Sunrider Goes to the Oracle

"The great and powerful Oracle. We meet at last.” Agent Smith

Sunrider International, at its core, wants to do everything with excellence. This means sometimes we need to upgrade and change. Because China has the highest number of Sunrider® retail stores, with plans for future expansion, Sunrider took it upon itself to upgrade operational efficiency by implementing Oracle software.

“The all-knowing Oracle is never surprised.” Agent Smith

The Oracle platform will help ensure that Sunrider provides the highest level of customer service by delivering consistent pricing promotions and loyalty programs across all markets. The person at the center of our matrix is Jonathan Chen, IT director, Sunrider International, who says this about the Oracle software:

“Oracle provides us the ability to be able to dynamically adapt to changing market conditions and business needs by giving us information from our manufacturing processes down to our retailers and business owners. Oracle retail applications extend that reach by providing an extensible platform to gather information about our end-customers.”

New review of Sunrider Resume Training with John Teng

Kristy Kurtz in Canada wrote:

“Just want to let you know how much we appreciate the training call John is doing with us in regards to writing our Sunrider resume. I have to admit I am still working on mine! I have been doing some tradeshows lately and can really see the value in having a 30-60 second resume, because at these shows you have a very limited amount of time to talk to someone and get their attention.

As a stay-at-home mother with two small boys in activities and things, I get asked a lot what I do, but often I stumble for the words because I just don't know where to start!”

Aging and Active with Sunrider: 80-Years Old and Sprinting Easily

J.W. Emerson, a 20-year Sunrider and Golden Group Business Leader, was recently inducted into the Pittsburg State University Athletic Hall of Fame for his coaching achievements, taking six losing football clubs and turning them into winners.

Before the induction, J.W. was invited to lead the PSU Gorillas onto the field, sprinting 80 yards to the sidelines. J.W. said, “I really believe they thought I would decline the invitation because of my age—80…The sprint was no problem. I kept up with them every step of the way! I had not sprinted in 35 years, nor am I a runner”.

J.W. attributes this awesome feat to a healthy diet and daily exercise, but most of all he believes Sunrider’s powerful nutrition is the key. “Every day,” he said, “I eat the basic Sunrider® products—NuPlus®, Quinary®, and Calli®…I also consume many other Sunrider® products—they are my groceries! I find that as one ages… you do not have to be feeble or “shuffle” through life. At age 60, I decided to invest in my health and find that with a healthy lifestyle, the golden years are truly golden.”

Stuck in a Workout Rut? Mix It Up!

Has your workout routine become too “routine”? Mine sure had! Every weekend I was running laps at a nearby high school track, like a hamster on a wheel, plodding along in terms of enthusiasm and results. A 45-minute workout seemed to take an eternity. Then I revitalized my regimen simply by using a little creativity. 

I realized I could turn any track, park, or outdoor area into an outdoor gym—a venue offering endless ways to work out. And there are no membership fees or waiting to use equipment!

With this outlook, it was easy for me to ramp up my routine. By keeping the exercise segments brief and dynamic, my workouts never bog down into monotony; they stay fresh and challenging!

Here’s one example of how to break up a 45-minute workout into a fast-moving, calorie-blasting, stress-busting session:

1.    Jog a couple laps to warm up.
2.    Do incline push-ups using a railing or a fence.
3.    Run up bleacher stairs or any inclined area.
4.    Crunch out sit-ups on the grass.
5.    Do jumping-jacks, squats, or lunges.
6.    Alternate running backwards and sideways.
7.    Do 100-yard sprints.
8.    Bring a ball to dribble, kick, and juggle, soccer style.
9.    Cool down with stretching.

Please share the things you do to keep your workouts moving along! 

PS: Stay tuned for a follow-up post about the physical benefits of mixing up your routine.

Sunrider Korea Greets Fall with Herbal Tea Event

 

As outdoor enthusiasts welcomed the beautiful fall foliage that arrived with the season, Sunrider Korea was prepared to add to the seasonal enjoyment by preparing an engaging cho-bon (Korean for “herbal”) tea promotion event. Using picturesque locations frequented by hikers, Sunrider staff set up an impressive booth on two successive weekends that was splashed with autumnal oranges, yellows, and reds, and well stocked with Sunrider® herbal beverages.


 
The first Sunrider® cho-bon event was held November 5–6, at Ne-Jang Mountain in Jun-Buk Province, and the second event was held the following weekend, 12–13, at Buk-Han Mountain, Seoul. During the events, Sunrider staff handed out free samples of Sunrider’s concentrated herbal beverages—Fortune Delight® and Calli®—to all hikers who visited the booth. This provided a great way to let people experience the exceptional quality and healthy, flavorful appeal of these Sunrider classics.


 
Over 8,000 people visited the booth during the first two-day event to sample Sunrider’s signature teas, with over 5,000 people visiting the booth during the next two-day event. These Sunrider events, inspired by the beauty of the fall, proved to be large-scale successes, providing a fun and fitting way to introduce thousands of people to a sampling of Sunrider’s incomparable 
products. 

Sunrider Israel Celebrates Hanukkah

  
In celebration of Hanukkah, a festive candle lighting ceremony was held at the Sunrider Israel offices on Wednesday, December 1, with employees and IBOs.

We lit the first Hanukkah candle in a special wooden Sunrider Hanukkiya, and during the event, jam-filled doughnuts were handed out to all participants. This was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this holy day in a unique and joyful Sunrider atmosphere. We hope you enjoy the 
photos.
