</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6LitreEGgyA/TZfh96EuSdI/AAAAAAAABVE/efkCYmKfi08/s1600/moneykey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6LitreEGgyA/TZfh96EuSdI/AAAAAAAABVE/efkCYmKfi08/s1600/moneykey.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Are you considering starting your own candle business? It can be quite a daunting task choosing a home based candle business. So how do you chooose the best candle business for YOU?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Spend time researching your candle business options. There are several popular Direct Sales Candle Businesses to choose from.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>Things to investigate while exploring your candle business options:</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Product</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">Look at the product lines provided by each candle business opportunity. Which one are you most attracted to? Which can you envision using in your home? Do you like the looks, the sizes, the colors, the shapes?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps request a sample or order some product from the companies you are considering to try the products first hand to see which you enjoy.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">View the online catalogs for each company, which product presentation do you enjoy most?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">In this industry you want to be a product of the product, meaning you want to actually <strong><em>use</em></strong> all of the products in the product line. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">You also want to feel comfortable with the pricing of the products, if you feel the products are too expensive for your personal budget, you will personally have a really hard time selling the products because if you would not pay that price for the products ~ how will you sell them for that price? You must be 100% confident in your product to be able to stand behind the candle business you choose to represent.</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Shipping</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much does shipping cost for web orders.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much does shipping cost for party orders.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much does shipping cost for consultant/demonstrator/distributor orders?</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Host/ess Rewards</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">What types of host/ess rewards are offered by the candle business opportunity? </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Does the candle company pay for these, or do they come out of your pocket?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Does the candle company have incentives and monthly specials?</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Consultant/Demonstrator/Distributor Supplies</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much does a pack of catalogs cost?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much do order forms cost?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much do hostess forms and envelopes cost?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">What other materials are offered by the candle business opportunity to boost your business? (brochures, window stickers, sample sizes, company logo wear, etc...)</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Consultant/Demonstrator/Distributor Websites and online marketing Restrictions</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">How much does a company replicated website cost?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Are you allowed to create your own personalized marketing website?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Are you allowed to use the company name and product images on the internet?</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Marketing</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">What are the ways you can market the business and does the candle business opportunity offer the tools to market in these ways? (i.e. basket party, home party, open house, online party software)</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Compensation Plan</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">Ask to view a compensation chart; pay attention how it pays! Full retail, wholesale, etc... </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Pay attention to the percentages, most will go up as you climb in rank.</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Incentives</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">Does the candle business opportunity offer awards, bonuses, cash, cars, jewelry, trips?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Have others achieved these things? Are they really obtainiable?</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"> <strong>Company Background</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">Look at each company, the company story, how the candle business got started, and how the candle company gives back.</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Choosing a Sponsor</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">"Interview" several potential sponsors, email is a great way to meet your sponsor and ask questions. However, I always recommend chatting via phone. This lets you hear the leader you are considering joining under ~ that voice connection is very important! By speaking one on one you'll get a feel for the person and see if your energies match and if your personalities 'click'. This is very important for a Sponsor/Team Member Relationship.</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Some questions to Ask your Potential Sponsor</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">How will they help you with your business?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">What hours are they available to assist you?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">Why are they in this business?</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Some things for YOU to think about...</strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">WHY are you looking for a candle business?</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">What is your why? (to be home with the kids, save money for the future, earn amazing vacations, build a retirement nest egg, retire early) Let this WHY be your passion that will propel your business into the future!</div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">Always ask any and all questions you can think about, take your time and know there is no rush, and no time requirement. You may decide today, tomorrow, in a month, in six months or in a year. The time is right, when you are ready!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

One post in one place can result in multiple posts on Facebook clogging the News Feed of your personal connections, and possibly resulting in people blocking your posts!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">An example, one of my Facebook connections today posted 3 messages in a row, they all fed into Facebook from 4 sources, so I had 12 messages in a row from one person filling up my Facebook News Feed ~ now that's no fun!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You never want to over do it with your online marketing, remember online marketing, just as local marketing, is about building relationships. Always run your business in a spam-free, non invasive way!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

"NO SOLICITING" can be a scary sign, like an invisible barrier. Personal experience proves those signs are mere deterrents, but when you have what they want, the sign is forgotten and you leave with cash in hand.<br />
<br />
However, I offer you a very valuable tip, get in without mentioning your business, until they ASK YOU! Find out how, watch below...<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Materials Used</span></strong> : Cello Bags, Curling Ribbon, Scent Samples, Business Cards and <em>oh-so-sweet-chocolate</em>!<br />

I am SO passionate about this industry and I believe that ANYONE with a no-fail attitude can reach amazing heights. However I have heard nearly every excuse in the book over the last decade as to why people are sinking, the most common one recently being 'the economy'. <br />
<br />
Stand tall, shine bright and REFUSE to take part in this "recession". Now don't get me wrong, I have family members, friends and beyond who have lost jobs, homes and worse. Some of them are indeed choosing to sit idle and do nothing about their situation. That is a conscious choice. However, others see the light and taking the bull by the horns.<br />
<br />
I have had people email me "I'm quitting - my husband lost his job, I can't afford the auto ship". Let me tell you this, if I had that attitude when I started with this company, I'd not be where I am today. I have had HIGHS and LOWS. I've almost thrown in the towel AND I've sought greener pastures. Water your own lawn and get GLOWING! Seriously, if your hubby loses his job, do you QUIT or do you get out there and start SELLING because you need money to survive the loss of his income? <br />
<br />
Your answer determines your success...<br />
<br />
EEEK I know, tough love from Alethea Anderson, but it's because I LOVE YOU! Each person out there HAS it inside, you just need to let it come to the surface... BELIEVE IN YOU! <br />

One votive will make <a href="http://candlebusinesstips.blogspot.com/2010/02/scent-samples-3-ways-grated-wax.html">30+ scent samples</a>, get the scent of the month under noses EVERY mo because one day those seeds are going to sprout! What about the extra votives? Sell them, give them as gifts, hostess gifts, new team member gifts, booking gifts, prizes at shows - use'em baby, MARKET that biz!<br />
