Christina and Russ Thomas, Oregon

Allow me to introduce Christina and Russ Thomas. Here is their story:


“About a year and half ago Sheila asked us to look at Lyoness and attend a meeting.  We were skeptical and really didn't want to do it.  But since Sheila is a good personal friend and also very persistent, we reluctantly agreed to go to a Lyoness presentation with her.  After the presentation we were not convinced it was something we wanted to get involved with.  Consequently we did extensive research on Lyoness and made several inquiries.  Of course we found all the negative stuff that nay-sayers had to say.  We relayed the information to Sheila and cautioned her to not get heavily involved.  Sheila once again convinced us to attend another meeting.  At the second meeting we felt armed enough to challenge the presenter - Jim Richardson.  Jim was able to answer our concerns and disarm us :-).  
Slowly we started coming around and warming up to the fact that Lyoness is legitimate.  Sheila continued to work us and eventually convinced us to place units which making ourselves Premium members.  This was a HUGE step for us because both my husband and I have worked extremely hard to have reputations that speak to integrity.  He is a retired Police Chief and I'm a retired Human Resource Manager.  Both of our professions required absolute trust and honesty, and I'm happy to say all of our personal and professional relationships are built on that foundation.  I am happy to report that we have invited a number of people into Lyoness due to Sheila's continued enthusiasm and persistence. She has built an incredible team and I'm extremely happy for her and all the success she has enjoyed by becoming a level 4 in a short period of time.” 
We have put our concerns aside and we're fully onboard!  I'm currently working towards becoming an SME Coach so I can help grow this fantastic business.

Redmond, Oregon Sally Hite

Allow me to introduce a Redmond, Oregon local, Sally Hite. Here is her story:



“My name is Sally Hite, I was introduced to lyoness in April of 2013 from some dear friends that I have known for 20+ years. We had worked together for several years in the financial services industry. Our hearts ran on parallel paths of genuinely caring about others. So it was not surprising that they were involved and wanted to share it with me. Truly what attracted me in the beginning was the fact that everyone was already spending money on groceries, gas and clothing, flights and hotels and 200,000 other things... why not get cash back?

But is has become so much more to me than that now...I love Lyoness because they care, they are genuinely making a positive contribution to the world. They serve the small and medium size businesses, the backbone of America, with a loyalty program unlike any other in the marketplace. Giving everyone an equal opportunity, regardless of where you started in this life, to make a better life for yourself, your family and the world.

I believe with all of my heart that Lyoness will be the greatest company in the world. I also believe it is the greatest opportunity I have ever been a part of.”

United Arab Emirates Sheikh Al Habtoor

Let me tell you a story about Sheikh Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor.


Sheikh Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, lives in the United Arab Emirates. He is head of the third wealthiest family in the UAE. He is the founder and chairman of the Al Habtoor Group, one of the most successful conglomerates in the Gulf. In 1970, he established his own construction company, Al Habtoor Engineering, which later became the Al Habtoor Group. This company now has its hand in many different businesses across the globe which include construction, real estate, car dealerships, car rentals, publishing, insurance, educational establishments and luxury hotels. For more info see: The Al Habtoor group’s website, The Al Habtoor Group Corporate Video, and Khalaf Al Habtoor’s own website.

To give you a taste of the wealth of Al Habtoor and his company, I will repeat what was announced during Sensation 2014. The last business transaction he made before speaking to the audience at Sensation was the equivalent of 50 billion US dollars! That is Billion with a B, paid in cash, of course… Since being told about Lyoness he has decided not only to put his name and reputation on the line but to Sponsor Lyoness. Additionally he has said that all 600+ of his businesses will be Lyoness merchants to the extent they are able.

Let me tell you what it means to Sponsor a business in the UAE. A sponsor is accountable for anything (good or bad) that happens with the company they sponsor. It is similar to cosigning on a car. Before committing to sponsor a business one must make sure that the company being sponsored is above reproach because if they are not, then the sponsor is liable.


When Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates launches later this summer, Lyoness members around the world will benefit from this influx of new business.
