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.
