Tales from the Crypt....NOT ME!

I don't know about you, but I've about had it with the tricks skincare companies play. Dusting products with active ingredients instead of using the clinically proven amount of things like retinol and peptides to get real results. Placing glossy, airbrushed ads accompanied by small print that says "dramatization." On this All Hallows' Eve, if the graveyard that's freaking you out most is the product graveyard in your bathroom that's filled with empty promises and wasted money, then I've got some treats for you.

***

Do Your Hands Look Like Something from Tales of the Crypt?

We spend 95% of our beauty budget on our face! No wonder people's hands often look so much older than their faces. Check out Sarah Jessica Parker, 46, to the right. What a fright!

But never fear! Our new ANTI-AGE Hand Treatment Regimen visibly brightens and evens skin tone, restores moisture to improve elasticity and resiliency, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and most importantly, won’t give away your age! The October issue of More calls it one of the best beauty products, and Redbook named it the "Handy Solution" for hands starting to look like a grandmother's.



For all you golfers or tennis players, the take-with-you-anywhere SPF stick in this regimen allows for easy application without exposing your palms to any product. So you can no longer blame your serve or shot on the loose grip from applying your sunscreen!

And if you're a nail salon junkie, protect your hands from the intense UV light dryer by applying this SPF before your polish is applied.

***

Are Your Lips Less Than Luscious?

When it comes to lips, time and the environment take their toll in a profound way. Nature plays a trick on us by transforming our smooth, naturally full, defined lips into a thinner, flatter, less rosy and more lined pucker. Reclaim or maintain the lips of your youth with new ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum. Each peptide and antioxidant-rich mono-dose capsule helps lips retain natural moisturizing factors, smooths lip texture and reduces the appearance of lip wrinkles. For best results, use with the AMP MD roller.

Check out the October issue of Harper's Bazaar and the before and after pics; look what happened just 10 minutes after application!


***

Do Thoughts of Crow's Feet, Crater-Like Pores and Zombie-Like Eye Bags Scare You to Death?

Don't fret, we've got the tricks to treat even the most frightening signs of aging. Our AMP MD System and ANTI-AGE Eye Cream will scare the bejeezus out of Father Time. The Today show and Allure magazine call them a "must-have for anti-aging."


With summer behind us, are you as pasty as Casper?

Then you'll love my FREE gift with purchase for any new Preferred Customer (you also get 10% and free shipping): ESSENTIALS Foaming Sunless Tan (guaranteed not to leave you with pumpkin-colored streaks) or ENHANCEMENTS Mineral Peptides in Bronze. Either of these will give you a sun-kissed glow all winter long.

But this offer will go away at midnight on Halloween, so contact me right away!

Concerned You Might Be Mistaken for Father Time at This Year's Halloween Bash?

If you are a Nashville local, get to this event & any future questions about your identity will be more along the lines of being mistaken for this year's Spring Chicken!

Do the Latest Economic Indicators Have You Trembling with Fear?

I can do amazing things for your skin, but wait till you see what I can do for your bottom line. If you want to scare the sillies out of the recession (or know someone who does), and you're the self-motivated, people-loving type (or know someone who is), I can help you or them launch a virtual franchise with the Doctors who created Proactiv and carve out a piece of the $2.5 billion U.S. anti-aging skincare market (it's sweeter than the best Halloween-night loot, trust me).

To learn more about our Doctors and why they pulled these products out of retail to enter the smartest business channel on the planet, click here. And then get in touch to start a conversation. The money, free Lexus and other perks are fabulous, but for me, the greatest treat of this gig is the ability to help others. The next one could be you or someone you care about.

Wishing you a Happy Halloween full of Sweet Surprises!

Daily digest for October 29, 2011


New post on Derm RF


Common Questions

by Mary Radford, RN
When can I expect to see results from ANTI-AGE Hand Treatment Regimen?

You will notice an immediate hydration and brightening effect.  Over time, you will also see improvement in skin texture, evenness of skin tone, and elasticity.

Can I use ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30 elsewhere on my body?

Yes, you may apply ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30 on the arms, legs and feet as needed to minimize the appearance of age spots and to help prevent future discolorations from forming. The peptides will help to support resiliency to smooth and firm the appearance of crepey skin, while protecting skin with a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen.

My ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30 is turning brown.  Can I still use the stick?

Yes.  While the active ingredient, ascorbic acid, may turn colors, ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30 is still effective.  As specified on the product package, for best results, store the product in a cool, dry place.

What do you know...

About Peptides ~

I know I love them!!!

Collagen and elastin, our skin’s structural proteins, are the foundation of the contours, fullness and smoothness that give our skin a healthy, youthful appearance. Our skin creates these proteins in abundance when we’re young, but beginning in our mid-twenties, production of these proteins decreases dramatically.

Your best bet to maintain healthy-looking skin is to counteract this production decrease by applying skincare with peptides which will stimulate natural production of collagen and elastin. When applied regularly to the face or hands, topical products containing peptides can help your skin look and feel fuller, stronger and smoother.

Find palmitoyl Oligopeptide to help to visibly restore volume, support resiliency and smooth and firm the appearance of crepey skin in Rodan + Fields® ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30.

You will find peptides in many of our products!  Ask me where to find them!

MY STORY

I'm a former sales manager/trainer with the Clinique brand in NY and a wife and mom who jumped at the opportunity to the ride the coat-tails of the dermatologist who created ProActiv and they set out to change the face of skincare and lives with their signature line of products, Rodan + Fields Dermatology.

My goals were to find a new, creative option in which I could still mold my schedule around my kids, and still have time to volunteer at school and in my community. I have been profoundly blessed to find more than I was looking for with this business model and compensation plan!

Now, what about YOUR STORY? Aren't you tired of working for someone else and allowing them to control your destiny? Where does the boss send you on vacation? Home. Where do you go from there?

Can't you just picture yourself having massage under a cool cabana overlooking the ocean....or luxuriating in an infinity pool.....creating lasting memories with your partner and your children?

Do you want to be in control of your own life or are you going to leave that in the hands of virtual strangers? You ready to make a change for the better?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you owe it to yourself to look deeper into your soul and tell yourself "Yes, I want all that and more". Well, I'm here to help you achieve those dreams and to make a living.....living. Let's make this happen together...don't let another day go by without at least checking this out!

Formulas for Market Expansion Success the R + F Way

Rodan + Fields

Formulas for
Market Expansion Success the Rodan + Fields Way

Guidelines for Creating the Right Environment:

  • Set up a self-appointed steering committee.
  • Create a virtual community that shares best practices.
  • Make sure there is a balanced and facilitated conversation taking place.
  • Glean and share insights and best practices on a consistent basis.
  • Create multiple events and a timeline that builds over several months and includes business activities, training and celebrations.

Cycle of Success:
Each of these steps builds on itself in a continuous cycle.

  • Discovering the why
  • Goal setting – Designing your road map
  • Prospecting – Building your list
  • Inviting – Mastering the art of invitation
  • Power presenting
  • Getting started – Enrolling effectively
  • BBL – Big business launching
  • Training and learning – How to train

We at Rodan + Fields attracted a lot of attention by winning the DSA Excellence in Salesforce Development Award—twice, back-to-back. But please don’t mistake that statement for bragging. As I’ve traveled and met industry peers, I’ve been repeatedly asked what we did, how, and why it’s different. So, here it is. Our story that may inspire you to pursue new field development strategies in your own company.

In 2010, we knew that the Atlanta market had great potential. We had many first-time direct sellers in the market and they were looking for leadership and direction. We tried quick strike company events and, although inspiring, they did not give these fledgling consultants the skill sets they needed. So we looked at how to empower consultants in the market to create a groundswell initiative with just enough support from us.

Our conclusion was to create a steering committee of self-appointed, energetic, committed leaders and bring them together to be at the forefront of this change. These leaders have proven to be the key to this entire process. We sent out the word that we were looking for consultants to lead this effort, and several individuals stepped up. As in any group, four or five key people emerged as the front-runners, the ones who kept everything moving forward.

With the steering committee in place, it was time for us to develop the support they needed. Drawing on the experience of seasoned leaders and my background of 15 years in organizational behavior and global strategy, we developed three days of foundational training. These would be Step 1 for equipping our leaders.

Training

Our three days were conducted in modules, each day focusing on a component of the business in which we could engage with members, leaders, guests and more. The attendees also spoke with us. These modules were not presentations so much as they were interactive sessions. Each one was also spaced about a month apart, so as not to overwhelm consultants and to give them time to practice what they had learned.

The three modules consisted of the following:

  1. Steps to Success – During this module, we asked members to talk about their why, their motivation for getting in this business. Specifics were encouraged, but were not nebulous “wanted to see what would happen” kind of motivators. We also got very specific about goal-setting, asking attendees to set realistic, achievable, measurable and personal goals.
  2. Business Boot Camp – For this session, attendees learned how to focus on critical practices, rather than desired outcomes, in their day-to-day goal setting and to follow up on the results and fully capitalize on the Rodan + Fields compensation plan. In addition, attendees learned from each other how to improve their inviting skills, increase new consultant activity and duplicate the new consultant business launch program.
  3. Business Presentation – For the third and final module, we shared what key components make up successful business presentations. This module included questions on clarity of the message and how to establish credibility when presenting. The leaders who attended learned how to host and orchestrate team meetings that would bring standing-room only crowds. We had attendees practice their presentations, and we emphasized optimism and adaptability. We stressed that, of course, they were going to hear “no” in this business. Learning to handle that and to not take it personally is what makes the difference between high achievers and those who eventually quit.

So far, you may be thinking that this information is not all that groundbreaking. But remember that we had our volunteer steering committee involved lock-step with us for these modules, eventually getting to the point that they could deliver the training without corporate leaders, if desired. Their enthusiasm and buy-in made all the difference for the ongoing success of the program.

Salesforce Development Gone Wild … In a Good Way

What happened after the training is essential. We turned the field leaders and our steering committee loose.

The critical question was how could we maintain the conversation and propel the field to continue engaging and building their businesses. The answer was online resources. We encouraged our Atlanta leaders to set up self-contained virtual communities, through private groups on social networking sites like Facebook, Google, Yahoo and others. In these Internet-based sites, consultants could post their questions, share their successes, offer tips to each other, provide corporate or product information, self-recognize their achievements and maintain the feelings of commitment and enthusiasm that they established during the training period. This interaction created what we have called positive tension between members. It really imparted the lesson, “Hey, if she could reach this goal just by mentioning Rodan + Fields to her friends, I can do this too!”

While I jokingly say this was a period of the salesforce going wild, we were right there with them. We provided any resources they needed, we monitored progress consistently and we facilitated the online interactions. For every group, we would ensure that the discussions were balanced, respectful, fruitful and fair. At times, we would interject some guidance into conversations or provide more details to better explain issues that had been raised.

The beauty of these online communities is that they are both self-sustaining and unifying. There is a great deal of crowdsourcing when consultants provide content, including links to relevant external sites. In the private virtual communities, you can find links to our webinars, prepared scripts for business presentations, event templates and our corporate platform. The overall effect is one of building and reinforcing interconnectivity between multiple Rodan + Fields players. This is the future of networking.

Throughout this period in Atlanta, we helped the steering committee create multiple events and a timeline that included business activities, training and celebrations. Some of these celebrations were true, red-carpet-style extravaganzas with celebrity appearances of Rodan + Fields Chairman Amnon Rodan, President Lori Bush and myself. Consultants were even more enthusiastic after each event.

The Results

While our approach may have been a little unorthodox, we can’t dispute the results. In the Atlanta market’s three-month market expansion initiative, the following occurred:

  • The number of highest ranking executive consultants tripled.
  • Checks to field members almost doubled.
  • Sales in Georgia grew 300 percent.
  • A solid fleet of leaders was identified in the area.

We are still getting amazingly positive feedback from this market. Consider this statement from a Georgia consultant: “I appreciate so much the team building, goal setting and accountability you helped us put into practice. I love the abundant attitude our company has, and I am so proud to be partnering with you.”

Building on what we experienced in Atlanta, we have rolled out this initiative in other markets. We carefully select each new market based on leadership potential and key performance indicators, and we always start by calling for those committed leaders to be on the steering committee. We have locked arms with our key leaders and put the program in place in Dallas and Austin, Texas; Denver; and San Francisco. Similar results in these markets are proving that our program, officially called the Market Expansion Initiative, can be replicated. We expect to add four more markets in the coming months.

We are constantly evaluating our existing markets for “signals on the radar” based on key performance indicators. We cross-qualify those signals with local and regional leadership intelligence to gauge where our initiatives would have maximum impact. For example,

Montana is one of our top 10 sponsoring markets, and we believe this has everything to do with the quality of leaders there. An added benefit of our market expansion initiatives has been the ability to identify emerging leaders in specific locations.

Our Own Why

We think of Rodan + Fields as pioneers in our shared industry. As many of you know, we were behind the glass counter in high-end department stores as an Estee Lauder Company. Our founders chose to take this brand to the direct selling arena, with all the legacy, tradition, and quality associated with the product history in their hip pockets. This is how we became the first top-selling clinical skincare brand sold at top retail locations to deliberately move from behind the glass counters into direct selling.

We also tend to attract consultants who have never been in direct selling before, but are remarkably successful nonetheless. In addition, based on my years in business and watching competitors from within industries share their case studies, I know that we can help our industry as a whole by sharing our success. That is why we choose to share with you, our fellow direct selling leaders, the insights we gleaned from more than a year of trials and execution of strategies that have made a positive impact for our field and our organization as a whole.

I am certain that everyone can take the ingredients we have assembled and come up with their own formulas for success. On behalf of the entire team at Rodan + Fields, best of luck to all of us!
