How much time is involved?
Is this business kid and family friendly? How?
You can do this
business in only a few hours a week or you can work quite a few
hours at it and start seeing some real income! It's kid and family
friendly because there are no parties required.....but you can
do them if you like. No worrying about babysitters or Dad watching
the kids! It can be run completely online, or you can build up
a local clientele and just service them on a monthly basis.
What do you like best about
your business?
Hearing
the customers talk about how their mom or dad used to buy from "The Fuller
Brush Man", and how good the products were! Having folks
say "oh yes, I've heard of Fuller!" It's nice to not
have to explain to folks what I do. They know, and know immediately
the quality and care put info every product!
What’s
the hardest part about your business? Getting
the word out! It's a slow process at first. But most everyone
has heard
of or used Fuller Brush products, so once you tell someone they
usually ask for a catalog or brochure! Working consistently,
even
when you don't see any real results at the beginning. But with
effort and a "stick-to-it" attitude, the business will
start to grow and the checks start coming in!
How much
does it cost initially? We
have four startup kits from FREE to $39.95. Our "Fuller Gold" $39.95 kit
has over $130 in supplies and products including our famous "Electrostatic
Sweeper"!
Ongoing
expenses? Catalogs, monthly brochures, paperwork
supplies necessary to operate. Standard with any business.
Hostess gifts? If the distributor chooses to do
home parties or get-togethers, they are reponsible for supplying
their own Hostess gifts. The Company does not require home parties
as sales avenues.
How much commission or
compensation do you receive? How do you advance to leadership? Commission starts
at 20% and is cumulative up to $600 in retail sales. At $200 commission
increases to 22%, $400 increases to 24% and when $600 is reached
(in ANY amount of time..no limit) then the Sales Associate advances
to Manager and is locked in at 26% commission. From that point,
monthly sales levels determine the commission, which can go as
high as 46%.
Once $600 in sales
are achieved, you become at Manager at 26%. You will earn the
difference between your commission level and anyone that you sponsor
or is in your downline team. So if you're at 30%, and your recruit
is at 20%, you will earn the difference, or 10% on everything
your recruit sells. This goes for your entire downline, until
you promote out a Director. Directors can earn as much as 51%
commission on sales.
What is a realistic show sales average or monthly sales average?
Well, that is hard to say. Since we don't really "do"
shows..we don't have a show average as such. We aren't allowed
to quote "income" figures.

Do
you keep your own inventory and make deliveries?
You
can, but again it is not required. By having products on
hand,
you increase your impulse buys. Fuller has monthly sales
with as many as 50-60 products on sale..with discounts
from
20% to as much as 50%. So if you CAN stock up on sales,
then you can make some good "quick" money by
selling products you have in your inventory.
You can make deliveries to your local customers, or they
can order onine and have products shipped directly to them.

What’s the minimum
requirement to stay active? Nothing if you
are just buying wholesale. Once you start sponsoring, in order
to receive the commission difference it's only $35 retail per
month! Easily attainable with your own purchases each month. Once
you become a Directory then the monthly quota becomes $60.
What skills and experience
is required? What kind of training do you receive when joining? No
skills or experience are required. If you can talk to someone,
and simply share with
them that you have started your own Fuller Brush business, you
will get orders! You don't have to "do a list of 100"
and approach everyone now. Simply make it a habit to "share"
the news of your business. We receive a manual from home office,
and some excellent training from our upline the "Fuller Brush
Downeast Winning Team"! We have a website with training
articles and info on how to get started and build our biz. It
has a team
message board, and we have emails from our upline monthly will
tips to build our biz.
How are your products or
services sold? Can you sell online? Can you advertise online?
What are the restrictions for selling? There are no restrictions
for selling other than in a retail outlet! We can sell online,
advertise online, build our own website with a cart and take order
that way! We can advertise in any medium we choose. The only thing
we can't do is sell to a retail store or setup in a retail store
with a permanent location! This in itself is a HUGE benefit as
far as I'm concerned. You can literally build your entire business
online!
What else would you like
people to know about your business? We don't have to
sponsor to earn more commission in the lower stages. Not until
you get to Director are team members a requirement. You can jump
from the starting 20% to the Managers' 41% without ever sponsoring.
Of course, sponsoring DOES increase your monthly sales and you
can earn the override but it's not a major requirement until upper
level management!
