What Some Business Leaders Are Saying About the Star Achievers TEAM "System"
If you haven’t heard about this “system”, let me introduce the Star Achievers Team. This system is simple, but very radical because it is systemized. (Think franchise). You haven't heard or seen anything like this before.
The Purpose of the Star Achievers Team is to aid Shaklee distributors to be profitable and to obtain the results they desire with their business. Through our conference calls and our training programs you will learn the laws, principles, concepts and ideas of the network marketing industry.
One of the success principles of network marketing is to have a mentor. We have adopted Dale Calvert as our mentor because he is a master trainer in the network marketing industry. In the 1990’s Dale Calvert started a network marketing company out of his basement and did over $100 million dollars in sales in less than five years. How? Using a UNIFIED, DUPLICABLE SYSTEM. We have adapted this system.
The Star Achievers Team has taken Dale Calvert’s concepts and principles of using a unified duplicable system to build your team. We have the system and processes that have been tailored to build a Shaklee distributorship business. We have workbooks for all the systems that we teach and train so no one is left in doubt of what to do, what to say, and what to do next. To understand the system and how to use it, we have an information training call for current business builders who are a part of the Star Achievers Team.
Our system is simple, duplicable and proven to work! It's not a get-rich-quick scheme, nor do we promise to do it all for you or claim you can kick back and do nothing while someone else makes money for you; nor do we tease you with a particular sum of money your first day or month. But, if you're willing to follow a simple plan with guidance and support from our team, you'll build a lucrative and lasting business. Learn the skills, concepts, principles and ideas needed to be successful in the network marketing industry.
Understand that the ideas principles and concepts of the system are NOT DEBATABLE. (ie. You can't sell Pepsi at McDonald's) The system works and our passionate desire is to teach people how to work with the system for their success and to get them into profit. There is no place for deviations, changes, questioning or negativity about our program.
Here is what some Shaklee independent distributor business leaders are saying about the Star Achievers Team system!
"Three years ago I set a goal of Shaklee Coordinator. To reach that goal and to build my business I tried many things. I attended Dani Johnson’s First Step and Dynasty training seminars. They were good seminars, I got motivated, but I still did NOT have a process. I also bought Dani’s training materials, signed up for the website and bought leads. That system was an email follow-up with no process for the “next step”.
Plus I bought books from Mike Littman, Michael Oliver, Bob Proctor and other MLM trainers hoping to get the information from them for a process or a system; still no system. I was in Create My Future for almost a year; where I attended live lead calls and training calls on using the system; bought leads and called the leads; still I asked myself when I “get someone” what am I going to DO?
Then I was introduced to the Star Achievers Team in February 2008 and started using the “system” right away. The system is based on the ideas from Dale Calvert that the Star Achievers Team Core members put into a “Shakleeized” version with a process using the phone and the internet. I truly have an “in-home” business that I work at home! In 3 months I promoted my first Director out thus reaching my goal of Coordinator. In following the system, I know what do with a prospect, both active and inactive Distributors, and even product prospects. Plus I’m only working with the people who are interested in the business and most importantly I know what to do next with that prospect or that distributor. Thank you Team and thank you, Dale." Marcie Hooks, Coordinator, GA

"The Star Achievers Team system benefits are many. First is my personal growth. I’ve been really reading and listening to MLM books and tapes. I’ve been studying and using the scripts for initial contact and for follow-up. I’ve listened to the 3 way calls being made. My belief has grown to such an extent that for the first time in 23 years of attending annual conferences, I came home with no negative voice, no doubt, no undermining questions about whether this could be done and I could be successful.
I’ve shut my ears to the call for first level member sponsoring. Sponsoring under my builders has gotten one to Star Associate and now she is in action. I’ve scratched people of my list, even after working with them for several months, when it became obvious that this isn’t for them and I feel free and unencumbered to work with those who want to work.
I have a system so I don’t lose people any more. My calling time is efficient and productive. My PV has grown along with my confidence. I’m listening better and asking better questions. I am surprised at how hard I’ve had to work to change the way I think and act, but it is paying off. I’m having a lot more fun calling people. I go to bed at night pleased with the day’s actions instead of telling myself how bad I procrastinated and how little I got done." Betsy Bell, Director, WA

"I want to relate how using the concepts in the Star Achievers training system are benefiting me. First, from Dale’s suggestions found in the "21 Ways To Create Local Leads", and using the bulletin board flyers, I am averaging a person a day going to my website, viewing the information and leaving me their information for follow up.
Second, because we are using scripts along with a step-by-step system, I am contacting opportunity seekers, the names of some I’ve had for more than a year but did not contact before because I didn’t know what to do with them next. But now I do. I’m pleasantly surprised at how many are still expressing an interest in a home based business. Madeline Smith, AL *********************************************
"I’ve been in Shaklee for 32 years and have never before found a system like the Star 
Achievers Team system. Originally Shaklee was my wife’s business since she had a BS in Nutrition and did nutrition counseling. I supported her and we built to Coordinator level in 1990. However a few years later our business leaders quit due to personal problems and my wife suffered a stroke. So for several years I maintained the business by supplying members with products but did little about looking for new people. After my wife passed away in 2004 I still just maintained the business but began thinking about starting to build again.
Early in 2008 I was introduced to the Star Achievers Team and recognized that with this system everything was there to start finding prospects and to know what to do when I found them. One big benefit to me was recognizing that I needed to use many ways to find prospects and to “stuff my funnel” with them so that good quality people would begin to come out of the spout.
Another benefit was the self development I began experiencing as I read the books and listened to the CDs that are recommended in the system. My business is now growing as I have reactivated several former members (some of whom had not bought products in 15 or more years). I also have found one serious business builder who is just starting on the system. I expect that within a year my business will grow substantially and I will have several serious business builders/leaders" Joe Collins, Director, MA

"I call being part of this Team my STAR moments, here's why. The Star Achievers System is what I have been in search of for years. Every year I say "this is it; I’m going to reach my goals this time." I’d write them down and try my best….yet failure seemed to loom near by. The words that I heard and believed about NWM, make money working from home, seemed hollow. How could I share my business opportunity if I myself couldn’t seem to make it work?
After trying several other programs, some with a high price tag (thousands of dollars), I was invited to take a look at the STAR ACHIEVERS TEAM. One look and I knew this is it. I finally found something I could use. I knew it would take me years to figure out this (systematic process] for myself. I also knew I needed a “track to run on”. One that would help me be the best business builder I could be finding serious, interested customers AND having a system in place to guide my new business associates so they could do the same.
The change this system has brought me is that I am in ACTION ; even though I don’t know everything yet I have confidence that I will master the system in a year or so. My new retail customers don’t complain about the product price; they just write the check! Moving into action with confidence is the best part of the STAR system!
I struggled to move back to Director rank for two years before SAT. Two months after I discovered SAT, I regained that rank! Thank you Wealth Masters Team! “JOY” Rodgers, Director, MO

"I’ve been a Sales Leader in Shaklee for many years and run good volume. I no longer had an updated system so that when I found someone interested in the business I would have the confidence of having a step by step process. Finding prospects is a necessary part of any business and after people run out of their warm market, they don’t know where to go. Star Achievers Team has lots of neat ideas for prospecting.
The conference calls and Basic Training Class every week not only help to train but also keep me challenged & accountable. Recruiting Professionals live calls have been especially educational and help even with the other calls.
The self-improvement list of books and audios helps with our confidence level even when things are not working like we’d prefer. It is exciting to see the competence and confidence levels of my downline move up dramatically through using the system. Thank you, Dale Calvert, Susie, Madeline and the entire core team for putting this together " Norma Bledsoe, Coordinatgor,IN

"I am an RN, passionate about good health and also about helping others who desire that good health
nd also financial stability in their own lives. Before the Star Achiever Team system came into my life, I tried many avenues to accomplish a reasonable amount of financial stability in my own life so I could finally retire from nursing with the financial independence that will enable me to do the things I enjoy and also support the ministries that are dear to my heart.
But, I met dead end after dead end, and was so frustrated I finally stepped back to re-evaluate. Is this what I really want? Is this business getting me to where I want to go? Should I find something else? I was so determined to succeed I knew where I wanted to go, but what path to get there? I ask of the Lord so many times!!
About that time, I had invested in another “program” whose goal is to help multi-level marketers. And although I believe nothing has been wasted in my attempts to find the right way to be a success, I wasn’t finding a fit with this particular program. So I actually put this program on hold because months earlier, I had been introduced to the Star Achievers team and I finally began to gain an understanding of the power of the unified, duplicatable system that the Star Achievers Team uses. I never did return to that program…but instead, threw myself into learning the Star Achievers Team system.
As a result, I am a new improved person on my way to achieving the goals I had long ago questioned. Hallelujah!! My belief in my self has been the biggest gain. I used to say the words.", I believe I can do this”; NOWI have the system, the support of a team , and the belief in my heart and I am so grateful to Dale Calvert, and to the Star Achiever team for helping me be the person God has designed me to be. Thank you again and again!" Chris Julian, ID

I love this step-by-step process for working my business. Everything is here: from what to do "next"... to learning more about the products and learning leadership skills on the Saturday Breakfast of Champion conference calls... to being with like-minded people working this system---other formerly frustrated people who are now so grateful to have a process that works.
My confidence that I am building a successful business is growing as my belief level grows in the 4 areas---industry, company, products and myself. The book recommendations are a tremendous help. I can't thank you enough for sharing this wonderful system and process with the rest of us! Thank YOU!! Thank YOU!! Sharon McCandless, Director, SC
*********************************************
Now that I have the training process in place it gives me the confidence to know how to build my business and retain my business builders that were looking for the same thing I was; and that is a sustaining, duplicatable business process with tax benefits. Thanks for all you and Madeline do to foster growth in our businesses and help us to focus on WHAT WORKS! Betty Jo Savoie, Director, AL

"I can't believe this,..in the last few months I've purchased the very things you suggested here! I have actually been learning already, becoming prepared for the Star Achievers Team before I knew the group existed! I've been trying to work on how to simply adapt Dale Calvert's tools to our Shaklee business, and you've done that for us! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou! Tell me this isn't just for business leaders...its for our sincere builders and those they find...etc etc." Sandy S, ME
********************************************* "I attended the [Leader information training] conference call on Saturday and found a system that I have been looking for and wanting for over 25 years. Finally we have a process in writing that can teach anyone from the start how to work the business. Right now it seems like a challenge but as I proceed I feel like I will be able to follow it and then teach it to my downline. This is what they have been wanting as well. Tell me how to do it?? I've got the answer !!!! And it doesn't cost three or four digits. I found the assistants to be very helpful and it's easy to understand if you read it word for word. I'm really excited as I now know how to become a Master Coordinator. Can't wait to get it rolling. Thank you all for sharing this system with us. See you at the TOP." Joanne Wright, Coordinator, AL
********************************************* Finally, a class that is helping me understand and lay the foundation of my business. This is the missing link that I just discovered! I am so excited to be a part of The Star Achievers Team. It is all clicking, what a wealth of information! I can do this one day at a time, as I accomplish all my goals. Thank you for sharing and caring and may you be blessed." Patricia Bost, TX
********************************************* "I think that the capture page and presentation page systems are fantastic! I started the Star Achievers system and I think it's magnificent and really covers all the bases. Thank you again, and to the whole team, for all you all do for us." Ann Fuller, WA
********************************************* "I attended the [Leader information training conference call recently]. I am so happy your team has come up with this system. It is an answer to prayer! Thank you for [answering all of my questions]. After our conversation I went to the Star Achievers Team Yahoo Groups and I started reading the Recruiting Manual word for word; and clicking on the links. Everything came together, and I realized all the hard work you have put into this system and the time and effort it has taken for you to develop this. Like tithing, when you give to someone you get back one hundred fold. You will truly be rewarded for all you have freely given to so many people! I have been with Shaklee for 24 yrs. My 25th year is just around the corner in Oct 2008! My goal is to have 25 more wonderful, healthy years of success as a "business women” with our company. I am starting your system step by step as if I am brand new in Shaklee." Susan Covalesky, Senior Coordinator, PA

Thank you for responding very clearly about how the updates work. I have to say, it has been completely smooth and amazing to me that I actually have webpages! Practically overnight! This system is so comprehensive, anyone can do this without training in advance. Thank you to the team that put in an overwhelming amount of work! I have tried to create a simple system of my own in the past and put in countless hours and it was stressful trying to make sense of it all. It is just a few pages! So, oh my gosh.....I truly am thankful for what you all have done. You are all truly terrific leaders and I am so glad I was introduced to the system. With Appreciation" Leslie Tabor, Director, IL
