We’re thrilled to announce the first Team Member to reach a Pearl Executive title in Italy! Giuseppe Lucio has been a runaway success since joining Synergy in February 2014. He set a Synergy company record when he hit Team Manager within his first week and has been an unstoppable force ever since.

After attending his first Team Manager Academy and Legacy Retreat, Peppe’s momentum continued to pick up speed, allowing him to achieve Pearl Executive in February 2015. Peppe reached this milestone by keeping his focus fixed on building his team and helping them reach success. His relentless efforts have helped set the pace in Italy as Team Members, inspired by his tireless work ethic and dedication, have dominated the leaderboards in Europe. Synergy’s executive team is impressed by Peppe’s passion and energy. He embodies many of the qualities associated with the Leave a Legacy ideal that the Synergy family lives by.

We are honored to have Peppe on our team and we hope his story will encourage Team Members across the globe to aim high and realize there is no limit to the success that can be achieved with Synergy!

February Rank Advancements

In the first round of Synergy WorldWide’s SLM 10 Club promotion 19 individuals in Europe activated 10 or more people on SLMsmart Activation Packs.

Three of our qualifiers shared their SLM 10 Club stories with us, offering insight and inspiration that will help you sponsor more people on SLMsmart packs.

Elina Laukkanen, Finland


At the 2014 Barcelona Summit, Synergy President Dan Norman asked the audience who was going to become a SLM 10 Club member. Without hesitation, Elina Laukkanen confidently raised her hand. Nothing could stop her once she had committed to joining the SLM 10 Club.
The SLM 10 Club Promotion provided the perfect opportunity for Elina to push herself and expand her business.

“For me, it was an important decision,” she said, “and I am very happy to have achieved my goal.”
The versatility of the SLMsmart line has made it easier for her to grow her business and introduced her to new demographics.

“I have been able to approach athletes in a completely different way than in the past,” she said. “Athletes are especially interested in the SLMsmart shake as a protein supplement and have experienced benefits using this product after their workouts.”

One of the biggest contributors to her success was her genuine interest in her team’s wellbeing. Elina’s bright and positive attitude draws people to her and her mission.
“My team is very close to my heart,” she said. “When it comes to tackling big goals, it’s important to remember that the most important part of my work is the people I work with, both on my own team and throughout the Synergy network.”

Helena Hemming, Finland

Helena Hemming loves the SLM 10 Club promotion as an added incentive that motivates her to take her business to the next level. She personally loves the simplicity of getting a nutritious and satisfying breakfast, even on her busiest mornings, and was determined to share SLMsmart with others for these reasons. She relied on tried and true business methods to spread the word about Synergy’s latest line of weight management products by taking out an ad in the local paper.

She created nutrition plans using the SLMsmart system as a base, which also included recipes made from natural and whole foods and at least 2-3 liters of water. She advised participants to participate in at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. While the holiday season created a challenging environment, the participants were able to stay on track and finish the SLMsmart 90-day Challenge.

Helena is happy that she is meeting a high demand for quality products such as the SLMsmart health shake and in so doing, has built her business substantially. Her success with the SLM 10 Club Promotion has inspired her to set her sights on achieving Team Director before the year is over.
Wilhem Heindl, Austria

Wilhelm Heindl knew he wanted to be successful with Synergy and the SLM 10 Club promotion was the perfect way to get his business moving toward bigger goals. With the SLM 10 Club promotion, he was able to attract an entirely new demographic. This allowed him to reach out and share SLMsmart with more people than ever before.
             
This new group of people has given Wilhelm a new platform on which to share Synergy’s newest products. He has used his own transformation and experience with the product as an example to potential customers. He has also spoken to the convenience and cost-effectiveness of replacing meals with the SLMsmart Meal Replacement. Wilhelm also offered long-term support to customers who wanted to complete the SLMsmart 90-day Challenge.
             
Whether his customers were looking to manage their weight or add a well-rounded meal to their daily routines, Wilhelm was able to show them just how easy using SLMsmart can be. His customers were impressed by the SLMsmart’s delicious taste both alone and in recipes. Wilhelm’s accomplishments with SLMsmart have inspired him to tackle the next promotion with confidence in both Synergy and his business.
