I'm bursting about the news released from corporate during Spring Fling
yesterday evening.
ONLINE CUSTOMER ORDERING! It's finally official! It's starting April first.
I can not stop grinning about this, and how drastically it will widen the
spectrum of opportunity both for recruitment and for those who focus on
the retail aspect of the business or wish to build an internet based retail
business. WOOHOOO!
Other excitment includes the option of DIRECT DEPOSIT, so no waiting for
checks in the mail, gorgeous product catalogs for those who do home
parties and other retail endeavors, and some fabulous new products like
MIA MELTS!
I won't give out all of the secrets- and you will have to wait until April to
learn what the AMAZING new candle of the month scent will be (YUM!!!)
But WOW- if I wasn't already impressed before... I am PSYCHED and
pumped up now!smileys/smiley4.gif
I have to say that the end of a loooong winter is a fantastic time for a
company conference and to roll out new products. HOORAY!

It's a very common dance in this household- I get happy about Mia Bella a

That's great. But didn't they do away with forcing reps to buy the COTM? That's a deterent. I'm sure recruiting would be even more phenominal when a potential doesn't have to pay $39.00/month to participate in the rep program.
But, truly not to rain on the great new news for you! Good luck with their changes; happy recruiting & selling! smileys/smiley17.gif

Hrm.
No one is "forced" to buy the COTM. It's one of two options for becoming
a wholesale distributor. COTM, which includes the small monthly
autoship and the website, and ASSOCIATE, which has no autoship, no fee
or min. purchase requirements, but website is not included and has to be
purchased separately if you want it. It's up to you- there are so many
ways you can build your business. Online! Offline! Retail! Fundraisers!
Residual Income!
Actually, when looking at options for MLM wholesale distribution/
franchise businesses, $39.95 is pretty much one of the least expensive
options out there.
I think COTM is ingenious- a monthly supply of materials that retail for
$60 plus web hosting, a very extensive and professional website, (soon
with shopping cart and direct deposit!) the company sponsored weekly
candle drawing contest.... And candles that I can use as gifts and/or use
myself that become tax deductions if I do not retail them or use them as
business tools. What a DREAM for a candle lover! smileys/smiley2.gif
Yep- still doing the Mia Bella happy dance jig around my Jar Candle over
here.. And the flavor of the hour is... Butter Cream!smileys/smiley36.gif

I signed up two years ago, got the COTM, and after giving some as gifts, I honestly have some jars I haven't given away or burned. I wasn't a rep for long since I was tired of spending the money & not having at least an assortment of scents in the COTM to make a display, etc. for shows & parties.
But that's me. I know some others who've said they didn't like the program, but hey, then we don't have to join, right?smileys/smiley1.gif
I'm happy for you; you have your passion in your business & that is great! Best of luck to you! Keep on dancing!smileys/smiley17.gif

I've been "working" with Mia Bella successfully for over two years!
I got out of Corporate America THANK GOODNESS, working as an attorney in my own law firm.
I have the honor of working with Kitt in this scent-sational company.
I have been watching this company create a steady growth path. It's been quite a wonderful experience being involved withMia Bella and all of the most incredible women who have joined us.
It's amazing to be able to seriously create personal and financial freedom and help others do so!
I hope you are able to do the same.smileys/smiley2.gif
WOW!!

PS I and so many others think the Mia Bella Candle of the Month Club is ingenious and so much fun to receive every month!! Next month is Chili Vanilli!!! A blend of the best selling scent SweetOrange and Chili Pepper and French Vanilla mmmmmmmmmm

Yes, I have to agree! This company is the Bomb! And I researched MANY companies before I made the decision to join. This company is young and headed to the top!! Oh, And I'll be there too! smileys/smiley2.gif
But isn't it great that there is so many different ones now than a few years ago so that there is something for Everyone? I love Direct Sales! smileys/smiley36.gif

Yikes! I hope they never do away with the Customer of the Month Club!!! I love it! It's honestly my fav part of the company. I love getting the new scents delivered to my door once a month!!
I actually joined just to be a customer, but I’m seeing how easy it is to build a business with this company and the wonderful products! smileys/smiley32.gif
And like Kitt said no one has to join the COTM, they can join for free, and still make agood commissionsmileys/smiley1.gif

Yup, thanks, I am. That's what direct sales is all about! No matter which company works for the individual. smileys/smiley2.gifAs long as you believe in your product, and work the system in place, everyone can be successful. It takes drive & work nomatter what company you belong to.
Glad this works for you & the others. Wasn't trying to be negative. Just wanted to see if they had changed the COTM with all the other changes, that's all.
Good luck!smileys/smiley1.gif

I'm so glad to see Mia Bella have online ordering for their customers. I think it's so important in today's retail world to have an internet prescence that involves online ordering. That was one of the main reasons I joined Bittersweet Candle Company. They have online ordering.
Will Mia Bella be drop shipping to the customers that order online or will you be fullfilling those orders through your own inventory still?

Drop shipping, of course! Customers will be able to visit their Mia Bella
distributor's website and place an order for whatever they wish (jar, bella
bar, etc.) and have it shipped to their door step. --It will be a fully
automated system, so the distributor will not have to do anything- the
computer system and the factory will take care of it all. 100% automated
online retail business. Yay!

Now that is awesome. Plus it helps with you not having to order a full case of candles to fullfill an order for one jar in a scent you don't have on hand. smileys/smiley4.gif I know that was a deterrant for some people.
Very good news for you ladies ( and maybe some gents).

Also, I am a kitt kid and let me tell you, I had a commission question and the CEO/OWNER called me personally....when does that happen? One of my recruits was sitting right there (she is my assistant) and she said, who was that? When i told her she said WOW! Who does that? The company has heart lemme tell ya! One thing to keep in mind too, is if there are recruits under you...just a couple will pay for your candle. It is INGENIOUS!! WHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
