When nadine Ffrench, the former Sunshine Girls defender/goalkeeper, left Jamaica to take up a basketball scholarship at Mercy College in new York in 2004, the main thing on her mind was to complete her studies and return to her family in Jamaica.
Sixteen years later, it is obvious that having achieved some of her sports goals in the US, including promoting her natural game, netball, in both New York and Florida, she has also found her footing in business, as an executive distributor of health, wellness, hygiene and beauty products on the east coast.
Since moving to Florida, she has become involved in playing and coaching netball, and has now moved up to the vice-presidency of the Florida Netball Association. But, even more important to her welfare, she has became so intimately involved with the health/ wellness products, after testing a medication for a knee injury she developed in Jamaica years ago.
The medication drew her to distributor US firm Total Life Changes (TLC) Distribution, pulled her into joining the company as a distributor of its health and wellness products and giving her a chance to actually start her own distribution network.
“At first, I just enjoyed using them, especially the cannabis-based infuse cream which alleviates my old injury. But, I fell in love with the natural raw products and started spreading the word until, eventually, I took on the challenge of becoming a distributor for TLC,” she explained.
TLC is a fast-growing distribution company created by former Ford employee Jack Fallon, to distribute health and wellness products – including: the liquid multivitamin Nutraburst; the energy supplement NRG; and the Iaso detox Tea with Full-spectrum Hemp – across the United States.
Over the past few years his company ballooned into a huge distribution network using a unique sales strategy, which allows users to set up their own home distribution base with starter kits as low as US$200.
Ffrench also fell for Fallon’s sales ideas which transcend the typical network marketing model.
He maintains that: “How you do anything is how you do everything. The key to growth is believing a better you is always waiting at the other end of a challenge; do the hard work and get things done.”
Since joining the team in April, Ffrench has moved up the ladder from distributor to executive director to her new role as regional director covering the south eastern tip of the USA, including the state of Virginia.
But, she said she is not going to stop there, because she really wants to set up a worldwide distribution team to spread the products she handles around the world, as a global ambassador for TLC and as the head of her own company, Ffrench Connection, with which she
