<strong>RODAN</strong> + FIELDS ®<br />
<strong>BUSINESS</strong> <strong>EDITION</strong><br />
Spring 2013<br />
World-renowned dermatologists and creators of the acne treatment Proactiv ® Solution, Dr. Katie<br />
Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, are changing the face of skincare … again. The Rodan + Fields ®<br />
business model features products and programs that can change your life, your skin, and the lives<br />
and skin of those around you.<br />
When it comes to growing your Rodan + Fields business, building volume through team building<br />
is a critical component of success. This month we are honored to feature eight Consultants who<br />
built their team volume in the month of January 2013, and in doing so, became top performers<br />
in the Texas Two-Step incentive. This promotion rewarded them each time they generated at least<br />
300 in SV from two or more new Consultants who joined in the month of January. It is this ability to<br />
build volume through duplication and hone successful behaviors as Consultants grow their teams<br />
that can set the foundation for a strong business, and we are proud to share their stories with you.<br />
Read on for compelling stories of:<br />

Personal testimonials reflect individual experiences of Rodan + Fields ® Consultants. Rodan + Fields makes no guarantee that Consultants<br />
participating in the Rodan + Fields Compensation Plan will generate any income. Earnings depend on a number of factors, including the area<br />
in which you live and your individual effort. The results depicted in these testimonials substantially exceed the average results realized by all<br />
Rodan + Fields Consultants. The average annualized income for all Consultants who qualified for payment in 2011 was $4,115. Statistics on<br />
earnings by Consultants at various Title levels in the Rodan + Fields Compensation Plan can be found in the Income Disclosure Statement.
JAN BEN-RAJAB<br />
Level III Executive Consultant<br />
from Hawaii<br />
“Rodan + Fields sold<br />
itself … and now I have<br />
more time to take care<br />
of me!”<br />
Jan’s excitement about her improved skin<br />
sold others on the business.<br />
It’s a long way from Hawaii to Texas. However, Level III<br />
Executive Consultant Jan Ben-Rajab from Mililani, Hawaii,<br />
had no trouble two-stepping her way to the Rodan +<br />
Fields ® 2013 Convention in Dallas, Texas. Jan’s rewarding<br />
journey with Rodan + Fields started with a sample of a<br />
few Products given to her by a friend, Hi`ilei Uehara. Jan<br />
had struggled with problem skin since the birth of her<br />
children, and had sought help from dermatologists and<br />
topical treatments with only mediocre results. After trying<br />
Rodan Fields, Jan was soon hooked on the results: “It was<br />
a ‘had to have it, need it, want it [experience],’” she says.<br />
In addition to seeing a change in her own skin, Jan also<br />
noticed how great Hi`ilei’s skin looked. In January 2013 the<br />
two joined the business so they could continue purchasing<br />
Products at wholesale pricing.<br />
At first Jan had no interest in the business, but that attitude<br />
soon changed when she realized she was telling everybody<br />
about Rodan + Fields and its amazing Products. Jan’s<br />
excitement about her improved skin helped her generate<br />
a minimum of 300 in SV from each of 10 new Consultants<br />
in January. This qualified her for several Texas Two-Step<br />
Promotion rewards, including $1,000 in American Express<br />
gift cards. “Rodan + Fields sold itself,” she states. Jan<br />
has been an elementary school teacher for the past 17<br />
years, and one part of her job she doesn’t like is the time it<br />
takes away from her husband and two young children. In<br />
addition to supplementing her teaching income, she views<br />
her Rodan + Fields business as a way to eventually give<br />
her more time for her family—“And more time to take care<br />
of me!” she adds.
CONNIE DEAM<br />
Level II Executive Consultant<br />
from Iowa<br />
Connie uses her “Hour of Power” to steadily<br />
build her business.<br />
“By this time next year,<br />
I should be driving my<br />
new Lexus.”<br />
Level II Executive Consultant Connie Deam from Sheffield,<br />
Iowa, knew she “wanted in” when her daughter-in-law,<br />
Erica Deam, told her about Rodan + Fields ® at Christmas in<br />
2011. The following March, after debilitating health issues<br />
were making it impossible for her to continue her job at the<br />
local veterinarian clinic, Connie enrolled as a Consultant.<br />
With a nursing degree, Connie thought the idea of selling<br />
Products that help people change their skin was perfect<br />
for her. And she loved the idea of working the business on<br />
her own time table. She works most days from her recliner<br />
or massage chair, and although she has limited ability to<br />
devote to her business, Connie makes the most of what<br />
she calls her “Hour of Power.”<br />
Connie worked with her upline, Jen Griswold, to create a<br />
strategy to build her business and capitalize on Rodan +<br />
Fields’ Texas Two-Step Promotion. At the time, Connie had<br />
several Preferred Customers, so she contacted them to see<br />
if they wanted to become Consultants. Eight of her PCs<br />
became her business partners, qualifying Connie for many<br />
Texas Two-Step rewards. Connie loves doing one-on-one<br />
presentations, she says “launches are a blast,” and she<br />
has big plans for her future as she continues to work at a<br />
steady pace. “I am on track to make Level V EC and go to<br />
Napa Valley this fall, and by this time next year I should be<br />
driving my new Lexus,” she says. Connie also plans to do<br />
all she can to help her team make their dreams a reality,<br />
through the same support offered to her by her team.
MAISHA DIBLE<br />
Level IV Executive Consultant<br />
from Kansas<br />
“I’m going to the top …<br />
it’s just up to you if you<br />
want to go with me.”<br />
Maisha Dible got her spirit back with<br />
Rodan + Fields ® .<br />
Level IV Executive Consultant Maisha Dible from Kansas<br />
City, Kansas, was missing her “mojo” when she discovered<br />
Rodan + Fields in early December 2011. She loves being a<br />
mom to her three children, but she needed another outlet<br />
for her creative and competitive spirit. Maisha joined the<br />
company because she had used Proactiv ® in college and<br />
was familiar with the Doctors’ professional credibility, and<br />
she wanted a piece of their next “pie.” As a former college<br />
athlete, she realized Rodan + Fields could give her that<br />
team atmosphere she was missing in her life.<br />
Today, Maisha says she is getting her mojo back thanks to<br />
the camaraderie of her team, as well as the support she<br />
has received from people outside her organization. She<br />
has been touched by the many leaders who have told her<br />
how much they believe in her. This support and community<br />
helped fuel Maisha’s business growth: January was “crazy,”<br />
she says, and she shared her excitement with everyone—<br />
enthusiasm that netted her at least 300 SV in volume from<br />
each of eight new Consultants and handsome Texas Two-<br />
Step rewards at Convention. “For most I just said, ‘What do<br />
you have to lose? I’m going to the top … it’s just up to you<br />
if you want to go with me, have great skin or refer people to<br />
me ... either way, this is huge!’” Maisha says her greatest<br />
success is having her first business partner, Kara Moore,<br />
join her—a relationship Maisha says has kept her inspired<br />
and moving forward on her incredible journey. Maisha’s<br />
goals are clear: to make Level V EC by May, attend the fall<br />
Level V Arrival Trip, become a Lexus achiever by September<br />
and an Elite V achiever by December.
CHERIELYN ESTEBAR<br />
Level III Executive Consultant<br />
from Texas<br />
“The Texas Two-Step<br />
reward was my icing on<br />
the cake.”<br />
The Texas Two-Step Promotion was icing on<br />
the cake for Cherielyn Estebar.<br />
Cherielyn Estebar, Level III Executive Consultant from<br />
Frisco, Texas, had a very full plate when she joined Rodan<br />
+ Fields ® in December 2012. She is the mother of four,<br />
runs a business with her husband, works full-time in the<br />
airline industry and is a full-time nursing student. Cherielyn<br />
felt she had no time for anything else when she first heard<br />
about the opportunity. However, three months later she<br />
agreed to help her sponsor grow her team in the Dallas<br />
area, committed to a 15-minute call, and after carefully<br />
researching the company, decided to take action. She<br />
believes if you want something badly enough, you will find<br />
a way to achieve it, so she didn’t let her busy schedule stop<br />
her. Today, in addition to supplemental income, Cherielyn<br />
says her business has given her family “the best skin of<br />
our lives,” along with the chance for her to grow as an<br />
individual.<br />
Cherielyn was already building her team when she learned<br />
about the Texas Two-Step Promotion. She couldn’t contain<br />
her excitement about the company and felt obligated to<br />
share it with her family and friends right away. She enrolled<br />
eight Consultants with a minimum 300 SV in January to<br />
qualify for Two-Step rewards. "The reward from the Texas<br />
Two-Step Promotion was icing on the cake,” she says. The<br />
real reward for Cherielyn was seeing her friends and family<br />
fall in love with the Products as well. Her parents love the<br />
Products and her siblings have become Consultants, which<br />
has made her already close-knit family even closer. As she<br />
pursues her dream to help less fortunate children around<br />
the world, she credits her team for her success. “I feel<br />
blessed that I have such a great group of smart, positive,<br />
beautiful and hardworking women on my team,” she says.<br />
“None of my success would be possible without them.”
LAURIE FOOTE<br />
Level III Executive Consultant<br />
from Arkansas<br />
“I was much too<br />
excited to sleep; there<br />
was too much to learn!”<br />
Contagious enthusiasm fuels Laurie’s drive to<br />
reach her goals.<br />
Contagious enthusiasm is the “secret” to Laurie Foote’s fast-paced<br />
success as a new Level III Executive Consultant. Add in a goal<br />
to earn as many rewards as possible at Convention and telling<br />
every single person, everywhere she went, every single day about<br />
Rodan + Fields ® , and you have a successful Hamburg, Arkansas,<br />
woman who generated a minimum of 300 SV from each of seven<br />
Consultants enrolled in January to earn Texas Two-Step Promotion<br />
rewards. When Laurie joined Rodan + Fields in October 2012, she<br />
had recently returned to work as a dental hygienist after spending<br />
eight years as a stay-at-home mom. However, she was still looking<br />
for direction in her life. Then, “Bam! I attended a Rodan + Fields<br />
presentation and joined on the spot,” she says. Although unfamiliar<br />
with direct selling, Laurie knew immediately that she wanted to be<br />
part of the opportunity, not to mention start using the Products:<br />
“I was about to turn 40 and was suddenly panicked when I saw<br />
crow’s-feet around my eyes.”<br />
Hearing about the Texas Two-Step Promotion motivated Laurie<br />
to work even harder. “I was much too excited to sleep; there was<br />
too much to learn!” she says. As she began to enroll Consultants,<br />
she realized if she kept generating volume from new business<br />
partners she could qualify for the VIP shopping pass and a photo<br />
with the Doctors at Convention. So she kept sharing the opportunity<br />
everywhere she went. Laurie says her Rodan + Fields business<br />
has helped her rediscover herself, and her confidence is soaring<br />
through the roof. She especially loves that she can help others<br />
achieve their dreams as she works to reach her goal: to have the<br />
time and financial freedom to travel the world with her sons so they<br />
can experience other cultures firsthand.
KAREN AND JOHN HUDSON<br />
Level II Executive Consultants<br />
from Oklahoma<br />
Karen and John’s business has more than<br />
exceeded her expectations.<br />
“I am bolder and feel<br />
more empowered to<br />
set and reach higher<br />
goals as a result of my<br />
business.”<br />
Karen Hudson, Level II Executive Consultant from Ada,<br />
Oklahoma, initially joined Rodan + Fields ® with the goal of earning<br />
enough money to pay for her Rodan + Fields Products each<br />
month. “I thought it would be cool if I made more than that,” she<br />
says, “but I didn’t really expect to. Wow, have I been pleasantly<br />
surprised!” Karen is an organizational development consultant<br />
specializing in team building and communications, so her Rodan<br />
+ Fields business is a perfect fit for her professional expertise.<br />
Even better, Rodan + Fields has helped Karen validate her<br />
abilities and enhance her self-confidence, outcomes that have<br />
strengthened her consulting business as well. “I am bolder and<br />
feel more empowered to set and reach higher goals as a result of<br />
my Rodan + Fields experience,” she says.<br />
Karen teamed with her husband, John, to enroll eight<br />
Consultants, each with at least 300 in SV in January, to earn<br />
rewards through the Texas Two-Step Promotion. Karen feels this<br />
success can be attributed to really listening to her prospects’<br />
desires and needs before she says anything. “As I visited<br />
prospects, I made a conscious effort not to talk very much and<br />
really listen to them,” she explains. “The more they talked, the<br />
more information they provided about why and how Rodan +<br />
Fields could work for them ... I just had to connect the dots.”<br />
Karen’s goal is to help her team members reach their goals. And<br />
since she joined with her two best friends, she wants the three of<br />
them to reach Level V so they can take the Level V Arrival Trip to<br />
wine country and San Francisco together.
KATHLEEN WILDE<br />
Level I Executive Consultant<br />
from California<br />
Kathleen Wilde wants to use her Rodan +<br />
Fields ® business to “give back” in a big way.<br />
“Giving back” and creating a more flexible work schedule are<br />
the reasons Level I Executive Consultant Kathleen Wilde from<br />
Fairfield, California, became a Rodan + Fields Consultant in June<br />
2012. As a full-time process engineer, volunteer at her church,<br />
mother of four children aged 2 to 19, with a husband who works<br />
12-hour rotating shifts between days and nights, finding a way to<br />
design a life around her family’s schedule instead of around her<br />
work schedule is important to her. Kathleen hoped that getting<br />
involved with Rodan + Fields would be a powerful way to make<br />
significant changes in her life, not to mention others’ lives, both<br />
with the products and the business model.<br />
“I believe in Rodan +<br />
Fields and all it has to<br />
offer … not just to me,<br />
but to others.”<br />
Kathleen says she didn’t create a new strategy to qualify for<br />
Texas Two-Step rewards, she just continued to knowledgably and<br />
consistently share the opportunity—and never gave up. Some of<br />
the seven Consultants Kathleen enrolled, each with a minimum<br />
of 300 in SV in January, had already been using the Products. “I<br />
simply shared the opportunity for them to make some additional<br />
income while getting the Products at wholesale prices,” she says.<br />
Kathleen’s passion for the Company also helps her build her<br />
team: “I believe in Rodan + Fields and all it has to offer … not<br />
just to me, but to others,” she says. Kathleen’s goals are to reach<br />
Level V EC by the end of 2013 and eventually work part-time. She<br />
also hopes to retire her husband from his shift work in a few years<br />
and donate to various charities in a big way thanks to her Rodan<br />
+ Fields business.
HI`ILEI UEHARA<br />
Level III Executive Consultant<br />
from Hawaii<br />
Hi`ilei went from “not interested” to glowing<br />
skin and a booming business.<br />
“Not interested,” Hi`ilei Uehara, Level III Executive Consultant<br />
from Mililani, Hawaii, said when she was first approached about<br />
Rodan + Fields ® by her cousin, Lesley Uemura. That attitude<br />
changed dramatically after Hi`ilei used Lesley’s facial wash,<br />
noticed a difference in her skin, and then began using the<br />
Product sample Lesley had given her. Hi`ilei’s skin continued to<br />
improve, and she became more impressed. She had suffered<br />
from bad acne since age 12, and had tried everything to clear<br />
it up, even prescription medications. When people started<br />
commenting about her flawless skin and new “glow,” she was<br />
sold.<br />
“I am grateful that my<br />
booming business<br />
keeps me busy.”<br />
Hi`ilei’s Texas Two-Step success was a serendipitous journey.<br />
Even though Hi`ilei loved the Products, she still had no interest<br />
in the business. That changed on January 4, 2013, when she<br />
and her friend Jan Ben-Rajab shared the Products with family<br />
members. Hi`ilei says everyone purchased Products or signed up<br />
to be a Consultant. She and Jan enrolled on the spot. Hi`ilei says<br />
she didn’t really have a strategy to earn Texas Two-Step rewards,<br />
she was just so happy about her beautiful skin she couldn’t stop<br />
talking about it. “I must have given out 100 samples in less than<br />
a month,” Hi`ilei says, which garnered her at least 300 in SV<br />
from each of 10 Consultants. Hi`ilei is grateful for her “booming”<br />
Rodan + Fields business that has kept her busy and given her<br />
a support system to help her deal with the loss of her infant<br />
daughter last year. Eventually she hopes her business will give her<br />
the financial freedom to spend more time with her young son and<br />
focus on her nonprofit interests, including opening a ministry for<br />
grieving parents.
