8 Frequently Asked Questions .  

 


1. How do I earn income?

You will earn most of your income by having Girls’ Nite Out (GNO) parties. You will schedule GNO’s with Hosts and typically have the party in your Host’s home. You take home between 25% and 40% of your sales. The well planned GNO should average $350 or more in sales and includes sales your Host collects before the night of her GNO.

You will hold your first four to six GNOs with your close friends and family. With eight to ten guests per party, you can work to schedule two additional GNO’s at each party and keep your business growing. As you develop more and more customers you will also have a base of customers to collect reorders from.  

 


2. How do I earn up to 40% commission?  

With Monthly Personal Sales Volume (PSV) up to $1,399 you earn 25% commission.
(Host purchases are not commissionable sales and are not included in your PSV total.)


When your Monthly Personal Sales exceed $1,400 a 5% bonus (or a total of 30%) is applied to that month’s total commissionable sales.

When your Monthly Personal Sales exceed $2,800 a 10% bonus (or a total of 35%) is applied to that month’s total commissionable sales.

When your Monthly Personal Sales exceed $4,200 a 15% bonus (or a total of 40%) is applied to that month’s total commissionable sales.
