AGEL Enters Pre-launch in Europe
The anticipated pre-launch of the first Suspension Gel Technology enterprise in Europe has started. Agel will accept pre-launch enrollments now. The initial orders will be processed later in September and products will ship to European Team Members from Tilburg in the Netherlands starting the week of September 18.
Products will be available for “Free Sell” in the Netherlands and NFR (Not For Resale) in other European Union (EU) markets, including:
Belgium
Germany
United Kingdom
Finland
Ireland
Luxemburg
Austria
Portugal
Spain
Sweden
Poland
Latvia
Czech Republic
Lithuania
Denmark
Hungary
Slovenia
Slovakia
Sweden
Estonia
Europe will open in phases. *Due to taxation issues, some EU countries are not included in the initial launch, namely Greece, Malta, Cyprus, France and Italy. Additional countries within Europe will be phased into the Agel Distant Selling program during the first 60 to 90 days.
Following the initial launch, the NFR status will be modified in some countries and eliminated in others, as individual European governments accept the Belgium product registration. Agel FIT, Agel UMI, Agel EXO, Agel MIN, and Agel OHM are all registered in Belgium.
Corporate headquarters in the United States will serve as the backbone for Agel business overseas, with most all business being conducted via the Internet. The Agel Pay Plan, Customer Service, and Product Manufacturing for Europe are already in place. Agel has partnered with a reputable warehouse in Europe and a reliable shipping service to facilitate the logistic operations and product distribution throughout Europe.
Moving this quickly into a new market will require adjustments for European Team Members. For example, customer service will be available between the hours of 4:00 pm and 1:00 am Central European Standard Time (CEST), Monday through Friday. European Team Members can enroll at either the Executive or Retailer Levels. Agel will charge an enrollment fee of 25 Euro in all countries but the UK and 15 pounds in the UK at the time of enrollment. (Agel will not charge the initial order fee or the enrollment fee until product is ready to ship.) Europe will open with Agel FIT and Agel UMI. Agel MIN and Agel OHM will be added to the options in 30 to 60 days. Other new products will follow.
The Agel Pay Plan in Europe matches the US version with the following exception: Commissions/Bonuses will be paid via direct deposit in British Pounds in the UK and in Euros elsewhere.

This application must then be faxed to Agel Corporate. The new account will be active on the day of enrollment and will remain active if the signed application is received at Agel within 15 days of enrollment. The appropriate fax number is on the application.
