Associate Leader Insight May 2010
Teamwork that Reaches Around the World It’s a good thing that Sophie Chung trusts her husband Hee Chan more than anyone in the world. She otherwise might not have been able to roll with the abrupt change he put before her when he joined ASEA. Hee Chan had flown to Utah as a prospective key leader with another company. “There were 12 of us at the meeting,” Hee Chan says, “and four of us were also invited to meet with Verdis before we returned home.” At Verdis’s office, they heard all about ASEA. “We were very impressed with the office, and we sampled the product,” Hee Chan remembers. “I looked at the ingredients list: water and sodium chloride. I said, ‘Is that salt?’ Verdis said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘What else is in it?’ He said, ‘Electricity.’” Hee Chan then got some one-on-one time with Verdis and even spent some time with him and his wife in their home. “I didn’t know any other way to get a feel for what kind of a person Verdis was,” Hee Chan explains. “His office looked perfect; the product, pristine. I couldn’t decide based on that, and I only had a few hours.” A seasoned networker who knows what to look for in a network marketing company, Hee Chan put Verdis to the test. “I asked all the hard questions,” he says, “and when I sensed his sincerity, I decided that if his product does what he said it does, I had to help him get it out to people.” So Hee Chan returned home and told Sophie what he had found. They were not necessarily looking for a business—Hee Chan had even told Sophie that he didn’t know if ASEA was going to be a great opportunity. “We just had a moral obligation to bring this to the world,” he asserts. When Sophie tried ASEA, she didn’t like the taste, which actually made her glad. “They gave it to us as-is, in its pure, most beneficial form.” The more people Sophie shared ASEA with, the more phone calls she got. “They wanted to do the business more than I did. I almost didn’t have a choice!” she laughs. That’s how Hee Chan and Sophie’s organization went from just two people to an organization of more than 3,300 in the two short months they’ve been spreading the word. Both agree that it’s their passion for the product that attracts people. Sophie says, “You move people’s hearts by your own heart.” Hee Chan and Sophie work their business from their home in Suwanee, Georgia.
