Simple, Duplicable Plan Creates Fast Growth

Karen Spencer Dees, a Golden Group Business Leader from Framingham, Massachusetts, recently put a new approach into place and is experiencing undeniably positive results in her business growth and income. 


Here’s Karen’s story:


As a nutritionist, mother, wife, and Sunrider business owner, I only accept the finest ingredients for the best results. This is why I choose Sunrider. I have loved these products for over 20 years. My family, friends, and clients have all received the wonderful wellness benefits from the foods, the age-defying and youthful benefits of Kandesn® skin care and make up, and the overall health and environmental benefits from our personal care and home care products. This is what Sunrider offers. 


I am equally excited with the opportunity. The concept of “2x2” is so simple and duplicable. The idea of spending $100 per month or $25 per week is such a simple concept. We all spend money on shampoo, toothpaste, supplements, etc., but we are not given a discount or rebate. When I looked at the numbers, the reality sunk in. If a person shared with two people per month the concept of “2x2,” and they duplicated this same concept, then in one year everyone would be making a substantial income. The numbers told the truth. This was very clear and I could teach this quickly and easily to everyone. The products and the duplication would change their lives forever. This offered new hope!  


It’s so simple: If you are currently purchasing products from stores with no discount or reimbursement, and you switch to using our superior brand, Sunrider, you will be compensated for your usage. As you refer other people to Sunrider, you will be financially rewarded.

The new Business Plan and lower prices makes it easy to duplicate Karen’s plan and energize your organization. Remember, our Philosophy of Regeneration® makes our products one-of-a-kind in the market—so get out, start sharing, and see growth. The new Business Plan and lower prices makes it easier than ever. 


Seize the opportunity!

Business Plan Helps IBO “Get Back to Basics”

John Teng, North American Sales Manager, recently spoke to IBO Diane Haryett about the new business plan and how it’s helping her organization thrive: “The new business plan helps us get back to basics. It is easy to teach and for new people to understand and identify an achievable goal.” 


Diane said that when someone expresses interest in learning more about Sunrider, she asks them to think about adding income to their home, and to make a list of people who would be interested in the business or the products. She sets a clear “stair-step” goal to earn money in Sunrider: Build your personal group sales to $1,100, then $2,200, and then to $3,300 (approximate US currency to the Canada dollar,) and then ask four to five people to partner with you. 


She also believes it’s really smart to have the foods paid for. “The price of supermarket foods go up and down, but overall, the prices of all goods are only going to get higher so why not have your food paid for by Sunrider,” she said. Diane said that with the lower prices, it’s now the best time ever for consumers to buy the foods. She has a friend who recently bought a brand new car for the price the same make and model cost 10 years ago! That means the customer has the advantage and Diane encourages all of her consumers to “cash in while they can!” When they have extra cash from the reduced prices, she encourages them to buy more Sunrider® products.


When asked how she determines who is a consumer and who is a business builder, she is quick to say she was a skeptic at the beginning, too. If they say they are not interested in the business she tells them her own story, and that she once felt the same way. She tells them the day may come when they’ll be interested, so she asks for a few minutes to talk about the business for future reference. Diane also emphasizes the importance of addressing their needs and customizing your approach to those needs. Plus, “You never get bored working with these products…,” Diane said, “Sunrider products address overall wellness and there is something for everybody.”   


Diane’s right—there is something for everybody with Sunrider. Whether it’s business or product, Sunrider offers it all. Remember that when you approach people. There’s always something to be offered in Sunrider. And with the new low prices and simple business plan, it’s easier than ever to “get back to basics” and achieve your goals. 

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.

Simple Changes Create Big Impact

New Plan Draws New Life to Organization

Carla Thompson, a Sunrider IBO for nearly 10 years, always used a product exclusive approach, shying away from promoting Sunrider’s business opportunity. Recently, though, Carla decided to change things up, and the results have been incredible.

She not only began discussing the business potential with prospective customers, as well as discussing products, but she also simplified her approach, making it shorter and duplicable. Then, most importantly, she shared it with her downline. The easily duplicable approach caught on and now Carla’s success is resonating throughout her entire organization in the form of growth, vibrancy, and renewed excitement.

Here’s what Carla recently said in regards to her new approach tactics:

I can hardly keep up with the flurry of activity that’s been ignited…Monday, at lunch time, a man came in to pick up his lunch before going to work and signed up as an IBO. As I was processing his application, a downline IBO in my organization flags down a woman she knows walking by. She tells the woman, “You need to come in and hear about this.” The woman comes in and listens to my SR briefing. In less than 10 minutes she says, “Say no more. How much do I need to get started? I will get the cash and come back tomorrow afternoon.” She came back and purchased her gift pack and said that when her package arrives, she will meet with me and have a friend with her, and then she will upgrade to an IBO.

A business man also overheard this same SR briefing and said, “When can I meet with you? I want to make money too.” Today, I went to his place of business, and gave him my SR briefing. He wanted to know exactly how you make money, so I showed him the compensation chart, and he stared in disbelief as if it was too easy. Then a customer entered his store and I approached her as well, asking if she would appreciate having more energy. She emphatically replied, “Yes!” After briefly explaining what I had shared with the store owner, I allowed her to sample the SunBreeze® Oil. Instantly, she was very interested, so I walked her through my SR picture-book briefing. She asked for my business card and said she will be calling me to get together.

The store owner was amazed and he said, “Go ahead, get me started!” He pointed to his computer and said, “sign me up.” As I pulled up the online application, he said, “Wait, I need more time to think. I don't proceed this fast.” I asked if I could address his concerns. He said he thinks the opportunity is good, but just needed a little time to think about everything. I showed him the Introductory Video on Sunrider’s website, and he was impressed. He just wanted a day to contemplate, and I’m optimistic he will join!

This inspiring story shows how easy it is to make small changes that can have big, positive effects in your organization. Not only has Carla experienced positive activity, her downlines have too. These small changes brought enthusiasm to her organization through not only renewed excitement, but also new, motivated downlines that are easily duplicating her tactics! As success continues resonating throughout the organization, Carla’s business will continue growing and succeeding. All it takes is persistence, the right attitude, and the willingness to adapt.

Business Tips from Successful IBOs

Read helpful business tips from two successful Canada IBOs...you'll find great ideas!

Sheryl Fitzharris and Tim Bullinger
South Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
Silver Master Business Leaders

Sheryl:

I make it a point at the end of every presentation to set clear expectations by asking my guests where they see themselves starting in Sunrider: as a business builder or consumer. If they say business builder, I walk them through the business plan and then I ask them what they are willing to do in terms of time commitment and effort to build their business. 

A dear friend of mine, whom I introduced to Sunrider many years ago, told me he just wanted to be a product consumer. Many years later, this friend’s coworker saw the Sunrider® Shaker Bottle at their office and asked what was inside. After explaining it was Fortune Delight® and that he felt great, the coworker became excited about the products, making my friend excited to build the business! Timing is everything. This proves we are in the relationship-building business, and when a long-time customer wants to start building the business, you’ll be right there to help.

Life will always change, but you have to be adaptable. If you love what you do, you adapt and move forward.

What we wanted for a long time was affordability. Realizing that the cost of living has gone up for everything, Sunrider drastically reduced product prices in order to make the products available to a larger audience. I also tell people that Sunrider doesn’t make much money on the SunBars, but still sells this wonderfully delicious, reformulated product so people can enjoy them. 

People Sheryl and Tim haven’t heard from in years are contacting them about the reduced prices—people are excited! For people whose Sunrider business is sluggish, Sheryl tells them to fall in love with their business all over again, and sell that love.

Ray and Trish Holder
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Golden Group Business Leader

Ray educates about the value of Sunrider® products, advocating switching brands to Sunrider to get toxins out of your home and products in that are safe for your children. He is excited about the reduced product prices, because it’s easier to promote the products in terms of quality and value.

Ray:

The plan is easier to explain. Focus on the value. Talk about what other companies put in their products and it makes our job easier.


Our customers use the money they save (because of the reduced pricing) to try new products they always wanted to try, but didn’t have the money to do so. They want more products because we’ve always taught our group about the value of the foods.

Ray identifies consumers when a new person talks about the products or health issues, and finds business builders at trade shows, home shows, and health shows, where Ray participates as an exhibitor. When crowds die down, Ray visits other booths and swaps information. He gives samples of SunBreeze® Oil and shares the income opportunity. If interested, he asks them to fill out a form regarding what they were interested in. No later than 24-48 hours afterward, he follows-up and schedules a one-on-one meeting. If they’re married, he tries to coordinate the meeting so that both spouses are there. Face time is very important, so Ray is very flexible about the meeting place. He prepares samples of Calli®, and SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse, but keeps the demos simple and short.

He then explains that he and Trish have been with Sunrider for 21 years, Sunrider is located in over 40 countries, and has been in business for over 28 years. If there is time, they use a laptop to show Sunrider’s introduction video. If going into an in-depth presentation, they will walk them through the tools on the corporate website. They also hold regular meetings every two weeks and occasional product fairs. When they hold Kandesn® meetings, they use their camera to take before and after photos for guests that want to see the amazing results of their makeover.

In terms of building a business with Sunrider, Ray asks his guests what their needs are and what a comfortable time commitment would be. He finds most people just need another $500-$1,000 to make ends meet and he lets them know that’s not a stretch to achieve.*

Timing is also important. Ray’s sister-in-law joined Sunrider in 1994 but her husband didn’t help build their Sunrider business until after the recent cruise when his eyes were opened to Sunrider’s amazing income opportunity. In 16 years, he never offered a testimony in a Sunrider meeting, until after this recent trip, and now he is building the business alongside his wife!

The new business plan is also easier to present to young people, because it’s easy to explain and show them how to earn money.
