Seung Ho, Hyun Ja, and Jae Kim lead by example
On the surface, you will sense the kindness, generosity, and graciousness of Seung Ho and Hyun Ja Kim. Whatever your level of fluency in Korean, your company will be welcomed.
That message is brought to life in the smiles, handshakes, and dumpling scent that wafts from their kitchen.
The good will is not limited to guests only.
Anyone in Kim's life, whether it be a neighbour, friend, colleague, or employee, is treated as a part of the Kim family.
They sincerely adore people, says Jae Kim, Seung Ho and Hyun Ja's 25-year-old son.
For them, it is the most fulfilling thing in life to serve others.
They are in this industry to help as many other people as possible realise their ambitions.
The Kims are quite successful at their passion.
They've developed the largest Quixtar® chapter in North America, connecting Boston to Toronto to California.
Through tireless work ethic and the desire to help others, they have expanded their business to the Triple Diamond level.
Many people had a desire, but they forgot it because it seemed unachievable, explains Seung Ho. To assist them achieve their dreams, leaders should encourage and inspire others.
People can see that by looking at my life that 'I've been there, and you can too.'
“We tell individuals that this business is simple and we break it down step-by-step,” said Hyunja. To gain familiarity with the items, start using them, then share them with your friends and family, then go out and approach clients about the business potential.
One step at a time is the simplest way. We are always ready to assist our people.
IBOs frequently fund their first significant meeting expenditures because of the Kims' dedication to their downline.
They often go on speaking tours across the country to deliver speeches at gatherings organised by their downline and host free websites that provide essential business advice in Korean.
Jae is someone his parents have assisted a lot, particularly as an Independent Business Owner.
He was 9 when he started unpacking inventory at gatherings and 18 when he became an IBO, but it took a few years for him to really comprehend the possibilities before him.
Jae admits to struggling with usual teenage issues and failing to put parents' advice or time to good use.
My parents didn't pressure or lecture me, but they wanted me to really consider my future and the business.
That's not their style. They set a great example, doing the right thing, consistently.
Jae has recently become a partner in his parents' firm, and though some people might assume working with relatives is tough, he finds it quite natural.
He says, “I greatly admire my parents' wisdom.”
We talk and talk till we finish one other's sentences.
I prefer it this way because I believe communication is essential to our success.
Effective communication skills are crucial in all businesses, but teaching them is difficult.
Technical abilities can be learnt, but it is much more difficult to acquire soft skills.
Many factors helped to make these accomplished business people.
To conclude, Hyun-Ja and Jae credit Seung-Ho with being a capable leader, having a strong grasp of future-oriented ideas and effective strategic planning. His mastery of psychology and his techniques for promoting cooperation and smooth interpersonal relations has continually astonished them.
Seung Ho has many people skills because of his jovial nature.
He jokes with his family during the Achieve® photo session and tries to get piggyback rides on Jae while pretending to run off with construction signs.
The answer is simple, because Hyun Ja is undoubtedly the family's queen.
She is quite graceful, says Jae. "She is serene and gorgeous and exquisite, yet below it all, she is constantly working like a motorboat."
Hyun Ja's enormous energy is impossible to miss; she's constantly moving and tidying, always ready to provide refreshments or offer assistance.
Hands-on involvement is par for the course for Hyun Ja, selling things and IBO prospecting alike.
When she's on the road, Jae's mother is likely to jump at any chance to offer their business prospect.
She offered her number to an airport check-in employee, who was Korean, and she also sought out her flight seatmate, who was Korean.
Both became IBOs and friends of the Kims.
“My folks can accurately pick out visionaries,” Jae claims. Nothing is more intense than sitting with someone, staring into their eyes, and witnessing the dream burning inside them.
When seeking highly driven individuals, a pool of 10 instead of 100 will be considerably more useful.
For the family business, Jae feels finding the right individuals is key.
There's no way the Kims would do it. “Who has the best chance of dancing?” says Jae. If you like, we'll happily play the music for you.
a lengthy and winding road
Despite the apparent appearance of success, the Kims have faced many trials and tribulations on their way to prominence.
When the family first came from Korea, they lived in a small apartment in Flushing—and that was when they first spotted the business possibilities.
Seung Ho was unable to work, recovering from a devastating stroke that robbed half of his body of normal function.
Although Hyun-Ja recognised the promise the business had for their future, Seung-Ho was reluctant. With her positive attitude and positivity, Hyun Ja finally won him over.
The Kims had early troubles, being new to America, and with learning English.
They joined together and surrounded themselves with a talented team, which included proficient English speakers, worked hard to grasp the (Quixtar IBO Compensation) Plan and the products, and never lost faith, even when success appeared impossible.
The company attributes its success to exclusive items and strong support from the Corporation.
“The products have no equal,” adds Hyun Ja. “They're easy to share with others.”
People like XS™ Energy Drinks, Artistry® skin care and cosmetics, and Nutrilite® supplements.
The Kims like the Corporation's increased Korean language support, including a sales advisor who's proficient in Korean.
multicultural, cross-generational
The Kims have no wish to limit their business to only Korean race.
They have a fast-growing Hispanic downline, and are happy to take new members from all around the world.
Kim descendants embrace IBOs of any age, especially those under 25. Jae's increased involvement in the firm has aided the diversity of their group across cultures and age groupings.
“Jae really enjoys connecting with a wide range of people,” says Hyunja. “No matter how different they may seem, he finds a way to connect with everybody.”
It is also crucial to teach kids that they, too, can build the business, and show the elder generation that the firm can easily be passed on to the next generation.
“This business is extremely important,” adds Seung Ho. It's one of the main perks that the business offers.
All their doubts have been put to rest by their son's dedication, enthusiasm, and people skills.
Hyun Ja has greatly exceeded our expectations, he says. He's consistently committed and passionate in all he does. There is no doubt that he will raise our family business to new heights in the future.
The future is something the Kims anticipate.
