Update:

recent email (Jan 22nd, 2015) from DNAeX to affilaites:

Happy New Year and welcome to 2015.

With the New Year has come some significant changes at DNAeX.

Over the past couple of months, we have been conducting a strategic review of our business and have interviewed many customers, partners, staff and key stakeholders. I would personally like to thank everyone who has given their feedback. Your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for what we are doing has been inspirational. The feedback on our products has been fantastic and it is great to know that we have such support in the community.

So for 2015, we are delighted to announce the following changes.

Firstly and most importantly. DNAeX will no longer sell directly to the public. All sales will go through our dedicated partner network. This has the advantage of allowing our partners to interact directly with their athletes and to bundle our services to benefit both the partner and the athlete. It also allows us to refer athletes to professionals in our network.

Secondly, our product lineup has changed. Our customers have asked for us to breakup our product offerings, so instead of a single test, we are now able to offer the following tests (with more coming soon)

Injury Risk

Athletes Nutritional Requirement

Talent Identification

Fitness & Nutrition (The full DNAeX Fit-Test)

Neuro/Psychological Aptitude for Sport

Professional Consulting

Thirdly, we are expanding our reach. To date much of our focus has been in emerging markets (India, China etc), but we have been getting many requests for our services from all over the world. As such we are in the process of adding partners in Asia, Europe, South America, Middle East and the USA, making DNAeX a truly global company.

Fourthly, our online reporting tool has been updated so that our partners can see all of their athletes results in one place.

Lastly we have now updated our website, with all of the changes. The website is currently open so that you can see all of the changes, products, pricing etc. We will be changing this in the coming week, so if you are not currently registered as a partner or have forgotten your login details please contact me directly.

Once again, thank you to everyone for their feedback and let’s all help our athletes to be the best they can be in 2015.

Chat soon
