| PERSONAL LETTER FROM RICHARD T. COOKE, 1 OF "QUEST" MAGAZINE'S 400 MOST INFLUENTIAL AMERICANS Dennis,
Wendy and I wanted to thank you, Telicia, and your whole team for your graciousness. I have spoken at many events in my life and I have never met a more polite, well mannered, attractive, and energetic group of young people. What you are doing for these young people is very inspiring. Your story of success and your lessons in life have become invaluable as you continue to teach your team. As I have gotten a much better glimpse of you and your organization, I become more impressed with your strategy and your success at training and developing one of the most exciting areas of the market, the youth. In working with young people I have said it was a waste of time until they were at least 30 years old and had personally experienced that life is not always easy. You, through training, support and education, are developing an amazing team of smart, aggressive, and most importantly confident young people who collectively, with your teaching and their teamwork, are overcoming the great deflator of young people - that they lack experience and don’t know what they are talking about. Your focus on weight management is ingenious and as you stated on stage “if you throw a rock you are more than likely going to hit someone who needs your products.” Once you have changed their life through managing their weight, exercising and allowing them to take control, you now have a captive market to educate about the importance of maintaining proper health. Congratulations on your great success, I truly do see you reaching the goal of over a Billion Dollars in sales a year. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know you and hope to be able to call you a friend for life. Have a great week, and keep inspiring. What you are doing with your groups is remarkable. Your friend, |
