Global Skincare Domination with Janna Ronert

Headshot size for WP (3)

Due to growing up on a farm, hard work and determination was instilled in Janna from a young age. Even though she had a successful career in sales and marketing, the beauty industry kept calling her name. So she took those childhood traits and her love for skincare, and created one of the most recognizable clinical skincare companies in the world, IMAGE Skincare. 

In today’s episode, we sit down with Janna Ronert, founder of IMAGE Skincare, a paraben-free clinically backed skincare company that has dominated the global market. Janna shares the importance of clinical studies, her secret to an amazing sales team, her biggest lessons, and so much more. If you’re looking to take your business to the next level, this is the episode to listen to!

“I always had this passion for beauty. So secretly at night, I went back and I became an esthetician and I got into the esthetician world and I decided to go into the skincare world.” – Janna Ronert
