GOURMET CANDLE HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

Thank you for visiting my website to learn more about our wonderful, clean burning gourmet scented candles (triple-scented to make the scent last to the very bottom of the jar) and our exciting home business opportunity.

Gourmet Scented Candle Products and Bath Products

We sell less toxic natural gourmet candles that come in 100 different scents.  The candles come in 16 and 26 oz jars, votives, candle melts and specialty items.  We also sell candle melters, soy soaps, hand and body washes, air fresheners and make-up. New products and new scents are being introduced all the time. In fact a new scent is formulated each month for the Autoship Program.

Environmentally Friendly Products

The difference between our candles and other candles is that ours are almost sootless and less toxic. It is hard to believe this but the candles are made from natural resources which give off less black soot. Everyone is now becoming more aware of toxic items in the home and these are a choice that is becoming more popular. They are made from soy, vegetables and beeswax and because of this our candles burn slower and longer. They are triple scented so the scent lasts right to the end of the jar. They are much safer to use around animals, birds and children. Our wicks are cotton. There are many people today looking for green products and this will give you an edge that some other candles companies do not have.

Wholesale Pricing

Some people join our programs just to obtain a discount in the pricing so they can buy candles for themselves at a cheaper price. Our Associate Program costs nothing to join and provides for an immediate 30% discount on the cost of any candles you buy. Our Autoship Program allows for you to obtain your candles at wholesale prices. See more details about this below.

Lower Than Wholesale Pricing

No, I said that right. I am not talking about lower than retail. I am talking about lower than wholesale. I have already mentioned that if you join the company you can get these candles at wholesale price. For those who just want to buy good quality scented candles, you can save alot of money. We do not have monthly selling quotas. You don't have to sell at all if you do not want to. If you regularly buy a certain amount of candles you will be eligible for a monthly bonus pool of ten prizes, one of which is $3000.

You should also be aware that there are daily sales and special sales that bring the price down. I am talking about BELOW WHOLESALE PRICING. I have seen sales that take down product and/or distributor materials to 50%. How many companies do you know that will give you rock bottom prices like that. You can either sell the candles to make even more money or you can use the product yourself and save alot of money on your bath and candle products. Don't forget, these candles make fabulous low price high quality gifts. The soaps and washes are great for the skin and last a long time.

No Obligation to Sell a Certain Quota and No Termination Fee

For those who want to try out our products and possibly give the selling a try, you should be aware that we have no selling quota AND you can quit any time without any termination fee. Therefore, there is no risk in trying out one of our programs. You just call up and say you wish to quit. It is as easy as that. No risk at all.

The Business Opportunity

We have two programs. The Candle of the Month Program or Autoship Program and the Associate Program. Canadians and Americans can join.

Associate Program

If you join the associate program it does not cost anything. You can get your candles at 30% below retail (so you are still getting a bargain), and if you wish you can sell them as well. You can join our program by clicking on Gourmet Candle Associate Program and scrolling to the bottom of the page. This program provides for residual income at 5% for anyone who signs up under you. See more details about residual income below. All you have to do is join to get the 30% discount and you can quit any time with no obligation to buy or sell each month if you do not want to.

Candle of the Month Program (Autoship Program)

People who join the Autoship Program are sometimes just looking to get their candles at wholesale price although this is the best program for someone wanting to make big money as a distributor. This program costs $39.95 (US) a month and you obtain each month a 16 oz candle, 12 votives, a soy soap and your very own website with its own shopping cart. Anyone living in the entire United States and Canada may buy the product directly without contacting you and you will receive a percentage of those sales. You do not have to do anything to earn that money although we will teach you to promote your website so your onlne sales will increase.

You can also change your monthly autoship option to receive two 16 oz jars, a soy soap and a website OR two foaming hand washes, 2 bella hand balm, 2 soy bars and a website if you would prefer one of these options. There is a monthly option for everyone.

Residual Income

The company pays residual income up to eight levels with bonuses that increase depending on your level. Residual income is earned from members who sign up under you. You will earn a percentage of everything that these members sell or buy for themselves. You may feel that you would not be able to get anyone to sign up under you because you might feel that you would have to approach friends and family. This is not the case with this company. I personally had no interest in selling to close acquaintenances and have not done so from the very beginning. Our market is so large and our training is so extensive that you will be able to have members from anywhere in the United States and Canada. I will show you exactly how to do this.

Compensation Plan

The compensation plan has 14 levels. Each level provides you with increasing percentages of profit, bonuses and residual income. You should take a look at the company newsletters for testimonials about how the distributors feel about selling these candle products. You can also take a look at the residual income charts which show exactly how much in sales are being made by distributors at each level. This will allow you to see that people are achieving the higher levels in the company and making good money doing so. The compensation plan provides:

Paid commissions between 5% and 10%.

Paid commissions on eight levels.

One Time Bonuses upon reaching new levels.

Monthly car bonus from $300 to $1000 as you go up in the levels.

1% or 2% bonuses from the executive profit pool on certain levels.

More About the Bonuses

The Company offers two types of bonuses. We have 14 compensation levels and upon reaching many of the levels you will receive a one time bonus for reaching that level and the amounts of the bonuses increase as you reach the higher levels. You will also be entitled on some levels to a 1% to 2% portion of the Company Leadership Pool. These bonuses are described more clearly on the compensation plan.

Monthly Bonus Contest (10 prizes)

The company also allows anyone who has $100 in sales (including all product they bought for themselves or product bought by members of their downline) to be included in the bonus contest to earn one of up to 10 prizes EACH AND EVERY MONTH. The first prize is $3,000. Even if you do not wish to sell the candles and only wish to get a better price on your candles you will be eligible for this contest each month. Take a look at this monthly bonus contest and see for yourself.

Car Allowance

The car allowance starts at $300 a month and goes up to $1000 a month. Those people do not have to do anything to earn that money. They have already done the work. That bonus is based on the level they have reached. The higher the level, the larger the car allowance.

Check out our compensation plan for yourself to obtain more details about the car allowance.

The Benefits of Hard Work

There is no such thing as a quick business scheme that brings you money just for signing up no matter how many times you will see these opportunities on the web. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true. Everything takes work. The difference is that once you put in the hard work then you can ease up because you will have your downline who will be making money for you. Can you do that with a 9 to 5 job? No! They expect you to work like a dog year after year and then when they find someone younger and cheaper, they let you go. You have become too expensive for them. This type of business allows for the opposite. The hard work you put in today will pay off down the road. The harder you work the sooner it will happen. There are distributors that have 100s of people in their downline and one in particular has more than 8,000 people.

Management Improves Benefits to Distributors

The Management of this company decided to increase the compensation plan benefits because they recognize that without the distributors there would be no business and they wanted our company to stand out from others. Management decided to share MORE OF that income with its members so that the lower levels would also get bonus incentives. I can tell you that really impressed me. I knew then that I had really made the right choice to go with this company. This is an example of a proactive company that is not just out to make a profit for itself but to make sure its distributors can also make a good living on the business. It's a win win situation for everyone. I have never seen this kind of change in incentives before. What I have seen are companies that have benefits and they decrease them every two or three years. Benefit plans seem to pay for less and less as time goes on. I bet you have seen that too. Companies these days are always cutting corners and the employee is usually the one who suffers. Our company does not have to worry about that because it is growing and making money. Read the CEO's Message and you will see what I mean. Read our newsletters and see for yourself how excited our distributors are and how well they are doing. These company newsletters are full of testimonials. They are long and full of information to help and motivate the members. There are so many testimonials that you will get tired reading before you get through them all.

Check out the video presentation for more information about the business. We also have some frequently asked questions about our gourmet candle business.

Selling Territory

Once of the things you should consider when going into a new business is the territory where you can sell. If you join the Autoship Program you will be provided with your own website that allows you to sell our products to anyone in the entire United States and Canada. This is a huge territory. You can also sign up distributors throughout the entire United States and a good portion of Canada which is expanding all the time.

Reasons for Success in Selling Gourmet Candles

The business is young but the candles are so popular that the business is growing very quickly. However, there is still a lot of room for new entrepreneiurs to join the team. These are the reasons why our business is so successful. We have a product that is used by 90% of women, the resale potential is high because the product is consumable, it has a twist because it is one of the few candles on the market that is environmentally friendly and the fact that our candles are triple-scented makes them more popular as a gourmet candle. People literally become addicted to the incredible scent and want more. Our residual income plan as well makes it possible for anyone to do well enough to work full-time in the business because the incentives are incredible.

The fact that the company is constantly watching how the products are selling, retiring ones that do not sell well and adding new products and different lines of products is another reason the company is doing so well.

Where and How You Can Sell Our Gourmet Candles

You can sell the candles in many different ways. Do you know some of those companies that sell items that can only be sold at parties? We do not work that way. You can sell to:

Retail Stores

Flea Markets

Booths in Malls or at Shows

Open Houses

Fundraisers

Parties

Direct Mail

Online

The only place you cannot sell these candles is at auctions. How wide open is that!! This is why people are so successful with this business. They are not limited and can therefore pick all or just some of the methods and still succeed. In order to become really successful in any business you need to have multiple income streams. This company provides for many income streams. Every time I tried out a new way of selling I contacted my upline and she immediately gave me the information that I needed to go forward. I also listened to the tapes recorded by the top leaders on that particular type of selling which gave me incredible incentives and information to succeed. I am not restricted to just selling to my friends or at home parties. I can do anything I like and I have all the information I need at my fingertips to show me how to do it.

Learning How to Sell

I never considered myself a salesperson but I picked up on it right away because of the information and assistance I was provided. The company provides the following training materials:

- taped conference calls from top leaders of the company telling you the methods they used to get to the top levels of the company are added weekly to the list in a variety of topics

- the company provides all kinds of training materials right up to a page by page booklet you can put together for fundraisers that only needs to have your contact info included by you

-the top leaders have their own websites and provide more training information

- advertising material is provided from small newspaper ads to full size page ads to internet marketing ads, to special holiday ads

- forms, sheets, calculations, all kinds of documents that are provided by the company and the other lead distributors in the company

- How to booklets such as: how to sell online, how to sell retail, how to organize a party, how to do a fundraiser, etc.

- Yahoo groups where distributors talk about their successes, pass on tips and leads, to each other

- Your own personal advisor to help you succeed

This material is always being added to and updated on a regular basis.

Have you ever heard of the term "warm market"? That's another term for "friends". I have never wanted to sell to friends. I don't have to do that. I have learned from the training material how to make money in this business without bothering my friends. I had looked into many opportunities and this just kept coming up over and over. When I found our company I realized I could make a great living selling these products without approaching my friends.

We all work as a group. Everyone helps each other. If you decide you are interested in this business you can be assured you can contact me as many times as you wish and I will help you get started and keep working with you until you have succeeded to the level you are happy with.

Quit Any Time

Yes, there is one more important thing you should know -- YOU CAN QUIT ANY TIME WITH NO OBLIGATION. ABSOLUTELY NONE. YOU JUST SAY YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED AND THAT IS IT.

ProActive Company

The company is proactive. New scents are being introduced each month and new products are introduced 2 or 3 times a year. You have already heard that the compensation plan has now been improved twice. The company also continues to improve its systems. We did not always have the online shopping. That was a new feature a few years ago. I have had sales online that I did not work to obtain. All I did was check in the back office and I could see the sales that had occurred online and the profit allocated to me. There is a section in the back office (available subsequent to your joining) where distributors can send in their suggested to the head office. Frequently these suggestions are picked up and implemented. The company cares about the thoughts and ideas of its distributors. The company is re-investing profits back into the company so it can continue to improve.
