Why I became a Green Compass Advocate + My Experience So Far!
I'm sharing everything you need to know about the advocate opportunity and why I joined!
I want to share my experience about what it's like being a Green Compass Advocate so far! After months of brainstorming a way I could bring in additional income in a space I'm passionate about, a friend mentioned Green Compass. I was on an extended maternity leave break from my full-time job, and I thought, if not now, when? I spoke with my leader, did my research, joined, studied our products and company, and launched my own business. I am so grateful for this opportunity to not only share clean products that I believe in, but ones that are grown organically, and the ability to be part of a company who is changing the Hemp + CBD industry as a whole!
There is no better time than now to join this company & be part of this incredible movement. Green Compass is the leader in Organic Hemp Wellness. We have a wide range of products including collagen, a skincare line, calm & sleep support, digestive support, pain & inflammation relief and so much more! With the lack of education surrounding Hemp + CBD in an extremely unregulated market, it's crucial to provide education and bring awareness to products we consume and/or apply every day. No other brand compares to the farm to family standards we have in place. Our products are made from USDA Certified Organic Hemp (farmed and bottled in North Carolina), vertically integrated, offer full traceability including third party testing, and we use a clean USDA Certified Organic Extraction method. What started as excitement about these products has turned into a passion, simply because companies like this are extremely rare - companies that actually care about quality and consumer safety. Our founders recently met with Congress to push for regulation within this industry. Our country is facing hurdles of health issues, and Green Compass is providing #hopeinhemp.
I've put together a Q&A based on my own initial questions in hopes it provides further insight into the business!
Q:
What's your favorite part about the business?
Playing a role in actively creating the Hemp Wellness industry, changing the CBD industry, breaking stigmas, and sharing an organic and effective solution that helps so many people. I also get to bring in income while sharing products I'm passionate about - such a blessing!
How many of us know someone who deals with anxiety, poor sleep quality, overstimulation, digestive issues, an immune system that's lacking, skin issues, pain and inflammation? Or even pets who deal with anxiety, muscle or joint pain?
You can work your business however you'd like!
Some people join for the discount, some to pay off their debt, some for the community, some do it part-time, some do it full-time, some do it to help support their child's college fund, daycare, extracurricular activities, etc. You get out what you put in, and anyone can do it!
Q:
Do advocates have to keep inventory or buy a certain amount of products?
Green Compass advocates do not keep inventory and are not required to buy a certain amount of products. When you join, you are given a personal website that your customers can order from. Corporate handles the processing and shipping of all orders.
Products that I have, I have purchased because I wanted to. I also keep samples as a business tool, but they are not required.
Q:
Do you have to meet monthly minimums?
There are no monthly minimums when you sign up to be a Green Compass advocate.
Website Fee
You will pay $9.99 per month to keep your personal website up and running, but that's it! This is very standard!
Q:
Are there any sales requirements?
Green Compass doesn't require monthly sales requirements, but in order to earn commission on personal and team sales, you will need to generate $150/monthly from your personal orders and/or your customers’ orders. This is very doable and easily met in my opinion since your personal orders count! Your leader and team will help you every step of the way!
Q:
What does the role of being an advocate entail?
Shopping with an advocate gives the customer a customized shopping experience. The Hemp + CBD industry is highly unregulated and saturated with toxic low quality products. We educate them, give personalized product recommendations, act as the middle man with customer service issues, keep them updated on orders & sales, provide samples, etc.
Quick fact:
CBD is "set to get much bigger and more diverse." CBD sales in the U.S. hit $4.6 billion in 2020. It's projected to reach more than $20 billion in the next few years.
Q:
Do you have to have a large social media presence to be successful?
No, absolutely not. There are plenty of successful advocates who don’t or barely use social media at all. It’s so much more than having a certain amount of followers. Whether you have 100 followers or 100K followers, you’ll find success through genuine sharing and conversations.
Q:
How can I learn the business? Is there training?
Green Compass provides amazing training for all new & active advocates. We have access to a wide range of training materials including: multiple weekly training calls + recordings, advocate emails, Facebook groups, 1:1 training, social media images to use, shareable information, videos, specific product training and more! You can access the training tools on your own time & fit them into your schedule however you'd like. Your leader will also be there for you every step of the way to help you get the most out of your business.
Mentorship:
I would love to have you on my personal team! Email me at rivisrecs@gmail.com or DM me @rivisrecs and we can chat!
Q:
Do you have to build a team?
No, but I choose to because it's fun and I'm passionate about it! Building a team is where you can tap into the potential financial growth & opportunity your business can provide.
Q:
Can you make money right away?
Yes - as soon as you become a Green Compass advocate you have the ability to earn a paycheck!
Note: Earnings depend on many factors including time commitments to selling/leading & each advocate's unique circumstances. For more info about earnings, please view the Income Disclosure Statement on the Green Compass website.
Q:
Do Green Compass advocates get product discounts?
Yep! All active advocates get a 20% discount! We also have the ability to earn free products, incentives, & new products before they launch.
Q:
How do I join?
Iwould love to have you on my own personal team! On the Green Compass website there is an option to Join & that will take you through enrollment.
You have the option to purchase an enrollment kit. I understand the hesitation to spend money on an enrollment kit, but it was so worth it for me! I made my initial investment back in a little over 24 hours. If you have the means, I highly recommend an enrollment kit.
It currently costs $49.95 to start a Green Compass business, so for that you could launch your business right away!
