Our Super Star Spotlight of the month is Julie Brant. With over $46,000 and 14 recruits as of mid-January, here she shares with us some of her business insight and words of advice!
1) When did you start selling Pure Romance?
I began selling Pure Romance 2 years ago this March
2) What is your WHY?
My why for being a Pure Romance consultant is to support my family financially, not have a “boss”, and to be able to stay home with my 3-year-old.
3) What level are you currently?
I am currently a senior director.
4) What is your favorite item to demo and why?
My favorite item to demo is Just Like Me because I get to talk with women about vaginal health and help them to gain knowledge about themselves and put them on the path of taking control of their own bodies.
5) What is the #1 selling item at your parties?
My #1 seller is a tie between Coochy/Body Dew and toy cleaner! Cross sell, cross sell, cross sell!
6) Do you do anything extra special to spoil your hostesses?
Yes! I give them and their girlfriends an AMAZING time together and make them feel like they are the most important person in the world to me that day. Oh, do you mean actual gift wise…lol! Lots of free product…I help them beforehand by getting them excited so they have a great party!
7) What do you contribute to your success as a Pure Romance consultant?
There are a few things that I contribute to my success so far as a Pure Romance consultant. First of all, I just left a job of 11 years where I was not rewarded for my efforts and not treated well. I realized that Pure Romance was my opportunity to take control of my own career. I WANT to build this business so I never again have to feel helpless in my life situation.
Additionally, I have a heart for teaching women to love their bodies and take control of them as well as their finances. I lost my mother about 5 years ago to ovarian cancer and believe if she wouldn’t have been afraid to talk about what was going on with her body, things may have been different. Also, I hit a low spot in my life when I was pregnant with my 12 year old. I had just found out I was pregnant and that my husband was dying from cancer (literally, they gave him 6 weeks.) We went through experimental treatments and he was spared, however our intimate relationship became a friendship. I remember feeling so helpless back then as to how to save my marriage due to lack of intimacy and complete loss of finances. Pure Romance empowers me to help women in both of these instances.
To top it all off, I’ve recently had a complete hysterectomy and have been able to track major changes in my own sexual health and am AMAZED by how much the body can change. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I can help women discover and rediscover themselves. Wow!!! This is personal and A LOT!!! However, it is my story and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Pure Romance….and that is what has gotten me this far, so far….and I’m not done on this journey, this is just my beginning!
8) What is your favorite quote?
I have a couple…how can you make such a verbose person just choose one? This is my interview so I’m sharing both!
“The first hundred years are the hardest.” My grandfather…this helps me to persevere whatever my challenges.
And…
“I’m a super hero saving vaginas one orgasm at a time.” I heard this somewhere in the Pure Romance circle and LOVE it and have stolen it as my own.
9) Give some words of advice for new consultants coming into the company that you think would help them make their business a successful one.
Ladies! Remember that “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” If you want an empire, you need to start with a good foundation. There are lots of pitfalls and disappointments when you first begin, I think the most difficult is learning to hear the word “no” and becoming okay with it. However, there are A LOT of successful women in this business and they all started in the same place that you did. Stick with the program, learn from the best, follow the suggestions, and keep your eye on the prize (whatever you have determined the prize to be.)
Most new businesses take a loss their first 3 years and business owners aren’t usually able to even pay themselves for the first 6 months to a year. However, if they keep their focus on what the ultimate goal is…their small sacrifice (even though it seems big AT THE TIME) can pay off BIG TIME and make it all worth it - times a million! Pure Romance is wonderful because it can pay off much faster than other business building opportunities.
I realize that when you are in those beginning stages it seems at times that it’s not worth it. Write down your “why” and all your other goals and put them somewhere you can see them everyday. This way all the frustrations, disappointments, and financial hurts in the beginning seem purposeful. This is true of anything worth having such as labor pains, awkward first dates, job interviews, and on and on. The future years and years of financial freedom, time to spend with friends and family, and sexual empowerment are so much more than this small amount of time you need to take now to build your own empire.
10) Anything else you’d like to share with us?
Hmmm……let’s see. I gave you my life story, my philosophies, and my resume. I think I’ve covered it – lol! I am a Pure Romance superhero! I save people from bad sex and razor burn!
