CONSULTANT PROFILE Now that her three children are all grown up, Marida Pretorius, a leading consultant from Kyalami, is excited to focus even more time and energy on growing her successful Annique business. Marida Pretorius, a 46 year old top 50 consultant from Kyalami, followed in her mother’s footsteps building her Annique business while raising her children. She is now more excited than ever about investing more energy into her business since her children are grown up and able to support themselves. She has been selling Annique products part-time since the age of 19, during her university years and while teaching at two nursery schools for 11 years, until she decided to work full time on her business, when her youngest son began grade one. This consultant has a passion for young children, enjoys reading, watching movies, creating arts and crafts, going for walks and beautifying her house and garden. A traditional start to Annique When Marida was 14 years old her mother, Dalena Stulting, began selling Annique products after attending a demonstration party where Dr Annique Theron was demonstrating the products. “Dr Theron invited my mother, who was a stay-at-home mom, to become a consultant and from that moment on my mom became passionate about Marida and her mother Dalena Stulting taking part in selling Annique products. When the festivities of the overseas trip to Greece in 1995. I was 19 years old, studying a B-Primary Education Degree at Rand Afrikaans University, I began working as a consultant part time,” she says. After completing her degree, Marida went on to work for a nursery school in Newlands for five years and after this began running a nursery school in Bryanston, while continuing to sell Annique products part time. “After studying Beauty Therapy at Madge Wallace International College of Skincare and Body Therapy in Parktown North, when my youngest son began grade one, I decided to work full time to grow my Annique business. My husband built a salon onto his offices in Midrand where I currently run my business from, working mainly in the Kyalami, Fourways and Sandton areas,” she says.

Wonderful perks of being a consultant perks Marida says the benefit of being an Annique consultant is that she enjoys working flexible hours for a company that cares about their consultants and clients. She says it is wonderful to be able to pay her own salary and make a difference in other people’s lives. “Annique is a winning product so it’s a win-win situation. It is amazing to see the positive difference Annique makes in the lives of consultants and clients. Through Annique I have become more organised, can manage my own finances and have done a great deal of research on people’s social habits,” she says. Marida says through the Presentation Skills Course, which she attended in December 2011, she is also now more self-assured and able to talk more confidently in front of people. “In the beginning I found it difficult to speak English, but because 80% of my consultants are English, I had to learn to speak the language more confidently to grow my business,” she says.

For 15 years the Pretorius family lived on a smallholding in Kyalami and during 2012 moved to Pecanwood Estate near Hartebeespoort. “Together we have three sons and welcomed a daughter-in-law into the family in March 2012 when Helgard, our eldest son got married. Helgard, who is 24 years old, completed his final year as a Theology student at Stellenbosch University in 2012 and began working at the NG Moedergemeente, Stellenbosch this year,” she says. Erin, their daughter-in-law who is 23 years old, works as junior lecturer at Stellenboch and is busy with her Doctorate degree in Translation. Their second son, Hugo, who is 22 years old, is a student in Sport Science and Biokinetics at Stellenbosch University. Altus, their youngest son, is 20 years old and is the musician in the family, studying teaching at Potchefstroom University. MARIDA’S MARVELOUS TIPS FOR CONSULTANTS • Everyone is important in your team, but it may not be their season or they may have a problem as to why they can’t focus on their business. As Ernest says, 10% of your downline are stars and 60% have the ability to be successful but it may not be their time. • As a leader you need to know where your consultants are and be there for them contacting them regularly and helping those who want to grow. • Build leaders in your first level of consultants from the outset, so that you can avoid having to do everything yourself and can create balance in your life. • Be there for your consultants and help build your leaders’ downlines. They must know they can depend on you and that you will help them. • Hold team meetings at least once a week and if you can’t attend your consultants meetings, follow up with them. • Invest a great deal into your consultants and emphasise the overseas trips as this becomes a point of great motivation for them. Marida, Hester Kruger and Naomi Egerer pamper themselves with Annique products at the Home Office Jubilee 2012. products Top Annique products “I am so excited about Annique products. If I had to highlight just a few of my favourites, they would definitely be the Essense Moisture Serum, Lucid Ultimate Moisture for Dry Skin, Essense Intense Repair Serum, Essense Skin Detox and Essense Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil as I could immediately see a difference in my skin using these products,” she says. highlights Happy highlights and inspirations of Annique Two of the highlights of being part of Annique for Marida, have been seeing her business grow over the years and going on the overseas trips. She says the first overseas trip she went on was the trip to Greece in 1995 where she and her mom qualified to go. “The second overseas trip I went on was the trip to Dubai in 1996 and again I qualified together with my mom and took my younger sister Helena with. I have also been on the trips to Europe in 1998 and Australia in 2002 and am now aiming for Vietnam,” says Marida. She says her mother has always been a role model for her giving her guidance through example. “My mother treats both young and old in the same way and is my pillar of strength. I am so thankful for what I have learned from her about planning my business and organising functions,” says Marida. aspirations Fabulous future aspirations Marida says the thing which drives her success now is that for many years, her life was solely focussed on her children, however now she can focus on her business as she no longer needs to support her children. “In the next five years I want to continue building strong leaders and expand my first downline. I am thankful to my downline for their hard work, wonderful personalities, working as a team and being willing to walk the extra mile with me,” she says. Marida says she is also grateful to her husband, who has a great deal of business knowledge and supports her through everything. “I enjoy being financially independent and not having to rely on my husband for money– I believe every woman should be financially independent and I enjoy making a difference in people’s lives,” she says. Marida adds that is wonderful to work for a company where Ernest and Angelique, the owners, do so much for their employees, consultants and clients. She says everyone is important to them, no matter what kind of sales they are doing for the business. “It’s not about sales and money for Ernest and Angelique, but rather about the person. It is a privilege to be part of Annique, as the company puts a great deal into their consultants to better themselves,” she says. 7
