I fought this for so long, my best friend has been preaching the benefits of selling this brand for YEARS, and while I use their products, selling them didn't seem to be a great fit for me at the time.
Then, my best friend Melissa from Create Your Ripple introduced me to Alaena from Grazed&Enthused and I started to see the other side of this beautiful business. I saw a natural way to integrate and share the products I was using with my clients without pushing them to be consultants and business owners themselves. She walked me through how to introduce this brand to clients without annoying the sh** out of everyone and losing track of my main purpose...HEALTHY, EMPOWERED MOM'S AND BIRTH.
In the past few months of starting this side business, I have seen the most success with those in the birth professional world with me. I am SO excited to be joined by Chiropractor and Local Birth Professional Dr. Stephanie Wigner of Circle of Life Chiropractic. If there’s one thing Steph and I have always been on the same side of…it is making sure our clients are being exposed to the most healthy options available. We are both constantly learning about what is out there, where toxins may be slipping in and what we can do help prevent long term issues with the families we work with.
We were both originally sold by the sunscreen. (The new mist has completely blown my mind). I was actually just stopped on my way out of school this week by a mom that was trying out the sample mist I gave her and said she literally cannot believe how light the mist is and it works so well.
So, how do you implement this naturally into your business as birth professionals? Joining our team is a great place to start. The team you join MATTERS, we have a team of hundreds of the top bloggers, Medical professionals including midwives, doctors, chiropractors, dermatologists, etc. all working together to make sure we are sharing the most up to date information on skin care, sunscreen toxins, and just about all things involved in current federal regulation changes. Jumping into this team is like jumping in to a power house of women professionals all sharing social media posts, graphics, statistics and information empowering us all to make money together.
I include the ways I use their products into my social media, my newsletter and my everyday conversations. I also gift samples with their well known Never List (all the toxic chemicals they will never use and any other brand you are using shouldn’t be using either) as well as information on why I chose BeautyCounter.
The one thing I have learned about any of the affiliates I promote is that none of them are going to sell or make me any money if I am not using them, loving them and organically sharing information about them. This brand is no different, we did a house purge and got rid of everything that included any of the ingredients listed on their “Never” list, shared our progress on which brands totally shocked me that I had to purge (SO SAD TO SEE MRS. MEYERS GO!) As you do with birth, the way you doula and the way you love your clients…show your genuine care and love for this brand and it will pay you back in very generous ways!
As a doula, I find it’s about using the products, being genuine about which ones you use and which you don’t. The information available on what breaks through from your skin to baby, what toxins are affecting us now, what exists in your everyday products and what things to look for when choosing products for your baby. These are some of the things that made the biggest affect on me:
Biomonitoring studies, which measure specific chemicals found in blood, urine, or tissue, help us to understand our potential body burden of chemicals absorbed from personal care products.
Highlights of recent studies include:
