Getting to Know Your Back Office: AutoShip Programs


One of the biggest advantages of your Syntek Global Back Office is 24/7 access to complete details for all our programs and promotions. Many questions can be answered through these easily accessible details.

For example, as a distributor you have most likely heard of AutoShip, but you may not know some of the additional benefits you can get through our two AutoShip programs: 1) AutoShip Rewards Program and 2) 100 PV AutoShip Club.




1)    AutoShip Rewards Program (ARP) - rewards customers/distributors for their loyalty as product consumers. In this program a customer/distributor acquires points with every AutoShip purchase. They can then use those acquired points to obtain free product. A customer/distributor begins acquiring ARP points in our program the day they begin their first AutoShip shipment.

2)    100 PV AutoShip Club - an exclusive club for Syntek Global distributors that provides additional benefits such as discounted products, sales tools, and branded items, as well as offering increased commission opportunities. This Club is designed to reward distributors who are building their business on a 100 PV. Any distributor that has a current, 100 PV AutoShip in the calendar month is automatically included as a member of the Syntek Global 100 PV AutoShip Club.

Some of the benefits of the 100 PV AutoShip are: upgrade to the MySyntek website, discounts off sale items, double AutoShip Rewards points, access to discounted product, and more!

Full details about both of these programs, including rules, are found in the Library of the Back Office (search for “AutoShip”).

Another benefit to AutoShip is that each shipment comes with a mailer from corporate so you can always know first thing about updates, announcements, or promotions. AutoShip options can also easily be changed from the Back Office under the My Business tab.





For more information about AutoShip, you can see this previous Q&A post.

Note: If you have not purchased a MySyntek website, go to www.mysyntek.com to do so. The first month of use is FREE with the purchase of a Starter Kit.  Signing up for a MySyntek website is optional. However, all of the training, videos, documents, presentations, and other business building tools are found in the distributor Back Office of the MySyntek website.

Success Story: Sabrina and Gianfranco Di Giusto--Skeptics Turned Believers

 Sabrina Di Giusto was skeptical about the latest network marketing opportunity introduced to her in 2010—some company called Syntek Global. She and her husband, Gianfranco, had already tried network marketing and never got the results they desired. But, Gianfranco decided to try XFT in their car.

Right away they saw amazing results, and they were converted! They couldn’t help but talk about the product to friends online. Within a few months they had hundreds of distributors signed up, all of whom were very happy about the results and the opportunity.

Sabrina and Gianfranco had to open a warehouse and administrative offices to give service to their Italian distributors because of the rapidly expanding growth. From then on they have never stopped supporting Syntek Global and their Italian Syntek distributors. There are now thousands of distributors in Italy and it is still expanding!

Sabrina and Gianfranco have always worked hard to better their life conditions as well as the lives of people around them, and their lives have changed completely since joining Syntek Global. Both of them are so happy now because they get to continue to help others through Syntek. They know that the Syntek opportunity is the best opportunity they could have found. Now they are very dedicated to making it possible for all those who want to better their conditions and change their financial situations as well.

They know that with Syntek Global this is POSSIBLE and is real. It's not just a dream; it’s a reality.

Sabrina and Gianfanco want to continue expanding in Italy and the rest of Europe, making people's dreams come true. Also, they want to make everybody aware in their country that something can be done to improve their lives and preserve the environment for everyone. They know that it can be done with Syntek Global.

For them Syntek Global is a very big family—real people that take care of people. This became so true when they came to Utah for the International Convention. They realized that Syntek Global really is made of people who take care of others and really want to help others, like they have always wanted to do.

They say, “Whatever your dream is stick with it and work hard to make it possible and do it with Syntek. It's not a holiday - it's hard work, but it will be worth it. Keep persisting and never give up! The right moment for you is right there…just a little bit in front of you. You must believe it and take care of your people, all of them, and you will be rewarded. And yes, see you at the top!”

Getting To Know Your Back Office: Top 3 Questions

As we mentioned last week, for Friday Q&A we’re going to help you get to know the resources in your Back Office. We did a little investigating with our support department and found the Top 3 things people ask about.

1.    Compensation Plan – All the compensation plan details are available in the Back Office, both in print form and a series of explanatory videos.
  • For the printable PDFs in various languages go to the Library tab and type “compensation” in the Search box under Display Advanced Filter Options. You will also find inserts, overview videos, and everything you could want to explain the compensation plan.
  • The explanatory videos are found in the Academy. Training on the Compensation Plan is the #1 option after you click on the Academy tab.
2.    Commercial Initial Test Form -- People ask for a document they call "Product Match," which is the document for the Xtreme Fuel Treatment Test Plan. If a company wishes to test XFT, then for a limited time Syntek will match their  purchase up to a certain amount. The form is found in the library with the name “Commercial Initial Test Form.” You can easily find it by typing “test form” in the Search box under Display Advanced Filter Options.

3.    Price Sheets – These are found in the Back Office Library. Type “price sheet” in the Search box under Display Advanced Filter Options.

We hope you find this installment of Getting to Know Your Back Office helpful. Next week we will highlight more resources you can find in your Syntek Global Back Office.

**If you have not purchased a MySyntek website, we highly recommend that you do that now by going to www.mysyntek.com. The first month of use is FREE with the purchase of a Starter Kit.  (PLEASE NOTE: Signing up for a MySyntek website is optional.

Africa Trip Recap



At the end of October, Co-Founder Joel Theler and Senior Director of Operations Gina Day went on a whirlwind trip to Ghana, Cameroon, and Nigeria to meet with distributors and those interested in Syntek Global, and to do some staff training. It was a huge success!

They held seven meetings in seven days in seven cities, and were blown away by the great response in every city. Large crowds gathered for each meeting and once again we were amazed at how many people are catching the vision of Syntek Global. Spirits and enthusiasm were high. Africa is truly on fire!


 Due to a canceled flight, Joel and Gina missed the meeting in Ibadan, but amazing local leaders and country managers took the reins and delivered a great event. Syntek Global CEO Mr. John Winterholler also delivered a message through Skype.

At each meeting those attending were rewarded with cash giveaways and some product giveaways as well. Joel tried his hand with languages, greeting those in Lagos in the local dialet of the Yorubas. (He hopes they will forgive his poor accent.)


Thousands of people left the meetings feeling energized and motivated, and we expect more amazing things from Africa!

Joel and Gina both say they loved each city and the people in them. They were happy to meet individually with so many people and take pictures. They had a wonderful time and look forward to meeting everyone again at the 2014 International Convention in March.

The trip just reinforced that we have the best people in the world in Syntek Global! We’re impressed with the leadership and distributors everywhere we go. It is inspiring to see so many people making their dreams come true and we are honored to be part of that. It is the people like YOU that make Syntek Global great!

Friday Q&A: Where do I find…?


For today’s Q&A we’re going to tackle a whole group of questions. These usually start with “Where do I find…” or “Can I get…” The answer to many of these is usually: It’s in the Back Office.

Skill for Success: Talking to Others

Does the idea of talking to people make you break out in a sweat? Despite technological advances that make network marketing easier than ever, the power behind it is that personal connection. To be successful you must develop the skill of talking to others. Here are some ways to become more comfortable talking to people.


REASONS PEOPLE MIGHT BE AFRAID/ANXIOUS TO TALK TO OTHERS

  • Incoherency – Someone might be perfectly fine putting thoughts together in writing, but their words get all jumbled in the stress of a social situation.
  • Mind Goes Blank – Most of us have experienced this phenomenon, which can increase someone’s worry and anxiety about speaking to others.
  • Inability to Put Thoughts into Words – Sometimes when people are anxious and have had uncomfortable or awkward experiences, they grow unaccustomed to having to put thoughts into words on the spot.
  • Feelings of Inferiority/Superiority – When people struggle and others don’t seem to, they can feel inferior. Others might have the opposite reaction and feel disdain for others.
  • Fear of Being Judged – This fear underlies most of the previous reasons. We know the way we perceive others affects how we interact with them.

 

LEARNING TO CHANGE THIS FEAR/BEHAVIOR

Changing your behavior can be scary. Understand that for a time you might feel like a beginner, but it’s the only way to change your social comfort level for the better. It may take time, and it may not always be fun, but you can do it! Here are some tips:

  • Start Strong – If you go somewhere and decide to talk to someone, start right away. The longer you wait the easier it is to procrastinate.
  • Get a Supportive Friend – If you really have a hard time, take a supportive friend with you into a situation to encourage you. Studies have shown that those that feel loved and supported by close friends are much more confident when speaking in public. You have a team around you in this business to give you support. Take advantage of this network!
  • Ease Into It – Many people find it easy to speak to a friend, and it gets harder and harder to talk in groups. So start with one person at a time. The great news is that in our business, you don’t have to get up and speak for an hour in front of a room full of people. You just have to talk to one person at a time. That’s all.
  • Use the Strategy of Visualize, Relax, and Practice – See yourself being successful, use relaxation techniques, and practice. (See more in this short video.)
  • Just Say “Hello” – It’s not complicated. Just start with the basics: a greeting. Then you can always ask a question or two to get the conversation started.
  • Don’t Expect Anything – Don’t go into the interaction with huge expectations. If you’re talking to someone about the business/product, don’t take it personally if they’re not interested. Also, understand that you don’t know what kind of day they’ve had or what’s going on in their life.
  • It Only Takes 20 Seconds of Courage – That’s right. You don’t have to be brave for a long time. Just 20 seconds. You can do anything for 20 seconds, right? 

You don’t need to be anxious about talking to others. Get out there and talk to people! Use the power of a personal connection to drive your business—and improve the quality of your life.

Let us know how you are doing in the comments, or if you have found any other tips/tricks that have helped you overcome the anxiety of talking to people.

Success Story: Sherri Henry Finds Freedom with Syntek Global



 

Sherri Henry worked for the U.S. Federal Government for 19 years and says, “Never have I felt more insecure than now.” She realized a long time ago that no one is more vested in her financial future than she was! She also realized that a “job” will never make her wealthy. She came to the conclusion she needed a business where she could earn residual, leveraged income.

That is why she turned to the Network Marketing industry. Sherri had been with about six different companies before joining Syntek Global in August, 2009. Royal Team Elite Chris Bailey introduced her to the opportunity. “I joined because I respect him and he has been successful in previous businesses,” she said.

And since 2009, she’s been with Syntek through several different systems, compensation plan changes (always improvements), and opportunity presentations. “But one thing I’ve always felt secure in is the integrity of our Co-Founders. I’ve always known that they have our best interests at heart and truly care for each and every one of us and our communities,” she said.

As with the other network marketing businesses she joined, Sherri said she came to Syntek Global in search of one word: FREEDOM! “I’ve had my ups and downs with this business, but I always knew it was possible to achieve my dreams if I just didn’t give up,” she said. “This is my ticket to the FREEDOM that I’ve been seeking all my life.”

Sherri is part of the Wealth Enterprise (Team WE) and she feels that the group really is a family. WE truly care for one and other and WE all pitch in and help each other. She said, “That is how I got to the position of Diamond MVP and that is how I will get to Blue Diamond! Teamwork really does make the Dream work.”

Sherri says the road to Diamond was paved with bumps, hills, valleys, highs, lows, and everything in between. “But now that I’m here all I see is green pastures and endless possibilities.” And on that horizon is the freedom that has been driving Sherri to success. 

She is an excellent example of hard work, perseverance, and a team mentality!

So without further ado, the winner and Master Motivator is...

Abigail Yaa Twumasiwaa Nyantakyi


When you have a Dream, there is always going to be someone or something standing in your way, be it friends and family who will tell you it's too risky or you can't do it.Some people also let themselves stand in their way of reaching their Goals...because they don't think they are GOOD enough...or they keep coming up with one EXCUSE after another and keep PROCRASTINATING...So they never start to work on their DREAMS. And the ones that actually start , QUIT when they feel like it's too hard....or experience Disappointments..It may get harder , but if you persist You will get there. DO NOT LET ANYONE STEAL OR STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR DREAMS.

Congratulations Abigail! You inspired lots of people! Abigail's photo will be featured at the top of our Facebook page for a week.
