EDITOR'S<br />

LETTER<br />

Let’s go!<br />

“We’re always progressing, getting better and better.” I ran across<br />

this quote from my father, Dr. Tei-Fu Chen, founder of Sunrider,<br />

while working on this issue of the <strong>SunWriter</strong> magazine. I found<br />

it while reading a publication from 2012, yet the statement is still<br />

relevant today. It cuts to the core about what Sunrider strives for.<br />

We’re always innovating to stay ahead of the competition. We look<br />

back into the fields of the past only to get better, moving onward<br />

into the harvest of the future.<br />

In 2017, we successfully rolled out a new compensation plan in<br />

50 countries. If you have questions about the new plan, we have<br />

answers on page 18. We also recently launched new shakes, which<br />

are standing out in the crowd. Head to page 6 to learn more about<br />

the regenerative nutrition behind these concentrated herbal foods.<br />

WENDY TENG<br />

manages the development of<br />

Sunrider’s packaging, marketing<br />

collateral, advertisements,<br />

websites, marketing strategy,<br />

and product promotions.<br />

She earned a Juris Doctor<br />

from Duke Law School and a<br />

bachelor’s degree in English and<br />

Biology from the University of<br />

California, Los Angeles.<br />

There’s also a lot of excitement around the Slim Down Challenge,<br />

one of our MAPs that was presented during the 2017 Grand<br />

Convention. The Slim Down Challenge is becoming one of the<br />

favorite tools of IBOs and ABOs to promote their businesses, and<br />

you can read some of their success stories on page 16. And for help<br />

on healthy living, nutrition, and fitness, we have top advice from our<br />

experts: Elise Hartley and Dr. Reuben Chen on page 4.<br />

2018 is moving forward with a clean slate—ready to be filled with<br />

goals, accomplishments, and incalculable possibilities. Let’s fill it<br />

with the greatest of our stories yet…let’s go Sunriders.<br />

HOW<br />

TO<br />

ON A FITNESS PROGRAM<br />

Elise Hartley, Certified SunFit ® Trainer<br />

START<br />

& STAY<br />

We all know that sticking to a healthy routine of<br />

eating well and staying fit throughout the year can be<br />

challenging. So we’d like to give you some tips that will<br />

help you focus on your goals and give you the best<br />

chance of following through.<br />

LET’S START WITH EXERCISE<br />

If you are new to fitness routines, a good place to begin<br />

is with Sunrider’s Fitness Brigade ® Exercise System, a<br />

powerful resource for weight loss that’s ideal for beginners<br />

and experienced fitness enthusiasts alike. Go to Sunrider’s<br />

fitnessbrigade.com or sunfit.com for more info.<br />

If you’re intimidated initially by the types of<br />

exercises, start with the modified versions, with the goal<br />

of completing each video in its entirety. The modified<br />

versions will give your body a chance to acclimate to the<br />

sequences before tackling the more advanced moves.<br />

If you’re a fitness warrior but still struggling with<br />

that last bit of weight you’re trying to lose, incorporate<br />

a “Fitness Friday” using Fitness Brigade’s high-intensity<br />

workouts, which will likely get you over the hump.<br />

If you find that Fitness Brigade isn’t for you, then try<br />

something else instead that incorporates both cardio<br />

and strength training. You’re more likely to stick<br />

with something you enjoy, so do what works for you.<br />

Some options might be brisk walking, cycling, running,<br />

swimming, group fitness, or yoga. Aim to exercise from 3<br />

to 5 times a week for approximately 30 minutes a session<br />

and then gradually increase frequency, time, and workout<br />

intensity as you progress. Remember, you get out what<br />

you put in.<br />

SLIM DOWN CHALLENGE<br />

Another effective way you can lose weight, while at the<br />

same time promote your business, is doing a Slim Down<br />

Challenge. It involves participants committing to lose 4%<br />

of their body weight over 4 weeks, supported by the use<br />

of 4 key Sunrider ® products. The great thing about the<br />

challenge is that you don’t have to do it alone—you’re in<br />

it together with other participants, supporting each other<br />

along the way.<br />

For detailed info on how it all works, read the “The Slim<br />

Down Challenge Is On” article in this magazine (page 16).<br />

If you want to blast calories while learning some fun<br />

dance moves, check out our SunFit ® Beat: Hip-Hop<br />

Dance series. The videos include tutorials on different<br />

dance routines that break down each step. Also try the<br />

SunFit ® exercise series, demonstrated by Dr. Reuben<br />

Chen, which is a great way to learn proper form for<br />

performing a variety of foundational exercises. These<br />

videos can be found on the Sunrider Business Center by<br />

clicking on Marketing Approach Plans (MAPs) and then<br />

selecting Slim Down Challenge.<br />

04 | SUNWRITER SPRING 2018


FITNESS PROGRAM |<br />

Once you’ve established the “what” of your fitness<br />

program, you need to make sure you stay motivated.<br />

One of the main reasons people don’t stay committed to<br />

their program is lack of motivation. Set yourself up for<br />

success by following these tips:<br />

STAY THE COURSE<br />

AND CR<strong>US</strong>H YOUR GOAL!<br />

1. Plan your workouts and meals in advance.<br />

2. Tell your friends about the Slim Down Challenge and<br />

ask for encouragement.<br />

3. Have a mantra or a phrase that you repeat like,<br />

“Every day I do this, I get stronger.” Or, “I will commit<br />

to this today.” Repeating phrases like these can help<br />

you follow through.<br />

4. Write encouraging notes to yourself and place them<br />

around the house in visible locations.<br />

5. Workout with friends and enjoy the social connection.<br />

6. Keep a journal of your workouts, measurements,<br />

weight loss, and milestones. Track your progress and<br />

refer back to it when you need some added motivation.<br />

7. Don’t get discouraged. Tell yourself each time you<br />

complete your workout that you will feel much better<br />

after you’ve done it, and you will be one step closer to<br />

meeting your goal.<br />

“BE A PRODUCT OF THE PRODUCT”<br />

Another fitness motivator to keep in mind is the<br />

importance of setting a good example to your downline.<br />

By using Sunrider ® products and doing the workouts,<br />

you will naturally look and feel your best. Sharing<br />

your own fitness success story about how Sunrider has<br />

transformed your life also supports what you are sharing<br />

and recommending.<br />

Although exercise is an important factor<br />

in a weight-loss program, diet is equally<br />

important.<br />

Here are some ways to help you keep your food intake in check<br />

and avoid the common traps associated with weight gain:<br />

1. Plan your meals ahead and pack your lunch when<br />

you’re traveling or running errands. Make sure to give<br />

yourself a healthy daily dose of fruits and vegetables and<br />

stay hydrated.<br />

2. Cook healthy. Reduce butter and fats in recipes, avoid<br />

excess sugar, and use only lean meats.<br />

3. Stay away from heavy cream, oils, and cheese in your<br />

dishes. Although you might compromise a little on the<br />

taste, the benefits will be worth it.<br />

4. When eating out, choose healthy options and don’t<br />

splurge during the holidays.<br />

5. Plan to eat before going to parties, so that you aren’t<br />

tempted when you arrive. Opt for the fruit and vegetable<br />

tray and keep your alcohol intake to a minimum.<br />

6. At potluck parties, be sure to make something tasty<br />

and healthy that you’ll enjoy eating, in case healthy<br />

selections are limited.<br />

7. Eat in moderation. It’s not necessary to deny yourself<br />

any food and don’t beat yourself up if you overindulge.<br />

Just get back on track at your next meal.<br />

Whichever fitness plan you pursue, stay focused and<br />

motivated, and continue to work toward your goal!<br />

SHAKES<br />

Revitalizing Nutrition That Stands Out In The Crowd<br />

Sunrider ® shakes are one hundred percent plant based, zero percent gimmicky, so you can share them with your<br />

customers and downline with full confidence. Like every single one of our products, they are based on Dr. Tei-Fu Chen’s<br />

Philosophy of Regeneration ® . This philosophy condenses thousands of years of Chinese herbal wisdom and synergizes it<br />

with Western scientific discoveries to nourish and balance the body the natural way.<br />

Each serving of our shakes is loaded with protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and more. We use real foods not chemicals, and<br />

we take meticulous care when harvesting, selecting, and processing our ingredients to ensure you get balanced nutrition<br />

Most protein shakes out there carry a lot sugars, synthetic vitamins, and artificial flavors. In contrast, our philosophy and<br />

owner’s expertise have allowed us to create these 4 mouth-watering shakes without altering, and even enhancing, the<br />

nutritional value of their ingredients.<br />

Here’s a guide you can use when talking about our shakes with your prospects:<br />

| SUNRIDERS UNITE<br />

SUNRIDERS<br />

UNITE<br />

TO RAISE<br />

FUNDS FOR<br />

DISASTER RELIEF<br />

Sunrider reaches out to its IBOs and staff in fundraising drives to aid victims of<br />

devastating hurricanes.<br />

From hurricanes and flooding to earthquakes and<br />

landslides, 2017 was hit by a record-breaking number of<br />

deadly natural disasters. Among these was Hurricane<br />

Harvey, an extremely destructive Atlantic hurricane that<br />

became the first major hurricane to make landfall in the<br />

United States since 2005. In a four-day period in August<br />

2017, the system meandered over eastern Texas and<br />

adjacent waters, causing catastrophic flooding, inundating<br />

hundreds of thousands of homes, displacing more than<br />

30,000 people, and prompting more than 17,000 rescues.<br />

Later in the fall of 2017, the one-two punch of Hurricane<br />

Irma and Hurricane Maria hit regions in and across the<br />

Florida Keys, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico. Irma was the<br />

strongest Atlantic basin hurricane ever recorded, and its<br />

winds devastated the island nation of Barbuda, damaging<br />

95% of the buildings there.<br />

Maria hit the <strong>US</strong> territory of Puerto Rico in the middle of<br />

September. It was the first Category 4 hurricane to directly<br />

impact the island in 85 years, and its damage was sprawling.<br />

In the immediate aftermath, nearly all of Puerto Rico's two<br />

million citizens were without power. To date, many of them<br />

are still in need of basic supplies and amenities.<br />

In response to these disasters, Sunrider organized two<br />

fundraising campaigns spearheaded by Dr. Tei-Fu and<br />

Dr. Oi-Lin Chen, pledging to match donations contributed<br />

by its staff and IBOs in the U.S. and Canada. The combined<br />

amount for the two campaigns totaled more than<br />

$50,000. Much of this amount was given to Direct Relief, a<br />

humanitarian aid organization whose work has earned wide<br />

recognition from independent charity evaluators, including a<br />

100% fundraising efficiency rating from Forbes.<br />

| INCOME CLAIMS<br />

DOs &<br />

THE<br />

DON´Ts<br />

OF INCOME CLAIMS<br />

Imagine that you earned a big bonus from Sunrider and were presented with an<br />

oversized cardboard check on stage during convention. You’re proud of the check<br />

and want to post it on Facebook. No problem, right? Wrong.<br />

The danger here is that by doing this you could lose your<br />

distributorship and place the company in jeopardy with the<br />

Federal Trade Commission (FTC).<br />

The example depicted above is related to a prevalent<br />

problem in the network marketing industry referred<br />

to as improper income claims. An income/earnings<br />

claim is a statement made by a company or its<br />

representative about the income an individual can<br />

earn from a business opportunity.<br />

THE FTC MANDATES THAT<br />

IT’S ILLEGAL TO MAKE<br />

MISLEADING STATEMENTS<br />

ABOUT INCOME.<br />

And examples of “misleading” cover a broad spectrum.<br />

At one end are actions that may appear harmless, such as<br />

stating actual earnings that you or someone makes if they<br />

are higher than average earnings. Showing your check—<br />

even an ordinary one—to prospects, and again, posting a<br />

photo of your check on social media is prohibited.<br />

Furthermore, the FTC doesn’t allow you to tell prospects<br />

about (or show photos that depict) lavish lifestyles.<br />

This means no scenes of exotic travel, fancy cars, lavish<br />

mansions, and yachts when prospecting. You also can’t<br />

tell someone that they can quit their job and easily earn as<br />

much doing a network marketing business.<br />

On the extreme side are examples of people doing things<br />

that can be viewed as unethical. For example, some top<br />

earners show their big bonus checks to prospects to entice<br />

them to join. Some even exaggerate or lie about how much<br />

they make to attract others. And it’s not uncommon for<br />

distributors to project examples of incredible incomes that<br />

can be earned as a distributor.<br />

The “income proposition” is the engine that drives many<br />

businesses in network marketing, so the FTC is vigilant and<br />

comes down hard on violators.<br />

12 | SUNWRITER SPRING 2018


INCOME CLAIMS |<br />

SO, FACED WITH ALL OF THESE<br />

PROHIBITED PRACTICES,<br />

WHAT CAN YOU DO?<br />

Share the types of bonuses that new IBOs can earn. You<br />

can tell prospects about Sunrider’s Retail Sales Bonus,<br />

the Fast Start Bonus, the Unilevel Bonus, and the Star Elite<br />

Advancement Bonus.<br />

While you can’t provide prospects with modeled income<br />

scenarios (for example: if you recruit two people a month<br />

for three months, you can earn $1,000), you can ask your<br />

prospects to provide the scenarios they think they can<br />

achieve. For example, ask them, “How much volume do<br />

you think you can sell?”<br />

Based on their answer, you can show them how to calculate<br />

how much they could make on the Retail Sales Bonus using<br />

our Compensation Plan Brochure. You can tell them they<br />

can earn a $100 advancement bonus when they reach Star<br />

Elite in their first three months and that they can earn a<br />

$500 advancement bonus when they reach Ace Royal.<br />

The bottom line is that making false or misleading income<br />

claims in the network marketing industry is prohibited.<br />

Results always vary. How much you or someone in your<br />

upline makes has no impact on how much someone else will<br />

make in the business. Like in any other business, it takes<br />

hard work and persistence to achieve success.<br />

HONESTY AND MODESTY<br />

WORK BEST IN THIS<br />

B<strong>US</strong>INESS.<br />

Earning trust is invaluable in growing your business.<br />

Good business conduct will ensure that those whom you<br />

sponsor don't feel misled or deceived, and as a result, will be<br />

more likely to stick with you.<br />

FAQ<br />

Q: What if a prospect asks me how much money I make<br />

in my business?<br />

A: Simply tell them that the FTC forbids you from<br />

disclosing your income if it’s above the average. (You<br />

can, however, share the average earnings disclaimer.) This<br />

allows you to avoid setting false expectations and at the<br />

same time demonstrates integrity. As their sponsor, it’s<br />

your role to help them avoid the landmines that may hurt<br />

them and their business.<br />

Rather than talking about your<br />

income or showing them your<br />

check, share the average earnings<br />

disclaimer from Sunrider.<br />

Earnings stated are not necessarily representative or typical of earnings<br />

Sunrider Independent Business Owners (IBOs) can or will earn through<br />

participation in the Sunrider Infinity Compensation Plan. These statements<br />

should not be considered as guarantees or projections of your actual<br />

earnings or profits. The average annual income of active Sunrider IBOs<br />

based on the months they were active was calculated using January 2018<br />

income data, as that was the first month the compensation plan was in effect<br />

in its entirety, and then annualized. The calculated average annual income of<br />

an active IBO is $4,394.65. An active Sunrider IBO is an IBO who has 100 PV<br />

or more in a month. As with any other independent business, success results<br />

only from dedicated sales efforts, hard work, diligence, and leadership.<br />

| THE SLIM DOWN CHALLENGE<br />

UNWANTED WEIGHT, PREPARE TO DISAPPEAR<br />

THE<br />

SLIM<br />

DOWN<br />

CHALLENGE IS ON<br />

Hundreds around the world are accepting the challenge, and<br />

the results are nothing short of amazing.<br />

The Slim Down Challenge is one of Sunrider’s MAPs<br />

(Marketing Approach Plans). These highly effective<br />

tools are helping IBOs and ABOs grow their businesses<br />

like never before. Filled with fun and camaraderie, and<br />

backed by Sunrider’s best plant based products for weight<br />

management, the Slim Down Challenge is becoming an<br />

inspirational way to demonstrate that good nutrition and<br />

group support make anything possible.<br />

WHY THE CHALLENGE WORKS<br />

The Slim Down Challenge is based on 4 pillars for<br />

success: Socialization, Results, Recognition, and<br />

Follow-Up. People meet every week to share their stories,<br />

their ups and downs, and their determination to win. They<br />

talk about our products, give and receive support from one<br />

another, and hold each other accountable.<br />

“The fun part was receiving feedback from group<br />

members and the supportive setting,” says Limor H.<br />

from Israel, who completed her first Slim Down Challenge<br />

right after Grand Convention 2017. “Being part of a group<br />

really helped me stay on track. Plus, it has been a great<br />

promotional tool for my Sunrider business.”<br />

When the challenge ended, Limor showed to some of<br />

her friends her “before and now” photos, and the award<br />

she received. They all got super excited. “I made 2 new<br />

customers along the way and have 4 people ready to join<br />

me on my next Slim Down Challenge,” she adds.<br />

HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS<br />

• People willing to enter the Slim Down Challenge pay a<br />

small participation fee of $40 to create a money pot<br />

• They commit to lose 4% of body weight during a period<br />

of 4 weeks<br />

• The participants who accomplish their weight loss goal<br />

will split the pot that comes from the $40 participation<br />

fee, minus 10% ($4) that will be used toward recognition<br />

and rewards<br />

• IBOs and ABOs will host a weekly meeting to share<br />

nutritional and fitness tips, and to encourage the use of<br />

4 Sunrider ® products: SunTrim ® Shake, SunFit ®<br />

Protein Plus, Fortune Delight ® , and VitaTaste ®<br />

• Participants are encouraged to post their<br />

recipes and results on Social Media using<br />

thehashtags: #IacceptTheChallenge #Sunrider,<br />

#SlimDownChallenge, #LoveShareLead<br />

• IBOs and ABOs running the challenge will create followup<br />

groups using instant messaging platforms like<br />

WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, etc.<br />

four phases:<br />

• Getting Started<br />

The new Sunrider compensation plan streamlines a<br />

clear path to success. It’s designed to get you off to a<br />

fast start and to progress steadily.<br />

• Growing Your Team<br />

Share your passion and knowledge with your team to<br />

build a robust, sustainable business.<br />

That’s extraordinary.<br />

• Maximizing Your Potential<br />

Reach the top levels to take full advantage of the<br />

plan’s incentive-rich structure and incredible<br />

earning potential.<br />

3. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PLAN<br />

BON<strong>US</strong>ES? HOW ARE THEY TIED TO<br />

EACH OF THE PHASES?<br />

Our plan pays out 9 different bonuses, which are<br />

tied to the 4 phases as shown below:<br />

• Getting Started:<br />

1. Retail Sales Bonus<br />

2. Fast Start Bonus,<br />

3. Unilevel Bonus, and<br />

18 | SUNWRITER SPRING 2018


INFINITY COMPENSATION PLAN FAQ |<br />

6. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE<br />

BETWEEN PV AND DV?<br />

Personal Volume (PV) is the qualifying volume of you<br />

and your customers (retail and preferred).<br />

Downline Volume (DV) is the qualifying volume<br />

of you, your customers, and all of the IBOs in your<br />

organization and their customers.<br />

7. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN<br />

A BUILDER LEG AND THE MAX VOLUME<br />

RULE? WHY DO YOU HAVE THEM?<br />

<br />

A Builder Leg is a leg with one Active IBO (200 PV) and<br />

at least 1,000 DV in a given month.<br />

Max Volume Rule applies to DV only. Only up to 50%<br />

of the total required monthly DV may be counted from<br />

any one leg or from the IBO’s own PV for qualification<br />

purposes only.<br />

These are introduced to help IBOs create more stability<br />

in their organization and to discourage inventory<br />

loading. Having 4–6 strong legs is much more stable<br />

and sustainable than having just 1 strong leg.<br />

8. WHY IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON<br />

THE FAST START BON<strong>US</strong> AND STAR<br />

ELITE ADVANCEMENT BON<strong>US</strong>?<br />

A new IBO’s first three months is the most important<br />

time period for their retention and success. These<br />

bonuses incentivize the IBO and their sponsor to help<br />

them start selling and sponsoring right away. It also<br />

gives them immediate, reachable goals for success and<br />

makes the business worth their time.<br />

9. WHY SHOULD YOU WORK TOWARD<br />

DEVE<strong>LO</strong>PING LEADERS?<br />

Sunrider’s leaders are heroes to their downline, and<br />

we reward them for inspiring and mentoring others.<br />

As a Hero or above, you not only deepen your Unilevel<br />

Bonuses to 5 levels, but start qualifying for our amazing<br />

Turbo Infinity Bonus, which allows you to earn from Level<br />

6 down infinitely deep within your organization, and<br />

Check Match, where you can earn on your Ace Royals<br />

and above. These bonuses are so powerful because you<br />

can earn in multiple ways on the same volume.<br />

10. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO TAKE<br />

ADVANTAGE OF THIS NEW PLAN?<br />

There are 4 steps to successfully “work the plan”:<br />

1. Be an example of selling and sponsoring,<br />

2. Find your rising stars (the IBOs who are actively<br />

selling and sponsoring),<br />

3. Help your rising stars advance in rank, and<br />

4. Overbuild so you have multiple legs and depth for<br />

a strong foundation.<br />

WHAT OUR IBOs ARE SAYING<br />

ABOUT THE NEW PLAN<br />

"Sunrider has made it really simple for us to<br />

share the new plan with everyone. I simply use the<br />

PowerPoint slides and videos they have prepared<br />

to spark interest. There are many ways to earn and<br />

that get people very excited.”<br />

– Bobbi H.<br />

Icon, <strong>US</strong>A<br />

“The new plan truly rewards your efforts! We<br />

worked harder during the past three months and<br />

our income increased in great proportion.”<br />

– Esti and Joseph K.<br />

Newly qualified Ace Royal, Israel<br />

“The plan has bonuses and promotions that help<br />

the new IBOs grow faster. And when your downline<br />

grows you grow, and everybody wins.”<br />

2017, and my goal is to reach Icon this year.<br />

Sunrider is the best!”<br />

before. I’m holding business meetings every week,<br />

products, but now we also have the best-in-its-class<br />

compensation plan.”<br />

– Lee Yin-Chiang<br />

Ace Royal, Taiwan.<br />

| BOOST YOUR B<strong>US</strong>INESS<br />

A CLEAN, GREEN WAY TO<br />

BOOST YOUR B<strong>US</strong>INESS<br />

Visiting the home of a prospect or customer is a great way to promote and sell<br />

Sunrider ® household products<br />

It gives you a chance to talk about product benefits and<br />

prove their effectiveness with hands-on demonstrations. At<br />

the person’s home, begin by gathering all of their cleaning<br />

products. Place them on a table with the Sunrider ®<br />

household products next to them.<br />

Inspect the ingredients. Show the person the labels<br />

on their cleaning products. How many potentially hazardous<br />

ingredients are there in each of them? Now look at<br />

Sunrider’s products. They’re nontoxic and made with natural<br />

ingredients. While typical cleaning products are loaded<br />

with chemicals that are dangerous to keep in your home and<br />

harmful to the environment, Sunrider’s household products<br />

are safe for people, pets, and the environment.<br />

Demonstrate the difference. Do a demo that<br />

shows the effectiveness and and versatility of SunBright ®<br />

SuperClean Household. Pick a few places in the house<br />

to clean. Choose areas that are well lit and have some dirt,<br />

so that they’ll look better after cleaning. Windowsills and<br />

tabletops are good areas for this.<br />

Explain how Sunrider ® products are highly concentrated and<br />

that you only need to use a little bit to get fantastic results.<br />

Point out how this one product does the job of multiple<br />

household cleaning products, cutting out the clutter and<br />

need for dish soap, glass cleaner, and spray cleaner. You can<br />

use it virtually anywhere in your home: in the dishwasher,<br />

on appliances, on walls, on glass, on your car, and on almost<br />

any type of floor—even carpet!<br />

Other cleaners have strong fumes that can leave you<br />

with a headache or worse. This citrus-scented formula<br />

uses, essential oils like lemongrass oil and tea tree oil to<br />

make your living environment clean and naturally fresh<br />

smelling.<br />

SunBright ® SuperClean Laundry is another good<br />

product to contrast with other brands, which are typically<br />

loaded with toxic chemicals and artificial fragrances. Why<br />

would you want those on your clothes, in contact with your<br />

skin, or floating through the air in your home?<br />

Many popular laundry detergents contain harsh<br />

surfactants that remove oils from the clothes, but they<br />

don’t wash out in the rinse. When these remain on the<br />

clothes, they can strip away oils on our skin, which can<br />

cause irritation and aggravate skin conditions.<br />

Phosphate free, biodegradable, and eco friendly, our<br />

hypoallergenic formula is kind to waterways and<br />

completely safe for your family. SunBright ® SuperClean<br />

Laundry lets you clean your clothes safely. It’s economical<br />

too; just half a capful gets a regular load of laundry clean,<br />

bright, and fresh.<br />

You can also share how SunBright ® Bleach gets washables<br />

their brightest without the use of chlorine, a chemical<br />

element that not only harms the environment, but can also<br />

irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Its natural<br />

formula whitens and brightens without stripping color<br />

from fabrics. This nontoxic, eco-friendly formula brightens<br />

and cleans laundry, upholstery, and appliances.<br />

To dramatically show how effective our produce rinse is<br />

(especially compared with plain tap water), do a SunSmile ®<br />

Fruit & Vegetable Rinse demonstration with broccoli<br />

heads. To see how to do the demo, you can watch the<br />

video titled “Sunrider SunSmile ® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse<br />

Vegetable Cleaning Demonstration” on the Sunrider<br />

International YouTube channel.<br />

Finally make sure to invite your guests to try the products<br />

too. You never know how many products will be sold, and<br />

they’ll love seeing how sparkling clean and refreshed their<br />

home becomes.<br />

Closing. After your demonstration and talking about<br />

the products, have order forms ready or the Shop Online<br />

website open on a device for easy ordering. Prompt the<br />

guests and let them choose by asking, “Which products<br />

would you like to get today?” Help them order and make<br />

suggestions about complementary products.<br />

HO<strong>US</strong>EHOLD HAZARDS:<br />

It’s estimated that the typical American home contains<br />

3–10 gallons of toxic materials—everything from glass and<br />

bathroom cleaners to garden pesticides and fertilizers.<br />

Toddlers and young children are especially vulnerable,<br />

partly because of exposure, as they virtually live on the<br />

floor and tend to put things in their mouths.<br />

The labels on many cleaners have warnings of “Danger”<br />

or “Poison,” and other tell-tale hazard warnings, such as<br />

”corrosive“ or ”may cause burns.“ Avoid products that list<br />

active ingredients of chlorine or ammonia, which can cause<br />

respiratory and skin irritation and will create toxic fumes if<br />

accidentally mixed together.<br />

We are a product of our environment—who and what we<br />

surround ourselves with plays a big part in our success.<br />

When you attend a Sunrider event, you’ll be able to network,<br />

learn from accomplished Sunriders, and experience things<br />

you never would at home.<br />

Build confidence, establish belief<br />

Attending events allows you to see that you’re part of<br />

something much bigger than yourself. Attending Sunrider’s<br />

Grand Convention gives you a deep understanding of our<br />

culture and vision; this in turn makes you more committed<br />

and confident to share Sunrider with others.<br />

Plan to hold events with your leaders<br />

Teach others how to hold their own events. Build and<br />

promote your events so everyone grows together.<br />

Energize yourself and your business<br />

You’ll have the chance to interact with other people who are<br />

excited about making incredible things happen. Where else<br />

but at a Sunrider event can you share ideas and inspiration<br />

with so many like-minded, goal-driven people?<br />

Reinforce relationships<br />

Events are a great time to bond with people on your team<br />

and create a team culture, aspects that can’t be replicated<br />

with video/conference calls. Events are also the perfect time<br />

to recognize others for their achievements, which instills<br />

motivation to grow further.<br />

Lead by example<br />

Remember your team is going to move at the speed of its<br />

leader—YOU. As the leader, you need to set the example. So<br />

the next time you’re thinking about making an excuse to<br />

not attend an event, remember that your team will probably<br />

follow your lead.<br />

Sunrider is a business of the heart<br />

It’s not just about receiving information—it’s about making<br />

an emotional connection and inspiring change and action.<br />

It’s about fellowship and shared dreams. Events are where<br />

all this and more happens.<br />
