When did you join Norwex
and what inspired you to be a
Consultant?
I joined Norwex at the end of
September 2015. I went to a Norwex
in Home Demonstration at a friend’s
house and fell in love with the
products that night. Norwex were
having a “Join For Free” promotion
and when I looked at my very long
wish list, I thought the best option
for me would be to sign up and
get the 32% Consultant Discount.
My plan was to get what I needed
and sell the products to my friends
and family. I had no ambition to
do any parties. Once my Join for
Free FreshSTART Package arrived,
6
I decided that I wanted to get all
the free things in the FreshSTART
Rewards, so I starting selling
Norwex to anyone who would
visit my house (which turned out
to be quite a few people). About 8
months later my friends were asking
me to do parties and I decided I
would give one a try – it went really
well! I got 5 party bookings… and
here began my journey into the
world of recruiting and in-home
demonstrations.
What has your Norwex business
done for you and your family?
Norwex has provided the ‘treat’
money for our family – holidays,
movies, outings, take-aways etc. All
PEOPLE . leader interview with Bridey Hentschel
those things that get cut out of the
weekly budget when you are only
on one income.
But the biggest ‘surprise’ of what
Norwex has done for our family
is what it has provided for me. It
has given me a way to be a ‘stay
at home mum’ as well as use the
skills and abilities I once got to use
when I had a career. I never thought
that I would have this opportunity
again until my children were a lot
older. For me, it’s not about the
money, but about the contribution
I am able to make, and the sense of
purpose it gives me in being able to
use my gifts and abilities. And that is
priceless!!
