Synergy Founder Dan Higginson was involved at a young age with the Stephen R. Covey Leadership Center. He would travel from company to company as a consultant, training on the principles found in Covey’s bestselling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. At one point, Dan was assigned to work with a number of direct-selling companies, each of which he initially approached with much skepticism. However, it wasn’t long before he came to realize that direct-selling companies were not bad at all— In fact, a direct-selling company could be great, on one condition: that great people would become involved.
In 2000, just one year after the company launched, Synergy pioneers were presented with an offer from the reputable industry-giant, Nature’s Sunshine Products. Time and time again, Nature’s Sunshine had proven to be a force for advancing health and wellness using exceptional products and enabling steady growth. Realizing that Synergy had a strong, enviable foundation in Japan fueled by correct business values, Nature’s Sunshine was interested in acquiring the young company and willing to allow Synergy to maintain its brand and business structure. Synergy, of course, would benefit from the acquisition in a myriad of ways. The incredible manufacturing facility, the capable and credible legal resources, the years of industry expertise— all this added fuel to the fire of momentum that the Synergy pioneers had been working to create.
