Roger Barnett, Shaklee Owner, in Atlanta

Roger Barnett, owner of Shaklee Corporation, came to Atlanta on February 23rd, on the Next Generation Tour. This made his 4th city in as many days but you couldn't tell it. He told his story and how he ended up buying Shaklee for $310 million in 2004. He spent $20 million and took 5 years to have various industries and companies analyzed. He had 6 criteria for selecting a company to purchase and was told that he would be lucky to find a company that met 2 of those.

1. Leader in the industry
2. In the forefront of major trends for the next 20 years
3. Company was sustainable and real
4. Company that has deep values
5. Has products that impact people's lives
6. Has a revolutionary business model to create financial success and make the world a better place.

And, as Roger told us, the Shaklee Corporation met all 6 criteria.

Something is good for you or good for the planet.

Dr. Jamie McManus followed Roger to the stage and spoke about our newest products and especially, about the Landmark Study regarding the health of long-term Shaklee food supplement users versus those who used other brands of vitamins or no vitamins. You can view the study information at www.landmarkstudy.com. We also learned that our newest nutrition product, Vitalizer, now has 14 patents with many of those being on the delivery system that works to make sure the right nutrients are delivered to the right spot in the digestive tract for optimal absorbtion.
