With the Elite Honours program in full swing, Team Members have been building stronger businesses through defined monthly goals.

In November, 349 Team Members in Europe became Elite Honours Qualified. That means at least 349 new distributors were enrolled and more than 1,000 customers latched onto Synergy products. Team Members who are becoming Elite Honours Qualified have found that the Elite Honours earnings model is exactly what their businesses were missing.

Congratulations to the many who are finding success through Elite Honours thus far! Here are a few insights from our newest Elite Honours Qualifiers regarding their success with Elite Honours:

Christine & Hansy Herrmann, Germany

“When we learned about Elite Honors, we were immediately impressed with the system. The first day of every month is the beginning of a new challenge. Our goal is to qualify every month. It is important to obtain this status not only for ourselves, but for our business partners. More members of our team are earning Elite Honors pins every month, and now we will work with our customer base and new business partners to help more earn the pin. We believe a great incentive combined with Elite Honors is the Go Elite bonus. With it, you manage to earn good money in a short time. We get so excited to see the bonuses on our payroll. We want everyone to have success with this great tool and build a long-term and stable Synergy business.”

Daniel & Barbara Krawcewicz, Germany

“Elite Honors and the Go Elite promotion encourages us to show our team the proper way to work. We, as leaders, always go for the promotions Synergy offers, whether it’s an event promotion or business building promotion. We challenge ourselves and our team to earn more through these opportunities. We always want to be a good example to our team. It strengthens the team to work together toward a common goal. Elite Honors has accelerated our revenue growth and every partner benefits. If we set a good example, then we help our Team Members build their businesses. Do not forget to show your partners what works for you, because they will follow your example.”

Cristina Cabañero & Luis Quesada, Spain

"Elite Honors has given us great joy in our business. We have been rewarded since Elite Honors was introduced in Rome and we have qualified every month. We’ve also earned two Go Elite bonuses, which means a significant increase in commissions! Elite Honors provides a professional way to work toward gaining customers, which are a very important part of the business. We want these customers to discover Synergy products’ powerful health benefits and believe in the company. We’ve found that distributors are earning more with fewer Team Members by putting an extra focus on adding customers to their networks. WE want to thank Synergy for introducing Elite Honors and Go Elite and we want this program to become part of the long-term business model. Through it we can Leave a Legacy of health and wealth.”

James Booth, an Irish champion boxer of 17 years and a 20-year martial artist, has been invested in nutrition for decades. He discovered Synergy in 2010 and quickly found that the company’s commitment to quality nutrition paralleled his lifelong beliefs.  In November 2015, his Synergy business M.N.B. Group, achieved Synergy’s Team Director pin level.

It’s clear that no matter what James commits to, whether it’s a business venture or a sport, he knows how to execute. When he began martial arts training, he decided he wanted to be a black belt. When he enrolled as a Synergy distributor, he decided to become an executive leader. As a current Team Director, he is well on his way to this goal.

“If an old guy like me can hit this level, young people should be able to fly by me,” James said. “It doesn’t matter how much education you have, where you live or what ethnicity you are. If you have the desire and the commitment, you can make a success of this business.”

Many of the lessons James learned as a boxer have stuck with him ever since, and they’ve shaped who he is. He said that as a boxer he learned the importance of building a foundation. Athletes who are new to boxing don’t jump in the ring during their first week of training, expecting to win. Rather, this would put them in a degree of danger. This concept also applies to running a Synergy business. It may take a little while to build a foundation for the business, but once it’s established, the possibilities of success are endless.

Though James doesn’t get in the ring anymore, his focus on nutrition hasn’t changed. He believes society is governed by age, when, in reality, age means nothing. Those who tell themselves they are old will act old,  feel old, and eventually stop progressing in life, but James, on the other hand, plans to live until he’s at least 100. He remembers his father telling him that once a person stops dreaming, they’re dead.

Recently, James traveled to Synergy Headquarters with his business partner Dr. Anthony Oketah to tour the new Hughes Center for Research and Innovation, which he said “knocked them dead.” Both he and Dr. Oketah believe that Synergy is the future of health, and their visit to the Hughes Center confirmed it.

“My life has changed completely in the five years I’ve been with Synergy,” James said. “I get paid for the effort I put into my work. Network marketing is a lot like mining. Initially, you put a lot of work into digging every day to find what you’re looking for, but eventually, if you stick with it, you will strike gold.”

An elite group of  Synergy Team Members went beyond the call of duty in November by not only becoming Elite Honors Qualified, but training those they sponsor to become Elite Honors Qualified. By fulfilling the Elite Honors requirements and sponsoring requirements, these Team Members earned Go Elite bonuses based on the number of Elite Honors Qualifiers they sponsored.

Synergy WorldWide paid out €23,150 in Go Elite bonuses in November. Amazing! We hope that this payout will continue to increase until the Go Elite promotion ends on February 29, 2015.

Challenge yourself to Go Elite this month!

There isn’t a better time than the festive season to meet with family, friends and acquaintances, and ask them what their 2015 brought them, what it didn't, and what their hopes and dreams are for 2016 and beyond! With this focus, December can be “the most wonderful time of the year” for your business as well. Over the past 12 years, I have worked with many distributors who have had huge success growing their businesses in December because they took the opportunity to listen to people.

Unfortunately, as leadership skills go, listening isn’t seen as one of the really dynamic ones. Listening is often viewed as a seemingly passive thing that could almost be misconstrued as being a weakness. Great leaders like Winston Churchill are usually notable because of the things they said and taught, not for their listening skills.

However, Churchill was renowned for his ability to sit down and listen to anyone and everyone, and his view on the importance of listening is evidenced by one quote from him: “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."

If you scramble the letters in “listen” you can also make the words “silent” and “enlist”. So I encourage all of you to “enlist” the art of remaining “silent” in order to “listen”. Really listen to what people are looking for in life. I promise you that such an approach has the power to dramatically improve your business. Keep these points in mind as you commit to listen and finish the year strong:

It’s a business, so don’t be tempted to take a month off

Keep your business “merry and bright,” by continuing to build through December. One of the keys to success is consistency, so though it may be tempting to take extra time off for cooking, baking, shopping, and entertainment, make sure you schedule plenty of time to keep building your business. Never put your business on hold; dinner parties, nights out, school plays and Nativities are all great places to grow your contact list. Your contact list is the lifeblood of your Synergy business and you need to add name to that list every day!

Give a life-changing gift this Christmas

As receipts for gifts, food, decorations, and travel pile up, many people feel the financial pressure and stress. There couldn’t be a better time to share Synergy’s powerful financial opportunity with families who are feeling the pinch. Many people every year are putting their Christmas gifts on credit cards. You have the ability to enable them next year to be paying for things with cash! At this time of giving, what better gift can you give than helping someone find financial freedom?

Thank you for all your hard work in building your business in 2015. It truly is my privilege to be working side by side with such dedicated Team Members throughout the UK and Ireland.

I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and hope that 2016 brings you even closer to your hopes and dreams!
