I don't have any recruits or anything. I'm sure id make more if I did but, still decent side money! For hanging out and playing. I genuinely think it depends on the company - look into joining costs, fees, sales minimums etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755924 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:22:35 +0000 DillonLion 1755924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like others have said, if you're passionate about recruiting, go for it. Sales are not where anyone makes money. The success is found in how many others you get to join to company selling under you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755918 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:14:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1755918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: oh I do love pampered chef! I had a post-wedding pampered chef party to get tons of stuff off my registry :) when my BFF gets engaged, I'm going to throw her a pampered chef bridal shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755907 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:08:18 +0000 MrsRcCar 1755907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a consultant for pampered chef. I like it, plus it sells itself. (At least in my circles. Lol. ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755900 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:05:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 1755900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do Discovery Toys! I've obviously been way too sick to do much the last few months but it's pretty easy and straightforward. Not hard whatsoever and I don't harass<br /> Anyone. I *would* caution you to not join a company with selling Minimums. Even if it seems doable I would imagine it's a little anxiety provoking if you wanna take time off, can't get parties, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755899 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:05:30 +0000 Ginabean3 1755899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never done it and have no desire to. I know people who do and I have to hide them on my FB feed. Personally, I don't don't how many tote bags a person really needs...even though some of the designs are cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755892 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1755892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've known a lot of people who have done them, and I do like some of the companies (31, arbonne, melaleuca) but the majority of the time the people selling them come across as really pushy, bordering on intrusive and it's a huge turn off. Some do it really well from both a social and business perspective! But I think it's a lot harder than all these consultants make it out to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755885 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:59:07 +0000 BananaPancakes 1755885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: That's my take, too. Half the females I went to high school with sell rodan + fields and they all constantly hound me to join under them. I think you really have to have no shame and to be a good hustler to make money that's worth it, but I know one has paid off her dental school loans within 2 years, and another quit her job as did her husband because they made so much more money than they were. I don't have that sort of personality, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755878 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:56:41 +0000 Happygal 1755878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know women doing well with Stella &amp; dot and Arbonne! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755857 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:40:39 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1755857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I havent, but from what I have heard to be successful you have to go into it knowing that your job isn't selling products, it is recruiting and training other sellers who will recruit and train. I've also heard it's difficult to make any real money doing it part time and that you have to be really committed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755841 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:24:16 +0000 Boheme 1755841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but I do like 31 stuff :) Their totes and beach bags are awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755831 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:14:39 +0000 photojane 1755831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done it, but I am definitely a supporter. I feel like, if that's your hustle, then get at it. We shouldn't be discouraging one another. I just don't have the drive to go out and market myself like you have to do with those things. A good friend of my mom's sells Thirty One &amp; it produces some nice side income for her. I have a couple of Thirty One totes and stuff, and I really like them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755827 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:13:56 +0000 Dapple Grey 1755827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure she benefits from you joining soooo..take it with a grain of salt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755820 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:10:20 +0000 Boogs 1755820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done it, being a salesperson is so not my forte. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755818 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:07:44 +0000 night cheese 1755818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done it but I do hide or unfriend anyone who pimps their MLM businesses on Facebook. The whole thing is just not for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-consultant-for-anything#post-1755797 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 17:59:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 1755797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like for Mary Kay, or Thirty-One or something like that? </p> <p>I went to a Thirty-One party today, and the consultant called me a bit ago to ask if I'd ever consider being a consultant. She said she thought I had the right presence and personality for it, and she knew that she'd kick herself if she didn't at least call me. </p> <p>It's nothing I ever really thought about? I know several women I work with are Mary Kay consultants (mostly through just catalogs). I always sort of thought working those sorts of places was sorta pyramid-schemey though?</p> <p>Has anyone done it? Recommend it? Want to tell me to never answer her calls again, lol? </p>
