Dear Sunrider
Leaders,
Sorry for the longer email but I had a lot of critical information
to get out ...

2009 Convention Information
You can review all the information about the May 2010 Sunrider
Cruise by going to the following website. http://www.seacruises.com/group_sites/sr10/flash.shtml
Here are some tips when planning to attend this convention:
When you calculate the costs of this trip, make sure you include
all the costs associated in going. There are several costs associated
with a cruise so make sure you include them all. They are all
listed on the prices section.
• Flight to Rome
• Transfer costs $100/person
• Pre-cruise tour of Rome (cost not yet posted)
• Cruise cost which depends on the room you choose
• Tips $60/person
• Tours during the cruise. You can go on up to 8 tours.
The costs have not yet been posted, but traditionally tours cost
from $60-150/person depending on the activity.
Obviously if you need to reduce the cost of the trip then the
pre-cruise tour and tours during the trip are optional. However,
having been to most of these locations I can say that you don’t
want to miss visiting these famous landmarks, so focus on how
can I increase my business to have a really first class trip
We are frequently asked how much you can depend on getting from
the TIF. Until you get the TIF check you can’t know. However,
at the last convention the average check was about $1000-1500
due to points earned with some going much higher if there was
a lot of sponsoring and rank advancement going on. That was based
on a 6 month period, this cruise TIF will be based on a full year.
Also on more expensive tours we tend to have less people attend
due to financial considerations. So a rough estimate would be
doubling last year’s average ($2000-3000) and then add some
for a higher point value … so give it your best guess. This
should give you a general idea on how much to set as a goal to
make in addition to the TIF to cover your cruise cost.
This kind of trip is designed to reward us for stretching ourselves
and making substantial gains in our business. Sometimes the initial
response to these announcements is that it is too long, too far,
too expensive, too whatever. But in the end these trips have always
turned out fantastic.
I remember our first trip to China in 1995 … what a trip.
Unfortunately due to my accident in 2007 I missed the 2007 China
trip and the 2008 Hawaii trip, which I heard a lot of rave reviews
about … with the exception of a few cases of food poisoning
in China.
Everyone who made it a passionate goal to make it to these events
felt like it was well worth the effort. Now is the time to decide
to go on next years cruise. Determine to increase your business
so that between the TIF and your increased earnings you can pay
for it.
TIF Qualifications
As I have talked with many leaders I realize that some are not
totally clear on the current TIF qualifications. Here are the
points some are still fuzzy on …
• Simply buying a gift pack does not qualify as a sponsor
this year.
• Sponsoring 4 VIP Customers per two month period by having
the new VIP Customer buy $200 of random products does not qualify
as TIF sponsor. (However, it does qualify for other bonus.)
• What a qualified sponsor is if you sponsor 4 VIP Customers
per two month period who buy any of the seven GIFT PACKS.
• Also they just recently shortened the qualification period
to10 months which should open the door to more Business Leaders.
This is going to be one memorable trip! You need to understand
all the qualifications. There are other qualifications as well
that you need to make sure you understand … which you can
do by reviewing the following information found in the Operations
Update for October 2009.
Sincerely,
Paul Jensen
Sunrider Convention – 2010
Next year’s convention aboard a cruise ship has created
a lot of excitement because of potential ports-of-call and European
experience. The exact details of the trips will be announced once
the contract is signed with the cruise ship. However, as the trip
will likely to be during the previously announced 12- month qualification
period (June’09 – May’10), we will shorten the
qualification period as follows:
The new qualification period will be 10 months, from June’09
– March’10
To earn Travel Incentive Fund (TIF), during the qualification
period, an IBO must
• Qualify as a Business Leader or above, and
• Sponsor 4 New VIP Customers with Gift Sets every two months
Awards:
•
1. Qualify 8 or more months out of 10, earn 100% TIF
2. Qualify the last 6 consecutive months (October – March),
earn 50% of the TIF.
As you can see from (2) above, an IBO can get partial TIF by qualifying
as a Business Leader from October to March and sponsoring 4 VIP
Customers every two months during this period.
Like all Sunrider events this cruise will go down as a travel
highlight in your life. So set your goal to get the TIF and earn
whatever it takes to get on this cruise!
