Thanks to all who replied to my last message. I am currently considering joining a homewares company and will also sell my own french jewellery. I am wondering if anyone would like to share how many parties per week and a rough estimate of what the income is generated from the parties???
Regards
Donna

Hi Donna,
As far as parties per week go, thats an individual choice some do 2 some do 5, I usually stick to 2-3.
Income - well of course that depends on sales. I get 31.5%, so on my party average of $800 I would earn = $250...not too bad for 2 hours work.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Regards
Donna

Number of sales/parties per week is something you'll need to work out yourself. Does you company have a minimum order level? What is going to fit into your lifestyle? How much time to you have? You might start off slow and build up to the number of parties per week you are hoping to achieve.
Like Donna, I am on 30% commission, but my parties don't seem to have an average. I sell anything between $80 to $1600! There are also productivity bonuses to take into account.
You also need to consider your own costs eg petrol, display materials, postage etc. It's not pure profit, unfortunately!
