Get full report on why Roger Barnett spent $310 million of his own money to buy Shaklee.

Back when Roger was establishing his career in investment banking, Roger Barnett made all the right moves: degrees from Harvard and Yale; jobs in London, Paris and New York City; and regular appearances in the society pages along with his wife Sloan.

Today they own Shaklee, the company had seen no growth in a decade but Roger saw the potential and with his innovative designs that appeal to the younger crowd sales now reach over $1 million a day many days of the month. Roger hits a gong from his office when sales reach a million on any given day and says that he is hitting the gong many days of the month and loves the feeling.

He could opt to place the products in stores or do TV spots but feels that other than just making money people need to know how Shaklee helps the environment and the importance of this. He feels that can best be done by the distributors that have been faithful to Shaklee for many years, that are up to speed on the environment and care about helping others.

What a breath of fresh air Roger and Sloan Barnett have been to a company that many people knew about but millions did not. They have raised awareness of the need to live a greener life and to the products that have stood the test of time since 1956.

Their son suddenly developed asthma and as there was no history of it in either family they began to change their cleaning products and when they found Shaklee and their son never had to be rushed to the emergency room again they went a step further than using the products, they bought the company.

Going from investment banker to CEO of a direct marketing company may have seemed a little risky from most views but Roger could not be happier with his investment.

We can’t all take such a step, however we can use products that are not only beneficial to the environment but will keep our children healthy.

With one bottle of Basic H2 you can make the equivalent of 5,824 bottles of 26-oz. (769 ml) of Windex.

For those that believe the products are too expensive that saves you a ton of money. I don’t know what Windex costs but if it were $1.75 that would save me $10,190.25. Imagine the impact that also has on our landfills.

If you believe you can not afford to use Shaklee, I say you can’t afford not to. I buy a few Get Clean Kits per year, give much of it away through my sites where I have people fill out the contact us forms for a chance to win free product and still have enough product to last me throughout the year or longer.

If you would like to view the Get Clean Kit click here. You get the products and the measuring devices plus the empty bottles to mix them in.

You won’t find Shaklee anywhere but online, some distributors keep some product on hand as they get calls from people wanting to know if they have some available to come by and pick up, this happens to me on a daily basis and most of the time I happen to have what they are looking for. If you have not tried Shaklee I recommend you do so today.
