Why I Joined As A Beautycounter Guide aka Model Advocate
This spring marks 4 years since I dedicated to switching over to scrub magnificence and skincare and have become a Beautycounter marketing consultant (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 occasions earlier than I stated sure. I knew it was an ideal firm, and I had little question I would love the merchandise. I beloved Beautycounter’s mission, however I didn’t need one other “factor” to must do.
What I didn’t know but was that the “factor I’ve to do” has turned out to be considered one of my favourite elements of KERF to work on!

There aren’t any recruiting necessities and I’d not have joined if there have been.
The way in which you run your Beautycounter enterprise is 100% as much as you.
You resolve who, what, the place, when, how, and the way a lot! You may have a completely on-line enterprise (like I do) or in the event you hate social media you may have a small circle of purchasers in your actual life. Individuals 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!
