Can My Host Become a Consultant Without Enough Sales for a Kit?

[noelskitchen]

What if my host who's thinking about becoming a consultant doesn't have enough sales to earn enough free product value to use towards her kit? She can't afford to purchase the kit but is giving the opportunity a serious thought. I really want this to work for her.

She (and you) will have to get creative about how she is going to make the initial investment. Could she ask a relative or a couple of relatives to "invest" in her business; then, by hosting shows, they will get that investment back in more than the initial in free products....OR, could she work a few extra hours at her current job to set that aside...could she have a garage sale to earn the $$ needed...could she set aside X amount of $/week to save for the kit...just some ideas...the free product value is a GREAT way to get started, but it's not the only way!

She could ask for Christmas $ early. Or ask for the kit for Christmas.

My thought exactly. Ask all her friends & relatives to give her cash in lieu of a present this year. Those $15 & $25 gifts will add up quickly. If she has extra, she can use it on kit enhancement later.

Well, when I first read this quickly I was thinking, "she doesn't have to have a kit credit". But then after reading again I saw that she does not have enough money. I like the idea of asking for $ that would be spent on a gift to be applied to her business investment. To be honest, i have offered this to one of my leads and I quickly determined that she didn't want the business that bad. She wanted her gifts. If she really wants this business, finding $ for the kit will be just the first of obstacles. She will find a way to get the money. Otherwise she will find an excuse.
