As I have mentioned in my previous blog I have recently become a Lorraine Lea Linen consultant. I was sent an email from my area manager the other day saying we are seriously lacking in consultants in the following areas Campbelltown, Camden, Mt Annan, Bowral, Robertson, Corrimal, Fairy Meadow, Dapto, Gerringong, Kiama, St Georges Basin, Vincentia, Milton, Tabourie Lake, Batemans Bay (not sure of all the suburbs), Mourya, Bermagui.
Now, like I said, I have only just started so I have no real loyalties yet so I can be completely honest about my personal start up journey.
Your start up kit costs $590 but you only need $150 up front, the rest they take out of your profits as you do your parties. You get stacks of stuff in your kit. A single bed quilt, and quilt cover set. A Euro Pillow and a standard pillow, heaps of stationary. Sample pillow cases, A sheet set..... Heaps!
You need 8 parties with in 4 weeks to start up. This isnt hard. I thought it would be but its not. One of the other ladies didnt really have alot of friends so she took her catalogue to the local shopping mall and showed it to the girls working in the shops and scored heaps of parties!!
There is soooo much support within Lorraine Lea! Its not just "Here's your kit now off you go" LIke it used to be. I had a whole day "Kit up" Where my manager showed my how to set up and how to sell how to do everything really. I wont lie, there was a lot of work in the first few weeks getting started, It was a bit over whelming but now that I have my kit together and all my catalogues in order, I have 2 days a week where I spend half an hour making confirmation calls etc, 1 night a week where I update my catalogues (usually on the lounge with hubby after the kids go to bed) and then I have my parties.
I originally wanted to do 2 parties a week but I now cut myself off at 3. It is really not hard to get the ongoing party bookings. I have been making decent money too. Its not great, and its not predictable but its "spare money" Its great if you can live off what you are bringing in now but you dont have much savings or holiday money. I wouldnt want to include it in a mortgage repayment or anything like that but it is good to have a little lying around for when your radiator blows up. Last week I made $1000, this week I made $250?
I love it coz I work the days I want and Im home with the kids. I spent 5 yrs travelling and moving with my husbands work so I was pretty much a 24/7 housewife and mother. I had no life and no friends. It was depressing. So now we are back home I am trying to make up for lost time. Its great to be out there socialising again. Meeting new people and contacts.
If you are interested at all, I can send you a 5 min dvd to watch and that will fill you in on some more details. Just minti mail me.
