Greg Norman PGA champion has joined Max International

Legendary "Great White Shark" joins Max International

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA – 26 October 2011

Greg Norman joins Max International Greg Norman, the "Great White Shark" of PGA Tour fame, is venturing into new waters. The former Golf Pro is putting the force of his lead management and investment group behind Max International, a leading nutraceuticals group with home-based sales in Australia, the US and other major markets. His move comes just as Max International prepares for global expansion.

The multi-million dollar deal between Norman's GSH Enterprises and Max International includes Norman's purchase of the lead Max Associate sales position. The spot was formerly occupied by Alan and Jean Sickman of the US. The Sickmans have been recognized as a driving force behind Max International's success in the home-based sales industry.

Alan & Jean Sickman Sell Top Position

Alan and Jean Sickman top money earners at Max International Alan and Jean Sickman, both former Army colonels, made direct sales and the Max International nutraceutical company their second career. After decades of serving the US military, the Sickmans took their strong work ethic and decision-making skills to the lower-stress world of direct sales. During fifteen years of experience with home-based direct sales, the couple became recognized experts and direct sales consultants. They then joined Max just after its inception in 2007. Within a few years, their top-level sales position in Max’s network was worth millions. The couple has been honored with the first-ever Max Legacy Award.

Norman’s GSH to expand Max International

As the Sickmans retire, they leave their prized position in Greg Norman's capable hands. Norman, a native son of Queensland, Australia, attained international fame from 1977 through the 1990s for frequent wins and near-misses on PGA Tours in Australia, Europe and the US. In 1995 he was named the PGA Tour Player of the Year. Upon retiring from pro competition, Norman formed Great White Shark Enterprises or GSH. The well-networked multinational company provides products and services related to the golf lifestyle.

Norman's primary business partners at GSH include David Chessler, a longtime financial advisor, and the top-level network marketing sales associates Charles Looney and Thomas Vaughan. Together, Looney and Vaughan are responsible for more than $1 billion in direct marketing sales over the past 20 years. Norman likens choosing each partner to pulling the right club out of his bag – and by choosing wisely, he's parlayed the business acumen he developed through public endorsements into success in the world of private business.

Expanded Max Team Poised for Global Growth

Business tycoon Steven K. Scott founded Max International in 2007. By 2011, Max's cutting-edge nutraceutical products have entered direct sales markets in the US and Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Singapore. Greg Norman's arrival coincides with corporate plans to move into Asian and Latin American markets. According to Max International President Jim Stevralia, the company’s current annual payout of about $25 million in direct sales commissions is “just the beginning.”

Max a Leader in Cell Defense & Anti-Aging

Max International owes much of its success to a single tripeptide: glutathione. Our bodies produce glutathione to fight toxins and free radicals, thereby improving immune system health. In fact, the tripepetide is so potent that glutathione samples are commonly taken to measure cell toxicity. Max has stepped in by producing patented formulas that boost glutathione production and otherwise promote performance and longevity.

RiboCeine a key ingredient of Max International's latest glutathione booster Cellgevity, is the result of research conducted by Dr. Herb Nagasawa at the University of Minnesota. RiboCeine delivers cysteine into the blood system to enhance one’s natural production of glutathione. The product has been the subject of at least 20 clinical studies funded at major universities. People of all ages and fitness levels have reported improved physical health and better mental acuity.

Cellgevity, launched earlier this month in the US and Canada combines RiboCeine with resveratrol, quercetin, aloe and other nutrients that neutralize free radicals and otherwise combat toxins and inflammation.

Max International also produces peptide-rich skin care items that boost collagen production and raise hydration levels. These comprise the Max International Visible Solutions Skin Care System.
