Is there an opportunity for new Consultants to earn free products?

Absolutely! With the “Straight to the Top” program, you can earn 3 new business builder stamps by having sales of $250 within the your first month. Have an additional $400 in sales by the end of your second month and earn a to go Business bag. Have an additional $550 in sales by the end of your third month and earn a Logo Shirt. If you reach all three levels of the Straight to the Top (STTT) program you will receive an organizer full of $150 worth of product.

What’s the catch?

Other than getting a ton of wonderful products at a great deal and most likely getting addicted to them, there is no catch. You have the opportunity to build a business if you choose, but you don’t have to.

What if I don’t want to build a business and I just want to get the discount for myself on future orders? 

That’s great! Many Consultants are Hobbyists or Personal Use Consultants and do not do parties or hold classes or workshops. You are welcome to simply enjoy the discount on your own orders.

What is the discount?

Active Consultants enjoy a discount of 22%-35% depending on their sales for the month in addition to earning up to $75 in FREE product credit each month. Senior Directors and above also earn an additional 5% - 15% of personal override commission ON TOP of the regular commission and free product credit! Your earning potential is unlimited!

What are the sales requirements?

The sales requirement is $300 retail (before your discount) per calendar quarter to stay an active Consultant.

What if I don’t place $300 in a quarter or place any orders at all?

Once you sign up, you have a full quarter to make your sales minimum. Then if you do not have a total of $300 in orders, you simply drop and are no longer a Consultant.

Do I need to give the Kit back if I drop?

Nope. Everything is yours to keep! No strings attached.

Are you required to maintain an inventory?

Nope. There are so many different products that Close to my Heart actually suggests that you do not maintain an inventory. You can place an order for 1 item or 1000 items, so there is really no need to keep an inventory.

Does the company offer Hostess gifts? If so, who pays for them?

Yes! Close to my Heart pays for the hostess rewards. And as a Consultant, you are welcome to be your own Hostess and earn more free goodies!

Does Close to my Heart offer any training or events?

YES! There are so many different training options available including lots of great videos. There is an entire listening library of recorded conference calls, bulletin boards for artwork, business, templates, Studio J, Swaps, Mentoring, and more. They have pre-designed projects and workshops for us to use. There are annual events such as Local “Rediscover” Events, annual Crop Weekends, and Convention. There is even an 800# that you can call if you have questions, as well as a chat line. You will never be without help. Plus you have me assisting you as you go.

How much is it to have a website?

All Consultants now have FREE websites, so your friends and customers can place orders online, 24 hours a day!

Can Consultants send out newsletters?

YES! Close to my Heart also provides all Consultants with free, professionally designed monthly newsletters, making it easier than ever to communicate with your customers.

How do you sign up?

You can sign up at my website HERE. It will take you less than 5 minutes and your New Consultant Kit will be sent out to you right away.

How long will it take to receive my kit?

They have been shipping them out very quickly. They typically ship in 1-2 days of receiving your online application. You will receive a Fed Ex tracking number via email, so that you can track your package and know exactly when it will arrive.

Can I contact you if I have questions?

Of course you can. I am available to my team via phone, email or Facebook. I am more than happy to help you get started building a business, or just encourage you if you would simply like to be a Personal Use Consultant.Whatever your reason for signing up, you have nothing to lose!
