Mana! An Interview with Nicole Johnson

​Wakaya Perfection is excited to recognize this born and raised Baltimore native. Nicole Johnson is a mother of three and has practiced as a registered nurse for 17 years! Her nurturing nature is signified by her caring for people. When she was introduced to Wakaya Perfection a year and a half ago, she thought this could be another outlet for helping others. “I always felt like there was so much more I could do to affect people’s lives, I felt this company was finally a resource to do so.” She adds, “When Wakaya was introduced to me, not only did I see it as a way to help others, but it was a way to add an extra income to my home. Like many, we all encounter hard times and if the products were changing my life and I could make extra money, I knew it would help others too.”

Wakaya is Nicole’s first introduction to network marketing. She adds, “I saw a lot of people I knew have success in direct sales, but I never pulled the trigger in a company until now. I waited until I found the right fit.” Nicole understands the stigma that sometimes surrounds the industry, but believes that there is great opportunity when you find a company and a system that you believe in. “We are family here in Wakaya. It doesn’t matter what team you are on. Everyone down to our executive leaders wants to see everyone win.”

When asked about her journey to achieving Ruby, Nicole was excited to discuss her supportive upline and her love for customers. “I like to take the time to love on my customers.” She says, “Customers make up your business, whether it be buying the products or giving out great referrals. With patience and educating others on what we do here, alleviates the pressure of making others feel they need to join the business.” Nicole says, “I get a ton of referrals from customers, I tell people, you are doing what I am doing not getting paid for it.”

Like anyone in the business, Nicole meets a lot of people that are not interested in direct sales. “Even when I started, I did not think I could sell anything. She states, “I was so excited about my own progress in weight loss, that building the business was easy because I was not afraid to share what changed my life with others.”

​At the end of the day, Nicole’s advice to others is simple. “You get what you give in this business. We are all on a journey. It is important to trust the system, remain coachable, be patient, and plug yourself in (to) what you are selling. Learn about how the business and products work. We have something that can change the quality of people’s lives. There isn’t another place I would want to be doing this business. I want to win, I will win, and I will help others achieve their goals.”
