Thank you,

I meant to put this under WAHMS in Party Plans!!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif


Is there anyway to transfer it, or do I have to rewrite it all? (LOL)


Sandra

You could try emailing Cheryl to let her know or I would probably just copy and paste the email into another post on the party plan forum.

Copy and paste.


Copy what's here, go to the board you meant to be on and paste it there.


Give it a try. If you need help just yell.

Hey Sandra!

1. What is the name of your company? White Lily
What items do you sell? All natural candles (soy wax and veggie wax) and body products for all ages


2. What is the start up cost and what's included? $40-$105, Through the end of January we have a special $20 kit. Kit contents can be seen here: www.WhiteLilyProducts.com/consultantinfo.shtml (http://www.WhiteLilyProducts.com/consultantinfo.shtml) - all kits include a variety of products and some of our most popular scents. OR you can choose the scents with the largest kit.


3. What is the commission? 25% base commission, up to 6% downline commission, personal discount 25-40% on products (new productsat 35% and cash & carry up to 40%)


4. Is there a monthly minimum purchase requirement and if so, how much? There are no minimums for consultants. If you wish to build a team, you will be required to meet $50-$100 personal sales minimums in order to receive your downline commission


5. Does the company submit the state sales tax? At this time, consultants are responsible for their own tax. By the spring the company should have a program in place to take care of it for consultants if they choose.


6.What is the company return policy? If an item arrives broken or damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. All concerns or problems will be addressed on a case by case basis to make sure the customer is happy, but returns are not generally accepted just because someone doesn't like the fragrance they ordered. All of the products are custom made for the customer who placed the order, so problems are taken very seriously.


7. Are you required to cover part of the Hostess Gifts or pay admin fees, etc.? The hostess program is company sponsored. I know that I like to give a little Thank You Gift in addition to the company hostess gifts:


Our hostess program:
<UL>
<LI>15% of your sales in FREE hostess dollars to be used on any of our merchandise.
<LI>For every $150.00 in sales, you will receive an item at 1/2 price.
<LI>$10.00 FREE booking dollars for every booking dated and held from your gathering.
<LI>Absolutely FREE shipping!
<LI>The opportunity to receive FREE Thank You gifts. </LI>[/list]


8.What are the customers shipping charges? Orders placed online are charged actual UPS shipping (usually $7-$9 I have found). Party orders it is calculated on a sliding scale based on the order amount. ($2+)


9. What do catalogs and paperwork cost? You will have access to a .pdf version of the catalog, or you can order professionally printed catalogs from the company for approximately $1 each.


10. Can an order be shipped directly to a customer? YES! We offer drop shipping for all orders, unless it is a party order being shipped directly to the hostess (and even then a customer can choose to have the item drop shipped directly to their home/business)!


11. Is there a monthly/quarterly sales requirement to stay active? No sales requirements to meet - you place orders when you want.


12. Does the company provide a website and if so, What is the cost?Yes - $5/month (first month free with your kit) OR you can build your own.
Also, does it have online ordering for customers? Yes


13. Other then Home Parties, what other ways can you sell for your
company? ( Catalog Parties, Person to Person, Fundraisers,
Internet, Online Parties, etc.)? Any way you want, with the exception of Ebay. You can hold in home parties, catalog parties, individual orders, fundraisers, online sales/parties, consignment to boutiques/retail stores, flea markets/craft fairs - really whatever you want!


14. Can you Rep for other companies? Yes, there is no restriction for repping for other companies.
