Business Symposium Part #3How to Develop Managers

This is the third in a series of business-building articles taken from presentations given at NSP’s Business Symposium, held in conjunction with our National Convention 2008. The symposium featured industry leaders and successful Managers, who shared some of their ideas and secrets for building and maintaining a thriving business.

Eric and Christine Brinker, Regional

Managers from Latrobe, Pa., shared their success tips with attendees in a seminar titled “16 Managers in 6 Months.” The Brinkers developed 25 new Managers in the past year after a six-year hiatus, during which time they focused on building their family, rather than their business. During that break,

Eric went back to work in corporate America as a “lean” consultant. Lean thinking is a concept most often applied to manufacturing and involves making processes more efficient and removing waste.

Six years later, the Brinkers were ready to re-focus their efforts on their NSP business. To start, they looked at their success the first time around and evaluated what worked and what they could improve. Christine said that after they joined NSP in 1996, they became very product-focused. “We shared the wholesale opportunity with everyone. We worked hard, and put forth a lot of time and effort in our retail store. We taught others to retail.” Now, they are adding something they didn’t do the first

time around—sharing the business opportunity with everyone. They were also able to add some of Eric’s “lean thinking.”

THE BriNkErS’ TiPS for SuCCESSDeveloping a Business Plan• Write down what is working for you and what isn’t.• Set specific goals. Examples may be breaking out 2–3 solid

Managers every month or teaching a certain number of classes every month.

• Base your business plan on your goals. When developing your plan, make it an action plan by filling it with verbs.

Put the Plan into Effect• Build personal relationships with people.• Sign up your customers as new members. It is a favor to

them. They will get better health, save money and even make money.

• When new members get their first rebate check, begin business training. Explain how their check can grow.

• Share ways that your new members can build an NSP business immediately.

Some Additional Tips• Know what’s going on in your group. Check your online

reports: make calls to people who are close to earning a rebate check, those who haven’t ordered, etc.

• Finders–Givers. Sign up new members under other Managers in your group. This may seem counterintuitive, but it can give a boost to your Managers and really kick-start their business.

• Invite new members to business meetings. Keep track of those who were unable to attend and give them one-on-one training.

• Be accessible to your group. • Promote members and Managers by allowing them to

participate in meetings and even consultations. • Recognize your members when they become Managers.

Send them a gift, take them to lunch or give them a phone call. Be sure to let them know what being a Manager means and the rewards that are available.

“After struggling with serious health and immune system issues, Jane began her journey back to health with Nature’s Sunshine products 16 years ago. Her desire to pursue an alternative healing route was partly motivated by the prospect of being on nine prescriptions for the rest of her life. “I thank God for His healing herbs that restored my health and life. I could not have achieved this without my sponsor, LaDonna Frantz, and I am continuously impressed with her tireless dedication and devotion to educating all who want to learn about natural health. “Along with our philosophy of healthy living, we also raise natural beef on our farm for our customers. Thank you, NSP, for supplying the highest quality herbal supplements that change people’s lives and improve their health.

Historical Uses of Silver• Silver was part of Hippocrates’ pharmacopeia.• In ancient times, Phoenicians and Romans stored water,

wine and vinegar in silver jugs to prevent spoilage. • In the early 1800s, doctors used silver sutures to stitch

wounds. • In the early 20th century, placing a silver dollar in the

bottom of milk bottles was standard practice. • And, when the former Soviet Union needed to sterilize

recycled water on their space vehicles, they turned to silver. Patented Aqua Sol Technology Patented Aqua Sol Technology represents the latest advancement in colloidal silver. With Aqua Sol Technology, silver particles with an interior of elemental silver and an exterior of ionic silver oxide are placed in a colloidal suspension in water. The result is fine, particle-sized colloids with amazing bioavailability.

Thai-Go Tops Competition In 2008, health and nutrition researcher Kimberly Day tested three of the top-selling antioxidant drinks on the market to determine if they delivered the benefits they claimed to offer. Ms. Day sent samples of Thai-Go and two other popular antioxidant drinks to Brunswick Laboratories. The drinks were tested to determine their ORAC value. (ORAC is the most widely accepted method of measuring a food’s antioxidant content.) Brand B had the lowest ORAC value at 23,323 per sample; Brand X, at 24,480, came in just ahead of Brand B. NSP Thai-Go had an ORAC value of 51,939, more than double that of its competitors.

CleanStart®

CleanStart is a two-week cleansing program designed to offer that periodic maintenance. Over time, toxins and waste can accumulate, causing many to feel sluggish. CleanStart helps the body flush the intestinal system of these built-up substances, which may in turn bring increased energy levels and an improved sense of well-being. Conveniently prepackaged into daily servings, CleanStart is easy to use. Each capsule packet includes one capsule of Enviro-Detox™ and two capsules of LBS II®. Each drink mix packet includes a balanced mix of psyllium hulls, Bentonite clay, aloe vera juice and chlorophyll. Choose from Wild Berry or Apple-Cinnamon flavors. Taken together, these carefully selected products are powerful enough to be effective, yet gentle enough to be comfortable.Stock No. 3993-8 (Wild Berry 14-day supply) Retail $68.95 Member Price $45.95Stock No. 3992-6 (Apple-Cinnamon 14-day supply) Retail $68.95 Member Price $45.95

Food EnzymesThe keys to healthy digestion Having the necessary enzymes to properly digest foods allows the body to completely break down food and harvest more usable nutrients from it. Improper diet, stress and aging all affect a person’s capacity to digest food efficiently. Moreover, the cooking process often kills natural enzymes needed to digest food, forcing the body to supply replacement enzymes—if it can! Supplementing with a well-rounded enzyme formula—like NSP’s powerful, unique Food Enzymes—promotes maximum digestion and may help minimize digestive discomfort. It provides pepsin (breaks down meat and other proteins in an acid environment), pancreatin (breaks down proteins, carbohydrates and fats in an alkaline environment), mycozyme (breaks down starches), papain (digests proteins), bromelain (digests protein) and bile salts (emulsifies fats and prepares them for breakdown by lipase).Stock No. 1836-9 (120) capsules Retail $24.25 Member Price $16.15

Some CHloRoPHyll TIPS:• liquid Chlorophyll harvests

the green chlorophyll from a natural plant source and contains 100% natural spearmint oil. For a refreshing, purifying drink, mix 1 teaspoonful into 8 oz. pure water.

• Use liquid Chlorophyll in the morning to help your mouth feel fresher.

What Are Enzymes? Enzymes are specialized proteins that instigate important chemical reactions in the body. The body produces digestive enzymes that break food down into usable forms: • proteins➞peptides and amino acids• carbohydrates➞monosaccharides and smaller

polysaccharides• fats➞fatty acids and glycerol As we age, our bodies begin to produce fewer of these necessary enzymes. And, depending on our dietary choices, we get little or no help from the foods we eat. Raw or perishable foods like fresh fruit and vegetables contain natural enzymes that help the stomach and digestive tract break down food. Processed foods (anything that you can store on the shelf for more than a week) contain little or no enzymes, so the body must rely on its own ability to digest foods.

More than Just Digestion Food Enzymes offers more complete digestive support when taken with meals. Taken between meals, Food Enzymes works systemically to break down proteins associated with joint health, arterial health and immune activation.

“I was having a terrible time digesting most foods after my gallbladder was removed, plus I suffered from serious indigestion issues. I began taking Food Enzymes and LBS II. I am now able to eat lettuce and popcorn without problems.” —Sandy C.

An estimated 30 million Americans suffer from occasional constipation or sluggish bowels. To combat the problem, over half a billion dollars are spent annually on over-the-counter laxatives, which often produce harsh side effects and only limited results.

Super Omega-3 EPAEFAs—The Essence of Heart and Brain Health Your body derives four basic fats from foods. Some of these—especially saturated fat—have earned a bad reputation in recent years. In truth, however, “good fats”—called essential fatty acids, or EFAs—are required by the body for optimal health. omega-3 fatty acids and other EFAs are not made by the body, so they must be found through diet or supplementation. Super omega-3 EPA softgels contain 1,000 mg fish oil, which provides generous amounts of two beneficial fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids like ePA and DHA may reduce one’s risk of coronary heart disease. Though not conclusive, the FDA has evaluated the scientific data and determined that there is evidence supporting this claim.Stock No. 1515-7 (60 softgels) Retail $32.95 Member Price $21.95

Super Supplemental Vitamins & MineralsA Super Way to Supplement Your Daily Diet Super Supplemental has been a sound, well-balanced formula—and one of our best-selling products—since 1986!

“Super Omega-3 EPA provides EPA and DHA, fatty acids that are less prone to oxidation in the body, and which, in

turn, may help lower plasma triglycerides and raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Low-density lipoprotein oxidation has been implicated as a

negative factor in coronary heart health. Since EPA and DHA are less prone to oxidation than other fatty acids, their presence helps reduce oxidation of these lipoproteins. “Consumption of food that is fried in oil—particularly unsaturated oils—increases the workload on the body in dealing with lipid oxidation products. Diets with sufficient tocopherols, carotenoids and polyphenols can help prevent undesirable lipid oxidation.”

— Paul Peaden, Research Leader, NSP R&D Dept.

A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that Americans often resort to unhealthy behaviors such as comfort eating, poor diet choices, smoking and inactivity to help deal with stress. The survey results agree with research that shows 43 percent of adults suffer adverse health effects because of stress.

Benefits of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids• Brain health. essential fatty acids—especially DHA—

help maintain the composition of brain tissue.• Cardiovascular health. ePA and DHA fatty acids

support heart health and function.• Cell membranes. omega-3s are key components of

healthy, flexible cell membranes.• Structural health. omega-3s help keep joints healthy,

and may increase calcium absorption, which is vital to the integrity of the bones.

EverFlex® with Hyaluronic AcidKeep the joints flexible Joint health issues sure put a damper on an active lifestyle—tennis elbow, runner’s knee, swimmer’s shoulder. Healthy joints are vital to overall well-being. Aging, poor diet and overuse can underscore the importance of joint health maintenance. EverFlex formula benefits the structural system and supports healthy joints. It offers the nutritional advantages of glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and MSM combined with devil’s claw herb in one convenient tablet. Glucosamine protects connective tissues, helps maintain the integrity and mobility of joints, and helps lubricate joints by replenishing synovial fluid, which promotes a joint’s shock-absorbing abilities. Chondroitin sulfate attracts fluid and draws nutrients into the cartilage, making the cartilage more shock absorbent. It also promotes growth and normal tissue generation and keeps enzymes in balance. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is present in many fresh foods, but it is destroyed through cooking, processing and storage. Supplementing with this nutrient ensures an adequate supply of sulfur—an important structural component of the connective tissue that joins muscle to bone. Hyaluronic acid is an important component of cartilage and synovial fluid that occurs naturally throughout the body. This molecule plays a crucial role in joint motion, the maintenance of joint homeostasis, skin support, and the maintenance of viscosity and elasticity of the fluid surrounding the joints. EverFlex also contains devil’s claw, an herb long used to support joint health.Stock No. 948-4 (60 tablets) Retail $38.65 Member Price $25.75

Bifidophilus Flora Force®

Providing BiLLiONS of friendly microflora Every body is home to friendly bacteria that perform vital roles in the digestion of foods, absorption of nutrients and in promoting immunity. Maintaining these friendly populations is critical to overall health, though they are often damaged or depleted by stress, diet, aging and illness. Probiotic supplements help replenish the populations of these friendly intestinal flora. Taking quality supplements can immediately provide you with improved health and added protection. Bifidophilus Flora Force contains four strains of beneficial microflora to help strengthen and replenish the friendly flora population in the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in the production of enzymes, which enhances the assimilation of nutrients. Among other things, it produces certain vitamins and lactase and competes with other, less-friendly

microorganisms for food and living space in the colon. It helps enhance elimination and assist white blood cells. Bifidobacterium longum secretes acids that help maintain a stable microbiological environment. Bifidophilus Flora Force also includes L. casei and L. rhamnosus (for immune system support) plus fructo-oligosaccharides to support the growth of beneficial organisms.Stock No. 4080-4 (90 capsules) Retail $26.95 Member Price $17.95

To order, contact your Nature’s Sunshine Herb Specialist.

Probiotics and Prebiotics Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when ingested, provide a health benefit to their host. For that reason, they are sometimes called beneficial bacteria or friendly flora. Prebiotics also provide benefits. They are indigestible components of foods that stimulate the growth of friendly bacteria. Bifidophilus Flora Force contains both probiotics (L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. casei and L. rhamnosus) and prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides).

Probiotics in Your Grocery Store As evidence builds for the benefits of friendly microflora to the intestinal system, probiotic supplements have become more widespread. You can even find probiotic supplementation in many mainstream foods at your local grocery store. For instance, while most yogurts contain some level of active cultures, every major brand of yogurt now carries lines with extra probiotic strength. You’ll also find probiotics in some fermented milk or juice products, and in miso, tempeh and fermented grain or soybean products. However, the FDA does not require food manufacturers to list the amount of probiotics in their products.

“I didn’t know what to do for the lack of flexibility in my knee. I started taking EverFlex and within two weeks, I was able to resume my regular workouts, which includes lifting and squatting free weights.”

—Patricia B.

Americans spent $715 million on over-the-counter laxatives in 2006.

“I am the mother of three small children and often find myself stressed and depressed. After using Nature’s Noni, I feel more alive. The other day I felt so tired that I didn’t have the strength to get out of bed. I took a big spoonful of Nature’s Noni, and five minutes later I was up and doing all my chores. Everyone has noticed the change in me.” —Martha E.

What Is Noni Fruit? The noni tree, or Morinda citrifolia, is a small tree with shiny, dark green leaves and a small, oblong fruit. Noni fruit turns from green to yellow-white as it ripens. The fruit is soft and wet and has a cheesy aroma. It is native to Southeast Asia, but has spread throughout the Indian subcontinent, Pacific islands, French Polynesia and the Dominican Republic.

Nature’s Noni and the Immune Response An independently conducted study from a renowned university research center showed that NSP Nature’s Noni outperformed another brand better than 6 to 1 in stimulating immune system response.

Co-Q10 (75 mg)Count on Co-Q10 for Cardiac Care Co-Q10 is a naturally occurring compound found in the body, and it’s a powerful antioxidant. This coenzyme, similar to a vitamin, plays an essential role in producing cellular energy— without which, your cells could not function. Co-Q10 is found in high concentrations within tissues and organs that require a lot of energy. The heart is just such an organ, which is why Co-Q10 is vital in promoting cardiovascular health. As an antioxidant, Co-Q10 scavenges free radicals, protects cardiac cells and promotes the regeneration of vitamin E, another heart-healthy antioxidant. Co-Q10 may also help maintain blood pressure levels already within the normal range. Co-Q10 75 mg softgels feature an oil-based delivery system, which improves bioavailability (making it about three times more bioavailable than the powdered form).

Magnesium governs the proper utilization of calcium in joints, bones, muscles and nerves. Boron, copper and zinc help build and maintain strong bones and muscles. Iron and manganese are essential for calcium absorption and blood building. Vitamin A promotes the efficient use of calcium. Vitamin D aids bone mineralization and increases calcium absorption. Vitamin C helps cement cells together with collagen. Vitamin B6 is used by the body to manufacture proteins needed for strong bones, new red blood cell production and energy.

Bone Regeneration Although bones typically stop growing in size during the teenage years, the growing process continues as bones continually rebuild themselves. Bones contain two types of cells—osteoblasts and osteoclasts—which work together to build new bone material on the outside and remove old material on the inside. To sustain this regenerative effort, the body must receive sufficient supplies of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. During shortages of these nutrients in the bloodstream, the body will remove them from the bones, which can lead to weak and porous bones.

Keeping Your Structural System Strong• lead an active life. Weight-bearing exercise is

especially important for maintaining strong bones and stable joints. Also, focus on your core muscles to build a solid foundation.

• Stand up straight. your mom was right, good posture is important. Poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances, which in turn develop into musculoskeletal problems.

• Choose a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially calcium and vitamin D. And check your medications. Some meds make it difficult for your body to process nutrients.

• Avoid smoking.

Many European studies and some American studies show that saw palmetto is effective in supporting prostate gland health.

Ways Your Body Can Lose its Store of B Vitamins• Cooking and refining

Adrenal SupportGive Your Adrenal Gland a Hand The adrenals produce hormones that help balance blood sugar, which helps your body to manage the daily ebbs and flows of energy. When blood sugar drops, the adrenals release hormones that cause it to rise, increasing energy. When you’re under stress, the adrenals again release hormones in an effort to increase energy. This second reaction can be described as the “fight or flight” response. Being under consistent stress takes a toll on the adrenal glands, and eventually, they run out of steam and stop producing sufficient hormones. Adrenal Support helps maintain normal adrenal function by supporting the body’s ability to regulate stress. Adrenal Support is formulated with powdered bovine adrenal gland from New Zealand, along with a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and adaptogenic herbs. These ingredients include vitamins B1, B2, B6, pantothenic acid and vitamin C, plus zinc, protease, borage oil powder, licorice root and schizandra fruit.Stock No. 1507-0 (60 capsules) Retail $24.45 Member Price $16.30

Cascara SagradaElimination with a little help from nature Occasional constipation may be common, but few people associate the eliminative function with joint health, energy levels, skin conditions, breath odor and immune function. These health issues and elimination may be linked because the digestive and intestinal systems feed the entire body, and during that process the waste and toxins that are produced must be removed. Cascara sagrada, or sacred bark, is one of Nature’s Sunshine’s most popular and best-selling herbal products. As a nutritional support for proper waste elimination, the bark has been used by cultures around the world. Cascara sagrada acts as an herbal laxative, influences intestinal contraction and supports a clean, healthy colon.

ALJ also helps promote respiratory tissue health.Stock No. 774-3 (100 capsules) Also available in Vegitabs and liquid herb.Retail $15.75 Member Price $10.50

The Problem with Constipation The digestive system is designed to extract the nutrients from the food we eat and pass along the waste. The colon simultaneously pushes digested matter along and reabsorbs water and mineral salts. When food moves too slowly or stops in the colon, some of the toxic waste that should be eliminated may be reabsorbed into the body.

What is Healthy Elimination? Natural health experts recommend three bowel movements a day. You eat three times a day, shouldn’t you eliminate just as much? Anything less may indicate a sluggish bowel.

Like Fine Wine and Cheese… Cascara sagrada bark should be aged for at least one year or properly cured before it is consumed. Fresh cascara sagrada is irritating to the gastrointestinal system and can cause vomiting and upset stomach. NSP’s Quality Assurance team tests each lot to verify that the harsh active compounds have been oxidized to assure a safer, more pleasant experience.

“ALJ has been a wonderful addition to our daily supplements. My husband was having trouble with seasonal challenges both in the spring and fall. I wanted a safe product for him. We heard about ALJ and started using it right away. What a blessing!”

Psyllium Hulls CombinationAn exceptional source of fiber Plantago psyllium is a popular product that is best-known as

a bulking and lubricating agent for the digestive system. NSP’s Psyllium Hulls Combination, contains psyllium—an excellent source of fiber—along with hibiscus flower and licorice root. Psyllium is an annual herb native to Mediterranean climates. Psyllium hulls have a remarkable ability to absorb water many times their own weight, which makes them swell. This exerts a gentle pressure on intestinal walls, stimulating them to contract normally. Psyllium’s ability to absorb bowel toxins, along with the natural action of the bowel, works to keep the walls of the intestine clear of debris.

The Fiber Award Goes to…Psyllium Nature’s Sunshine’s Psyllium Hulls contains the highest level of soluble fiber of any natural grain…eight times as much as oat bran.

Psyllium—More than Just Bulk Psyllium Hulls Combination has benefits beyond its bulking action. When taken with a meal, psyllium hulls slow digestion and absorption so sugars from food enter the bloodstream more slowly, which helps blood sugar levels remain balanced. This may be an advantage for those who know they have overindulged.

Fiber and the Heart According to the American Heart Association, 50 percent of middle-aged Americans have dangerously high levels of blood cholesterol, a contributing factor to the high rate of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. Scientific research has shown that cutting down on fats and increasing the amount of soluble fiber in the diet can significantly reduce these levels. But getting enough soluble fiber into the diet can be tricky. Most foods only contain small amounts of fiber. Even oat bran contains a mere 7 percent soluble fiber.
