Stay-at-Home Mom Watches Retirement Savings Skyrocket Again Thanks To Isagenix®
When Christina ran into an old sorority sister at an alumnae board meeting, she was stunned by her friend’s glowing skin and how fabulous she looked. Turns out that friend had lost 26 pounds* on something that Christina was surprisingly unfamiliar with. Hearing about Isagenix® for the first time, the Florida resident was open to losing a few pounds, but was more intrigued with the concept of Nutritional Cleansing.
The 56-year-old decided to see what Isagenix was all about. Soon, she had released 7 pounds and her energy felt as if she had been shot out of a cannon. Although she didn’t have any serious health issues and was not on any medications, Christina’s lifestyle was revolved around entertaining, and she had fallen into bad eating and drinking habits. Many days she felt like she was dragging and struggled to get through the day.
“I didn’t know how bad I was feeling until I started feeling good,” shares Christina. “I tried to eat healthy and organic, but I was also busy living life. I’m an upbeat person so no one knew I was a closet napper.”
Christina’s results prompted her to share Isagenix with her daughter. She knew she had stumbled onto something special when her daughter experienced similar results, including more energy.
“I had tried all kinds of different things throughout life, but had never seen these kinds of results,” says Christina.
Buzzing with faith in the product, Christina honed in on her business and used the business and communication skills she had acquired during her time in management for Disney and charity work. She started the business with family and friends, which was the easy part. Her challenge was finding the business builders.
“I set my intention and started targeting people who were not in my sphere of influence, specifically gym owners,” shares Christina. “I started cold calling, recruiting on the Internet through social media, and joined a healthy moms network. I used personal referrals and just talked to everybody.”
Her business quickly grew thanks to Christina’s tenacity and ability to “go in through the back door.” Initially worried that she wasn’t the ideal walking billboard having lost just 7 pounds, she quickly realized that people came for weight loss, but stayed for other reasons.
“It’s about mental clarity, luminescent skin, and the energy. Those are things that you can connect with anybody about,” explains Christina. “I feel like this is the right time for Isagenix. Conversations about cleansing are so much easier to have now than even a year ago. It’s on the forefront of everyone’s mind.”
Besides being an outlet for personal growth, the business has provided padding to the retirement savings that Christina and her husband had watched plummet during tough economic times.
“I felt like Isagenix could be an avenue to make retirement easier for us, and it definitely has,” says Christina.
After seeing the value of residual income through her 1-Star Golden Circle mom, Christina’s daughter is dabbling in the business between her full-time job in the sports field. She was able to make $5,000 last year enrolling just five people.**
Christina recently tapped into the newest market in Mexico and is aiming to advance in rank. She has the utmost faith that her trajectory with Isagenix will be an upward one.
“I came with high expectations of what I expected to do with Isagenix and this opportunity has proven itself time and again,” says Christina. “I had such a tremendous product experience and saw the success happening around me so it was easy to commit to it.”
