Recap: Dr. Sandberg’s Exclusive Group Event
Here at Synergy HQ, we are always excited to have Team Members from around the world pay us a visit. This last weekend was especially exciting.
Team Director Dr. Jim Sandberg made arrangements for about 25 members of his team to fly in to Salt Lake City. Some came from Kansas, some from South Dakota, several from the east coast, some from the west coast, and even one happy Canadian! These guests were prepared to soak-up as much information as they could, information they planned to apply to their individual businesses.
Dr. Sandberg planned carefully, organizing leaders from his upline to speak to and train his team. He worked with Synergy’s corporate staff to arrange a tour of the manufacturing facility. Lynda Hammons, Synergy’s VP of Quality Assurance, was there to welcome the group and give them an up-close look at each lab in her department. The group met and learned from members of our Executive Team, including Synergy President Dan Norman and VP Stewart Rutter.
This group brought a contagious energy, and made each tour and training session a lot of fun. Most had already experienced the benefits of the products for themselves. All were enthusiastic about the earning potential created by the compensation plan. They enjoyed meals together, learned from each other, helped on another and an overall fantastic team experience.
On behalf of Synergy North America, we would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jim Sandberg and everyone of his guests for coming to be with us at this event. It was truly a pleasure to have you, and we wish you all the best in your efforts.
To any other leaders that would be interested in following Dr. Sandberg’s example, we invite you to
contact us. We would be happy to help you organize an exclusive event for your Team.
Remember: The
2014 Business Builder Conference is just over two months away. Many of those who were here last weekend will be attending this event as well, as the Business Builder Conference is an unparalleled event for Synergy’s North American Team Members. The early-bird registration discount ends this Friday, February 28. Don’t miss it—

Company CSO Announces Plans for Labs, Clinics and Trials
Last night, Dr. Matthew Tripp, Chief Scientific Officer of Synergy/NSP, spoke to a large number of listeners on this month’s Cardio Call. Dr. Tripp had some important and fascinating things to say about our company’s research and development plans and our mission to reverse chronic disease. Here are a few of the highlights:
“After meeting with the top management of the [Synergy/NSP], what I recognized was that their vision and my passion are very well aligned. My passion is to make a difference in the world. You might call it a personal mission, if you will. It’s not religion based, it’s just seeing a great level of chronic illness in the world and asking ‘how can I make a difference’ and ‘how can we work together.’ That’s what impressed me about the folks at Synergy and Nature’s Sunshine. They cared very much. They wanted to leverage what they had to do bigger, better things.”
“We are building a molecular and cellular biology lab for discovery, a chemistry lab and a clinic. We’ll be running human clinical trials on our discoveries and also on many of our fine products to demonstrate their clinical efficacy. We’ll have state-of-the-art instrumentation. We’ll be developing our own intellectual property. It’s a full blown discovery and development project.”

ABOUT THE EXPERT
Dr. Matthew Tripp received a Ph.D. from Washington State University in Physiology/Microbial Genetics/Microbiology; an M.A. in Microbial Physiology/Bacterial Genetics and a B.S. in Biology both from Western Michigan University. He completed extensive post-doctoral research at the University of California – San Diego where he discovered novel protein phosphorylation cascades involved in nutrient signaling (nutrigenomics) – processes that when disrupted by poor diet, lead to metabolic disease and chronic illness.
His career includes leadership roles and R&D responsibilities at the Kellogg Company, the Miller Brewing Company and Metagenics. He served as the Vice President of Research and Development at Metagenics, a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of high quality dietary supplements and medical foods sold through health care practitioners in the U.S. and pharmacies abroad. He also concurrently served as Senior Vice President, Research and Development, at KinDex Therapeutics, a biotechnology company.
At Metagenics, Dr. Tripp had direct responsibility for managing the discovery, development, safety, and clinical validation of medical foods and nutraceuticals. Significantly, he led the creation of a substantial body of proprietary intellectual property, resulting in over 100 patents and patent applications.
Now, at Nature’s Sunshine Products, the parent company of Synergy WorldWide, Dr. Tripp serves as the Chief Scientific Officer. His responsibilities include working to oversee the company’s product research and development operations. Furthermore, he plays a critical role in clearly defining, developing and communicating the Company’s science strategy and vision to achieve higher organic growth and profitability through innovation.

SPOTLIGHT: Dr. Jim Sandberg
|
Dr. Sandberg with his wife Dianne. |
One of North America’s two newest Team Directors, Dr. Jim Sandberg is a man who finds it easy to be passionate about Synergy WorldWide. This passion, when combined with exemplary focus and confidence, has helped him a great deal and will continue to take him far in his business. From his home outside of Los Angeles, Dr. Sandberg was kind enough to spare some time for an interview, in which we spoke about his current momentum and some of the keys to his success.
About Dr. Jim Sandberg
The first thing you should know about Dr. Sandberg is that he is no stranger to health, fitness, nutrition or supplements. With an undergraduate degree in nutrition and a history of working with organizations including Mr. Olympia and Muscle & Fitness Magazine, this is one doctor who knows the value of quality supplementation.
“I was taking l-arginine before I knew about Synergy, because I’ve always known about how it stimulates Nitric Oxide. I’ve always worked with a lot of sports guys. I was always aware of a lot of supplements. But there is just nothing that even comes close to ProArgi-9+. That’s the crazy part. There’s not even a drug that comes close to this. With ProArgi-9+, there’s all this crazy stuff that we can heal. But on the sports market, you talk to so many people that work out and will spend hundredd if not thousands of dollars on different supplements, and they’ll do it even if it’s bad for them, even if it’s illegal, just to get a 1% bump, a 1% performance increase. But we can give them so much more than that, something so much better, it’s crazy. That’s why I’m doing this. Because it’s so easy to get fired up about it and no one knows about it. It’s just that good.”
About his Team Mentality
Dr. Sandberg is happy about his recent rank advancement, but when speaking with him, the noticeable excitement seemed to come when spoke about the success of his fellow Team Members. Perhaps this trait is the real key to his success.
“I’ve got guys like Bruce Lewandowski, Dr. Glenn Clearie, Dr. Douglas Pfeiffer, some of these guys that have only been involved since April, and now, just a couple weeks ago, they had 150 people at an event! Their volume is just going through the roof, they are having conference calls… these guys are doing some great things.”
Attending team events is another part of business building that Dr. Sandberg considers to be crucially important. While conversing about the recent event that he attended in Philadelphia, he said:
“It was a great event. If we are talking about events, the main reason my guys hosted the Pennsylvania event is because, back in April, when they went to the Business Builder Conference in Vegas, a light bulb came on in their heads. Before they were just kind of like ‘uh, I dunno. We kind of like the product, but we’ll see about the rest.’ But then they experience Vegas and BOOM. They started cranking it. They started kicking [tail]. Then they said ‘we want our own Vegas. They gave us education, they gave us motivation, training… we need to do that for our guys. We need to do our own Vegas.’ And they did it. They had their Vegas.”
Why Dr. Sandberg Attends Synergy Events
|
At Leadership Academy 2013 in Park City, UT. |
“Every time I go I learn. The more you’re involved, the more you dive in and want to learn. You’re going to get better. Attending events ties you in. It gets you more tied in with who we are, where we are going, what works, what doesn’t… the events are cram courses in what we are doing.
You do that with anything that’s important, wouldn’t you? You go to your kids’ parent-teacher conference even though you are working with your kid everyday on his homework. You still go, even if you hear about the things you’ve worked on every day, you still want to go hear from the teacher, see how he’s doing, increase the potential success. It’s the same kind of thing. The more involved you are, the more successful you are going to be.
I just heard Marty Holker say something he’s been saying for years, but at this past event I heard it a little differently, and it made me think about things a little bit different. It’s good for you. It plugs you into a system that’s been built for you.”
Confidence and Consistency
“It’s easy to do this because I’m passionate about it. When you see what our product does, it’s pretty easy to get passionate about it. I think the passion and a little bit of working smart makes it pretty darn simple.
It doesn’t seem like work. I don’t ever feel like I’m pushing this on anybody, but I talk to a lot of people about it. All that I do is give people the information. I’ll talk to five guys today, and if they become distributors or if none of them even become customers, in the big scheme of things it won’t matter because I’m not going to do this for just one day. I’m going to be doing this everyday for the next three, four or five years. If I am consistent I will have success. I am never pushing on anyone, and no one ever feels like I’m pushing on them. But I talk to a lot of people and just ask ‘are you interested to know what I’ve been working with for the past couple of years?'”
The Need for Focus
“What I always try to explain to my team is this: You’ve got to have Synergy always somewhere in your vision. If it’s in the back of your head, you don’t see it very often, you don’t think about and you don’t do much. If it’s off to the side, off to the right, when you look to the right once in a while, you see it, you get a little involved and you get a little success.
If its straight out in front of you, no matter what you do all day long, you see it. All day long I’m involved in Synergy. When I go on my walks in the morning, I mean, I’m not doing work all the time, but I’m always thinking about it. So, on my walks, as I’m walking my dogs, I’m thinking about what I’m going to do, who I am gonna call, strategy, ideas… ‘What about this guy?’ ‘Why don’t I call him?’ ‘How can I get him motivated?’ …it’s always front and center, you know? I think you can use the same analogy for anything. If its important to you, it’ll be somewhere right in front of your vision and you’ll always be dealing with it.”
Dr. Jim Sandberg, Heading to Cancun with Synergy?
“I do want to go! I want to golf and do a little fishing and hang out with everyone. So, I’ll make sure I get the points.”
We hope to see Dr. Sandberg enjoying the beach with the rest of our Top 50 Challenge winners. Synergy is excited about his recent advancement, and we offer him a sincere “congratulations.” We are grateful for his time, his wise words, and for the great things he and his team will be accomplishing in the near future.
