Ray’s MessageOne thing we’ve found out since relocating to South Florida last year: the summers are HOT! But the days are not as hot as the 10,000 Bottle Bonanza GiveAway, which has exploded since the SE3TM announcement on June 5th! In fact, so many IBPs qualified for the promotion so fast by purchasing the specially-priced SE3 Activation Pack that it left some others “out in the cold” because they were too slow on the trigger.

Since we don’t want anyone to miss out on this unbelievable opportunity, we are responding to the overwhelming demand to extend the 10,000 Bottle Bonanza past its planned deadline of June 30 (See page 3.) Everyone now has until sundown on JULY 11 to order SE3 Activation Packs (6 or 12 bottles at $50 each) to qualify to have FREE bottles of SE3 mailed to up to 15 prospects. For many people, this date – 7/11 – has always been called “the luckiest day in the year,” and we cannot agree more… Anyone who snaps up the 10,000 Bottle Bonanza by 7/11 is assured of the exciting, lucky outcome that a very savvy business move can bring!

And there is more excitement in Stemtech’s Global Family… I’d like to congratulate our newest President’s Club Member and newest Triple Diamond Director, BOTH from South

Korea (See page 4). Under the enhanced compensation plan, these IBPs saw their commission checks jump (61% for Chung Ho.Ahn and 520% for In Soon.Kim) as a result of their rank advancements! These leaps illustrate that -- by design -- the enhanced plan rewards everyone who moves up in rank more significantly than ever before.

We’ve also added some new, rewarding ways to move up to the Director rank quickly, so be sure to check those out on page 8, and train your new enrollees to take advantage of them! We’ve added a special new recognition milestone at 10,000 OGV, which includes an exciting cash bonus, website accolades and special treatment at our Convention in September, too. We call this milestone the “10K Club”

and it’s the place to be! See page 9.

Speaking of places to be… Have you made plans to be with us at Stemtech’s Convention here in Florida in September? Since this autumn marks our TENTH year in business, you can expect some super-special celebrations during the 2015 Convention weekend. Make sure that you are here for all of them!

A-macroclada (A-Mac) grows naturally in the central, hilly part of the island of Madagascar. Stemtech works with a consortium of local farmers who are planting A-Mac on plantations, where the plants can enjoy the best conditions for growth. This arrangement is a win-win for the local Malagasy people,

the economy of Madagascar and for Stemtech’s dedication to quality assurance in every step of the manufacture of all our products.

It takes about three years for a new A-Mac plant to reach maturity where its leaves can be harvested. Plantation managers oversee the harvest, ensuring proper procedures where only some of the leaves of each plant are cut off, leaving the plant healthy for new growth and saving leaves for future harvests.

Harvested leaves are bundled, then carried by workers (on their heads) to the local collection point where they are transported to the processing

facility. There, the leaves are sorted and weighed to prepare them for the next step, where the plant’s gel is extracted. The gel is then dried and packaged for transport to our manufacturing facility in the United States for further processing and blending with the other ingredients of SE3.

While the A-Mac procurement is going on in Madagascar, halfway around the world, the other new component of SE3, Astragalus membrenaceus (Astragalus), is being processed in China. Procedures for processing Astragalus ensure that Stemtech receives the best quality ingredient, once it has been processed in China and shipped to our manufacturing facility here in Florida.

As we have done since 2005 with every one of our products, our manufacturing procedures for SE3 employ the stringent regulations of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) that have always ensured consistency, purity and efficacy of all Stemtech products. It is important to us that you get the best product from Stemtech every time you open a bottle.

QUESTION: What has to happen before A-macroclada from Madagascar and Astragalus membrenaceus from China are blended with AFA, Fucoidan and cordyceps to make SE3TM?

Interview from the FieldFrom time to time, we will publish interviews with Independent Business Partners about current topics of interest to other IBPs. This month we interviewed Triple Diamond Director Susan Strandberg of Washington State, who is the daughter of Merlie and Denny Kluver, veteran Stemtech Field

Leaders and Triple Diamonds.

We asked Susan to tell us about Stemtech’s recent Business Academy held in Florida. Here is her interview:

EDITOR: What was the main reason you wanted to attend the 2015 Business Academy?

SUSAN: To be truthful, my dad and I have missed our Stemtech family so much; we just couldn’t wait to get to Florida to see everyone!

EDITOR: Looking back on the weekend, what were the most outstanding or memorable experiences for you?

SUSAN: Just being there another year with Daddy was the BEST! When Don Karn and Daddy saw each other, the tears came down. Seeing them hug, it was truly a blessed event.

All of the presenters were awesome! Don Karn, Cy Nelson, and Dr. Allan Somersall were funny, serious, and just outstanding! I was happy to finally meet Jerry Rapplean in person. What a great guy to bring to the team! There was not a dull moment at the Academy this year.

The Old West theme was fun for us all. Sheriff John Meyer did a great job all weekend, and the 10,000 Bottle Bonanza Gold Rush was just fantastic.

EDITOR: Were there surprises?

SUSAN: One of the best surprises was the introduction of SE3TM and the amazing 10,000 Bottle Bonanza deal they offered everyone who attended the Academy. I jumped on a Gold Pack right away and earned free bottles for 30 prospects by doing that. What a nice way to help all of us build our business!

At breakfast each morning the corporate staff made ST-5TM drinks for all of us, too. The surprise comes in because there were no labels on the serving jugs. But I could tell by the taste that this “mystery drink” will be the NEW ST-5. It was even smoother and the taste was more delicious than the current ST-5… if that is even possible!

The many awards were wonderful surprises, too. There were two “Going the Extra Mile” Awards, and I am proud to say my daddy was awarded one of them. Seeing Daddy run up on stage so many times for awards was priceless! And I was happy to run up there a few times myself. The awards banquet was spot-on all the way around! EDITOR: Speaking as a veteran of many Stemtech Conventions and training opportunities, what was different or special about the 2015 BA?

SUSAN: Having Ray and Christian at this Academy was very special. Also, everything was personal, and the excitement never let down the whole weekend. Being part of the 10,000 Bottle Bonanza launch was such an opportunity; it was brilliant thinking to offer the contest first to the Academy attendees. Overall, there was lots of action and enthusiasm all weekend long!

Another special thing: The printed handouts were the best tools we have seen! Even better… We were able to pick up packs of them in the Stemtech store. I have already been sharing them here at home with my prospects.

EDITOR: Do you believe the Business Academy experience was different for a relatively new IBP from the experience you and other veterans had?

SUSAN: Yes. Their experience was equally as special as ours, since everything was very personal and very memorable for them, as new IBPs were acknowledged and applauded on stage. I heard many of them say how much fun they were having, how much they had learned and that they won’t miss another Business Academy.

EDITOR: Summing up... What makes Stemtech different from other companies, in your opinion?

SUSAN: I feel very blessed to be part of the greatest company in the world, one that is very strong and moving forward when many others our shutting their doors. The integrity which is upheld is so impressive and I appreciate how loyal and dedicated all the IBPs are with the company.

One of the things I appreciate so much is how our company gives back to global communities. At the Academy, Christian told us about Stemtech’s business relationship in Madagascar, where an ingredient for SE3 is grown and harvested. It is heartwarming to hear that our company is helping the local communities by developing farms, building roads and schools, and doing much more. WOW!

What are your MAIN REASONS why you will attend Business Academy 2016?

1. I haven’t missed a convention or academy yet; I will be there with bells on!

2. I love hearing first-hand all about the new products, the growth of the company and plans for the future, also seeing all our Stemtech family.

I will definitely be there next time! (Hope to see you there, too.)

EUROPEAN UNIONGREAT BRITAIN In the middle of May on a glorious London spring day, we held a Super Saturday in a room packed with IBPs and many guests eager to learn about Stemtech. We updated everyone on the European Union regulations concerning proper verbiage when promoting nutritional supplements, ensuring that all IBPs working in EU markets use proper wording when talking or writing about our products.

The key phrase is “inner potential.” When referencing the function of products, this phrase is integral to the description. Examples:

“SE2® supports the ability to release your inner potential.”

“StemFlo® supports your ability to circulate your inner potential.”

“ST-5TM supports the migration of your inner potential.”

Therefore, in the European markets “RCM” expands to “RCM – IP.” Simple!

FRANCE After a meeting with IBPs and many guests in Strasbourg, the Stemtech EU headquarters, and another day training EU staff on the products and opportunity, I spent time in the countryside with a couple who raise race horses. They were very

eager to talk about StemEquine® and to try our powerful product with their quality race horses.

I ended this leg of my European training tour with a webinar on the products and the “RCM-IP” verbiage regulations of the EU, so all European IBPs are on the same page when they share our products.

RUSSIA Next I jetted off to Moscow to launch StemFlo and hold a mini-Business Academy in a very large room that was packed with IBPs and guests from all over Russia, a country spanning two continents (Europe and Asia). Many people had driven up to 12 hours or flown from as far away as Mongolia for this meeting! In our two lively and productive days in Moscow, we successfully launched StemFlo and sold out of all the products on offer over the weekend. To keep the momentum going, I am doing a webinar on July 2 for this rapidly expanding market.

AFRICASOUTH AFRICAAs I write this, Senior VP Jonathan Lester and I are just completing a tour in South Africa (Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg), where we have held two meetings a day for IBPs, updating them on Stemtech’s plans for growth and how these plans can make a greater impact than ever before for active, working IBPs. Our training has included important topics like recruiting (with awareness of “The 3 Kinds of People”), presenting the products in the right way, keeping discussions succinct and realistic and always following up. Jono’s unveiling of plans for future products brought smiles all around the room in each meeting.

Open meetings for guests followed. Each room had a good number of guests present, with Durban taking top honors, as more than half the room was filled with interested guests. It is clear that South Africa is poised for growth, with the excellent Johannesburg staff ready and eager to support IBPs and welcome their many new team members.

SUMMARYStemtech is truly a global business. For all North Americans who have business in Stemtech’s offshore markets or who are seeking to expand business into these markets, please know: You can be confident that the staffs in Stemtech’s global markets are highly competent to help you grow your business and work with the IBPs that you enroll in their countries.

This is an exciting time to be in Stemtech! All around the world we are growing, launching new products and helping people to help themselves through Stemtech’s Innovation, Wellness and Prosperity.

More than 220 people crowded the Moscow meeting, some traveling more than 12 hours.
