Well there are lots of companies out there to help people work around commintments.

However you have to be a self starter, As with anything where you gernate your own business, what you put in you get

I have been a Virgin vie at home consultant for 6 years and yes things change and things take time to get used to but £150.00 party is not the norm, my average is £230 but i work with my hostesses and it shows!

Virgin Vie has a a wider appeal, credit crunch, - We will pick up those ladies that like the Top Counter products however if they need to cut their cloth, they will give VV a chance as we are value for Money with exceptional quality, we can offer a number of party themes, which means you dont see the same stuff all the time, plus all parties are different and you meet lots of new people.

What you choose with direct selling I would say look at the numbers of times you could see a hostess with her been bored of the same itmes, and the differnet party themes you could offer.

Plus the joining kit for Virgin is only £60.00 plus PLI or I do know of a fabulous offer in May contact me direct on

[EMAIL="kerry.whittle@yahoo.co.uk"]kerry.whittle@yahoo.co.uk[/EMAIL]

or visits Virgin vie at home website and choose for your self

What's the company's view on their agents spamming ad-free websites, I wonder? :rolleyes:

Hi Like you Luce I also sell VV cosmetics and homeware, and yes to agree i have also become disillusioned with the changes made to commission etc.
I have joined Jamie at home as a consultant, and so far have been having good feedback. Yes some of the stuff is pricey, however having seen the stuff, can tell you it is quality, every little detail seems to have been thought of ..... spouts on mixing bowls for pouring batter, holes in cheese knife so when cut cheese doesnt stick to knife. Small things I know but well thought out. I have also recieved my first wages!!!( paid every 2 weeks into my bank)
If you want to have a chat ( or indeed anyone else) then send me an email, and I can try and answer you questions.
Bye
Caroline

I am considering joining up, I currently do Virgin Vie but I've found recently that it's getting harder with them. (They've put the commission down, but other expenses are still the same )

I love VV but have found that I haven't made much money from it, in fact I think it's actually cost me more :eek:

I've requested some info on Jamie at home, and the basics are:
20% comission, NO delivery or hostess costs which to me makes it very appealing.

At the min if I do a VV party the sales are around £150 (sometimes more/less) I earn £30, I then pay delivery costs (£5-7) and hostess gifts (£6-9). That doesn't include any travel costs.

VV release catalogues 3 times a year which cost 50p a catalogue, so really I spend as much as I earn.

So I'm seriously considering Jamie at home and would love to hear people's views!
TIA

Pampered Chef pay 20% commission and no delivery costs at all if you sell at a show. Also, once a year you can (if you want to) buy anything at 40% discount - for your own use or for selling. Commission rises to 22% once you have sold a certain amount. If you get new recruits, you also get more commission. You get a certain amount of catalogues for free plus other stationary - any more you have to pay for, but unless you give all catalogues away then your startup and running costs are absolutely minimal! PM me if you are interested.

Hi

I am meeting a manager tomorrow to discuss starting as a consultant for Jamie at Home.

Would appreciate knowing how you are getting on and if you think it is worth the outlay - what's your average sales per party?

thanks

look forward to hearing from you soon

Whilst I am not in the market to join Jamie at Home, I thought I would add my feedback as someone who has been to a JME party - the products are expensive (although the kilner jars are very well priced and wonderful quality if I do say so)
The products are to die for! They are so lovely I could of spent a fortune. Normally I am a tight @rse, but even I went mad and bought kilner jars and a pestle and mortar (marble £18 :eek:)...

Don't be fobbed off if you are told the items are only available at parties (we were when we went to a friends do) they are available on the website;http://www.jamieoliver.com/jme/index.html

That is precisely why I work with a DSA company that doesn't sell online.

compared to Jamie Oliver parties, pampered chef is cheap. Dont be fooled into thinking the stuff is gonna cost the same as his highstreet range (which also isnt that cheap)

think most people spend half the evening looking for the one item they can afford to buy and never use, and the host got very little return for inviting all their poor, unsuspecting friends

Also doesnt look worth the outlay for the demonstrator, espec if the sales at parties ive been to, are anything to go by. With pampered chef, most people get into selling it because its the cheapest way of getting hold of alot of the items. they do very few parties and then jack the job in, keeping all their kit, dont know if the jamie oliver ones, are worth the outlay

I so agree. Just been to one at as a fundraiser for playgroup and bought £9 cookie cutters as felt I had to buy something and most things were pretty but expensive or else I wouldnt use or else I could get a cheap version of them in Ikea (like the glass jars)

If you want to do kitchen stuff, PC would be a better one to do. Didnt thik there was that much in the Jamie brochure anyway
