Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions for me? Great! I had hoped you would. Below you will find our most frequently asked questions. If you don't find the answer(s) you are looking for, please contact me and we'll get them answered for you!

 

How much money can I make?

That depends on you entirely. My first couple of months, I made my start-up costs back by doing a few craft and vendor shows. It helped to not only get our new products out to the public, but also to get our new business out there as well. We often call this "seed planting", and it does work!

The important thing is what you earn will be based on your own efforts. We will customize a business plan that works for you and your interests, strengths and goals. My belief is that in the next few years, especially as new products come out and as people become more and more aware of the benefits of an all natural vegetable blend wax, you will see many six figure income earners in our business. Will you be one of them?

 

How soon will I make money?

Again, that depends on you. Many people make money their very first day by just calling a few friends and letting them simply smell the candles. This is where your sampler pack is SO important. If you are coachable, we will work together to help you retail, set up a few fundraisers and begin to sponsor others your very first month. The question really is "How much do you want to make your first month?"

 

How do I get started?

First, be sure you are committed to wanting more in your life and working with a team committed to getting more!

Then, complete the ONLINE SIGN-UP FORM. If I am enrolling you, your enroller will be Patti Price and my ID is 2490. Do not put anything in the placement box.

Make sure you order the Candle of the Month AND if you want to start making money right away, at least one sampler case. Remember, the company will pick your first 12 scents. If it is important for you to pick your own scents, then sign up for the COTM, and then the next day call into the company and order your first case. Don't forget about brochures, postcards and door hangers.

Now, the real fun begins. I will get you started with "Your Roadmap to Success", our team phase 1 training packet, and our partnership will be launched.

 

How do I build my business?

We have a system that will work for anyone - the part timer, full timer, those who love to recruit others and those who don't. The key to building your business is to find what fits your style and personality, put your nose to the grindstone and move forward. My training will teach you how to find what will work for you. Personally, I focus on all three areas for maximum profits. I retail the candles, I am setting up fundraisers and I am recruiting others to the team. My retailing and fundraising efforts produce interested prospects.

Retailing can be done through - friends, family, open houses, home parties, retail stores, craft shows and boutiques, county fairs and street fairs, business expos, while out and about, etc.

Fundraisers - sports teams, school PTA's/PTO's, church groups, youth groups, dance studios, non-profit organizations, school bands, boy/girl scouts, etc.

Sponsoring Others - I will teach you how to sponsor people that come to you and are ready to start a business.

 

How can I find leads?

People who will be interested in your business are everywhere. I prefer to work only with people who are interested and come to me. I believe that a big reason that many people are not successful in Network Marketing is because they aren't talking to the right people. Working with leads and people that find me online is a much more desirable way to do business. If you are interested, I will teach you a system for developing a presence online with a personal website, much like this one. That's after we get your Phase 1 business started and profitable!

 

Will you teach me how to build my business online?

YES! That's my passion, and what I know is that for you to be successful online you must complete Phase 1 first and our other aspects of building the business. This is to ensure your success. Successfully building a business online requires a personal website, which is available to you through the team or you can create your own like I did. Let's talk about the options.

 

Can I sell candles online? Do they drop ship?

Yes! Your customers can now purchase their products directly form your corporate site. After the company packs the order, they will ship it directly to your customer's door!

 

What if I only have 5 - 10 hours a week to work my business?

It's not quantity of time that matters, it's quality of time. Reading email, reading books and studying the website can seem like business time, but it won't produce one red cent for you. So, as long as you are willing to make that 5-10 hours productive time, you can have a successful business.

I don't want to talk to people I know, can I still be successful with this business?

Yes, you can. Although I encourage you to at least let your friends, family and others know about your new business and let them smell the candles. You do not have to tell them about the business side, or even ask them to buy anything. Simply tell them what you are doing and ask if they have any ideas. Personally, I share the products with my friends and family, but only talk to them about the business if they come to me and ask.

 

I have been in Network Marketing before and have not had success. Why will this program work for me?

I can't promise you that it will work for you, but I do know about the commitment I will make to you.

First, what reasons do you believe were the cause of your previous lack of success? What will you do differently? How committed are you to achieving what you say you want? Are you coachable? Are you willing to work closely with me and follow a system for success? If you get clear on what you do want, let go of the past, and focus forward, your past will not dictate your future.

 

I have small children and/or homeschool my children. Can I still build a business?

Although, my children are in their early teens, their schedules are very busy, especially during the school year. And yes, you CAN build your business with small children. My sponsor has a 6 year old and a 2 year old and is doing fantastic! We're great testimonials for building a successful business around an active and growing family.

This business embraces the whole family. My kids and husband are all actively involved. They get just as excited about each sale that I make as I do. I'm able to work around my family's schedule and find balance in my business.

Allow your children to empower you in your business, not as an excuse not to build a business. We will teach you how to get them involved in your business if you and they would like to.
