The UCCEO team recently visited with Steven Wiseman and Makenzie Howell at Rise Nutrition in Anna! Many of you know Steven from his days as a recruiter for the IL National Guard and as Chief Motivational Officer for Rise Performance 618. His newest position is as Store Manager for both Rise Nutrition locations, Anna and Carterville. Kenzie is a 2022 UCCEO alumni and a senior at SIU majoring in Dietetics and Nutrition. She works with Steven as a Nutritionist at both Rise Nutrition locations!
We had an interesting and information packed morning learning about this relatively new business. Steven and Kenzie took turns explaining the different products they carry as well as the different benefits and reasons to consider using them. They also did a great job of sharing their goal of providing clean, healthy, nutritionally sound products to further their customers in their health and fitness journeys.
The mission of “Empowering Community Through Wellness” is evident in their knowledge and enthusiasm of their products. Both Steven and Kenzie, as well as the rest of their staff, work hard to study, use and literally taste their products so they can share firsthand experience with their clients. They prioritize knowing their clients and learning what their goals and reasons are for buying the products so they can provide good solid suggestions. They are not in the business of just selling to sell but rather to offer resources and tools to “empower” their clients as they work toward their health and fitness goals.
We also were excited to share this opportunity with three prospective students who are interested in applying for next year’s UCCEO team. It was a 🌟full circle visit🌟 to have Kenzie, a UCCEO alumni presenting to our current class with prospective students for next year’s class in attendance, as well.
Thank you Steven and Kenzie for a fabulous visit! Your knowledge and expertise, along with your contagious enthusiasm for your products and clients was a great experience for us! We loved seeing your clean, well organized store and appreciate your time!!
