smileys/smiley1.gifHi... I am looking into different types of direct sales companies that I am interested in, and I am going to be picking one soon. I have a fewquestions for the candle reps from different candle companies. My questionsare
"After you become a rep. what is the cost of the brochures, cataloges and other sales materials that we all need to advertise our business?"
"Do Reps get their own website for free or do you have to pay a fee for it?"
"What is the start up cost?"
"What type of training and support groups do you all have?"
I am hoping to hear back from all the different candle companies, and I am going to be making my decision very soon... I am excited about getting started with a direct sales company of some kind. Thank you...

Good luck in your decision Tonia!
And- if anyone else was interested in the answers- For White Lily-
"After you become a rep. what is the cost of the brochures, cataloges and other sales materials that we all need to advertise our business?" You can download and print everything for free- or order from HQ.
"Do Reps get their own website for free or do you have to pay a fee for it?" First month is free, $5 after that
"What is the start up cost?" Kits vary in price of $40 to $105. Each comes with a very generous array of samples!
"What type of training and support groups do you all have?" One on one support from your sponsor, as well as your team leader, meetings (online), a message board where you can get help from anyone on our team, as well as one on one contact with the owner! YOu can reach someone with a question pretty much anytime!
HTH!
