XanGo announced this week that Scott Smith, the company’s Senior Vice President will take the helm of the new Distributor Relations Department. The new department will be responsible for all aspects of the relationship between the company and its independent distributors.  No word on whether this will also include Xango’s new skincare line Glimpse.

The Distributor Relations Department will be comprised of several smaller departments, each offering a new service to distributors to help empower them and their business. The new departments, which Smith will oversee, will include Customer Service, Market Research, Distributor training and Elite Services.

XanGo hopes that the creation of the new department will not only aid the distributors, but help the company better understand what their distributors need in order to build and grow their business. XanGo wants to provide new resources that will give distributors all the tools and knowledge they need to be successful. .

“Scott and I agree that our distributors’ success must be at the center of any decisions, innovations and improvements that we make at XanGo,” said CEO Robert Conlee. “As we continue to grow and evolve into a multi-national, multi-billion dollar company, our ability to keep pace with our distributors’ needs and to maintain and improve upon the quality and outcomes of our efforts is crucial to reach our goals.”

Smith has been with XanGo for three years. During that time he has served as Chief Information Officer, helping to develop a new IT system as the company continues to grow around the world. Smith’s has an extensive background in the direct selling industry, one that not only includes technology and customer service, but also experience with building strong management teams to help provide the company and its employees superior service.

As we broke the news back in July, in a mere three weeks from now, XanGo (OpTree Profile) will officially launch its new Glimpse Skin Care line. The company, best known for its introduction of the mangosteen juice to the market, is now the first to create a skin care line produced from the tropic fruit.

The new Glimpse Skin line with not only feature the benefits of the mangosteen fruit, but will also feature the proprietary technology of the BioActive X3 Complex, a revolutionary system that will help deliver the ingredients to the skin. The BioActive is an all natural, clean and toxin free complex that will naturally nourish the skin.

“Glimpse is a natural, strategic extension of our business, and we’re proud to take the lead again by creating the category for topical skin nutrition from the mangosteen fruit,” said XanGo Founder and Board Chairman/CEO Aaron Garrity. “What XanGo Juice brought to the world six years ago in terms of creating a category and introducing a ground floor business opportunity, Glimpse will offer for topical mangosteen nutrition. The difference is that six years later we are in 23 countries with a sophisticated infrastructure and one million independent distributors to support the launch of Glimpse.”

Glimpse will become available on November 7th throughout the United States and Canada. The product will be introduced to the remaining 21 countries where XanGo products are sold in the first half of 2008. The product can be purchased online or through independent distributors.

XanGo (Lehi, Utah) has announced that they will be launching a new line of skin care products later this year. The line will be called GLIMPSE and will infuse the benefits of the Mangosteen fruit along with the Xanthones found in the fruit that contain powerful antioxidants.

The GLIMPSE product line will utilize a patented Xanthone formulation created by XanGo scientist that will harness the power of the Mangosteen fruit as well as provide all natural skin care that comes straight from the earth.

This is XanGo’s first attempt into the skin care world. Until now, Xango has focused their attention solely towards its nutritional fruit juice line. While exact details of what the skin care line will consist of have not been released just yet, you can keep track of the company’s progress by visiting them at www.XanGoLaunch2008.com.

XanGo has cornered the Mangosteen market garnering over 80% of the market share. Until now, they have not attempted to distribute anything other than nutritional drinks; it will be great to see how they do when entering the beauty and skin care world.
