Good Morning! I know I am supposed to know this but I cannot remember ...I am wondering what I cannot get if I do a show with myself as the host? Could someone help me out? Thanks in advance!
 
You just won't get commission on anything you buy as the host. You'll still get commission on guest orders & you can get free product, special, etc. as the host.

Okay... I am getting the Cookware 1/2 price deal for Christmas so I wouldn't be getting commission on that anyway... and I get to deduct my Christmas gift right? :)
 
No booking benefitsNo booking benefits, so if someone books a show off of yours you cannot get the host special at their show!
That is a bummer.
But everything else is the same, except for that commission on your host order.

Debbie :D
 
I am dying to get the cookware me and my hubby got the roasting pan just barely and he loves it
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of being a Consultant and hosting my own party?

As a Consultant, hosting your own party allows you to showcase your products directly to your customers and friends. You can earn additional rewards, including free products and discounts, while also gaining valuable experience in presenting and selling. Additionally, you have full control over the party’s theme, timing, and guest list, which can lead to a more personalized experience.

Can I still earn rewards if I host a party as a Consultant?

Yes, as a Consultant, you can earn rewards when you host your own party. You can receive host benefits such as discounts, free products, and exclusive offers, just like any other host. This can significantly boost your earnings and product knowledge, enhancing your ability to sell effectively.

Is it better to host my own party or use a different Consultant's party?

It depends on your goals. Hosting your own party allows you to maximize your rewards and tailor the experience to your audience. However, using another Consultant’s party can provide you with insights into different selling techniques and product presentations, which can be beneficial for your own business. Consider your current needs and what you hope to achieve.

How does hosting my own party impact my sales as a Consultant?

Hosting your own party can positively impact your sales by increasing your visibility and allowing you to connect with potential customers in a more personal setting. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate products, answer questions, and build relationships, which can lead to increased sales and future bookings.

Are there any drawbacks to hosting my own party as a Consultant?

One potential drawback is the time and effort required to organize and promote your own party. It can be challenging to balance hosting with your responsibilities as a Consultant. Additionally, if the party does not attract many guests, you may not achieve the desired sales or rewards. However, with proper planning and marketing, these challenges can often be mitigated.
