Hi Ladies,


I am interested in learning more about the mia bella candle opportunities and would appreciate any information you can give me. I must admit that I am a little unsure of the different programs and what is required to get started as well as if there are supplies or kits you can get from the company.


My husband and I are considering doing some craft and flea market sales as well as catalog sales to friends and family. I'm just not sure what options we have with mia bella and the costs to start. If anyone can explain the different programs that would be great. We have also thought of approaching groups for fundraising opts as well but again I just do not know enough about this.


Thanks for any help and infosmileys/smiley1.gif

All of us will tell you, our Mia Bella business is WONDERFUL. LOL!
I can honestly say I've found my Dream Job, and it's made me a much
happier person and a better Mom, too!

You can read about all of our successes and our love for the company,
but I am sure you will hear the same across the board when talking to
anyone about their business, whether it's candles or any other
opportunity out there.

Of course, I WHOLLY BELIEVE there is nothing out there that beats Mia
Bella, but that's because it is the best opportunity for me, and meets all
my needs.

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?

For all companies, be sure to compare- quotas, commission % on
downline, how many levels deep your dowline goes, if there are minimum
sales requirements you must meet to earn commission on your downline
each month, and any possible hidden costs (catalogs? supplies? etc.)

Also, what are your freedoms and limitations for marketing with each
company. Online? Offline? In retail shops? Fundraiser programs?

How much support will you receive from the company and your Sponsor?
Regular ongoing training? Duplicable materials to use in your business
and pass on to your team?

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.

Best of luck in your search for the perfect home business opp for your
needs.

In all you do... CHOOSE Success!

Thanks everyone for all the quick responses! From what I can tell(still have to read all my pm messages) it looks like the best way to go is candle of the month and purchase some cases of candles for the shows. I am currently doing research to locate all the shows for our area as well as local school flea market events.


We hope to be able to start this within the month.


Thanks againsmileys/smiley1.gifEveryone at wahm is great!
