I was thinking of going to a few businesses (Curves is one that is always selling avon and gold canyon candles) ...so I plan to go there, and I will suggest that the person in charge could co-host, and we could offer 1/2 of the benefits to one mystery customer... we'll see how that goes! Good luck. I would also try the leave of absence....that is why they have such a thing!

True no fees. But you loose the total career sales you have accumulated, and when you reach $15,000 you get an additional 2% commission. Plus if you have recruited anyone,those recruits would no longer be under you, they'd go under your director...
The only time you'd have to pay again, is if you were inactive for a year.
To stay active...we only have to turn in $200 every other month.
Hope this helps!
