Hello Ladies,
My name is Karina and I'm a stay at home mom, I have a 2yr old boy and I am interested in selling products. Truth is I have never really sold anything from my own home smileys/smiley9.gif .
But I really want to help my husband with an extra income, so I just wanted to know if anyone can give me any info about how you guys sell these candles. I love candles myself so I know I can sell something that I like. I already ordered the info brochure of the website but knowing from you guys would be a little more helpful.
Thanks

Hi Adriel,
Mia bella candles are awsome. My girls ages 9 and 6 love telling people that mommies candles don't have black stuff in them. That gets people questioning our candles then. When I show our candles that have been burned half way and let people know that the jar hasn't been cleaned gets you sales too. You will love getting these candles in front of people. They really do sell themselves.

Hello Karina
Just wanted to say Hello and tell you that I can totally relate to you wanting to help your husband out with extra income. And I can honestly say that you are on the right track, I have an 18 month old daughter which stays at home with me, and she absolutely LOVES the candles. I think she sells more of them then I dowhen we are out and about or even when someone would stopby when I first started with the company. Josalynnevenhad to have her own Bella Bun when I first received myorder of Bella Buns, and to this day she still will walk around the house with it...the whole time smelling it and saying YUM!
This really is a great family business...Even my Husband gets involved in helping out.
Most importantly you need to find someonethat you feel comfortable working and talking with. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
I wish you the Best of Luck in your venture...

Hi Karina!
Mia Bella is a WONDERFUL opportunity for a business that your whole
family can get involved in! This company and my home business have
really changed my life- I love my job, and have more time to spend with
my family and my hobbies now!
I posted this in another thread, but will repost here for your consideration
also. Please feel free to ask any of us for help in answering these
questions to help you make an informed decision.
While trying to decide if this may be the right choice for you, here are
some things to ask yourself first, then your potential sponsor as you
interview some of us!
1. There are 3 ways to make money with our company. Retail,
Fundraising, and Residual Income. Which one(s) will you focus on with
your business- which are right for you? If it is retailing, which ways?
Home parties, Office parties, Craft shows, consignment in boutiques and
spas, etc?If you plan to sponsor and build a team, what methods will
you use? Online? Recruiting your warm market? Purchasing leads? Etc.
2. What are your most important needs and requirements of your
Sponsor? What are your expectations from the Ideal Sponsor, and what
type of commitment are you looking for?
3. What resources are you looking for to get you started? How much
money do you have to invest in startup, and how can you maximize
success with the amount you have to invest so you can grow your
business and create profits quickly?
4. How much time do you have to commit to your new business? How
much of that time do you want to work with your sponsor? What amount
of support/time does your Sponsor have for you, and will (s)he help you
put together a business plan to maximize the amount of time you have
to put into your business each week?
Answering these questions and making it clear what you want in a new
business will help you to make the most informed, best choice both in
whether this is the right opportunity for you, and in choosing a business
partner who will be the best possible Sponsor and coach.
Good luck, and keep those questions coming!
In all you do... CHOOSE Success!

Hey Bob! Yes Tallahassee is still FABULOUS! I just love it here, you have the city "appearance" downtown, and the rest so spread out, and so beautiful with all the trees. You would probably be surprised - in the9 years I've lived here, the city has grown immensely if you can believe that.
Gordo's - I've heard about that place, never have been myself. Cuban food, correct?

I left in 1997, and have only been back in 1999. I always tell everyone about the phallic state capitol. I worked at the Department of Ed there throughout school, and lived on Pensacola St., SW of the stadium, which is where Gordo's is. Yes, Cuban. Delicious.
I'll have to visit again sometime when my empires have built my 3-month vacation. ;)

ooooh yes the capital building. For those of you that don't know.... just picture this...
You are driving down Apalachee Parkway which heads literally straight into the capital building. Behind the "old southern style" building, there's this very TALL "skyscraper" kind of building, and to the left - is a dome-topped building, and to the right is a dome-topped building. Hence, the phallic capital :)
Ahhhh here's a picture

it's especially great from that angle, when you are flying into the airport. If this isn't the biggest sign of male ego in government, I don't know what is. ;)
