Direct Sales: Premier Designs, Silpada, Pure Romance, Purse Parties, Arbone, Mary Kay, Lia Sophia, etc..?
I want to compare company models for businesses. So I am looking for answers from those of you who are consultants for in-home parties/open houses. (ie.. premier designs, pure romance, silpada, pampered chef) I am not looking for you to recruit me to be in your downline- For now I am just looking for general info to compare.

Examples: What percentage of sales do consultants earn? What promotions do you offer to get people to book parties at a show? What benefits/perks does a host get for having a show? Etc etc...

thanks so much in advance! The more answers the better- and I will pick a best answer!

Hello!

What a great question to post!!!!!

The Body Shop At Home is a ground floor opportunity with all that direct sales has to offer as well as the 27th most recognized brand in the world.

Our Products: All of our products are made with love of life, the world we live in, community spirit and trading fairly! Our Spring Trend make-up has caught the eye of the national media including Self, Glamour, Redbook, CosmoGirl, InStyle, Latina and Ladies' Home Journal.

Our Values: We separate ourselves with core values that make you feel proud of who we are, where we came from and where we are going. Support Community Trade. Protect Our Planet. Activate Self Esteem. Defend Human Rights. Against Animal Testing. Yes, We're Made with Pass!on

Our Customers: We love to celebrate each one. Everyone is an individual. My favorite core values are Activating Self Esteem and Defending Human Rights. Each month we have fantastic offers for our customers. This month we are having a 30% Off Skin Care Bundles for Every Customer. No matter what type of skin care our customers have they can save on a bundle that is just right! Three piece skin care bundles are 30% off all month.

Our Hosts: Our at home parties are non-traditional – we call them GNO’s (Girls Nite Out’s). Out hosts can choose from our 4 main GNOs - Fabulous Face GNO; Spa Experience GNO; Make Me Fabulous GNO; or a Foot Fun Party. We have fun and relaxing while experiencing an evening of self indulgence! As far aswhat a Host can earn... We have the best host plan out there!!! A $500 Girls Nite Out could reward a hostess with over $300 in product for $75. (this includes a Free collection - host choice, 3 ½ off collections - host choice, Host Bonus, Say Yes Gift - host choice, $60 in pick your own products (Host Thank You Gift, Host Say Yes Gift and 2 Booking Gifts) host choice. And... more ½ off collections for 4-5 bookings. This month our Hosts can get their own collection for FREE when they hold a GNO with sales of $350 or more! The collection, worth $51.50, includes Blushing Daisy Palette 01 Light Pink, Shimmer Buds 01 and Lip Gloss 01 Shade: Tulip Peach. The perfect spring look!

Our Consultants: WOW! Where do I start…? Our consultants can earn up to 45% of their commission - plus other bonues. We earn free products monthly, we earn 1/2 price products monthly. Consultants can also earn Kit Builder - that is featuring our Summer Products NOW for 1/2 price! We also have promotions every month to earn groupings of free products. TBSAH calls it our 2-4-8 challenge. This month we can earn over $152 in products including the new spring products. PLUS, we can earn Products Every Week With the "Just One More" Promotion. Basically, a consultant can earn over $40 in products EVERY WEEK! With the Just One More Challenge. Each week a new flyer is posted with what we can earn this week.

Joining Offers: The Body Shop At Home has a fabulous offer lined up for new Consultants! The $150 Delux Starter Kit - that includes over $600 in products as well as all the business tools that are needed for a successful business. Plus, in March a new consultant can earn a bonus kit with a travel burner, the new Sailboat Home Fragrance Oil, GNO folders, Host coaching envelopes AND a tub tote when a new consultant has $400 in her first full month.
We also have lots of incentives for our consultants... an MP3 player, a GPS system or even a relaxing five day spa trip, laptop, printers, jelwerly, incentive trips - Hawaii, Aruba, Reno... etc....

KEY: Consumable High Quality Products! No Stock, No Inventory, No need to invest in any than the kit. Minimal stuff to take to a GNO . TBSAH is not a saturated market - we need consultants - we are ground floor and only have been in direct sales for almost 6 years!!!! We are backed by a well established and marketed brand! Our national average GNO is about $400 - with a group of 6 people. My team and I average at least $500. The average amount of guest are 8. I have been doing this for 3 years. It started as my hobby - but then it began to double with each GNO that I did and with each new Team member that joined.

A new TBSAH consultant with reaching her first Sure Start this month and holding a successful March launch will be receiving almost $2000 in products!!!!! When all the host benefits, the kit value and promotional giveaways are added up!!!!!

I hope that I answered your question correctly! Everyone should love what they do - like I do!!!! I love talking to anyone about any aspect of this amazing company! Look forward to seeing you pick this as your BEST Answer!

Good Luck and Warmest Wishes, Dana Wainstein

I am an Independent Wine Consultant with Wine Shop at Home(tm). While we are a new company we have been doing massive growth over the past five years. We offer limited edition wines from small vineyards around the world and bring them to you for a try before you buy program plan. Doing it this way allows us to have a no pressure sale and allows us to teach a little about wines and varietals.
The compensation plan is very well planned and is very comparable to most companies, however I think we are a bit better when you start comparing levels if you sponsor people.
I would be more than happy to email you more about this and a compensation plan chart for you to look over. Or visit my website www.vineyardlovers.com

I must say that I am also a Pure Romance consultant and while its completely a different type of party its a lot of fun! They start you off at 35% commission but can work your way up to 52% commission based on sales of recruits,etc.
You don't have to carry inventory however the norm in the industry is that you do. That being said one of the cons is lugging around all that inventory to each and every party.
Pure Romance is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. They are a very well respected and established company, especially in their industry.
At times the PR market can be a little saturated but with your good skills in sales and recruiting you will do just fine. Pamper the hosts.
Out of the 35% commission you do have to pay for any and all hostess gifts, free merchandise, etc. It may sound bad but its not that bad. Average party sales are about $700.

If you would like to find out more about this please feel free to email me offline- pcegroh@aol.com or through my website submit an inquiry www.vineyardlovers.com

Bottom line is- you have to find something that you really want to do. You don't just sell a plan because of the money- you have to love the product too. If you truly enjoy a product it will show in your sales. Good Luck!
Hope this helps!
Christie

In Mary Kay you make 50% of the sales you own your own business so you buy directly from the company for wholesale and sell to the customer for retail what sales or perks you offer is up to you however the company does offer suggestions and training to help you. Other avenues of income include team building and career car program.
I think when it comes to picking a home business you are smart to compare party plans however it is just as important to believe in the product you decide to sell. I love what I do because I share something I love and believe in. I make women feel good about themselves. I love the company and it's values how it treats the sales, listens to our concerns and supports us so we succeed. I love a consumable product it gives reorder business. The plan allows me to set my own pace to work as little or as much as I want and achieve any level of success I desire while putting my faith and family before my career. Becareful on making an emotional decision be sure to research each company that interest you factually there are so many and everyone thinks theirs is the best as they should.
:)
Wishing you all the best.

Hello! I am a Pure Romance Consultant. First off I LOVE this company, even before being a consultant I was a faithful customer for years! Now for the facts. With Pure Romance you start out as a new consultant with a buying discount of 35% and can increase that level by recruiting up to 60%! We run kit specials every month to help you start your business. I made the money back I spent on my kit which was $500 back after only 2 parties. Our hostesses earn 10% of their total party sales in FREE product, I like to throw in more little gifts depending on the outcome of sales. You can offer any kind of incentice you want to get women to book a party with you there are no rules there, I often will do "host a party on this day get a free bullet". We get AMAZING training from corporate with bi monthly training sessions, also the team you sign up with will have monthly meetings, and there is annual training at corporate, plus our website has all the tools you need and a forums section to get questions answered by other consultants. Pure Romance is also very good to their consultants with products sales to boost our income ability every week, the ability to earn free product monthly, you can even win LUXURIOUS trips for retial sales and recruiting.

I have a recruiting packet that goes into much greater detail that I could send out to you if you're interested. That way you can see for yourself the possibilities with this company. Let me know if you have any questions or would like the packet, I would love to help you out!

Well, I'd like to make this short & sweet.

I am a consultant with The Pampered Chef & absolutely LOVE it!!

I will just give you the basic information because I don't want to overwhelm you with stuff that is unimportant at this point.

With Pampered Chef (PC), you can earn between 20-25% of your commissionable sells each month depending on how much you sell.

There is no need to offer promotions to get people to book a show because Pampered Chef offers them for you. They have monthly host specials & guest specials, & they even offer past host specials. For one year following a host's party, they get a 10% discount. They also get the host special at a friend's party that was book up to 6 months after theres off their party. For example, Mary has a party in January & Sue books a party at Mary's for May, then Mary would get the May host special at Sue's party (I hope that makes sense).

At a party, there are different tiers that a host can earn for hosting a show. These include a % off, half-priced items, & pampered chef dollars redeemable at their show.

With Pampered Chef, you also have the opportunity to purchase products from 20-40% off for yourself & earn trips & other incentives such as Pampered Chef dollars.

If you'd like more information, you can email me and I'd be glad to chat with you about the Pampered Chef opportunity.

Best of luck in your search!!

Hello! Glad to hear you're interested in learning about Silpada! Ultimately, you have to pick the company that best fits you and we all love our companies that we work for, but I have yet to hear of a company that offers you more income potential and an easier party than Silpada Designs jewelry. I notice you're looking at Premier and Lia Sophia as well, and to that I would say, the only upside to those jewelry companies over Silpada is that it costs less to start and if your target party crowd is people that want a cheap purchase price. Silpada is not costume/fashion jewelry! Silpada is BY FAR higher quality. It is the highest quality .925 Sterling Silver jewelry, natural materials, and all individually handcrafted pieces. I've heard Lia Sophia people say but they have a lifetime guarantee. Silpada has the exact same guarantee. As far as earnings...You earn 30% on jewelry sales and 15% on belts and watches. As of August 1, 2008 all will be 30%. This is higher than most home parties AND Silpada is among the highest average party sales in the direct selling industry. So not only are you earning a higher percentage, but you're earning a higher percentage on higher sales! On average $225 for 2-3 hours at a home party. In addition, should you choose to recruit representatives your override commissions are ubelieveable! Silpada jewelry sells itself! There is no formal presentation or demonstration you have to perform at home parties like some other companies. It's designed around a casual, open house style party. Just girls' night out playing dress up with jewelry! Your product samples are your own jewelry box! To sign on you may order anything at 50% off. Generally, $850 will get you an excellent start. This may seem really high compared to other companies, but you will earn all of that back after your first 3-4 parties and it is all your own personal jewelry to keep! If you want you can put your start up on a credit card so you don't have to put up the whole sum at once and you can pay it back as you do those first couple parties. I recommend to have at least 4 party dates scheduled with your friends and family before you even send your paperwork in so you are guaranteed to earn your investment back right away. And in the long run you will earn much more money than the companies with smaller start ups. This is your own business, you get out of it as much as you put in. There are no quotas to meet, you can work as much or little as you want. One party a week = $900/month in your pocket! You don't have tons of product samples to carry around and store in your home! Your other question, hostesses earn 30% of their party sales as well for parties of 10 orders and $500. 20% for 6 orders/$300 and $25 free for 3 orders $150. Again the average hostess earns $225 in Free Jewelry! Silpada also offers many, many, many other incentives including paid vacations, up to $3,000 free jewelry in your first 90 days, and 50% off once a year with a new catalog and once a year with spring additions. I hope that answers some of your questions and there is so much more I can share with you if you have more questions and a couple websites you can check out with information! Let me know what I can help you with!

Hi I would love to chat with you about Purse Party!

Our consultants earn 30% the night of their party. If you sell $1000 in a month then you earn an extra 10%.

We offer several incentives from a corporate stand point to help hostesses get parties booked. This month hostesses and consultants can have their names entered into a drawing to win a trip to Cancun. We have several different things that we offer.

We always have a contest going on for consultants, and a customer special each month!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime!

Thanks,

Melaleuca is the way to go in my opinion, I have been successful for 3 years and now have lifetime residual income I can will to my children but more importantly never need to look at another company or opportunity again.
My advice on things to look for in a home business:
-is the income residual
-no financial risk to get started
-BBB company that is debt free and has grown every year
-no compensation plan breakaways
-no inventory to sell, stock, and deliver
-rewards for helping others not competing with them
I talk to people everyday who have tried others and all roads do lead to Melaleuca because our compensation plan is outstanding and we meet all the criteria above.
