Jeannine: So what you’re saying—it kind of sounds like what you’re saying is that you kind of specialize in working with people who might be more involved with—I know you said network marketing. I believe it’s also multi-level marketing. Is that the type of business that you are in? Because you mentioned that it’s a product, but also there’s a—you didn’t say monetary, but there is a way to help build your own business through it.
So I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s a multi-level marketing. So what you’re able to do is mix the two together, the coaching and being successful in that type of a business, in helping your—I believe it’s called a down line—helping your down line to be more successful in that business as well. Is that correct?
Debe: That’s absolutely correct. It’s a company called Nerium International, and it’s a new company. It’s an exciting company. It is a multi-level marketing company. It allows people to build as much of a part-time income, or even a full-time income if that’s what they want to do. You’re your own boss. You’re your own entrepreneur.
This is so funny, I was making a—I was talking with somebody the other day, and they asked me how long have I been an entrepreneur. And I started thinking that, “Wow! I’ve been in direct sales, multi-level marketing, since I was 18 years old.” And I started listing all the companies that I have been involved in over the years, because some of them come and go, and some of them have been around for 150 years, not that I have, but some of the companies have.
And I’ve got to tell you that the one I’m in right now is a keeper. I have been more involved in it, and more—I’m so much more excited about it than the others. And the other companies, they weren’t small little fly-by-night companies. I mean there are some—I don’t want to throw names out, but there are longstanding companies there.
And yeah, I made a little bit of money, but with Nerium right now, I’m very happy the way that things are going. And I think it’s because—I’m pretty sure it’s because I have been able to use the coaching education I’ve had, and experience, and bring it into this direct sales company as well. So direct sales isn’t as scary as everybody thinks it is.
And it should not be a cutthroat kind of atmosphere, and it’s definitely, at least my team knows that we don’t need to crack open the door and stick our foot in to keep the door open when you go talk to somebody. It’s not like that at all. So that’s part of the team-building spirit that I try to invoke and share with my team, is that we don’t need to do that.
And so anyways, bringing the coaching into the direct sales Nerium, it’s just fulfilling. It’s very fulfilling. And I think that when somebody is excited and fulfilled, and they bring it to somebody else and they share—we were talking a little bit earlier about how when you share your product and you want to do for the other person, right? Remember that just a few minutes ago?
Jeannine: Yes.
Debe: The other person reads it the correct way, and I subscribe to that 100 percent. It’s not about me. It’s not about me. It’s about the person I’m talking to. So I want to make sure that my message to whoever’s on the other side of the table, whether we’re coaching for confidence or we’re building a financial nest egg for them, whichever way they decide to talk to me about, it’s about them. And that’s how I try to come across.
Jeannine: That’s awesome. And I think that our listeners could probably gather that from you that you are more about them than about you, and that’s—I think that’s always a great position to be in. And our time is coming to a close, so I just wanted to thank you, Debbie, for all this great information that you’ve shared with myself and all of our listeners today. I think it was very awesome of you to take your time to come and talk with us.
Debe: Thank you.
Jeannine: And I wanted to say—you’re very welcome. I wanted to say if someone wants to connect with you or reach out to you, how would they go about doing that?
Debe: Well, let’s see. They can email me, and my email address is debe@debebloom.com, but I spell my name kind of weird. So Debe is D-E-B, as in boy, E, and Bloom like the flower. So it’s debe@debebloom.com. My phone number is area code (415) 713-9030. I’m on Facebook under Debe Bloom. Let’s go to my website, which is guess what? DebeBloom.com. And I’ll tell you what, anybody that goes to my website, I will be more than happy to offer them up a 20-minute strategy session. So that’s on there if they’d like to go to my website. And yeah, that’s it.
Jeannine: Wonderful. Just to reiterate—
Debe: Great.
Jeannine: What? Okay.
Debe: I was going to say, if you also go to the Google store or the iPhone store, you can just download my free app, and it is Debe Bloom, and it is D-E-B-E Bloom.
Jeannine: Awesome. So I just want to reiterate for our listeners that if they want to go ahead and reach out to you, that first, whenever they’re searching for you they’re searching for Debe, which is spelled D as in David, E, B as in boy, E. So it’s Debe Bloom, as in the flower, B-L-O-O-M. So if they want to connect with you, they can give you a call at (415) 713-9030.
