Lightbulb How to choose a company!

Some things to consider when choosing a home-based business!

Most of us want a home-based business because we want the flexibility to work from home at a time that is compatible with home and family responsibilities. I found I ran into many of the following issues:

Product and company: Does the company have products that you enjoy and use yourself? Is this a company that has quality, ethics and values that you are comfortable representing?

Home party plans: Will a company that uses primarily a party plan meet my needs to work when it is a good time for ME? Will I be stuck with having to do a party when someone else wants to have one or risk losing a booking! Will it be hard to get bookings and will enough people attend or will I get enough orders!

Quotas: Yikes! What if I want to take a vacation or need to take care of a family member who is ill and can't meet my sales quota? Will I not only lose income from not having my personal sales but will I also not be qualified to earn any bonus from the sales team I build?

Low profit margin: What is an adequate profit margin? Is 30% to 40% enough after I add up my gas, supplies, etc.

Training and support: What does the company offer for training and support?

After learning in the school of hard knocks with several companies I finally learned what was important for me and found what I was looking for!

Great non-toxic products that I use and enjoy myself made with environmentally friendly renewable resources obtained from American farmers. The company has a great fundraising program for charities and supports our military personnel. The sales plan doesn't require parties and NO SALES QUOTAs to earn a commission and bonus. Great profit margin - 50% or more on most items! Fantastic company training and support - a "Roadmap to Success" manual and also message boards, several training calls available every week and support from company leaders!
