Sunrider Supports AIDS Walk Los Angeles

Sunrider had the privilege of being the sole sponsor of the AIDS Walk Los Angeles Awards Tent on 21 Oct. 2007. As part of its sponsorship, Sunrider donated $10,000 to AIDS Walk Los Angeles that will benefit AIDS Project Los Angeles, one of the largest non-profit AIDS service organizations in the U.S. Sunrider also donated 3,000 sample tubes of Oi-Lin® Hand & Body Lotion Sunscreen SPF 25, which was handed out by volunteers to all the walkers who came to the Awards Tent. This was the first time Sunrider has participated in AIDS Walk, and we are happy that we could help bring more awareness, education, and help in preventing the spread of this life-threatening disease.

Before the AIDS Walk began, we were invited to a VIP Breakfast with the other event sponsors and a host of television and musical celebrities. At the VIP Breakfast representing Sunrider were David & Kay Heap, Jose Flores, Pauline Vo, Regional Manager Ras Jeyakumar, my husband Jonathan and myself, and our cousin Jamee. Although the breakfast started very early in the morning, it was great to see everyone there in support of eradicating AIDS.

We also had the opportunity to speak to our sales leaders about the importance of Dr. Chen’s new script on How to Approach, which is a necessity for every new and old business builder. In it, Dr. Chen provides an easy to follow script of exactly what you should say when approaching both new and familiar prospects. The number one principle: Let them know how much money they can potentially make!!! Everyone should memorize this script, role play it, and use it to introduce Sunrider and answer Frequently Asked Questions. If you’d like a copy, just call/email and let us know.

After the breakfast, we were guided to a VIP section adjacent to the Opening Ceremony stage. Celebrities like Faith Ford from the TV series “Murphy Brown” and now “Hope & Faith,” Ana Ortiz from “Ugly Betty,” and Shirley Jones (aka Mrs. Partridge from “The Partridge Family”) were there to name a few.

It was a great and exciting event for the tens of thousands of people who were there.

WELCOME TO SUNRIDER'S OFFICIAL BLOG!

Welcome to our new Sunrider blog! I'm happy to be the first guest blogger and share more about Sunrider. We hope our blog will give you a "behind-the-scenes" look at the company and include other guest bloggers from the corporate office.

New Business Leader Training Meeting

A little over a week ago, we had our first "New Business Leader Training Meeting." My parents, Sunrider owners Dr. Tei-Fu Chen and Dr. Oi-Lin Chen, specially invited a select group of 21 new Business Leaders and their sponsors for a 2-day training seminar. I wasn't able to attend all of the meetings, but what I did see and hear was exciting!

On the first day (September 26th), we visited the new LA Manufacturing Plants. I haven't been inside for over a year and I was awestruck at the size, scope, and complexity of the facilities. I know how big it is (almost 900,000 square feet) and I've heard my parents talk a lot about it, but WOW, seeing it for myself was absolutely thrilling. It just further validated what I and our Distributors already know—that my parents' commitment and investment to create the finest products is bar none. It's mind-boggling to comprehend the enormity of this project. I think our new Business Leaders were also amazed and proud to be part of this. Of course, there is still work to do and machinery to move. I can't wait to see it completed in the beginning of 2008. You can be sure I'll showcase it all over our website!

Over the next two days, my parents and Don Caster, a Silver Master Director, coached the new Business Leaders on how to approach, how to answer frequently asked questions, and how to be a leader. During the training, I could tell the new Business Leaders' eyes were opened to the true potential of their business. Obviously, they are all hard workers and have goals for their business; otherwise, my parents wouldn't have invited them. But, I think the whole experience boosted their confidence that Sunrider really can help them fulfill their goals and that they should dream even bigger. They realized Sunrider is not just about great products and by-the-way you can make some extra money, but Sunrider is the way for them to own a huge, profitable business AND enjoy our products AND help other people at the same time. I can't think of a business that's more mutually beneficial than this.

Before the Business Leaders left, my parents gave them a few special "treats" to take home— products that are still in development such as the new brightening serum and new Oi-Lin® Skin Care Trial Set. I also gave them a sneak peak at our new website design and replicator website. Yes, we are revamping everything!

I had a great time meeting the new Business Leaders and feeling their energy. It renewed and strengthened my own motivation to help them succeed. Anabelle also enjoyed meeting them (especially one little boy) and helping my father with his presentation. We're planning on holding these special meetings twice a year. Hopefully, some of you who are reading this blog will qualify the next time and we can "wine and dine" you.
