Exciting news - Stemtech has earned the position of 1484 on the 2010 Inc. 5000, Inc.’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing companies in America. With over 27 million companies in the country, the ranking underscores Stemtech’s successful dominance of the emerging stem cell nutrition category, which it first pioneered in 2005.

“Our fast growth can be attributed mainly to the market acceptance and efficacy of our patented stem cell nutrition products,” said Stemtech’s President & CEO, Ray Carter. “They do something very different from other nutritional supplements on the market. Rather than simply nourishing existing cells, they support the natural release and movement of adult stem cells – the ‘master’ cells produced by your bone marrow. A growing body of published scientific data shows that a greater number of circulating adult stem cells equates to better overall wellness. Everyone from baby boomers to professional athletes has shown great interest in our novel products.”

Another factor to which Carter attributes Stemtech’s fast growth is the business model chosen by the company. “Instead of selling our products through retail stores, we have chosen to distribute them via network marketing, a specialized subcategory of direct selling. History has shown this to be an effective approach for new concepts like ours where some basic consumer education is needed. It has also allowed us to expand rapidly worldwide, as we now have subsidiaries in 14 countries on six continents.”

Beginning August 1st, Stemtech Distributors around the world will have THREE exciting new global pools to enhance income potential: the FastStart Turbo Pool, the New Director Pacesetter Pool and the Incentive Contest Pool. These pools replace the five levels of upline Director overrides previously paid on the sale of FastStart Packs.

Designed to attract new business builders and spur ongoing growth and momentum, these Pools encourage you and your new distributors to:

• Focus on the right business-building activities needed for growth, and
• Structure your organization to ensure ongoing success.

Here are the details:

1. FastStart Turbo Pool

Similar in concept to the wildly popular “Weekly Turbo FastStart Bonus” pre-Convention incentive, the FastStart Turbo Pool puts extra money in your pocket when you excel at bringing on new distributors and helping them get started the right way. But this FastStart Turbo Pool is easier, because the qualifications are monthly, not weekly. 10% of total BV of all FastStart Packs sold globally during the calendar month goes into the Pool for that month. If you qualify for a Pool SHARE, you'll receive your Pool payment at the same time as monthly commissions.

To qualify:

• You earn one share of the pool for every 5 new distributors you personally enroll during the calendar month with a FastStart or Leadership Pack.
• Enroll ten and you double your share; enroll fifteen and it's tripled… and so on!
• Requirement:You (the enroller) must be active on AutoShip.

Enroll 5 new Business Builders and earn a share of this Pool. Then help those five Business Builders to earn a share too. Imagine how your group can grow as you all focus on finding 5 or more new Business Builders each month!

2. New Director Pacesetter Pool … and Enroller's 50% Match

New distributors can cash in with the Pacesetter Pool when they achieve Director quickly with a correctly structured organization. But that's not all … The Pacesetter also rewards the Enroller who helps them get there! The New Director Pacesetter Pool consists of 12.5% of total BV of all FastStart Packs sold globally during the calendar month. It is paid out monthly, at the same time as monthly commissions.

The maximum monthly payout is $3,000 per share (in other words, qualifying new Directors earn up to $3000 each, and Enrollers earn up to $1500 per new qualifying Director). Any unpaid excess is carried forward indefinitely until paid out, to help fund future months' New Director Pacesetter Pools.

To qualify for one share of the New Director Pacesetter Pool (to a maximum of $3000):

• Enroll as a Business Builder (FastStart Pack or Leadership Pack, plus AutoShip)
• Qualify as a Director (100PPV, 5000 GPV) by the end of your first full calendar month after you enroll. (Example: If you enroll during August, you have until the end of September to qualify).
• Have the following organizational structure
• At least 5 personally enrolled Business Builders
• At least 10 customers and/or distributors with AutoShip PPV in your organization (includes your personally enrolled Business Builders with AutoShip PPV)
• Remain fully qualified as a Director the following calendar month

To qualify for the Enroller's 50% Matching Bonus:

• You earn a half-share of the pool (50% matching bonus), up to a maximum of $1,500 per half-share, every time one of your personally enrolled distributors qualifies for a share of the New Director Pacesetter Pool.
• To be eligible for this bonus, you need to have AutoShip PPV for the month.

Enrollers who work closely with their new Business Builders to develop a solid organization now earn a piece of the action. What a win-win situation for everyone!

3. Incentive Contest Pool

This pool will fund all sorts of fun incentive contests that support continued growth and productivity in the field. The Incentive Contest Pool consists of 2.5% of total BV of all FastStart Packs sold globally during the calendar month. It accrues monthly and is applied to various incentive contests held during the year. Any balance that is not used up is carried forward to help bolster the pool in future months. The entire pool is paid out at least once each year. Nothing like a good incentive contest to liven things up and get your group going … be sure to stay tuned for contest announcements in future months!

The May edition of American Executive Magazine contains an awesome four-page feature article about STEMTech. Entitled “The Future of Wellness”, the article is beautifully written and includes several eye-catching photos, making it a “must-have” prospecting/credibility tool.

STEMTech has managed to get a limited supply of article reprints from the publisher. They will be available for order this week in your Back Office or by calling Distributor Services during business hours.

There will also be a small supply available for sale during President & CEO Ray Carter's upcoming 2nd Quarter Tour (check out the calendar on the Events page).

In case you missed it in our previous announcements about the Bonus Incentives (see below), all weekly FastStart and Turbo Bonuses earned through July 31st will be paid out one week sooner than usual. You will be able to track the new Turbo Bonuses in your Back Office beginning next week.

Important: To earn bonuses, payment for orders on which they are earned needs to clear prior to the bonuses being calculated. In the case of weekly bonuses, earning periods run Sunday - Saturday and the bonuses are calculated and paid 10 days later, on Tuesday (it used to be 17 days later). Because there is now a week less for the funds to clear before calculating FastStart and Turbo bonuses, it is more important than ever to track your enrollees' orders in Back Office and make sure payment has cleared prior to weekly bonuses being calculated.

USEFUL TIP: Credit cards clear more quickly than automatic bank debits so we suggest you encourage new distributors to use a credit card for their initial order.
