Why I Joined As A Beautycounter Marketing consultant aka Model Advocate

This spring marks 4 years since I dedicated to switching over to scrub magnificence and skincare and have become a Beautycounter advisor (now known as model advocate). I solely want I had began sooner (so does my pores and skin!)

Like most individuals, I stated “no thanks” 20 instances earlier than I stated sure. I knew it was an ideal firm, and I had little doubt I would really like the merchandise. I beloved Beautycounter’s mission, however I didn’t need one other “factor” to should do. 

What I didn’t know but was that the “factor I’ve to do” has turned out to be certainly one of my favourite elements of KERF to work on!

Being an Advocate with Beautycounter isn’t as huge of a deal because it may appear.

There are not any month-to-month spending necessities or events it’s a must to host in your front room. You don’t should develop a staff to earn cash. There are not any recruiting necessities and I’d not have joined if there have been. 

The best way you run your Beautycounter enterprise is 100% as much as you. 

You determine who, what, the place, when, how, and the way a lot! You’ll be able to have a wholly on-line enterprise (like I do) or when you hate social media you possibly can have a small circle of purchasers in your actual life. Folks do it each methods. Some Advocates by no means promote to any purchasers and buy sufficient themselves to maintain their low cost. That’s OK too!
