I have had a few questions about how to get paid, so I thought I would tell you what I did when I first started.

If you have people purchasing products under you, then you will want to place an order under your own ID, so that you get paid on the products that are sold under you. For example, if Carolyne sells products, she is under me, so in order for me to get paid on what she sells, I have to place an order under my own ID, for approximately $140 retail ($91 wholesale) and that will equal 100QV (qualifying volume).

What you want to do, is purchase products that you would normally purchase if you were to go to London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart etc. I don’t look at it like “I have to spend $100” in order to get paid, I think about what products I would use every month and I buy them from my own store. I use shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hand crème, supplements etc. so it’s not like I am having to spend money to get paid, I am spending money because I need to wash my hair and I love the products!

As your business grows, you won’t “have” to place that order for your own products because you will have reorders and retail orders from repeat customers, but you probably will still purchase products, because you still will wash your hair, use face crème, etc.

If you have people selling products under you, then you are so lucky that someone is helping you build your business. Be a product of the product and use them, they are awesome products and you get a 35% discount.

I purchase the baby products for gifts, the spa products for gifts, etc. I had a consultant order the FC5 basket of products to give to a friend that was going in for an operation. Use your own store to shop from. It lets other people try the products and chances are that they will love them. You can be building a business without even wanting to sell products.
