Stewart’s Executive Message

Team Members,

I am writing to you from 35,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean en route to an important visit with our Scandinavian markets. As part of my responsibilities, I oversee our growing business in Europe where we are launching our newest Synergy market: Sweden. There is much anticipation and excitement for this market that will open up the way for the many Northern Europeans to take advantage of our world class products and business opportunity. We expect this to be a very successful launch that will create the foundation for a long term, stable business.

You may wonder why I am mentioning a European event in my North American Message. Though you, as a North American Team Member, may not be directly affected by the opening of this new European market, my responsibilities of overseeing Europe and North America can relate to you and your business. You see, it is sometimes an overwhelming task to manage these large and growing markets, and I find it difficult to be everywhere and do everything I need to in order to achieve the expected results. I believe many of you struggle with this same sense of responsibility and strain on your time and abilities as you work to direct your organizations and achieve personal and group success. Managing a business is a daunting task; however, the stress and difficulties can be lessened through a concept that is often mentioned but rarely incorporated effectively. That concept is duplication.

In order to be an effective manager, leader, coach, or Team Member, you must set the precedence of action and train your Team Members so that they will possess the same skills you do. Then they can act on your behalf and, in that way, multiply your efforts. You will be most effective as you build a strong team of capable and confident individuals who in essence serve as an extension of you as you all work toward mutual goals. For example, even though I am over 6,000 miles away from corporate headquarters, the Fast Start Training program that I implemented was conducted by a talented and hard working individual who I knew was capable of handling the task. Even though I did not personally conduct the training, I felt confident that my goals and vision were carried on through the efforts of others who were duplicating my methods and plans. We cannot be everywhere at all times. It is important that we find ways and means to create duplicable plans and thereby multiply our efforts.

A great part of network marketing is that it is a team effort. When you create a team of bright, motivated individuals and set up a business plan that includes the following three steps of duplication, you are empowering your group to succeed and you will relieve your personal responsibilities and expand your efforts.

The first step of duplication is to create a system that provides each new Team Member with a road map that will lead them to success if they choose to follow. This system needs to include specific training on our company, products, and business opportunity. Our new Fast Start Training program can give your Team Members this type of training. Whether or not you use this tool, your system needs to be easy to follow but detailed enough to provide effective learning and result in real understanding. Then, as your new Team Members come to understand the core concepts of Synergy, they can duplicate the training and pass it on to their new enrollees. Without some type of system in place you are merely hoping your Team Members will become successful. You cannot afford to hope; you need to proactively ensure they have the knowledge and training necessary to become successful.

Second, you need to focus as much as possible on developing leaders. Not everyone will become a leader in this business and that’s okay. Most will become involved because they love our products and want to experience the health benefits the products provide. Others will desire to work the business part time and have some success. A few will catch the vision and realize that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will decide to devote a great amount of time and energy to building a strong, stable organization that provides leveraged residual income. These are the leaders that will become the heart of your team. You need to focus on developing these leaders through your communication, motivation and recognition efforts. Look to them for ideas as you create your business plan and make sure they know you appreciate their input. Take on a leadership role within your group while continuing to recognize the contributions, abilities, and success of your group leaders. As you do so, your leaders will follow your lead and step up to the leadership role in their own teams. Developing leaders within your organizations will provide more strength and success than almost any other single thing you can do.

Third and most important, you need to lead by example. The key to duplication is to conduct your business in such a way that, when repeated by your Team Members, can bring them success as well. If you create and incorporate a successful system, your group will too. If you consistently recruit and bring new people into the business, your Team Members will too. They will follow your lead as you hold meetings, conference calls, and other training programs. Don’t expect to see results in others that you have not taught or done yourself. Often times I hear leaders remark that they are too busy “supporting” their groups to be recruiting or holding meetings and trainings. My response is that they are focused on the wrong things and, consequently, growth will not come as quickly. If you want to be successful in this business you must lead by example and be active. There are no shortcuts to success in network marketing. However, if you are willing to pay the price through hard work and focused duplication, the rewards will be greater than you could ever imagine.

If you are committed and establish a firm business plan that includes building your team through duplication, you will climb the ranks and achieve the results you desire.

All the best,

Stewart Rutter
Executive Director, North America

Have you seen the new Green Giant vegetable commercial?

They tell you that most vegetables loose 65% of their nutritional value 12 hours after they are picked. Now I am not sure this is correct but I am sure they loose some. But the commercial goes on to say that they freeze their vegetables within 6 hours of picking, holding in the nutritional value.

Well if you are concerned that you are not getting all the nutrients your body needs from vegetables then take a look at Synergy’s CoreGreens. It is packed with all the green vegetables you could imagine, even some you may not normally think of.

Just to the Synergy Site and read more about CoreGreens

I want to first thank you for stopping in and reading my message to the world. I hope some of the information I provide is helpful and interesting.

I have found a way to control my blood sugar and keep my diabetes in check and my goal is to provide you with some information that may help yourself or others close to you. This information is not just for people with diabetes, it is for everyone.

Many of the health conditions people face today is from poor diet and not enough exercise. But if we break this down just a little more we find that the root of many health conditions is from poor blood circulation, diet and exercise only help with our circulation. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women today, increasing our blood flow helps reduce this risk. People with diabetes have more than double the risk of heart disease. But how can we improve our circulation? Well as I mentioned exercise is one main factor, eating healthy is the next factor and adding the proper nutrients our bodies need is a very important factor.

Getting the proper nutrients is where Synergy comes into play. I know what you are thinking, just another company trying to promote products. Well yes, like every company on the face of the planet is trying to do the same, but how do you choose. Providing you with the right information to help you make an educated decisions is my goal.

I have tried thousands of dollars of different products and found Synergy’s products help me the most. I have also personally talked with others that have had amazing results. As I continue to write in this blog, I hope I can provide information that is helpful. As this blog grows it will have a lot more information on diabetes, heart disease and just overall good health. I don’t care if you buy products from me or someone else, I just want to help others regain their health, but it would be my pleasure to help you with the Synergy products.

The group I am working with has a goal to save One Million lives, now I want to be part of this groups success.
