Why I Became a Senegence Independent Distributor and What I think?

I wanted to share my story about why I decided to join SeneGence as an Independent Distributor. I researched many forums and went on Facebook and YouTube to learn more about SeneGence and it's products. I got introduced to the company through a friend who was selling just LipSense at the time. I love the LipSense product and gloss! I never previously wore lipstick at all and I just started to wear it more and more because of my corporate work environment. The LipSense is long-lasting, no need for reapplication of color just some gloss. Other lipsticks leave marks and you have to reapply. Plus other lipsticks contain not-so-healthy ingredients.

I really wanted to be conscious of what I was putting on my body and SeneGence products do not contain any animal by-product and are not tested on animals. Their values spoke to mine which made me more intrigued with their products. So I decided to join as a member which gave me a discount to buying different products.

At the time I joined the company, they were going through some growing pains and were still negotiating contracts with suppliers. Products were limited but the excitement of being part of this new team surrounded by awesome women was just so much fun.

I am by no means a make-up expert and still can't even explain certain application techniques but I have learned so much about make-up and safe ingredients. If you love make-up then this might be a good company for you, you can buy discounted product for yourself and then also sell it.

The biggest cons I found as an Independent Distributor are maintaining inventory, not a lot of training for owning your own business, not a lot of structure for support, and I found that this sales technique puts me way outside of my comfort zone. Inventory can be expensive- but to be successful you need inventory to do demos, parties, vendor events, etc... If you already have a good customer base- pre-orders can help eliminate the burden of holding inventory.

I wish there was more formal support to help empower distributors on owning their own business. The company is growing so fast their are so many new distributors involved it is hard to receive new communications and people are also leaving the business so it can be hard to receive support or guidance. There are also a lot of restrictions on where you can sell and this limits the opportunities of your business potential.

Most importantly, I discovered I am not a sales person, especially not in this fashion. It took awhile to be comfortable with posting selfies of myself to help sell the product or coming up with other creative ways to sell. I dislike soliciting and that was another common form of sales. Your opportunity is what you make of it- you ultimately will get out, what you put into the business.

One distributor above me was making six figures, had already two paid vacations by the company, and many other perks. She started her journey with the company to have a more flexible work schedule for her family but the demand in which we are communicated to sell and continue to push for parties and demos takes more time away. She has sense left the company so that she can enjoy more time with her family.

This company wont be for everyone and I have decided it doesn't quite fit my style of what I want to pursue as a business. I will continue to sell my inventory and probably will continue to use the products for personal use.

If you are interested in products or questions about the business let me know.
