On February 1, 2011, network marketing legend Bo Short announced her decision to join forces with Shaklee Corporation and formed Pinnacle Group to help mentor, train and equip the thousands of independent business owners who would soon join the ranks of Shaklee. Shaklee.
The Pinnacle Group quickly became one of the fastest growing organizations in all of Shaklee, propelling Bo Short to Shaklee’s highest leadership rank of Master Coordinator in just her first 8 days in Shaklee. In fact, 8 of the top 10 new revenue generators at Shaklee last quarter were all members of the Pinnacle Group.
But what is the secret to the success of Bo Short and the Pinnacle Group? How is it that they have generated such an incredible business in record time?
The fact is that Bo Short has been in network marketing for over 20 years. He is an extremely successful speaker and has earned over $40 million throughout his career. Bo’s energy and enthusiasm are electric and his natural charisma draws a crowd wherever he goes.
But it is his professionalism and ability to attract and develop leaders that has helped him break records and establish a strong foundation for the Pinnacle Group at Shaklee. The fact is, even though Bo Short signed up like any normal distributor, he had some advantages that the average distributor doesn’t necessarily share.
Bo came to Shaklee with a team from another company. He had been the founding partner of a company that went out of business in January 2011, so he was able to recruit many of that company’s leaders to Shaklee. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Bo did. In fact, the move to Shaklee was probably the best thing that could have happened to the Pinnacle Group, but the fact is that many of the leaders didn’t start from scratch.
It remains to be seen whether the Pinnacle Group will be able to maintain its long-term momentum, but there is no doubt that the organization has created a buzz and excitement throughout Shaklee.
This new influx of leaders that Shaklee experienced when it joined the Pinnacle Group has had an incredibly positive impact on the company as a whole. As more business partners join the company and the organization, they will be able to connect directly to a training system that will teach them how to accelerate their results and build on the foundation of not only Pinnacle Group, but Shaklee as well.
