Syntek Story: Cassie & Charmaine Groenewald on Their Way Up to a Life Without Barriers

Like many people, Cassie Groenewald has had his shares of ups and downs. But with Syntek Global, it’s just onward and upward.

Cassie & Charmaine Groenewald

Cassie has been in sales and marketing for the past 20 odd years. He and his wife have also been involved in network marketing for the past seven years, including a business opportunity in Ghana that didn’t pan out. After that, Cassie was forced to work for a friend in Johannesburg. “It was tough times,” he said. “We barely made ends meet.”

Then, in July of 2013, he met a Ghanian man who introduced him to an unbelievable income opportunity—Syntek Global. And even more exciting, it had launched in South Africa just two days before! Cassie saw a way to break through the barriers in his life through Syntek Global.

There were several key elements that made it an unbelievable opportunity: a product that people need, not just want (in the fuel industry); a product that is consumable (no one can afford not to use the product); a solid history; and a great income plan, including amazing bonuses like the $10,000 Lifestyle bonus and other programs. Cassie couldn’t pass up the combination of a fantastic product that works and helps people, and the chance to earn life-changing, residual income.

He joined Syntek Global and quickly sponsored four distributors himself. One of those personally-sponsored distributors, Clynton Marks, was a former boss of Cassie’s. Clynton achieved the rank of Blue Diamond after only 10 months in the business! “I’m very proud to have sponsored the first blue diamond in South Africa,” Cassie said.

It is now just over one year since Cassie has pursued a life without barriers. He says, “Charmaine and I are so thankful for this opportunity and all the wonderful people we meet in my organization. We can truly say that the Syntek Global opportunity has changed our lives and that we are now on our way to become financially free. Thank you, Syntek Global!”

Congratulations, Cassie, on your success! We are honored to partner with Cassie and so many others in pursuing the lives they want, their way. It is exciting to see so many people living without barriers in South Africa, and around the world.

You have the will; we have a way to make it happen!!

Success Tip: Training

One of our focuses at Convention was training. Network marketing legend Eric Worre gave some great training, followed by training from some of Syntek Global’s top leaders. Here are some tips to help you learn the skill-set for the success you want.

Get the right mindset

The most important skill you can develop is the right mindset. This starts by understanding that the economy is very different from what it used to be. Advances in technology mean companies need fewer employees, so there are more people competing for fewer jobs. There has never been more perfect timing than now for you to start taking control of your own employment and be your own boss. Network marketing is a better way.

Eric Worre warned convention attendees to get used to resistance from others. He calls this the “catch” to network marketing—that those who are still caught in the old system might think less of you. Expect it. And Eric even suggested you embrace it.

Give it time

In any profession, it takes time, effort, practice, and training to reach a high level of skill. Network marketing is no different. Don’t throw in the towel if you don’t have the success you want overnight. No one would expect to jump from the mail room to company CEO in one month, so why would you expect to do that with network marketing? Give it some time.

Develop the right skills

Eric Worre also says, “I’d rather be good than lucky.” You can’t control luck, but you can control how good you are. You can control the skills that you have. The good news is that network marketing is one of the most equal-opportunity jobs out there. Everyone is given a fair shake, and at Syntek Global we want to train you with the right skills. We want you to succeed, so we are doing all that we can to help you “be good.”

Here are 5 key skills:

1. Know what you want and why you want it. Like anything in life, there will be ups and downs in this business. A vision will keep you going through all of them.
2. Become proficient at inviting. You’re not forcing. You’re not selling. You’re simply inviting. But there are ways to do it better than others.
3. Point people to the right information. Use the tools Syntek Global has provided. They have been proven to work—and they help you be more efficient.
4. Follow up. Don’t miss this important step.
5. Tap into your team. You aren’t in this business alone. Everyone who signs up is immediately adopted into a team. Find out what they are doing (events, phone calls, trainings, etc.) and tap into those.

Know what to do

We have a new reference card that now goes out with Starter Kits, that clearly lays out daily and weekly tasks to do. If you learn the skills, practice them, and follow these steps, you will find success. 

Note: This is simply the minimum you can dedicate. You can always do more every day.

Be consistent

“Success isn’t always about ‘Greatness’, it’s about consistency. 

Consistent, hard work gains success. Greatness will come.” - Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

At convention, Blue Diamond Natalyn Lewis talked about how everyone you contact is somewhere in the prospecting process. You never know exactly when your prospects are going to reach the end of the process to sign up. It could be in a few days, a few months, or even a year or two down the road. But if you are consistently talking to at least 2 people a day, and starting them along the process, you will have a regular stream of people joining the business. If you aren’t consistent, then you won’t. The only way to have consistent results is to be consistent. The 10-hour work week is a great guide.
