Mari Santo-Domingo Senior National
Executive Director - Puerto Rico
From the time she was a young
girl, Mari Santo-Domingo already
had the makings of a BeautiControl
success story. She had a strong
and independent sense of style and
fashion, and she also knew that
someday she wanted to be her own
boss and own her own business.
“My parents owned
their own business and they were strong community
leaders,” says Mari, “So it was
natural for me to develop an entrepreneurial
and determined attitude that has
allowed me to make the best of
the BeautiControl opportunity.”
“I just love what I
see coming– the
future is bright with BeautiControl.”
When
Mari first joined the business
in 1990, she would simply place an
order every four months so as to not
lose her Consultant status. It wasn’t
long before Mari began to realize the
power of recruiting and the full potential
of her BeautiControl business.
“I remember when I
went to my first
national conference, Celebration, I had
just gotten married and Celebration
was my honeymoon trip without my
husband Miguel; we couldn’t afford
to buy tickets for two. I remember
on awards night sitting in the back of
the room asking myself, ‘What do I
need to do to be up on that stage?’” Her
question was answered… every
year after that Celebration, Mari
has been up on that stage, being
recognized for her achievements.
Mari
and Miguel decided to share their vision of
the BeautiControl
opportunity with as many people
as possible in Puerto Rico. Since
1993, they have been instrumental
in growing the Hispanic Consultant
base for BeautiControl.
They
used to translate their own literature for
those clients and
Consultants who only spoke Spanish.
They were an integral part in the push
for BeautiControl’s efforts to cater
to
the growing Hispanic market. She
attributes this growth to her fervent
recruiting efforts in Puerto Rico and a
willingness to go beyond the call of duty.
Those
efforts have been rewarded with trips to London,
Paris, Vienna,
Hungary, Budapest, Scotland, Ireland,
Venice, Rome, Monte Carlo, Nice,
Hawaii, New York, the Doral Resort,
Boca Raton, Miami, Los Angeles, San
Diego, San Francisco, Hollywood,
Las Vegas, the Atlantis Resort in the
Bahamas, St. Thomas, Cancun, the
Mayan Riviera and Cabo San Lucas… all thanks to BeautiControl, she says.
“This
opportunity lets you positively change lives
as well as your own. The barriers exist solely
in your mind… Always remember that
success is inevitable!
As
a Senior National Executive Director, Mari
continues to set high goals for
herself and her team. She leads and
mentors a team of more than 100
BeautiControl Directors. “Being able
to
make a difference and have a sense
of belonging that makes you feel so
special is one of my favorite things
about BeautiControl,” she says.
“I just love what I
see coming — the
future is bright with BeautiControl.
When you join us you can literally see
immediate results. This opportunity lets
you positively change lives as well as
your own. The barriers exist solely in your
mind… Set goals, dream billion dollar
big and always remember that: El Exito
es Inevitable!” (Success is inevitable.)
