Call Recap: Simple Plan Draws New Life to Organizations

To be sure you gleaned everything needed from last night’s call (please note: call will be replayed this Saturday, 8/14, at 10 am PST), we wanted to provide you with a helpful recap—one that hits all the high notes and emphasizes exactly what you need to know. Regardless of your Sunrider level, there’s someone on this panel to connect with and use for inspiration in your own business.


Please read closely and see what you can do to emulate their success—they’re really making it happen! 


First was Christine Marek, a Business Leader experiencing success in Phoenix, Arizona. Just a consumer up until February of this year, it took her only three months to become a Business Leader with the new plan and lower prices. She now has 70 people in her organization.


“ I’ve been in sales, I graduated with a marketing degree over 20 years ago…and I’ve always found that no matter what product or service I’ve [sold], I’ve had to love it. And by being a consumer first and having a great upline that taught me the benefits of the products, then I could tell anybody and everybody. In fact, you know, it wasn’t right for me not to tell people about the products. So that made me into a person that believes in my products and is honored to represent Sunrider…I want to grow more and more, so I have some great goals—some realistic, step by step goals—and I’m definitely going to see an improvement in my business.”


Then we listened to Linda Pinkerton, of Guadalupita, New Mexico, who has only been in Sunrider two years, originally giving Sunrider® products a “100 day try.” Not too long ago, Linda spoke to John Teng and told him at 72 she just wasn’t at the right stage in life to be a business builder, yet her organization has averaged $12,000 for the last three months!*


“What I’ve enjoyed about Sunrider is sharing what it’s done for me with other people, and I guess that’s the reason why I’ve been so successful…I really didn’t want to get into it to do a business, but I can’t help it. I have to share it and it has been so successful for me, because I have shared it with people.”


Carla Thompson, a nine year Sunrider veteran from Reading, Pennsylvania, recently changed her approach to business first (versus product) and is enjoying a flurry of activity and excitement in her organization with the new plan and prices.


“I decided to change my approach because of the easy compensation plan. I decided to take this new philosophy of business to business people and they readily comprehend that with this minimal start-up fee and no conflict with their existing business, they can see the income just climb rapidly. The compensation plan shows the business growth with just introducing two IBOs per month, and they kind of look at me in disbelief when they see what kind of income potential they can achieve and they immediately start talking to other business people about becoming IBOs… My phone’s been ringing off the hook and I’ve been running to try to keep up with this flurry of activity. So I really appreciate this new compensation plan, this system of duplication.”


From Saskatchewan, Canada, Jacqueline Andrea has been a Sunrider for 15 years. With leadership and the new plan’s opportunities, Jacqueline’s group has sponsored over 80 new people since March, making her organization the fastest growing in all of Canada.


“I’m closely connected to my group and I just teach my people how to lead...A lot of times, people aren’t open to change. I say, ‘Let’s take advantage of this change. Let’s really work this. Let’s focus on the carrots. Let’s look for what Dr. and Mrs. Chen are willing to pay us for. And so, as I see it, the plan is all geared for greater volume, and the plan is helping us to focus on sponsoring people …We have an attitude of service, and our focus is to get this wonderful product into as many hands as possible. I’m thrilled and so are my Business Leaders… there’s never been a finer time to get involved with Sunrider.”


Twenty-year Sunrider, J.W. Emerson of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a Golden Group Business Leader, underscored that with the value of Sunrider’s unparalleled products, reorders make the business grow.


“It’s just the fact that the foods are now more affordable. That’s made a tremendous difference. But we teach and share with people the value of the foods…it’s re-orders that makes a difference in a company. And that’s what we strongly emphasize, the value, so these people will reorder each month, and that’s what makes a business go. If you work for someone, and they don’t move the product, you won’t have a job very long. And so once they feel the power of these foods, they will share with other people.”


With Sunrider for 28 years, Silver Master Business Leader, Paul Jensen, of Spanish Fork, Utah, believes it’s truly easier to build now than ever before, but we need to adjust our attitudes and look for the value and opportunity this plan offers. 


“We’ve all had to adjust to our current situation, and some have had harder situations to adjust to than others, but the reality is, that when it’s all said and done, we have to adjust …to really see the value of what we have in the future…We’ve got to apply business principles and treat it like a business, so that we can be profitable…If you’re focusing on getting to, say, the $3,000 so that you can be a Business Leader, and then you plateau out and you’ve gotten there, you’ve missed the whole point, because as Business Leader, there’s no profit at that level… so if you hit the $3,000 and you kick back in your recliner, drink hot Calli®, and watch T.V. while you bask in your success, you’ve missed the point…I really do believe that with the pricing structure and the compensation plan, and the tools that we have, that it is easier to build now…There’s no reason why we can’t go out and hold our heads high and talk about the business end of it, and bring people in and let them experience the products and the potential growth that we have here.”


These are just the highlights of this special call, but hopefully they’ve inspired you to make changes to your own business, or to see something new in a different and positive light. Please be reminded this is just a cross-section of many IBOs around the country experiencing great success, excitement, and growth such as these. We’ll continue to provide you with inspiring, helpful stories to assist in overcoming any obstacles you may face and achieving your goals.
