Lauds for Larry, Sunrider’s August Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Larry Burr, our August Employee of the Month. Larry has been with Sunrider nearly 21 years and was initially hired as a customer service rep in our Order Department. He has progressed steadily throughout the years in our customer service areas, and currently holds the position of Business Services Rep IV.

His typical daily duties consist of responding to customer emails, answering phone calls, and processing returns, in addition to a multitude of other various tasks. Larry is a key member of the department and takes his responsibilities very seriously. He works tirelessly to maintain department service levels, while keeping a high degree of customer service.

When department staffing was recently reduced, Larry was asked to take on new duties and additional responsibilities. He didn’t hesitate to agree with a smile and positive attitude. When the phones aren’t ringing and the emails have all been answered, Larry can be found combing the Sunrider website to ensure he has the most recent information to share with our customers.

In addition, Larry is always willing to assist his co-workers whenever the need arises and without being asked. Larry’s team spirit, strong work ethic, and attention to detail make him an extremely valuable member of our Business Services Department.

His unwavering commitment and positive attitude make him an outstanding employee and a worthy recipient of Sunrider’s Employee of the Month award.

Congratulations, Larry!
  
Q1: What is the best thing about being a SR employee? Over my 21 years at Sunrider, I’ve enjoyed helping thousands of our members to improve their nutrition and finances.

Q4: What’s your favorite color? Sky blue

Q5: Do you have any pets? No, but I greatly enjoyed swimming with the dolphins at the 1993 Sunrider Leadership Conference at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Hotel on Kona! :)

Sunrider International Hosts “Tribute to First Responders Luncheon”

On Thursday, September 16, the Harbor City/Harbor Gateway Chamber of Commerce held the Tribute to the First Responders Luncheon at Sunrider International in Torrance, CA.

Some 150 policemen and women, firefighters, paramedics, and more from local police, fire, sheriff, and transportation departments, crises response teams, and other organizations attended in recognition of those who arrive first on the scene of emergencies.

Special guests included Los Angeles County Sheriff, Lee Baca; Steve Napolitano, from the Los Angeles County Supervisor’s office; and Chief Charlie Beck of the Los Angeles Police Department, among others.

As a sponsor and host of the event, Mrs. Chen attended the luncheon and honored guests with a gift bag from Sunrider. John Teng, North American Sales Manager, welcomed the guests on behalf of Sunrider and thanked the first responders for providing the local community with safety and peace of mind. Guests also toured the Chen Art Gallery, which houses the largest private collection of Chinese artifacts in Southern California.

It was a terrific way to recognize those who provide crucial, often life-saving, services in times of crisis. From all of us at Sunrider International, thanks to all the “first responders”—we greatly appreciate everything you do!

Sunrider Shines at the L.A. County Fair

Sunrider International entered the fall season by creating excitement and buzz at the L.A. County Fair, held at the Fairplex in Pomona, California, on Saturday, September 18. This event was a great opportunity to increase Sunrider brand awareness, and the Sunrider team did not disappoint!



With a colorful, active booth, we attracted a lot of visitors all day and into the night. People had the opportunity to sample Fortune Delight® and SunBar®, both the fruit and chocolate flavors, which were a great hit with everyone, especially the kids!




Other popular products included SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse (which our staff did an outstanding job of promoting, as we sold all the products we brought to the fair!) and SunBreeze® Oil, which visitors enjoyed while experiencing a mini massage. Visitors all declared that they felt more relaxed and calmer after the “hands-on” treatment.



Kandesn® Skin Care and Color Cosmetics are always a big attraction and this event was no exception. Ladies enjoyed relaxing with an Oi-Lin® mini facial and a Kandesn® Color “mini makeover.” We helped them match their colors and made quite a few sales. A number of the teenage girls and young ladies were very excited when we demonstrated the difference with Kandesn® foundation. They remarked how it allows the skin to breathe, as opposed to the regular store-bought foundations that suffocate the skin with animal proteins and mineral oils. This demonstration really showcased how we can help every woman to achieve clear and more beautiful, youthful-looking skin. Many ladies were even interested in coming to our Kandesn® Room, located at Sunrider World Headquarters, for a full Kandesn® workshop experience!



It was a brilliant event to engage in one-on-one conversations and to share both the uniqueness of our products and the Philosophy of Regeneration®.  It also gave us an opportunity to hand out literature about the products and our business opportunity that people could review after returning home!

All in all, the L.A. County Fair was a superb venue for Sunrider International. It was a family event and we had something to offer everyone in the family. It gave us a way to continue to make more inroads into the Hispanic community and the Los Angeles market in general.
