Convention Awards 101—A Basic “How To” on Winning with USANA
Attention all award-seeking Associates: we’ve got some exciting news. Due to the enormous amount of recognition our Associates have earned, we will be handing out a different award in every general session at Convention! It’s a strategic move on our part to make each award recipient’s winning moment as special as it should be.
It’s important for you to focus on what the awards mean and how you can earn one. After all, how can you be expected to win an award you know hardly anything about? That’s why we’ve assembled this nifty guide, which covers the basics of each award and how you can win one.
Here’s a closer look at the awards often referred to as “The Big 5”:
Distributor of the Year
If you’re an Associate looking to rack up as many USANA accolades as possible, this award should be your end goal. If you end up on the Convention stage accepting this award, you know you’re the best. This award recognizes USANA’s Top Income Earner who demonstrates vision and dedication in sharing the message of true health and true wealth.
2012 recipient: Rita Hui, 11-Star Diamond Director
“Now that my team has developed maturely throughout various countries, I am able to enjoy my harvest by relishing my free time and traveling the world with my family.”
Dr. Wentz Vision Award
When Dr. Wentz created USANA, he had a very specific vision—a vision of a world free from suffering and disease. So if you want this award, you really have to act as a catalyst, putting this vision into action.
These nominees and winner are chosen by Dr. Wentz, himself and are truly living his vision.
2012 recipient: Tony & Tammy Daum, 2-Star Diamond Directors
"Thank you Dr. Wentz for giving all of us a vehicle to impact the lives of people we may never meet in places we may never go."
President’s Award
The President’s Award. Sounds special, right? Well, it is! And if you’re dying to clench this shiny trophy one day, you’d better hope you’ve got business savvy. This accolade is reserved for the Top Growth Earner who continually shares the USANA opportunity and the benefits of financial freedom with others.
2012 recipient: Simon & Kelly Chan and Scott McGee, 3-Star Diamond Directors
"We know our success depends on sponsoring new people, helping them reach their goals, and developing leaders in new markets."
Rookie of the Year
If you’re an Associate just getting started with USANA, pay attention. Just because you’re a “newbie” doesn’t mean you can’t start earning a decent paycheck, attending Convention, and—most importantly—winning awards! With the Rookie of the Year award, make sure you’re the no. 1 Associate out of USANA’s “Rising Stars,” and BAM—you’ll be on the Convention stage with the veterans.
2012 recipient: Tracy Wenkman, Gold Director
"I want to keep growing a solid business and helping as many people as I can with out great products."
Top Active Associate Enroller
The name of the award says it all. You want it? Enroll more Associates than anyone else in the company. Simple as that! Fair warning though: it’s much easier said than done.
2012 recipient: Janny Chu & Denise Chen, Diamond Directors
"USANA enriched our lives by letting us have the time to actually enjoy a healthy life and spend quality time with family."
Getting in on one of the “Big 5” awards is a big deal. But those awards aren’t the end all, be all. Take a look at the other nine categories that are recognized. Once you see just how much recognition there is to be earned, we hope you’ll take the first step toward winning your own accolade.
