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

A. Our Gourmet Soy Candle Business 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 team (or downline). I will teach you how to combine all three for maximum profits. The product line is unique and growing. We currently offer Gourmet Candles in jars and votives, pillars as well as Gourmet Bath and Body Bars, or soy-based soap. This is a product and a business that appeals to men and women, young and old - virtually everyone!

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

A. Bare minimum - join the Candle of the Month Program for $39.95 a month (plus shipping and sales tax). That gives you a 16 oz. soy/veg jar candle, a dozen soy/veg votives, a Bath and Body Bar plus a personalized distributor website. So that's all that's required. However, if you want to have all the tools to get started immediately then I recommend the Fast Start Pack. See the next question for everything you get in the Fast Start Pack.

Q.  What's the best way to get started?

A. With our Fast Start Pack. If you're serious about building a successful business and putting money in your pocket right away, then sign up for the Candle of The Month Program (see Question #2) and order our Fast Start Pack. Here's everything you get: Scent Sample Bag with up to 80 1/2 oz. sample scents; a case of 12 of our top selling jar candles; one dozen votives; 6 Body Bars; 7 Body Wash Tubes; 6 Hand Washes; 12 Car Air Fresheners; 60 Body Wash Samples, 100 brochures and one of our beautiful logo pins. All of this is only $399 (plus tax and shipping) with a retail value of almost $500. We have other options in between. Just call or email me and we'll discuss what will work best for you.

Q.  I'm considering making my own candles. Why would I want to join you?

A. There are many good businesses and you need to choose what fits you best. Here some thoughts. Our customers say our candles are the best-smelling candles they've ever had. Our team is supportive and shares tips and ideas. Our team leaders are successful and share exactly how they got there. Our candles are made by Master Candle Makers and the quality is true in each and every item. Our candles are triple-scented and smell as good at the bottom of the jar as they do when you first light them. If you are looking for a quality product, true support and training, several proven ways to make money and an easy-to-use system, I invite you to join us.

Q.  How much money can I make?

A. The only way to answer this is with two other questions: "How much money do you want to make?" and "Are you willing to put in the time, energy and effort to get there?" This is a real business and the money you make won't magically happen. But you can retail product and make money right away. You choose how YOU want to build your business -- retail, fundraising and building a team. You have a great company, a top quality product, a terrific and knowledgeable support team and my personal commitment to help you every step of the way. The potential with this business is truly unlimited. So set your goals and we'll work out a plan so you get there!

Q.  Is this an MLM or network marketing? I failed at that before.

A. There are three distinct ways to build a business here. If you choose to build a team to create ongoing monthly income, that piece is network marketing. I've been in other MLM businesses and so I can feel the pit in your stomach when you think about MLM. Most people don't like to pressure their friends and family. They don't like the high quotas and required meetings. Just know that we are very different. We don't have quotas, we don't have mandatory meetings, and if you don't want to build a team, you don't have to. You can simply retail products or do fundraising. This is totally up to you. All avenues have been successful. We'll work with YOUR interests and create a plan that works for you.

Q.  If I don't want to talk to friends and family, do I have to?

A. No one here is going to tell you to make a list of 200 names (sound familiar!). You can build your business in many different ways and you can build totally online if you wish. I think you'll find that once you experience these candles, it's impossible not to tell your friends and family, but it's your choice.

Q.  So how do I build this business?

A. We have a system that will work for anyone -- the part-timer, the full-timer, those who love to recruit and those who don't. The key to a successful business is to find out what works best for YOU.

Q.  I work full-time. What if I only have 5-10 hours a week for this business?

A. You've heard it before, but it's not quantity, it's quality and that applies here too. If you use those 5-10 hours to check emails or surf the web, you won't get very far. But if you use those same hours in consistent actions that lead toward sales or team building, yes, you'll move forward.
