In
addition to questions about me and my team, recently I have also been
asked a lot questions about the requirements of being a Close to my
Heart Consultant and why someone should sign up. If you’d like to know a
little more about me and my team, feel free to check out my post here.
If
you’d like to know why you should sign up to become a CTMH Consultant,
hopefully this post will clarify some of your questions.
- How much does the New Consultant Kit cost?
The regular price is $99 (plus tax and shipping).
- What comes in the New Consultant Kit?
You get a ton of great products valued at over $280 and the option to choose different Add-On kits that you can see here.
Plus if you sign up in October 2011, you get to choose one of the
Add-On Options for FREE! (That’s a value of over $400 depending on which
option you choose!) - What’s the catch?
Other
than getting a ton of wonderful products at a great deal and most
likely getting addicted to them, there is no catch. You have the
opportunity to build a business if you choose, but you don’t have to. - What if I don’t want to build a business and I just want to get the discount for myself on future orders?
That’s
great! A majority of Consultants are Hobbyists or Personal Use
Consultants and do not do parties or hold classes or workshops. You are
welcome to simply enjoy the discount on your own orders. - What is the discount?
Active
Consultants enjoy a discount of 22%-35% depending on their sales for
the month in addition to earning up to $75 in FREE product credit each
month. Senior Directors and above
also earn an additional 5% – 15% of personal override commission ON TOP
of the regular commission and free product credit! Your earning potential is unlimited! - What are the sales requirements?
The sales requirement is $300 retail (before your discount) to stay a full Consultant. - What if I don’t place $300 in a quarter or place any orders at all?
Once
you sign up, you have a full quarter to make your sales minimum which
means that you have until the end of March to enjoy the full discount
if you choose. Then if you do not have $300 in orders, you will drop to
Junior Consultant status on April 1st. As a Junior Consultant your
discount drops to 10% but you only need to have $100 in orders per
quarter. If you do not have $100 in that quarter, you simply drop and
are no longer a Consultant. But if you happen to have $300 as a Junior,
you automatically jump back up to full status! - How long will I be a Consultant if I order the kit and then do nothing?
You
will be active until March 31st. Then you will drop to Junior on April
1st . Then as of July 1st, you will no longer be considered a
Consultant. But our new catalog comes out in August (July for
Consultants) and you may just be surprised at all ofthe great new
products and will probably be VERY excited that you are a Consultant
and are able to order the new products at a discount. So chances are
you will not drop! LOL! - Do I need to give the Kit back if I drop?
Nope. Everything is yours to keep! No strings attached. - Are you required to maintain an inventory?
Nope.
There are so many different products that CTMH actually suggests that
you do not maintain an inventory. You can place an order for 1 item or
1000 items, so there is really no need to keep an inventory. - Does the company offer Hostess gifts? If so, who pays for them?
Yes! CTMH pays for the hostess rewards. And as a Consultant, you are welcome to be your own Hostess and earn more free goodies! - Does CTMH offer any training or events?
Ummm….a
great big YES! There are so many different training options available
including an entire Online Training Academy where you can take free
online creative, business, and personal development classes. You can
even earn your CTMH Bachelors, Masters, and PhD degrees! There is an
entire listening library of recorded conference calls, bulletin boards
for artwork, business, templates, Studio J, Swaps, Mentoring, and more.
They have pre-designed projects and workshops for us to use. There are
annual events such as Leadershare and Convention. There is even an 800#
that you can call if you have questions. And a ton more! You will
never be without help. - How do you sign up?
You can sign up at my website here.
It will only take you about 5 minutes. The hardest part will be
choosing which Add-Ons you want with your kit! But not to fear. You can
always choose them all at only $40 each. But remember, you get to choose
one for FREE if you sign up in October. - How long will it take to receive my kit?
They
have been shipping them out very quickly. I had a gal sign up on
Monday and she got her kit today! That’s only 3 days from the time she
signed up until it showed up on her doorstep! But it will depend on
where you live. - Can I contact you if I have questions after I sign up?
Of
course. I am available to my team via phone, email, Facebook, and
Twitter. I am more than happy to help you get started building a
business, or just encourage you if you would simply like to be a
Personal Use Consultant .
Whatever your reason for signing up, there really is no risk! You have nothing to lose! Plus with the free Add-On Option this month, this is the best time to do it!
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. I’d be more than happy to chat with you.
Or if you are ready to sign up now, you can find the online application here.
more great reason to join the Close to my Heart family is that you will
make some wonderful friends! This is a photo of me with my two sweet
friends Christine and Melissa from our Convention last year. These are
two wonderful women that I would never have been blessed to meet if it
weren’t for Close to my Heart! It’s more than just a stamping and
scrapbooking company. It is a family! *Ü*
