Why I Joined As A Beautycounter Marketing consultant aka Model Advocate
This spring marks 4 years since I dedicated to switching over to wash 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 mentioned “no thanks” 20 instances earlier than I mentioned sure. I knew it was a fantastic firm, and I had little doubt I would really like the merchandise. I cherished Beautycounter’s mission, however I didn’t need one other “factor” to need to do.
What I didn’t know but was that the “factor I’ve to do” has turned out to be one in all my favourite components of KERF to work on!
Being an Advocate with Beautycounter isn’t as huge of a deal because it might sound. You might be merely an affiliate of the corporate, serving to to make suggestions to purchasers, educate on elements and clear magnificence, and offering fundamental customer support (that’s among the finest perks of purchasing by means of a advisor!)

There aren’t any month-to-month spending necessities or events it’s a must to host in your front room. You don’t need to develop a crew to earn money. 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’ll be able to have a wholly on-line enterprise (like I do) or when you hate social media you’ll be able to 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!
