The work entails helping people that reach out to you for help, being very good at following up with them and truly helping them with their issues with their skin. It's being honest and true about your own results and sharing them with people and it is about reaching out and letting people know you are doing this, but def. not harassing anyone. People who do that, don't work the business correctly. This particular company has a full 60-day return policy, so I don't feel badly having my friends try the products. If they don't work, no problem, send them back. Just like any sales job, this is making a sale, except it's to your own network. Like I said, you have to be a normal human being and act like yourself. I don't do the scripts and I don't harass my friends, that doesn't work, clearly

Ok, so question for you here. Do you not realize/feel guilty about charging your friends $200 for skin creme that is probably worth $10 just so that all of the people up the pyramid get their cut?? I just don't know how you could do that to your friends?

No, absolutely not. One cream is never $200, first of all, it's about $140-$190 for a full 4-piece skincare regimen, which lasts 60-90 days/minimum. Completely in line with Clinique, Estee Lauder, etc. I buy it myself at consultant discount, which is 25% off, so I pay for it just like everyone else and I like it. I used to buy one eye cream for $100 from Estee Lauder at Nordstrom's, it was way more expensive and I think the ingredients in the products I use and sell are better and more effective. They doctors are same ones that created Proactiv, so they are not just some sales people selling random skincare. They actually formulated these products and tested them through clinical trials. Of course, there are people who try the products and don't love them or decide they want to try something else, so they return them for a full refund within 60 days even if they've used them up. You can't do that at any retail store if they have been opened. I see myself as a wholesaler really. Company gets a cut, I get a cut, and yes, the cost is passed down to consumer, just like in any other retail business. I'm also there and provide great customer service. I manage customer accounts, make sure they're getting right products that work for them, follow up with them, delay and move up their orders, etc. I do a lot of customer care work just like any good store would. If you buy something at the store, that's it. Your transaction is done. I'm always there for my customers and take pride in them being happy bc as you pointed out they are my friends and family.[/quote][/quote]

ok, so $190 top end and I said $200.  Big difference.

I just bought Clinique Redness moisturizer for $46.  Soothe is $160 I think.

But you see - company gets a cut, you get a cut, but you also are giving cuts all the way up the pyramid.  How do you not see that?  How do you not see that you are ripping off your friends and family?  You are not a skin care professional?![/quote]

First of all, one cream for $46, or 4 for $150. Soothe is $144 for 4 elements in the regimen. They are also sold individually and they are $36-$70 each. I'm not ripping anyone off. I've seen other regimens at the stores for much more. What do you say about Le Mer, where one cream is $500? Sold at stores, so it's ok?[/quote]

If you don't believe me, here's the link to Soothe. I just can't stand how you isolate one thing I type and don't include the other part, which is that it's a 4-piece regimen, not one cream! https://www.rodanandfields.com/Shop/Soothe (btw, I'm sure someone will yell at me bc it says $160, just so you know, we can give 10% and free shipping so that's why I said $144. People on here love semantics.
