Elite Honors Spotlight: Steve & Julie Russon
Month after month, Team Members are discovering just how much is attainable when they set a goal to become Elite Honors Qualified each month. Team Members who have qualified multiple months are seeing the fruits of their labors and some are going the extra mile by maintaining their highest pin titles to earn the Go Elite promotion bonus.

Steve and Julie Russon, Silvers from Pleasant Grove, Utah, recently achieved Elite Honors for the third time and received the Go Elite bonus twice. This hardworking is couple has been with Synergy for 2 ½ years and is not lacking in personality. Steve competes in Scottish games, always sporting a kilt with a Synergy T-shirt, and Julie keeps herself busy supporting their three children and one grandson.  In addition, Steve works as the first assist to an orthopedic surgeon and sees the many ailments people suffer from on a daily basis.

“When we first heard about the Elite Honors model, it seemed familiar, like this is what we were supposed to be doing anyway. Before Elite Honors, we were working, but we were floundering. When Elite Honors was launched, we were really focused on making the customer volume work and focused on getting the signups. It has been a great guide for us. Every day, my husband and I wake up and decide what we need to do to achieve Elite Honors and then we say “Where do we want to go?” It is a morning habit now, like eating breakfast or brushing teeth.

Through Elite Honors, we’ve learned the business building process; we’ve learned how to focus and how to get organized. However, we had to decide that we didn’t want any another option, we wanted this to work. The program has been easy enough and is the reason we wake up with a fixed idea in our minds each morning of what we will accomplish that day. Remember, nothing ever comes easy and it’s a gradual process.

I have a serious appreciation for how devoted Synergy’s leaders are and how they express what Synergy has done for them. Because of this, the Synergy dream is believable and it’s possible. Synergy is a company that will never rip you off. It’s a company that cares and it’s an environment of caring for others.”

Judy Feldhausen, a Silver from Chicago, became Elite Honors Qualifed for the second month in a row and recently earned a $300 Go Elite bonus for maintaining her highest pin title. Though Judy is busy helping her husband with his electrical contracting business, working as a life coach, and traveling to and from Colorado every other month to see her grandchildren, she makes time to actively pursue the Synergy business she has been building for more than two years. Over the last few months, Judy said Elite Honors has helped simplify business building and the way the business is explained to incoming distributors.

“The system has been explained in a very simplistic manner, one that anyone could understand. It makes people understand where their sales need to come from. For me, I like being able to have three areas to focus on. I’ll start with one area of focus, maybe customers, and once that area has been satisfied for the month, I move onto the next thing. Before Elite Honors, my goals were centered around achieving the next pin level. This goal hasn’t changed, but now there is an interim action item that will help me achieve that next level. I’m taking it one bite at a time.

Not only am I trying to achieve Elite Honors Qualification every month, Synergy gives me the help I need to support my team, which lets me know that Team Members and Synergy Headquarters are working as a team. When I support my team I don’t catch a fish for them. I teach them how to catch a fish. If a Team Member is trained well and given all of the resources they need to succeed, Elite Honors is absolutely attainable.”

Elite Honors Spotlight: Scott Jacobs & Melanie O’Neill
With three Elite Honors qualification months behind us, Team Members are continuing to discover just how much is attainable when they set a goal to become Elite Honors Qualified each month.

Scott Jacobs and Melanie O’Neill, a Silver team from Massachusetts, became Elite Honors Qualified for the first time in August after attending Business Builder Conference 2015 in Salt Lake City. Complementing each other perfectly, Scott is the face of the business while Melanie manages the back office and keeps operations running smoothly. Though Scott has an intensive full-time job, running his construction company, he still finds time in between tasks to make Synergy calls because helping people with Synergy products is an important part of his life. He is a firm believer that if you find something that is truly important you, you will make it happen.

“Even though I’m busy with my company, I still found time to become Elite Honors Qualified. This goal is very attainable. I’ve actually doubled the customer volume I needed to be Elite Honors Qualifed. What works for me is starting new customers out on SLMsmart Body Cleanse because it’s affordable and effective. This builds the customer’s belief in Synergy products and they almost always want to try more. I talk to most of my construction customers about Synergy. I just make it work. I’m always finding new ways to incorporate conversations about Synergy into my daily life. If you are really interested in a building a business, excuses will not work.

When you get a fresh start next month, just go for it. I love Elite Honors and Go Elite. It gives everyone incentive. These programs establish smaller, achievable goals, and when you have an achievable goal in front of you, your confidence will grow as you work toward it and achieve it. It’s an excellent tool in confidence building. And it’s OK if you don’t quite make it one month. You may be at the doorstep of reaching your goal but this will give you that much more incentive to qualify the next month.

Remember, everything takes time. You have to build belief in people and properly train them so that they will duplicate the Elite Honors model, and that’s the common denominator. Be patient and let your downline develop. This is not a get rich overnight model. This is long-term residual income.”
