What is the one thing you enjoy most about being Immunotec’s CEO?

CO: Being with field consultants and our employee colleagues in all our markets.

DSN: What are the characteristics that make an Immunotec Consultant successful?

CO: While there is no single way to do the business, our top leaders tend to do certain things that lead to success. First, they tell their own unique, inspiring story regularly. Then, they focus on others daily—they’re servant leaders. Related to that, they build a team in order to help others, and they work the business system as a team. They keep it fun and simple so that it’s duplicable and shared every day. They’re genuine. They stay true to who they are. And finally, they’re lifelong learners who are committed to personal and organizational development.

DSN: What do you tell Immunotec Consultants to lead and inspire them?

CO: It starts with the home office team being present with them. There is no substitute for being in the marketplace. When you are in-market, fully engaged and being yourself, listening, having fun with your colleagues, these are the most important things you can do. I’m sure they remember what we say, but our physical and emotional support makes the most impact. There’s no such thing as spending too much time with the field.

DSN: What insight did you bring from your experience as the Executive Director of Direct Selling Education Foundation that has been most useful to you at Immunotec?

CO: I had so many wonderful experiences that it’s impossible to choose just one. When I was in the DSEF I had the privilege of meeting great executives and volunteers from many DSA member companies. Every day I encountered new ideas and insights, from coast to coast and around the world. I saw so many companies and people building their businesses really well, as well as companies working through a rough patch. It was like earning an additional master's degree in terms of understanding our business model and how dynamic and rapidly changing the environment can be when you’re inside a company.

DSN: What do you value most about the direct selling model?

CO: The fact that it’s people centric.

DSN: What is your vision for Immunotec?

CO: For Immunocal® to be the nutritional choice on a worldwide basis.

DSN: Is there one basic principle that governs your leadership at Immunotec?

CO: Everybody is treated fairly, with respect, with love.

DSN: What project or accomplishment do you consider to be the most significant in your career?

CO: I don’t think about what I have done; I think about what we do. When a company gets the partnership and collaboration really working well between home office and field, there’s nothing better that can happen to you in this business model. I see that as a collective accomplishment.

DSN: When you’re not at work, where are you most likely to be found?

CO: With my family.

2014 Incentive Trip - A huge success!

The crew on the Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas® ship did not realize what was happening when more than 600 Immunotec Consultants and their guests boarded on November 17th setting sail for Labadee, Haiti and Ocho Ríos, Jamaica!  The Immunotec Consultant’ fervor and passion were infectious throughout the 5-day cruise!

The trip celebration actually began on Sunday, November 16th when Consultants from Canada, United States, Dominican Republic, Mexico and United Kingdom arrived at the Hyatt Pier 66 and the Hilton Marina Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.  That evening, everyone received a personal invitation from Charlie Orr, CEO, to join the corporate team for a Caribbean Soirée by the pool at Pier 66. Lights, decorations, live music and countless food stations were scattered throughout the grounds. Consultants were greeted by the Immunotec corporate staff with beautiful shell leis placed around their necks. The party had begun! There were plenty of greetings taking place as everyone renewed friendships with fellow Consultants that they had met on previous Conventions and trips. The next morning, everyone was up and ready to breakfast together, then gather for the Business Session. Robert Felton, Chief Operating Officer and Gabriela Moreno, Director General for Mexico hosted the morning where all ranks were introduced; Charlie Orr officially welcomed everyone and shared the ongoing exceptional achievements of our Consultants; Dr. Ricardo García Pelayo shared his impressions of the 2014 BBQ; and three new Platinums, Carmen García Pelayo, María del Carmen Ávila and Joel Martínez were presented their new Immunotec blazers. Then the ship's horn sounded and it was time to gather luggage and proceed to board ship! Once everyone found their cabins, unpacked and explored the vast 12-storey ship, they gathered in the immense dining room for a gourmet dinner, the first of many! Thursday, November 20th A free day for all to go ashore and explore Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  Friday, November 21st Another full day at sea, so it was time to wake up early and join John Molson, for another invigorating fitness hour.Following the fitness hour, everyone was free to enjoy the pool, spa, games such as volleyball, basketball, ping pong, mini-golf, surfing or to simply relax. At 4:00 p.m. the Immunotec Consultants were hosted to an exclusive presentation of “Encore! An Ice Spectacular”.  It was truly remarkable to see what the skating troup of 10 professionals could do on such a small rink. The show was outstanding! But, not to be outdone, at 7:00 p.m., the Consultants gathered, once again, in the Platinum Theatre to watch “Saturday Night Fever – The Musical”, the off Broadway show.  But, the time for disembarking was drawing near, we needed one last party!  At 10:30 p.m., all the Consultants were invited to a Farewell Dessert party that included music and dancing.  Everyone celebrated and enjoyed one last opportunity to share all the fun with each other. Tuesday, November 18th First full day at sea and plenty to do! At 8:00 a.m., Consultants joined John Molson, Vice-President, Research and Development for an invigorating fitness hour. His fitness class was so invigorating that we noticed even other guests from the ship joined in! Not to worry, it was the perfect opportunity for Consultants to share the Immunotec message! That evening the Immunotec Awards Ceremony took place in the ship’s magnificent Platinum Theatre. Thirty-five Consultants were recognized for being the top five achievers for each of the Trip Incentive qualification categories. Wednesday, November 19th A day on the beaches of beautiful Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s private beach on the north coast of Haiti. What would an incentive trip be without the famous “Beach Olympics”.  This year the teams were fiercely competitive: running, pulling, pitching, jumping and (believe it or not) sandcastle building.  The castles that each team built were huge with gardens, moats, patios, and Immunotec logos.  It was an exhausting but fun experience! But not too exhausting for everyone to show up at the ice skating rink in the late afternoon to try out their skating skills. Lead by expert skaters, Dr. Jimmy Gutman, John Molson and Diamond Consultant Normand Robert, many Consultants had never put on a pair of skates in their lives, let alone glide on ice! But, they were keen and persistent and they gratefully used the rink boards (walls) to cling to as they circled the rink.  Special congratulations goes out to Rafael García Pelayo who just would not give up trying to master the art of skating! Rafael actually stayed on the ice for a grueling two hours! Dinner followed and for those who still had some energy left (almost everyone), a 70’s Disco Street Party took place in the Royal Promenade where you could spot the Immunotec Consultants by the glo-jewels that they were wearing.

Saturday, November 22nd Time to disembark, return home. Go on Facebook to revisit the fun through all the pictures posted and then let’s continue to build our businesses… We’ll do this again next year!
