I joined to earn some extra money to save me from going back to work full time! The money is good, but comission is 20% of sales, and if you want to buy the product (as you often do to keep up to date with stock specials and sales) the price is 32% discount. Then literature and party gifts have to be purchased. Thats where the other 12% comes into it. So really, your comission is 32% but 12% is for literature etc. I found once I joined I was set up for the first 6 parties (the idea is to have your kit paid off in 6 parties, then you start earning. Until your kit is paid off, your commission pays your kit off)
I am currently having a slump in sales and parties and recently had 2 hosts (sisters actually) stress me right out - to the point that dh has said "NO MORE!" to being a demonstrator. The 2nd host's order isn't complete (something is on backorder) and didn't want a 2wk delivery but a 3wk one, and now that that one order is on backorder, I'm to wait til then to deliver it all. So in the meantime I have a $700 party order cluttering my office and my Tupperware account overdue (I'm collecting the money at delivery - whoever hasn't paid by then doesn't get their order til they pay - standard tupperware practice). AND you will get those hosts that want to rip you off (like this host I'm talking about). She wanted a thank you gift that was on special during Birthday week for 50% off (a one week only special). The same item was available thru the rest of the month at 15% off, but she wanted the one for 50% off. I explained to her that that wasnt the way it worked, and she was quite rude and stubborn. I said I'd speak to my manager and get back to her on Monday. Turns out I had forgot to give her host credits and the hosts credits worked out to be the difference between the 15% and 50% anyway.
It's not always easy, specially in a dating slump, but the rewards are definately worth it!
(sorry to drop that issue of the host on you, but I kinda needed it off my chest and if you are considering it, there are ppl out there like this! On the whole most hosts are great!!) Msg me if you want to discuss anything!
