Rick Stambaugh Appointed to Vice President of Sales

by Richard Brooke on December 5, 2011

On Saturday’s Special National Call, Janine introduced the newest member of 21TEN, Rick Stambaugh. I know I can speak for the entire 21TEN community when I say that we’re excited about the skills Rick brings to the team, and we look forward to nothing but continued growth with Rick as our Vice President of Sales.

Rick’s list of accomplishments and qualifications is long:

  • Began his Direct Selling career in 1983
  • Started full time as a Distributor selling cookware successfully until 1986 when he then joined The West Bend Company
  • Worked corporately at West Bend Company for 11 years in various capacities of sales and business development both domestically and internationally
  • Sought after by Herbalife International and accepted the position of Director of Corporate Marketing/Home Tech
  • At Herbalife he was responsible for Corporate Marketing of Herbalife’s products in the USA, Latin America, and for the Home Tech Division Globally
  • Starting in 2001, was President/CEO and minority owner of Fionda Group, LLC. A recognized leader in software solutions, communication, and benefit programs that help Direct Selling companies and their representatives realize their full potential
  • Fionda Group, LLC. originally started out providing telecommunication services, but through Rick’s vision and direction, the Fionda Group of Companies successfully transitioned from being a telecom centric company to emerging as one of the most respected companies not only in the software field, but also in the Direct Selling industry
  • Through his guidance Fionda received numerous awards and honors, including being named to INC, 500 Fastest-Growing Companies in the U.S.
  • In May 2011, he founded TekVation, LLC, a technology company specializing in custom designed software specifically for Direct Selling companies and industry
  • He is a past member of the Young Presidents Organization and sits on the board of directors for FallenWarriors.org and just recently finished his board term with the DSA.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

As an incredible field trainer, Rick will motivate and inspire 21TEN Distributors and field leaders to take action and to achieve financial freedom, and we expect to learn quite a bit at corporate, too.

Best of all, Rick began his career all those years ago as a Distributor, so he understands the nitty-gritty of the sales process. He’s had the same feelings, thoughts, and worries that we’ve all had, and he’s experienced the same elation, the same sense of accomplishment, and the same satisfaction.

He’ll have the support of the entire 21TEN team as he reaches for those goals, and we’re already looking forward to the bright, bright future.

Rick has been married 28 years to his high school sweetheart, Tina, and they have a daughter and a son.  They moved to beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, from California where they had lived for 13 years.

In Partnership,
Richard Bliss Brooke

Barry Smith Appointed to Vice President of Sales

by Richard Brooke on July 2, 2010

On Thursday night’s opportunity and training calls, I introduced the newest member of 21TEN, Barry Smith. I know I can speak for the entire 21TEN community when I say that we’re excited about the skills Barry brings to the team, and we look forward to nothing but continued growth with Barry as the Vice President of Sales.

Barry’s list of accomplishments and qualifications is long:

• Earned a B.A. from Georgia State University in psychology and marketing
• Was recognized as a finalist for the Direct Selling Association’s Innovation Award in 2001
• Attained certification and licensure as a LifeSuccess Consultant
• Worked his way up in the network marketing industry until he was responsible for 100,000+ distributor network

And this is just the iceberg’s tip.

As an incredible field trainer, Barry will motivate and inspire 21TEN Distributors and field leaders to take action and to achieve financial freedom, and we expect to learn quite a bit at corporate, too. Best of all, Barry began his career all those years ago as a Distributor, so he understands the nitty-gritty of the sales process. He’s had the same feelings, thoughts, and worries that we’ve all had, and he’s experienced the same elation, the same sense of accomplishment, and the same satisfaction.

“I knew what I wanted in my ideal networking marketing company, and I looked at 21TEN and knew this was it,” says Barry. “It has a solid compensation plan, and it’s supported by a solid 26-year marketing company that has proven itself.”

“Everything’s already in place,” he continues. “You can’t get in on a ground floor opportunity that matches this. It’s an incredible product, a great CEO, a wonderful management team, and it’s supported by top-notch people and has amazing Distributors. I’ve got high ambitions for 21TEN.”

He’ll have the support of the entire 21TEN team as he reaches for those goals, and we’re already looking forward to the bright, bright future.
