The 5 Benefits of Being a Rodan + Fields Consultant

by Leave a Comment

So, you have heard about Rodan + Fields but you are still on the fence. Does that sound like you? Perhaps your friend is involved and you have been watching from the sidelines but you are still moving with concern. Don’t worry. You are like the many great R+F consultants who were exactly in the same place a few months or years ago.

If you are about ready to pull the trigger but still slightly hesitant, I want to offer up a few ideas that just might make you execute on your interest. Here are 5 benefits of being a Rodan + Fields consultant.

1. Complete Autonomy and Freedom
You have the absolute freedom to do as you choose. You can start and end your day when you desire. There is no one monitoring how many hours your butt is in a seat. You dictate the pace and you dictate your income.

2. The Income is Dictated By You
Your success financially is completely dependent on the amount of work you choose to put in day in and day out. If you are just looking to supplement the family income then you can achieve it. If you are wanting to build the next R+F empire, then you can do that as well. It all depends on the financial goals you set for yourself and how much you are willing to work to achieve it.

3. The Products Are Amazing
I can go on and on about the quality of products. You wouldn’t be reading this post if you thought any different. When you sign up for Rodan + Fields, you are deciding to be part of a global brand – one that is creating life changing products.

4. You Choose Your Team Members
If are doing the corporate thing right now, you don’t get to choose the team members you work with unless you are in a position of authority or management. As an R+F consultant, you get to pick and choose who you want to align yourself with and that is completely empowering. The team you have is completely yours because you built it.

5. The Rewards and Incentives Are Fantastic
If you love fancy toys or you love to travel then you’ll love being a consultant. Rodan + Fields treats its people well – very well. If you work hard enough, you’ll soon find yourself enjoying some new headphones, a fancy bag, possibly even a Lexus or maybe even some elaborate trip.

Let’s face it! Working for the number one anti-aging skin care company in the world is quite an honor. If you are ready to join this amazing company, then contact us to learn more.

How to Leave a Voicemail for a Service Provider

by Leave a Comment

I love a good contact form. You submit first and last name along with your email and someone reaches out to you usually that same business day. It’s easy. It’s convenient. And, it works.

However, every now and then you may find yourself surfing a web page, you are ready to do business, yet there is no contact form – just the dreaded phone number and we all know what happens then. You are forced to leave a voicemail. We all hope for the warm contact on the other end but that rarely happens and then you find yourself in a panic on exactly what to say and how to say it. If this describes you, then we want to offer up a blueprint for success.

Here’s how you should leave that voicemail.

“Hi, this is Jane Doe at XYZ Company. I was on your site today and am really impressed at what you guys are doing there. I have been following you for quite some time and look forward to connecting. The reason I am calling is in regards to the service offering you are showcasing on your web site. I would love if someone from your firm can give me a call back today. Again, this is John Doe with XYZ Company. You can reach me at 555-555-5555 any time between the hours of 1-6pm eastern time today and 8am-11am tomorrow morning. Again, my number is 555-555-5555. Thank you so much and I look forward to chatting with you soon.”

So, let’s breakdown the above voicemail. This is the thought process behind it:

Introduction With Your Name and Organization
You want to use the very few seconds to introduce yourself. This can be something very simple.

“Hi, this is Jane Doe at XYZ Company.”

Say Something Thoughtful and Positive
Everything you do is about building and maintaining relationships. A voicemail is just another medium to make this happen so take advantage of the opportunity to state something positive.

“I was on your site today and am really impressed at what you guys are doing there. I have been following you for quite some time and look forward to connecting.”

State Your Objective
Next, you want to quickly get into the objective of your voicemail.

“The reason I am calling is in regards to the service offering you are showcasing on your web site.”

Provide a Call to Action with a Timeline
In this next to final stage, you want to tell them what you want and when you want it. Are they supposed to call you back, email you, or something else? Make sure you clearly explain what you want.

“I would love if someone from your firm can give me a call back today.”

Repeat and Share Your Contact Details & Availability
Finally, you want to state your name again along with your contact information which will most likely be your phone number. Requesting a reach out via email is perfectly fine but you are increasing the odds of a typo or misunderstanding given the complexity of some emails today. You also want to make sure you state your times of availability and end with a gracious thank you.

“Again, this is Jane Doe with XYZ Company. You can reach me at 555-555-5555 any time between the hours of 1-6pm eastern time today and 8am-11am tomorrow morning. Again, my number is 555-555-5555. Thank you so much and I look forward to chatting with you soon.”

These types of voicemails will probably comprise about 70-80% of your voicemail activity so be sure to keep this template in your back pocket. And, please do let me know how it goes by sharing your success stories below.

A Rodan + Fields Starter Guide for New Consultants

by Leave a Comment

You met with your friend. You signed on to Rodan + Fields. You have been super pumped for the last 24 hours. But, you have no idea where to begin. No worries. We have prepared this basic starter guide to help guide you along the way.

Step 1: Get Your Virtual Set-up In Order
The great thing about a Rodan + Fields business is that you are now the CEO of you. So, whether you choose to work from your desktop, a laptop at a coffee shop, or your phone – the options are endless. It’s now up to you get things in order. Are you going to be completely digital? Are you going to mix and match digital tools with analog tools like a moleskine or journal? You should really address these items before you get started because the last thing you want is a cluttered mind. There has been a lot of research done about how environments impact results so make sure you are setting yourself up to succeed.

Step 2: Fine Tune Your Personal Platform
Perception is everything. Now is the time to clean up your social media profiles. You’ll want to make it radically clear that you are now engaged in this new business opportunity so make sure you update all of your personal social media channels including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This is the perfect time to start crafting the perfect bio which showcases your new role.

Step 3: Share With Your Inner Circle
Once you have your mobile or stationary office in order and you have cleaned up social media presence, it’s time to start sharing the great news with your friends. This is where you want to make the exciting announcement across all of your social media platforms. You are going to want to strike a balance between excitement and being a valued added resource with how you break the news.

Step 4: Go to Every Event You Can Attend
You are going to want to start networking and fast. This business is all about who you know and who they know. As a new consultant, you are never going to want to pass on an opportunity to meet new people and share your story. And, don’t be reactive. This is a great time to have a proactive mindset and start joining associations and clubs on your own like a local women’s club, book club, Kiwanis, a Rotary Club, or anything similar.

Step 5: Master Consistency
A large part of this business is like anything else in life. You need to show up daily. It’s all about making small deposits every single day via making new connections, sharing your love for the products online, practicing some content marketing, creating videos, launching a podcast, or simply sharing the Rodan + Fields story with friends.

Starting a new business is a ton of fun. But remember, it is also a business and great businesses require hard work, persistence, and a proactive spirit.

Why You Need a Personal Domain for Your Rodan + Fields Business

by 1 Comment

Earlier this year, I renewed my personal domain for the the 9th year in a row. It is hard to believe that I have owned my own URL for close to a decade now. My personal site has many different faces over the years. This ranges from an online resume, to a triathlon blog, to now a presentation training site. All of them have been uniquely different but they all have served one major purpose outside of business – they have helped me grow personally and professionally as a side benefit.

As you begin to unlock your potential with your Rodan + Fields business, building a personal web site is a fantastic place to start. Here are a few reasons why:

Your Piece of the Pie
Owning a personal URL whether you use it for your Rodan + Fields business, a resume, a journal, or something completely different enables you to have your own piece of real estate in the great world wide web. It’s your personal footprint. It’s your voice. It’s the place that is uniquely yours. Now, just think about the personal brand you can build for yourself within this space.

Clarity of Thought
For years my personal domain was a blog. I wrote there almost daily and the writing was absolutely therapeutic. I didn’t write for a specific audience. I didn’t write for my employer. I didn’t write for my kid or my parents. I wrote for me. Pure. Raw. Emotional. And, guess what? I was able to get all the clutter in my head out on digital paper so I can process, digest, and learn. I now do that journaling offline but having my own domain was the catalyst to start the habit. It’s almost as if I loved the accountability of an invisible audience.

Pure and Beautiful Ownership
My mom always encouraged me to get an education because she said no matter what happens in life no one can take my education away from me. The same holds true for your personal domain. It’s all you, and no one can take it away from you. Most people today build their businesses (Rodan + Fields folks included) around sites like Facebook which can disappear tomorrow, next week, or next year. But, a personal web site is all yours. That alone is enough of a reason to create one.

Will a personal domain make or break your Rodan + Fields business? Absolutely not. Will it add value to you personally and professionally. That’s a big fat “Yes.”

3 Ways to Ramp Up Your Rodan + Fields Business

by Leave a Comment

You fell in love with Rodan + Fields. You bought some products. You announced it to all of your friends. You even called your grandma and shared the good news.

But, what next?

This is a common issue that plagues most folks who are new to the business. They have the drive. They have the determination. They have the work ethic. They just don’t know where to direct their their time and energy. Well, you don’t need to worry any longer. We want to provide three items you can do right now to help propel your business forward.

1. Work on Your Personal Platform
You are now the CEO of you so this means you need to constantly be thinking about your personal brand. Are you on LinkedIn? Have you maximized your following on Facebook and Instagram? Do you own your own URL (i.e. janedoe.com). If not, now is the time to start focusing on your personal brand. I suggest you start with a personal domain and build from there. You can build sites fast and cheap these days via sites like Wix and WordPress so jump in and start. After all, that is always the hardest part.

2. Make Yourself Searchable
We live in a Google centric society so now is the time to make yourself Google friendly. For starters, it starts with your personal site but if that is not up and running then how can others find you? I would suggest starting simple and joining a site like DirectSalesAid.com. For as little as $5/month, you can be discovered as a Rodan + Fields consultant in your region.

3. Never Turn Down an Event
If you get invited to dinner with friends then show up. Invited to that party. Show up. Invited to that business breakfast. Show up. Invited to that baby shower? Show up. From here moving forward, do not miss out on any opportunity to meet other people and share your story. As Woody Allen says “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” No more excuses.

This obviously a short list of things that will spark your business but if you start and implement these items, you’ll be light years ahead of the rest of the pack.

My Rodan + Fields Story – A Guy’s Perspective

by 1 Comment

The year was 1991 and I was your typical American kid trying to make his way through the beginning of high school. I wanted all the typical things of a 14-year-old kid – Katie Miller (changed names to protect the innocent), popularity, and a guaranteed spot on the football team.

Looking back, my life was simple, yet it seemed so very complex at the time. I could have had all of those dreams, but I let one thing get in the way – my acne. I let it feed my insecurities. I let it control my mindset. And sadly, I let it make me feel like I wasn’t good enough to deserve happiness.

It’s amazing how a skin condition can really eat at one’s confidence so much to the point that I tried everything I could get my hands on to fix the problem. If the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding was around, I probably would have been spraying Windex on my face. I tried every product. I went to dermatologists. And, every product and home creation my mom created failed miserably until I saw an infomercial one night showcasing the wonders of Proactiv. My mom immediately ordered me a kit and the rest is history. It worked. And, it made me feel like a completely different person.

My acne free face amped up my confidence and I was an entirely new individual. I didn’t win the girl or score the winning touch down, but I became a new person. And for that I am forever grateful. So, when Brittney introduced me to Rodan + Fields in early 2017 I was immediately sold. Their first product changed my life. Therefore, I had no question that their new anti-aging products could change the life of others as Proactiv did for me many years earlier.

Fast forward to today, I’m so proud to be a part of such an amazing organization. Rodan + Fields has opened up new doors for us as a family. We have made new friends, forged new partnerships, and helped others do the same.

The question now is what can we do for you?
