Q. Why this company? What's unique about the product?

A. Our Company's Gourmet Soy Candles offers a very different approach to a home based business. There are three very distinct ways to earn a very lucrative income - retail, fundraisers and building a downline team. You will learn how to combine all three for maximum profits. The product line is unique and growing. We currently offer our Gourmet, Scented Candles in jars and votives, as well as a Gourmet Bath and Body Line, a "soy soap alternative." This is a product and a business that appeals to men and women, young and old - virtually everyone!

Q. What if I am in another program, should I quit and join you?

A. That really depends on your situation. If you're happy with the results you are getting and your upline leadership, then stay where you are and we wish you the best. Or, if your current business isn't taking off the way you'd expected, then we can talk about you joining our team to see if it's a fit for you. I have found that this is a business that complements other programs.

Q. How much will it cost me to get started?

A. Bare minimum, $39.95 to get started and each month after, plus shipping. That satisfies your monthly commitment and gives you one 16 oz jar, one dozen votives and one Gourmet Bar, plus a personalized company website.

It is possible to start at the COTM level and your cost will be $39.95...
but we have something NEW that our distributors are going wild for!

To REALLY be successful, here is what I recommend:  If you are serious about building a successful business sign up for Candle of the Month and order our Fast Start Pack, with everything you will need to successfully launch your business and put cash in your pocket from day one! The more you know, the more you can present. And, this is a smell and sell business. Simply opening up the lids will produce sales for you.
Your cost for the Fast Start Pack - $399.90.  You save $138.70 by ordering the Fast Start Pack vs. purchasing individually. Retail Value - $644.25! The best part is that you have built in gifts for people should you desire.
You'll find these and other options available on the sign up page.

Q. How much money can I make?

A. That depends on you entirely. Some have made $2000 in the first month. How? By following our exact system and retailing the product, having a few parties and sponsoring others into the business. We can customize a business plan that works for you and your situation. My belief is that in the next few years, especially as new products come out and as people become more and more aware of the dangers associated with "traditional" candles, you will see many six figure income earners in our business. Will you be one of them?

Q. How soon will I make money?

A. Again, that depends on you. Many people make money their very first day by just calling a few friends and letting them simply smell the candles. This is where your sampler bag, which comes in the Fast Start Pack is SO important. If you are coachable, we will work together to help you retail, set up a few fundraisers and begin to sponsor others your very first month.
The question really is "How much do you want to make your first month?"

One important key to remember is that there is no such thing as “get rich quick” and that building a solid, consistently performing business takes time. How long really depends on your commitment level and getting your name known.

Q. How do I get started?

A. First, be sure you are committed to wanting more in your life and working with a team committed to getting more! Then, complete the signup form here. Make sure you get started with our Fast Start Pack so you can make money from day one and have everything you need to get started. At very least order the Candle of the Month AND at least one sampler case. Don't forget about brochures, postcards and door hangers. Then, the real fun begins. We will get you started with "Your Roadmap to Success", our team phase 1 training packet. And, our partnership will be launched.

Q. How do I build my business?

A. We have a system that will work for anyone - the part timer, full timer, those who love to recruit others and those who don't. The key to building your business is to find what works best for you, put your nose to the grindstone and focus forward. Our training will teach you how to find what will work for you. We know that focusing on all three areas creates maximum profits. Retail the candles, set up and monitor fundraisers and recruit others to the team. Retailing and fundraising efforts almost always produce interested prospects who will want to join the team and do the same thing. Retailing can be done through - friends, family, open houses, home parties, retail stores, craft shows and boutiques, county fairs and street fairs, business expos, while out and about, etc. Fundraisers - sports teams, school PTA's/PTO's, church groups, youth groups, dance studios, non profit organizations, school bands, boy/girl scouts, etc. Sponsoring Others - this is our team specialty, and my personal passion. We will teach you how to sponsor people that come to you and are ready to start a business.

Q. How can I find leads?

A. People who will be interested in your business are everywhere. And, I prefer to work only with people who are interested and come to me. I believe that a big reason that many people are not successful in Network Marketing is because they aren't talking to the right people. Working with leads and people that find me online is a much more desirable way to do business. And, our team has a great advertising coop.

Q. Is there coaching available to learn how to build my business online?

A. YES! That is a team passion, and what we know is that for you to be successful online, you must complete phase 1 first, which consists of working with leads, and our other aspects of building the business. This is to ensure your success. Successfully building a business online really requires a personal website to be truly successful, which is available through our team. Contact me for details.

Q. What if I only have 5 - 10 hours a week to work my business?

A. It's not quantity of time that matters, it's quality of time. Reading email, reading books and studying the website can seem like business time, but it won't produce one red cent for you. So, as long as you are willing to make that 5-10 hours productive time, you can have a successful business. And, I'll teach you how to do that!

Q. I don't want to talk to people I know, can I still be successful with this business?

A. Yes, you can. Although I encourage you to at least let your friends, family and others know about your new business and let them smell the candles. You do not have to tell them about the business side, or even ask them to buy anything. Simply tell them what you are doing and ask if they have any ideas. Personally, I share the products with my friends and family, but only talk to them about the business if they come to me and ask.

Q. My spouse does not support me, can I still build a successful business?

A. Yes, in most cases. If your spouse is adamantly opposed to your business, you may want to really think things out. However, if your spouse is just skeptical, and does not want any personal involvement, that's okay. It will be important that you make good use of your available time and resources and keep your "why" for doing this business planted firmly in front of you. Speak to your spouse and simply ask him/her to please support you to the extent that he/she respects your decision, does not belittle you, and set up some guidelines that you are both comfortable with for business hours, etc. And, then make sure you respect these guidelines. Make it a point to earn a profit as quickly as possible and keep it growing. This usually changes the spouse from skeptical to okay, to down right excited.

Q. I have been in MLM before and have not had success. Why will this program work for me?

A. I can't promise you that it will work for you, but I do know about the commitment I will make to you. First, what reasons do you believe were the cause of your previous lack of success? What will you do differently? How committed are you to achieving what you say you want? Are you coachable? Are you willing to work closely with me and follow a system for success? If you get clear on what you do want, let go of the past, and focus forward, your past will not dictate your future.

Q. I have small children, can I still build a business?

A. My Upline's son was 18 months when she started her business in January, 1994, and her daughter was born in May, 1995. You do the math. Can you build your business with small children? ABSOLUTELY! Today, her babies help her in her business and I know they have a ball! Her son recently wrote a report at school about how proud he is of his mom and her business. She shares that was worth more to her than any paycheck. Use your children to empower you in your business, not as an excuse not to build a business.
