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 />

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<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 />

features, but let’s start at the beginning.<br />
2. HOW DOES ONE WORK THIS PLAN?<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 />
• Developing Your Leaders<br />
By inspiring and guiding rising stars to success, you<br />
reap the rewards when you help others succeed.<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 />

9. Icon Bonus<br />
4. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PAID-AS<br />
TITLES IN THE PLAN?<br />
Independent Business Owner (IBO),<br />
Star Star Prime Star Elite <br />

4 bonuses, which rewards selling and starting a team:<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 />
– Saihlupii<br />
Hero Elite, India.<br />
“Thanks to the new plan I feel ambitious and<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 />

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 />
