Independent Distributors purchase products at wholesale and sell at retail. You are not required to have an inventory, however you may. To remain an active Distributor you must have $10 in sales quarterly. These sales can be combined retail and wholesale.

Quarterly sales bonuses are based on wholesale totals and are as follows:

Wholesale totals of $1500-$2500 receive a 10% bonus
Wholesale totals of $2501-$3500receive a 15% bonus
Wholesale totals of $3501+ receive a 20% bonus


When an Independent Distributor recruits another Independent Distributor they are considered Leadership and will have the opportunity to earn over-rides on the wholesale totals (monthly) of their downline. In order to qualify for downline over-rides the Leadership Distributor will be required to submit Combined Sales with a minimum of $10 per month in product. This can be combined wholesale, retail, and drop shipped. Should the Leadership Distributor fail to meet sales quotas they will forfeit the over-ride commissions earned for that month. They will not lose their downline. Downlines will only be lost should the distributor become inactive. Should the Leadership Distributor become inactive the downline will be moved to the Leadership Distributor’s direct Upline
Over-rides for qualifying Leadership Distributors are as follows:

First Line Recruit 5%
Second Lind Recruit 3%
Third Line Recruit 1%
Each Independent Distributor may have their own website to sell our products, which must state the company's name and Distributor's ID number. Or they may have their own company site. There is a $20 set up fee and costs $7.50 per month (auto-billed through Pay Pal Subscription.) The company will receive the orders and ship them out. Distributors with a company website will receive notice of orders placed on their site. Distributors may also purchase a CakeLink from home office to place on their personal websites. A CakeLink will direct the customer to the main ordering page of the GCC, however, is embedded with information giving the distributor credit for the sale. When a sale is completed using a CakeLink the Distributor will also receive notice of the sale and commission at the end of the month.
Set up for a CakeLink is $10 and a $5 monthly charge (billed via Pay Pal Subscription.) The Distributor will receive the commission on the sale at the end of each month.

You can order both, this way you have the paperwork. I only ordered the BASIC KIT, I made my own flyers. If you can make your own, that can save you some money.


We make about 45% on each cake sold.

You can market the cakes to Banquet Halls for wedding favors, Anniversary favors, Hospital Gift Shops, Hotel Gift Shops, Relators, Birth Announcements, ect.

how long have you been in this company? how much money do you make ?

I've been with GCC for 4 years.
It depends on how much I market my business each month. Some months I do great if I get a wedding or birthday.

How do you sell to gift shops and banquet halls if reps are not to sell to retail? Or am I wrong?

You can sell retail:Independent Distributors purchase products at wholesale and sell at retail.


OR---you get them to sign up as a distributor under you.....Edited by: Mothermomtotwo

Your quote from GCC means buy at wholesale PRICE and sell at retail PRICE is my understanding. I thought there were tax issues, and that is why we couldn't sell to retail outlets.Edited by: Zannie

I buy cakes wholesale, I am a distributor,, I have an event, I sell them retail. I am not sure what you mean.

Maybe you need to ask Bernadette again.



This is taken directly off the website:

Independent Distributors purchase products at wholesale and sell at retail.

Oh, I see, you now added 'retail outlets' I am not sure of that? Maybe you would need to get them to sign up as a distributor under you if you wanted to make $$ off them.
