John and Blanca Sachtouras are top earners at Organo Gold, a coffee direct sales company. Reportedly making over $400,000 each month through direct selling, they established their distributorship within just two years and earned that sum each month.

Organo’s compensation plan recognizes them as Crown Ambassadors, placing them among the top 5% of distributors.

John Sachtouras

John Sachtouras is a successful self-made man who rose from modest beginnings to become one of the top leaders in network marketing. His success can be attributed to resilience and integrity he gained through experience and training; these traits enabled him to build organizations of over one million distributors worldwide and generate over one billion in sales, which led him to become CEO of ASCIRA, an international direct sales/network marketing company.

ASCIRA offers an expansive line of products, such as Organo Gold coffee and wellness supplements. In addition, ASCIRA provides business coaching and leadership development programs for its distributors across more than 30 countries – in addition to distribution operations it also owns and operates resorts and spas worldwide.

John and Blanca Sachtouras reside in Richmond, Texas where they recently purchased a 7,058-square foot house. Since June 2009 they have been Coffee Direct Sellers with Organo Gold, and they have quickly achieved Crown Ambassador status within two and half years – earning $695,000 per month as they sell direct!

They are top earners in direct selling industry. According to their testimony, they achieved Diamond Consultant status within 90 days and then quickly advanced through Black & Blue ranks to Crown status within 6 months and 15 months – quite an amazing accomplishment for such newcomers to the field! This achievement alone makes their success remarkable and incredible.

In February 2016, the defendants are accused of soliciting other Distributors to join TLC, in violation of their Distributor Agreement which forbids participation in any other opportunity that directly competes with Organo and offers Ganoderma-based products (Dkt # 11 (Zelaya Decl) P4).

Luis Ventura is a network marketer residing in San Antonio, Texas who joined Organo in July 2009. According to his testimony, Mr. Sachtouras approached him about selling TLC’s products and Ventura accepted. Although never an employee of Organo full time, rather he served as an independent contractor throughout their relationship.

John and Blanca Sachtouras

John and Blanca Sachtouras, Ambassadors for ORGANO(tm), were driven to create a better life for themselves and their family. They sought to secure a solid financial base so they could watch their daughter flourish, pay for her college education, buy themselves an affordable car, travel the world and assist others with their dreams – with ORGANO being their perfect means of reaching those goals.

Before finding Organo Gold, John and Blanca had been hard at work developing their businesses separately – John as a real estate broker while Blanca taught elementary school – yet both struggled to find time for family due to a busy work schedule and difficult economic conditions in their country.

Despite these obstacles, they persisted with their efforts and achieved Crown Ambassador rank with Organo Gold within two years. Now top earners in both their company and Direct Selling as a whole, they live comfortably in an enormous 7,058 square-foot home in Richmond Texas and make a comfortable living from their earnings.

Defendants’ Distributor Application prohibits them from engaging in opportunities that compete with Organo Gold by offering ganoderma-based products, but its language does not specifically state they cannot solicit distributors; rather, it states they can recruit new customers and recruit existing distributors into participating in Organo Gold business – something which they have done based on evidence presented to this Court (Dkts # 11 (Sachtouras Decl.) pages 4-8 as well as Dkt # 20 (Herrera Decl.) pages 3-8 as well as Exhibi A).

John and Blanca’s Story

John and Blanca Sachtouras have become one of Organo Gold’s top distributors, earning the title Crown Ambassadors within its compensation structure and reported earnings of approximately $695,000 monthly as of February 2013. Furthermore, the couple are recognized among direct selling industry’s highest earners.

John and Blanca’s success with Organo Gold has been nothing short of extraordinary, yet their journey was not without obstacles. Being new immigrants to America meant it could often be challenging finding enough time for both business and family, not to mention financial resources and an available work visa.

While their journey was certainly challenging, John and Blanca’s perseverance and hard work have ultimately paid off. Now living an easy lifestyle that allows them to spend quality time with family and friends while fulfilling some of their original ambitions such as purchasing their dream home and traveling the globe.

The couple have made it their mission to help others by sharing Organo Gold opportunities. Their aim is to assist others in becoming financially independent while fulfilling their own dreams and making a positive difference in society.

Defendants do not contest that the Distributor Agreement prohibits them from taking actions which directly compete with Organo Gold’s offering of Ganoderma-based products (Dkt # 11 (Sachtouras Decl.) page 4). Please also see Dkt. # 20 (Herrera Decl.) pages 7-9. However, the defendants contend they did not pursue any other opportunities to sell ganoderma-based products and the Court disagrees with this assertion. The Court finds that Defendants are barred from any opportunity that competes with Organo Gold’s product offerings and compensation plan, and has no evidence that Defendants have tried to compete against Organo Gold in this way.
