Commission Structure: Commissions are 25% from Home Shows and school & library sales. The great thing is that the hostess benefits (her free and discounted products) come from the company and not the consultants! So your commission is yours to keep! You get paid immediately after closing a show. If you prefer to do larger venues, book fair commission is 20% or 17%, depending on the sales. Commission on direct sales are 17% (orders $25-$84.99) and 30% (orders of $85 or more). You will earn 3% ($350 sales) or 5% ($700 sales) bonus on your personal sales each month, as well as 4% bonus on all of your recruit’s sales (you do need to sell $350 to receive bonus from your recruits)! Supervisors receive an 11% override on her group’s sales. Recruiting commissions go three levels. Starting out you can figure you will make aprox. $100 commission from one home show. The hostess benefits are huge, which encourages people to book a show with you!

Business Kit Cost and Contents: We offer two kits: one is a kit special that changes every month (very affordable) and the other is our base kit with a ton of book titles and supplies, which is currently $125. The kits contain everything you need to begin your business. Many people will host their own first home show at their own home and earn more free books (as the hostess) and commission (as the consultant). This way you have a ton of product to display and you have also paid off the cost of your kit! Plus, you actually USE the books you display! So the books you use for your own family are also the books you display at shows and appointments! You do not have to buy additional seasonal kits…purchasing new items is your choice
