Love and success in Sarajevo

I first encountered Oriflame in December 2000 when my beautician showed me the catalogue, explaining how I could join as a Consultant and get a 30% discount. At that time I was a student, with no extra money or spare time to enjoy the products featured in the catalogue. So I decided to do nothing – but for the next five months the catalogue kept tempting me, inviting me to look through the pages again and again, thinking what products I’d like to have.

Eventually I had less to do at university and decided to join Oriflame and try the products. But then I faced another problem – finding a sponsor, since I’d lost contact with the beautician and didn’t know anybody else who was an Oriflame Consultant. However, one lucky morning I saw a woman in a shop showing the catalogue to the salesgirl. I had found my sponsor! I was incredibly excited – I guess I sensed the beauty Oriflame would soon bring into my life!

In May 2001 I received the Starter Kit and Success Plan. It was perfect! The Oriflame business plan delighted me. I was studying Business Administration at the time, and immediately realized that with Oriflame I could build my own business without an initial investment, without any risk, and with great support from the company. My enthusiasm was growing by the minute! I ordered products for the first time for my friends and myself. The products were fantastic and I shared that experience with everyone I met. I found additional literature about direct sales and network marketing, and learned how to work with people. After two months, once I’d got the hang of things, I started to offer this fantastic business opportunity to others. I made my first recruit, then another four. I got great support from my Director and everything started to develop with lightning speed.

As a Senior Manager, I participated at a Director’s Seminar and there I met Zeljko, my future husband, who was then a Gold Director. Very soon I became Director and very soon we were married! Thanks to Oriflame, not only have I became successful businesswoman, I’ve also found the love of my life…

Zeljko and I continue to work together. Today we are Oriflame Sapphire Directors and enjoy a true Oriflame lifestyle: a good standard of living, travel, having fun. Recently we bought a brand new car, a Chevrolet Lacetti, which will make our Oriflame work even more effective and enjoyable. We already have our sights set on the Oriflame Diamond Conference. For those thinking about joining Oriflame, I would suggest: don’t think, just join! You’ll be doing the right thing. This business brings so many positive changes to your life that you’re bound to be happier then ever before! For us, Oriflame means happiness.
