Can Two Sign up to Be Consulants as a Team?

[lkspeir]

I have two ladies that would like to sign up to be team consultants. In other words to do shows, etc. together. How does that work? Does PC allow that??

I am curious about this too! I have a couple that is interested in signing up together. How does that work?

My wife and I will be doing everything together as well. What we did was I signed up as the consultant but Sara and I will both be active in every aspect of the business.

I think it will work great for couples, but might be a little different with jsut friends. As long as they get along great and split the responsibilities (and the commission) then I don't see much of a problem!

From Pampered Chef's point of view, only one person can sign up. Now, your recruiter can sign both people, but you cannot sign someone who lives at your physical address. Every month you will see a $2 fee come out of your commission check. That is for liability insurance. If you were to burn a host's carpet or break something of theirs in a demo, PC's insurance would cover it. If the signed consultant is not there, the insurance will not cover it. Another problem you could come across is a divorce or end of a friendship. Customers would have to be split up and the unsigned person would have to sign in order to keep going. However, lifetime sales and trip points cannot be split up. If you are doing this with another friend, you need to work out the trip points and product incentives as well as what will happen if the team has to break up. What if one person has to move? Anyhoo, for those of you who can do it with your spouse, congrats! I think it can be a very good thing. Just make sure you understand and plan for the worst.

I had 2 friends sign up (1 signed up) they did all shows together and split the commission and then at the end of the year they thought about taxes one could deduct the other couldn't. One got a boy friend and was too busy so it fizzeled from there but in the beginning they did great sand had fun. Sold about $15,000 then quit. For married couple the tax issue would not be there or the boyfriend issue (hopefully)

I have a team selling together. It is an aunt/niece (only 2 years apart). The niece signed and the aunt goes to all her shows with her and assists her. They are very aware of the insurance issue.

Another relative is an accountant and she is working out the division of income for tax purposes.

These two do everything together and have for years. Works for them.

The one thing they can't share is the points accrued and the vacations/products, unless they take each other.

Mother/daughter teamI did a Bridal Show in May and mom and her daughter ONLY wanted to do it as a team. I told them I didn't see how they could do that.
