I can't take credit for this post, my upline leader composed it, but I couldn't have said it better myself so I wanted to include it here for you all to read!
This is the BEST TIME EVER to be building a network marketing or direct sales business. There are 3 very important trends happening right now (both in the United States and several countries around the world) which are converging to make your business opportunity VERY attractive. The bottom line – you are sitting right in the middle of a “sweet spot,” that is positioning your business for some real growth in the next few years.
Here’s why:
1. Big challenges in our economy
Although the economy has improved since the crash of 2008, there are still plenty of people who are concerned about being laid off or their overall financial security. Many people are still wary of the stock market, and not expecting much growth in real estate any time soon. This is all good news for you.
Perhaps the greatest gift people have experienced through the challenges of the last few years is the realization that we can’t rely on “traditional methods” to make money, or trust in others to take care of our financial security. Having a “Plan B” isn’t just a nice idea, it’s a total necessity.
There’s a big wake-up call happening – which is inspiring many more corporate execs and working professionals to look to less traditional ways to generate capital, including network marketing. And this trend is going to continue, as the reputation and credibility of the network marketing/direct sales profession continues to elevate around the world.
2. Technology
The rapid growth of the internet, mobile phones, and social media tools like Facebook has literally blown the doors off the network marketing/direct sales profession – making it easier than ever for you to find leads, take care of customers and build a large team (virtually anywhere in the world).
Unlike the “old days” when the start-up costs for new distributors were much higher (and signing up with a company generally meant filling up your garage full of products – which you may or may not sell…) technology has changed everything. Today, it’s easier than ever to service your existing customers (generally with just the push of a button) and even find new ones. Social media platforms like Facebook now boast over 900 MILLION users, and with a little strategy and know how, you can use these tools to find hundreds of super qualified leads for your business.
This new “streamlined, super leveraged” way of building a business is now attracting new people into the profession. From Gen Y college kids to baby boomers, health and wellness professionals to people with degrees up the yin yang… people who previously weren’t that interested in network marketing are now paying attention and getting involved. Experts now predict that this “technology revolution” will make network marketing/direct sales a “household word” – and TENS of MILLIONS of people will be getting involved in companies just like yours in the next decade. Obviously, this is fantastic news for you!
And the MOST important reason to be in network marketing/direct sales right now…
3. More women than ever are leaving the corporate world to start businesses from home
Fed up with the stress, long hours, low pay and corporate politics, women are leaving the traditional job market in droves, and starting businesses from home – at the rate of over 400 a day here in the US (and that’s a trend that’s being echoed around the world!)
And many of these women are seeing the potential in network marketing and direct sales, jumping in with both feet – and doing extremely well. Over the years, I’ve had the great opportunity to coach and mentor several ex-corporate gals like this – and I’m constantly amazed and inspired to see how well they do in this profession.
Many of them have quickly replaced their previous incomes, developed large teams (sometimes in many different countries) and now have the kind of lifestyle and free time that just isn’t possible when working in a traditional job.
And most inspiring of all, the women involved in network marketing / direct sales today are NOT just about making money, they’re equally invested in making a DIFFERENCE. I know so many women who are joining this profession, not just because of the money or lifestyle you can create, but because of the ways you can help people literally TRANSFORM THEIR lives through your products, your business opportunity, and even by channeling the money you make in your business towards causes that are dear to your heart.
The bottom line is, there are PLENTY of savvy, professional women out there who desperately need new options, and your business fits the bill in so many ways. Whether you are a man – or a woman, you’re smart to recruit these gals into your business; all you have to do is find these gals, and show them how YOUR opportunity is the ultimate solution they’re looking for.

A Word About Prospecting
So, I come across people everyday that I can share Rodan+Fields with. Some situations will naturally be easier than others. For example, approaching someone at the grocery store - awkward and weird. Approaching another mom at a play group after we have already made a morning full of small talk- easy and natural. It's not even about zoning in with targeted sales approaches. The easiest flow of conversation happens when you are already engaged. It is at this point that normal questions such as, "what do you do?" or "are you a stay at home mom?" are usually asked. BAM! Easy! Hello! Now you are free to just say what you do. Also keep in mind, that not everyone cares, or will want in on this fabulous opportunity and that's okay!! Through consistent sharing though, you will find people that are curious or downright ready to sign on the dotted line. If you strive to talk to 5 people a day, you will eventually build a solid team and start increasing your paycheck.

sales? Not exactly.
Hi folks! Just wanted to make a quick point about those of you that may be fearful of selling. This isn't a sales job where you are trying to convince someone to purchase something, or join your team. Truly, it's about sharing with people you meet, as well as friends and family. People WILL notice a difference in your skin and they WILL ask you about it. As marketing and communications consultant Allison Bliss puts it, "All the tips and tricks in the world don't work unless a business has a good service or product for which there is a market." Well that about sums it up!! We are all aging every day, and face it, who doesn't want to look younger? These products have proven clinical results, and proven before and after pictures. The products have a 60 day empty bottle guarantee, how's that for a return policy! The anti-age market is currently 2.5 billion dollars, and is expected to grow to $5 billion within they next 3-5 years. I have been fearful in the past of rejection from people, but now I changed my mindset to think of what they could be missing out on if I don't share this opportunity with them. It's not right for everybody, true, but I'll never know unless I ask! Did you know that some consultants with the company have compressed a 40 year career into 3-5 years? There are consultants making 6 figure MONTHLY income!! It's not a scam people. It's dedication and the ability to be coachable. Some ladies are retiring their husbands 30 years early, no joke! These husbands have come on board with Rodan + Fields because they see the power of leveraging the doctors name in their business. Think about your 5 year plan. Do you still want to be making $60k working for someone else who tells you what your paycheck is, tells you when you can and can't vacation or dictates how much time you spend with your family? If the answer is yes, then good for you, keep doing what you're doing. For most of us, we want time freedom and financial freedom and this business can put you on that path to achieve your dreams, simply by sharing this wonderful opportunity with people.

FAQ's
- Are there differences between Proactiv Solutions and Unblemish? Yes. While both products are meant to treat acne and blemishes, Unblemish is a new formula with updated technology that gives people a second option if Proactiv is too harsh and drying for their skin type. If Proactiv is working for you, by all means, keep using it!
- Do I have to have parties in my home if I join as a consultant? No! This is not a party based business, but rather of business of sharing. Tell your family and friends what you’re doing and ask for referrals. Share the gift of Rodan and Fields with people you come across in your daily life. You never know who is wanting to change their skin! The only party you will definitely want to have is your “Big Business Launch”. The BBL should happen shortly after signing up, to let all your friends and family know what you’re doing. P.S. Many consultants earn their initial investment back just by having a successful big business launch!!
- Do I have to stock products if I join as a consultant? No! You do not have to inventory products. This is a web-based business where items are ordered and shipped directly to customers.
- How does PC Perks work? When you join PC Perks, you receive 10% off all Rodan + Fields products, free shipping, and exclusive promotions. To get all of these benefits, you must agree to purchase at least $80 worth of products every two months at your lower PC Perks prices as PC Perks is a subscription order program.
- Are there men in the business? Yes! Not only are there male consultants, but male users. Men everywhere are seeing the amazing potential that Rodan and Fields have to offer. I have personally seen men joining alone, and/or with their wives as business partners. I have also seen men join their wives after realizing how much earning potential was involved and understanding that there was a possibility to reach their goals faster if both people were involved.
- Are the products tested on animals? NO! Rodan + Fields is on the PETA “don’t test” list and has the cruelty free bunny logo attached to their name. http://www.peta.org/living/beauty-and-personal-care/companies/111.aspx?SearchUrl=%2Fliving%2Fbeauty-and-personal-care%2Fcompanies%2Fsearch.aspx%3FTesting%3D0%26Range%3D6%26PageIndex%3D6
- Will I have support from my team if I join as a consultant? Absolutely. There are weekly calls and meetings for support, encouragement, learning, and development, among many other topics. We have fun at our meetings and recognize success all the time. There are presentations provided by top leaders that you can attend and/or bring guests to as a way of promoting your business. There is also a large convention once a year that is put on by the doctors.
- Do the products
really work? There are clinical studies that show the percentages of people
with successful results. For example, here is a sample of a clinical study on
the Reverse Regimen. After 8 weeks, participants experienced the following
results:
· 98% experienced an improvement in brightness· 98% experienced an improvement in smoothness and texture· 90% experienced a reduction in age spots and more even skin tone· 30% experienced a reduction in fine lines

New Rodan and Fields Business Kit buy in options
Here are our new business kits available for purchase to get started in your business. The $695 kit offers you the regimens that you need to show everyone what you are doing. You will also get a regimen of your choice for personal use, as well as a few other items to get started. For serious business owners, the $995 is the way to go. Trust me, I bought in at $695 and I regret it! This is the only time you will get these products at such a steep discount (45% off!!) and if you purchase the $695, you will end up purchasing everything in the $995 eventually anyway but for more money. For most people, an extra $300 won't break the bank so it is my advice to reap the savings by purchasing everything in bulk in the $995 kit at the beginning. Not many billion dollar companies offer you a piece of the pie for under $1,000! This company is growing, growing, growing!! Just remember, you can only be first once and this is still very much a ground floor opportunity. If you would like to get started email me at
amazing.skincare.today@gmail.com
