The US-company XanGo, LLC, is launching a distributor growth initiative in Russia, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine, all countries that are a part of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The Grand Opening for this new market will occur on October 10 -11, 2009, at the Small Sport Arena in Moscow. “The time is right, and with the encouragement and support of the XanGo Board, XanGo is poised to grow in the CIS region,” said XanGo CEO Robert Conlee. “Direct sales has been well accepted there for many years,” Conlee explained, “and Russia is known globally as one of the top 10 direct sales markets in the world.” However, the industry has experienced some upheaval in the region related to the global economic uncertainty, and Conlee sees XanGo as offering a solution to veteran networkers: stability and an opportunity to grow with an established, successful company.

“We have already received a phenomenal response to the announcement that we are coming to Russia, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine,” said Conlee, “and we are committed to success. Two of our founders, Board Chairman Aaron Garrity and Board Member Joe Morton, as well as President A. Craig Hale will personally take part in the grand opening events. Doug Wead, renowned author and speaker, will also attend the events."

“What XanGo brought to the world seven years ago in terms of a ground floor business opportunity, we offer again now to those in the CIS,” said Garrity. “The difference is that, seven years later, we are in more than 30 countries with a sophisticated infrastructure to support distributors who understand the potential XanGo offers them.”

To facilitate the opening of the CIS region, XanGo recently finalized an agreement with a network marketing company that has had exceptional success in the CIS region. “With this partnership, we gain a management group with 15 years of experience building network marketing in the region,” commented Conlee. “A partnership with these market experts brings the infrastructure and the expertise needed to reliably open what would otherwise be a complex market.” Daniel Laroque will head this group and serve as President of XanGo CIS.
