The Neustadt famliy: Romi with husband, John, and two children, Nate (4.5 yrs) and Bebe (16 months)
.
2. For Level V Executive Consultant Romi Neustadt, giving back and moving forward
go hand in hand. That's because she believes strongly in sharing her success
with others and has made that an important part of her business plan. The more
her Rodan + Fields® business grows, the more she can give to charitable
causes, and that is a formula that is proving to be enormously satisfying to Romi
and her team.
Given that Romi has built a sizable team in less than a year, you would think she
is a direct selling veteran. But Romi's background is in law and public relations.
"I knew nothing about network marketing," she says. Working as a public
relations consultant from her home in Bozeman, Montana, Romi was intrigued
when one of her clients mentioned Rodan + Fields. "She worked the topic of skin
into our conversation one day on the phone, and it came to me at a time when I
was looking for something else," says Romi.
A former lawyer who worked as a business litigator in Dallas, Romi spent three days doing serious due
diligence. "I put on my lawyer hat and I looked at this thing from a business standpoint, the product
standpoint and I looked at the industry," says Romi. She also asked her husband, an entrepreneur
himself who manufactures dietary supplements, to take a look at the opportunity. "At the end of three
days we both came to the conclusion that this was it and I needed to do it."
Set for Success with a Professional Attitude
Romi credits her success to recognizing early on that this is a system. "You learn the system,
you teach others to do it and that's how we're going to duplicate," she explains. Romi also
treated her Rodan + Fields business like a business - "I talked to everybody who had skin,"
she says. "It's not a hobby ... I am driven to create my own seven figure business." And this
means, just as she would if she were working for someone else, she shows up when she is
supposed to, she excels at her tasks, she strives to get promotions and raises, and "to really
knock it out of the park."
Charitable Giving Begins with Preferred Customers
3. Romi is indeed knocking it out of the park. She now has an organization of more than 700
people around the country and has been named the top producer four times. And even though
she is committed to becoming as successful as possible, she is just as committed to giving
back. "For me, giving back has always been a part of my life," she explains. "My parents
taught me the importance of donating time and money to charity ... every month I donate $10
for every Preferred Customer to a national charity."
So far, Romi and her team have been able to help the American Red Cross Haitian Relief Fund;
WomenHeart: the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease; National Women's History
Month; the National Breast Coalition (in honor of Romi's mother, a breast cancer survivor);
and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of Rodan + Fields Vice President of Sales,
Chris Diaz.
Romi is thrilled that her team is also giving back, and together they have created innovative
ways to help others. For example, at a "New Year, New You" event, Romi and Consultant
Bridget Cavanaugh paid the beauty forward by asking all guests to bring beautiful clothes they
no longer wanted so they could be donated to the local women's shelter.
Romi firmly believes that people are only as successful as the people who train them and the
people who work with them. And she is indebted to both her upline and her downline for their
support and efforts. And even though she loves the income and the special rewards her Rodan
+ Fields business gives her, for Romi this opportunity is about much more than money.
"Because I decided to take a chance and throw myself into this 100 percent, there are
hundreds of people around the country who have the opportunity to dramatically change and
improve their futures. What an absolute gift that is."
