I have always been intrigued by the possibilities that working from home can bring, and I already loved working online as an affiliate marketer. When a friend told me she had partnered with a haircare company that focused on “social selling”, she got my attention immediately!
So I attended the Zoom presentation she invited me to. To be honest, by then I had already googled Monat and peeked at the prices (though I realized later those were the un-discounted retail prices), and my first thought was “oooh, no I don’t think so, that’s a bit too pricey for me.”
But I went to the Zoom meeting anyway, since I had already told my friend that I would.
And then I was so amazed.
The girls that shared in the presentation showed their own before and after pics of their hair, and WOW. These were truly some impressive results.
And they talked about the healthy naturally-based ingredients in Monat, versus the bad ingredients commonly found in most shampoos and haircare products. I would learn that far from just being naturally-based, Monat has a set of ingredients that make the haircare line VERY unique in the marketplace. There is a lot of science and research going into the formulation of these products.
And then they explained how Monat’s products are very concentrated, not watered down like other commercial products, and that a bottle of shampoo could last anywhere from 4 to 7 months or longer (it’s true, I found out).
So I did a bit of quick math in my head and came up with a figure of about $8 per month to get started on a good haircare regimen. And I thought, “you know what, YES. Yes, I would pay $8 a month to get better hair.”
After that presentation, I went into my bathroom and took a close look at my poor balding scalp and my broken, fried hair.
And I looked over at the lineup in my shower of cheap shampoos and conditioners I bought regularly from Dollar General (still love me some DG though I don’t go down the shampoo lane anymore, lol), and I felt so SAD. My poor hair. It had been begging for help for the longest time.
After using my new Monat shampoo and conditioner for 2 weeks, I got the biggest shock when I noticed a LOT of new, baby hairs growing in. At that moment, I realized how Monat had gone to work from the first day I used it, to help my SCALP become healthier.
I wanted to cry. I had given up on my hair, but now I knew I had some REALLY special. I was hooked.
A week later, I signed up to be a Market Partner, which is what Monat’s sales representatives are called.
Since then, the company added skincare and wellness products to their lines. I know it seems like made-up hype to say it, but I love it ALL, and I’m a bit obsessed with it, lol.
So I could go on and on, but to sum it up: I got new and better hair, a home business with a generous company that absolutely thrived during a pandemic – a company that is in fast momentum and quickly expanding globally, the absolute best training I have ever received, and a wonderful team to work with. I got so much more than I imagined, and while nothing in this world is perfect, this is pretty much close to it.
I personally run my business 100% online, though you can do your biz anyway you want. I’m shy and introverted, and I don’t consider myself a salesperson at all, but it doesn’t matter. I just share what I love, and that’s not hard at all 🙂
