Q. Do I have to buy a lot of inventory and keep it stocked to do parties?
A. No. You order the products on your consultant workstation when customers order from you.
Q. How can I sell wickless candles?
A. Home Parties, "Basket" Parties - these are catalog parties with small samples your hostess can take to work, any gatherings, website orders, Fairs/Expos, etc. Check the handbook for complete information. Selling this product through online auctions (Ebay) or through retail establishments is not permitted.
Q. What payment types can I accept from customers? Are there credit card processing fees?
A. You can accept personal or business checks made payable to you, cash or credit cards (AMEX, Visa, Discover, Master Card). Consultants do not pay credit card processing fees.
Q. How do I get paid commission and bonuses?
A. You collect the retail price (plus tax* and shipping**if applicable) from customers and pay the retail price when you enter the order. You will be sent your commission and bonus each month. You will receive a commission and bonus check for the total sales you and your team (if applicable) made during the previous month. (You must sell $500 in the previous month to qualify for the leadership bonus).
*The tax rate is based on the zip code where the order will be shipped. Most orders will be shipped to you so check with your local state to find out what your tax rate is (sometimes there is more than one tax rate for an area so check which one is for non-food items).
**Shipping is free on party orders of $150 or more unless the customer wants the order shipped directly to a specific address instead of to the consultant or hostess. Then there is a 10% shipping charge (20% to addresses in Hawaii or Alaska).
