It was tremendous nice to being in attendance on the final Pruvit Hacking Higher Occasion the place Vi representatives have been in attendance.
Google cache additionally supplied me with this, from a since deleted article on one other website;
One of many greatest revelations got here on the final evening of Hacking Higher… Pruvit has now acquired the direct gross sales firm Visalus.
Pruvit will proceed to advertise their present product line. Pruvit will NOT distribute and of the Visalus Physique By Vi shake combine or every other product line of well being and wellness merchandise.
The Visalus firm executives Blake Mallen, Ryan Blair and Nick Sarnicola have been all current on the Hacking Higher occasion – and addressed questions in regards to the future partnership of Pruvit and Visalus.
The Visalus management staff have been open about a few of their failures in operating Visalus.
Visalus peaked round 2012 with the Physique By Vi Problem.
However with large development, the corporate tradition suffered. Whereas they have been profitable entrepreneurs, the corporate was not doing something distinctive or modern with their product line.
This together with authorized issues landed the corporate within the place to both get acquired or exit of enterprise.
From a enterprise perspective Visalus has been in decline for a lot of years now. That’s to not say issues have been quiet although.
Over the previous few months Visalus settled two fraud associated civil lawsuits. One other quietly settled lawsuit pertained to an Amazon retail racket.
Simply over three years in the past the corporate additionally laid off a ton of employees, and who can neglect the hacking espionage scandal?
Just a few months in the past we reviewed Liv, a complicated Visalus spinoff that doesn’t appear to have gone wherever.
Pruvit launched again in 2015. We weren’t impressed with the corporate’s “pee on a stick” advertising and marketing strategy.
There’s been a number of authorized stoushes with different MLM corporations, however issues have in any other case been quiet.
Oh, apart from the screwing over of loyal Pruvit distributors earlier this 12 months.
Not likely certain why that is being saved hush hush… however uh there you go. Pruvit appears to have purchased what was left of Visalus.
