PHOTO GALLERIES

Below are our photo galleries of our recent visits to the various manufacturers, shippers, debit card companies and software suppliers that we have recently visited here in the Salt Lake City - Provo area, network marketing capital of the Universe, also known as the "MLM Silicon Valley" and home of the network marketing billion dollar giants, as we put together what is rapidly becoming the greatest direct selling network marketing company in world history.

Everything that we do here at Pure Hearts International is done first class. In fact, John Lester, CEO, as Frontline Founding Associate of Monavie (formerly known as Monarch Health Sciences), is following the same wise outsourcing playbook of other MLM giamts. We intend to hire the same outsourced back office/data processing/commission processing/replicated-web-site-hosting company that Monavie used, namely, Infotrax (based in Orem, Utah). We intend to hire the same outsourced shipping fulfillment company that some of the largest MLM companies in the world (such as Doterra, Xocai, Exfuse and many more) use, namely, ProStarFulfillment (based in Salt Lake City). We intend to hire the same outsourced commission payment company that Mary Kay uses to have their distributors paid, not by paper check, but by MasterCard debit, namely, ProPay (based in Lehi, Utah; and Pure Hearts International will have its own MasterCard debit electronic distributor payment system as well). We intend to hire the same network marketing attorney that Melaleuca has used, namely, Grimes & Reese (based in Salt Lake City). We intend to hire the same advertising agency that many Utah-based MLM giants have used, namely, Axis41 (based in Salt Lake City). And we already have our own promotional items web store with all of the promotional items that every distributor wants, namely, Pure Hearts International shirts, caps, refrigerator magnets, pens, car signs and the like.

Here are pics of myself and one of my Utah associates, Lawrence, touring one of our likely manufacturing sources on August 31, 2009. We believe this company will be the one to produce our shilajit for us. They excel in herbal-oriented nutritional manufacturing. Click the thumbnail pictures to get a bigger picture to pop up. To wit:

At the plant

This is, from left to right, Lawrence, myself (John Lester) and Randy getting ready to step in to the plant to receive our plant tour.

One of the plant tools

This is one of the plant tools that are used to test the identity and the quality of the herbs being shipped in to the plant from suppliers. Trust but verify. ;)

The top of the previous plant tool.

This is simply a pic of the top of the previously displayed plant tool.

First ever to get THIS hose!

Randy was very proud to tell us that this hose that was attached to the BACK of the previous plant tool was the FIRST hose ever purchased by any company for this type of plant tool. Basically, the purpose of the hose is to do some type of humidifying, as I recall, which reduced the variance in testing results (that is, improved the reliablity of the testing results).

Several plant tools in a row.

This shot is of several plant tools in a row. These several plant tools in a row are all dedicated to testing the identity and the quality of incoming herbs from suppliers around the world.

The herbal extracts center.

This company has over 400+ herbal extracts! You can compare that to Nature's Sunshine, for example, a Utah-based MLM company that has been in business for 30+ years doing business all around the world. Despite its large product line, and despite its longevity, Nature's Sunshine only has about 10 to 12 herbal extracts. Having 400+ herbal extracts, many dozens or hundreds of which were in liquid form in the shelves right behind us, is pretty off the charts. Also, compared to Nature's Sunshine, for example, we were told that these herbal extracts were at least of double the concentration. That's because Nature's Sunshine's extracts, high quality extracts themselves, mind you, are typically in a 1:4 or 1:5 dilution ratio, whereas this company's herbal extracts are all in only 1:2 ratio.

Another pic in front of the herbal extracts.

Just another pic of Lawrence and I standing in front of the 400+ herbal extracts area.

Some kinda contraption. ;)

This is Lawrence and half of me (!) standing in front of some kinda contraption.

Multiple rooms area.

This is a shot of the multiple rooms area. At least that's what I call it. There are different machnes with different human operators in all of these rooms, working, doing the necessary stuff to crank out bottles of nutritional products.

Yet another machine.

This is yet another shot of yet another machine in another room in the multiple room area. That white coat you see in the lower left hand corner is attached to one of the employees.

One of the signs.

This is one of the signs on the outside of one of the doors leading in to one of the rooms in the multiple rooms area. Notice that they keep track of the dirtiness of everything. This was an EXTREMELY clean plant. You could eat off the floors they are so clean.

Another sign.

Here are pics of myself and two of my Utah associates, Lawrence and Jim, touring ProStar Fulfillment, ProPay Networks, Infotrax Systems and AmeriFill on September 1st and September 2nd. We know that ProStar will do our shipping fulfillment. We know that ProPay will do our Mastercard Debit Cards and network marketing company merchant account. We believe that AmeriFill will produce a trailblazing juice for us (never seen before). AmeriFill has promised to have a juice proposal ready for us within a month.

Peering down the hall leading off the lobby of ProStar Fulfillment. ProStar is THE choice for shipping/freight fulfillment by all of the serious network marketing companies.

This is Jared, President of ProStar Fulfillment, sitting in his office. He took us on the tour of the huge ProStar warehouse.

This is the cutie that showed us around until the President, Jared, took over and showed us around the warehouse.

Follow the cutie...

Just another office at ProStar Fulfillment. ProStar is located in Salt Lake City.

Another room at ProStar Fulfillment.

Another fellow sitting in another office at ProStar Fulfillment. ProStar has a total of 70 employees at this location. 40 in the shipping division. And 30 in the long haul freight division. Also, the long haul freight division has satellite offices in 10 states. The long haul freight division, amongst other things, will truck a Salt Lake City-based network marketing company's products to its Las Vegas annual convention, for example.

Here's one of the aisles in the shipping warehouse of ProStar Fulfillment.

Here's another view of another part of the ProStar Fulfillment warehouse. They have a total of 128,000 square feet...yowza!

This fellow is the President of the ProStar freight company (I think it's called ProStar Logistics or something like that). I don't remember his name because we spoke with him just for a couple of minutes here while he was sitting down.

Shot of ProStar Fulfillment's sign outside along the road.

A closer shot of the ProStar sign out front along the road.

Now we're at a completely different company, ProPay Networks, in Lehi, Utah. This is the company that is doing our Pure Hearts International MasterCard commission debit cards. This is Steve, our sales representative there. Steve is holding up this amazing "swipe" machine the size of a harmonca. It allows reps in the field to swipe credit cards. Nothing quite like it in all of the world. No kidding. ;)

This is a shot of some of the cubicles and employees at ProPay. ProPay has 100 employees. It's first big client is Mary Kay and they still serve Mary Kay today. They've been in business about 13 years now. And they serve some of the biggest direct selling companies in the world with commission debit cards, merchant account services, and much, much more.

This is a shot that I took of Lawrence and Steve walking thru ProPay's expansive offices that cover all of the 2nd floor in the building where they are located.

3 awards that ProPay has won.

A closeup of one of the three awards.

Another closeup of an award; this one somewhat blurry.

This is a DSA Partnership award. DSA stands for the Direct Selling Association; an organization that Pure Hearts International will be joining. DSA membership and/or DSA recognition, as with the case here with ProPay, is very, very important.

This is the lobby of Infotrax Systems. Infotrax is located in Orem, Utah. Infotrax is one of the leading corporate MLM software companies in the world.

I took this shot while myself, Jim Black and Lawrence were waiting for David, President of Amerifill, to arrive. We were early and so was David. AmeriFill is located in Salt Lake City.

This is a shot off the library area of Amerifill. In retrospect, wish I had taken a shot of their client product display case. It demonstrates the well established fact that Amerifill is THE network marketing juice making company here in the state of Utah. They make the juices for Monavie, Xango and almost all the rest...

Another Amerifill shot.

Lawrence is on the left. Next to Lawrence is Michael, one of the science employees of AmeriFill. Next to Michael is David, President of Amerifill, and the man personally responsible for pretty much all of the "juice movement" in the network marketing industry over the past 13 years or so. And next to David is our Jim Black.

This time Jim took the picture and I kneeled down in the back between Michael on your left and David on your right.

Here's an Amerifill plant area shot. They have 100,000 square feet of plant area that is basically broken up into three parts. The research and development area. The area where they make skin care products (including NuSkin's products; they were THE manufacturer that brought NuSkin to market way back in 1984). And the area where they make juices for almost everybody that sells juices.

Another Amerifill plant shot.

This is a picture of Michael, the Amerifill science employee, walking thru what I seem to recall was the beginning of the skin care product production area.

Another Amerifill plant shot.

These are just a few of the many Amerifill employees workng. I seem to recall that this was a part of the skin care production area too.

Another Amerifill plant shot. These are machines that make skin care products. I think. Either that or juices. Can't recall at the moment...

This is a shot of the research and development area. They are moving this to bigger quarters shortly. They had the architectural plans for it on a wall in this area.

Another shot of the Amerifill research and development area.

This is a picture of Amerifill's Chief Science Officer, Chuck Jones. Swell guy. ;)

Trust. But verify. Below, you'll find the Utah Department of Agriculture GRAMA report that we ordered on AmeriFill on Thursday, September 3rd. On Monday, August 31st, we ordered GRAMA reports on two other companies. In 10 days or less, the Utah Department of Agriculture will be mailing to us a complete regulatory history on each company, revealing any "bad marks" or providing a clean bill of health, whatever the case may be. Note on September 19, 2009: we've received the GRAMA reports back from the Utah Department of Agriculture and all 3 manufacturers that we're considering, and on which we requested GRAMA reports, passed with flying colors!
