Lots of party plans?

[Charlene1]

Was just wondering if any party planners do 2 or more "companies" at the same party eg if you do Bodyshop/Avon/Phoenix/Tupperware/Usborne etc. 1. If you become a consultant for a company but you struggle with sales, is it possible to "work for" loads of different companies and combine complementary ones to demonstrate at a party, depending on who it's for?

1. Are you legally allowed to work for loads of companies like that?
2. How would it affect tax credits and benefits etc if you did that - would you tell them every time you made a sale/weekly/mthly/yearly?

Just thinking if I ever did it, I would prefer to do this to make sure I had more chance of getting an income. Some local Kleeneze people do Betterware as well which is a competitor, some combine it with Avon, so they only deliver/pick up once etc. which seems more efficient.
People used to come and set up tables at playgroup and get ignored if they were selling a narrow range/high priced stuff, whereas people with a varied range got loads of orders e.g toys AND books AND clothes etc.

bump!

Hi, I sell for Usborne, if you want info let me know. I know some people have been introuble in teh past as they ahve sold two things at one event and the company feel that you are sharing your recruiting power. However, if you were to do them seperately, or drop flyers then I suspect taht would rid them of their worries!

I worked for Virgin Vie for 3 years. I think doing more than I brand would get confusing and would affect your sales. If people can buy just a cheapest item, the often will out of politeness. Also commission levels increase according to the volume you sell with most companies, so you may earn more by dedicating yourself to one company. I loved Virgin and would recommend it to anyone, as long as you are not looking for a guaranteed, regular income. Great for pocket money. Think their commission was between 25 and 34% hth love!

I do Usborne and you are not actually allowed to sell anything else along side the books

Of course, you could think "who would know"!!!!

Hiya,

I have a Mini IQ team and would tend to agree with what other comments have been put on here - stick to one company and DO IT WELL!
(The pay's better that way)

If you're worried about the old "not putting all your eggs into one basket" scenario pick a company with a diverse range of products to maximise on all opportunities. Mini IQ source products from all over the world, use many different suppliers and publishers and our range is carefully selected for it's high parent appeal.

PS If you'd like to know more about Mini IQ (Fun and interactive Books, Toys, Games and online educational product from babies to teens) drop me an email [email protected]
