FAQ's about Joining My Team with Close To My Heart

How much is the consultant kit?

The consultant kit is ONLY $129 plus shipping and tax. You also have the option to add on a scrapbooking or card making kit at a huge discount. The consultant kits is valued at over $350.

What are the quarterly minimums as a consultant?

As an active consultant you need to sell and/or purchase only $300 per quarter. Easy enough right? I think so. Especially to be able to receive 22% on your own purchases. Gotta love that. CTMH quarters are standard calendar quarters (January thru March, April thru June, July thru Sept and Oct thru Dec) As a new consultant you're given a little extra time on this and you have until the following quarters to start your minimums. Although if you are trying to earn the extra incentives offered by the Straight to the Top you won't want to do that.

Do I get a discount on my own personal purchases?

Yep, sure do... it's a 22% discount.

What is the commission structure as an Active Consultant?

As your sales increase, so do your financial rewards!!!! Check it out...
Base Commission: Make a sale and you earn a base commission of 22%. Easy Peasy! You don't have to wait to receive a check from Close To My Heart you simply collect the money from the sale, and then remit the product cost to Close To My Heart. For example, if you sold and collected payment at a gathering for $250, you would remit $195 to Close to My Heart and keep $55 for your commission (excluding sales tax and shipping/handling). Pretty cool, huh?
Override Commissions: As your monthly sales go up, so do your commissions! The more you sell in a month, the higher your override commission will be for that month. Up to a possible 34%. Override commissions are calculated by CTMH corp monthly and are paid by the 15th of the following month. Commissions are paid once you have cumulative total or exceed $10. You can even sign up for Direct Deposit and your commissions are paid directly to your account.

What is the commission structure as a Junior Consultant?

If for some reason you fall short from meeting the minimum requirement of $300 per quarter, you will then become a Junior Consultant. If you are on my team and feel like you are going to drop to a Jr Consultant be sure and let me know so I can give you ideas and help to keep you an active consultant. As a Junior Consultant, you will receive a 10% discount on all product orders. To remain a Junior Consultant all you need to do is submit one or more orders (any dollar amount) at least every 12 months. While a Junior Consultant if you don't submit an order within 12 months you become a JCCU which is a Junior Consultant with a Corporate Upline. To become an Active Consultant again simply sell $300 in a quarter and you will be bumped back up and receive your 22% commission again.

What kind of training will you receive as a consultant?

Not only will you receive great training materials in your consultant kit, you will receive the Start with Heart weekly newsletters for the first 13 weeks. These are designed to help you get your business off to a great start. If you follow these like I did you will have no problem achieving your Straight to The Top goals and earn FREE products for achieving goals (more info about this under Straight to the Top). Close To My Heart also sends out a weekly email of the company newsletter. The newsletter includes tips & techniques, company updates, product information, and lots of great business ideas. The best tool available for consultants is the Online Training Academy which provides training which focuses on 5 different areas: business, creative, leadership, personal development and professional development and is a great source for continued training. You can even earn a Bachelors degree, Masters degree & PhD from Close To My Heart. I enjoyed the classes so much I managed to get my PhD fairly quickly. Little did I know you even get recognition for it at corporate events!
