Top Ten Reasons for a Candle Home Business

You have the opportunity to give in this candle home business just based on the company mission statement: "to provide an opportunity for a better life through unique, high-quality products, excellent compensation and business integrity."

In addition to giving through the products and business opportunity, you can contribute to charitable organizations through purchasing company pins. A percentage of all sales is given to various charities.

You, as a distributor, also have the chance to give by offering fundraising opportunities to worthwhile organizations in your community. How many sports teams, bands, church groups and schools can you think of that would benefit from a candle fundraiser? Not only do you profit from this, but organizations that you care about can raise the necessary funds to continue their work . . . while also offering people a great product that 8 out of 10 homes purchase anyway!

And can you imagine being able to help food banks and other agencies that assist people in need? What a worthwhile way to do business!

When you become a distributor in this candle home business, you become part of a growing national and international community.

You're an independent business owner, but you're not alone in your business.

The atmosphere within the company is collaborative and supportive. From the welcome emails you receive when you join, to regular communication from the company and your upline, to trainings and events, the synergy is evident.

And there is a warm, family feel which you'll sense immediately in every communication you have.

Our company CEO said this about his experience in network marketing:

"I really love the fact that in network marketing you get to 'wake up when your eyes open ... not when some silly alarm clock tells you to' ... PLUS you get to work with motivated people from all over the U.S.A. (and in some cases, around the world!) . . . BUT I was never able to reconcile the fact that, although most good network marketing programs have excellent products, their wholesale pricing never really allowed distributors to make enough money by simply selling products to customers!

In other words, if the distributors in my organization were not sponsoring other distributors into their respective program, they were unable to put badly needed money in their pockets daily.

I told Charlie [his business partner] that someday we would find a company with integrity that had a good product(s) that people could retail for daily money and also develop a downline organization for residual income.

Then one day it happened ... but not the way we ever expected it to happen! Instead of finding a company we BECAME a company!"

As this shows, integrity is the basis of this company and when you join, you'll experience it firsthand.

Our company offers choices in many ways - - products, scents, autoship selections, start-up packages, and money-making options (read more about product choice in Reason #6 and start-up costs in Reason #10).

Money-making options is the focus of this top reason for a candle home business.

When you join, you have the chance to make money in three different ways. You can choose all of the options, or only one. It's up to you, based on your passions, desires, goals, interests and skills.

Your choices are:

1. Retailing:

Retailing the product lets you make money right away, and on an ongoing basis. You make 40% to 60% profit.

You can be as creative as you like with this.

Many distributors retail through:

• home parties


• office parties


• craft fairs


• local fairs


• selling products in shops, boutiques and offices


• "lifestyling" their business


• "smell and tell"

And more!

2. Fundraising:

The company provides you with guidance and materials to carry out this worthwhile opportunity to give and make money.

Many distributors are making a full time income just from fundraising!

3. Building a Team:

You build a team when you share the business opportunity and products with others, help them get going as a distributor, and coach them in achieving success.

You'll earn a percentage from each Candle of the Month and order placed by the distributors in your team and you'll earn this on an ongoing basis as long as they are active!

The compensation plan in this candle home business is a simple one to understand.

To use network marketing terminology, it's a "unilevel" plan. "Uni" means "one." The unilevel plan pays on an unlimited frontline (width, or those you've personally sponsored), which is your first level (from "one"). And, you're paid on a limited number of levels (depth, or those who are sponsored by the people you sponsored). What you're paid on is the volume in your organization (your width and the depth allowed by the company). If you draw it out, it looks like a rectangle (you build your business as wide as you want by sponsoring as many distributors as you like) and you receive income on a particular amount of depth (up to 8 levels).

With our company, you can earn 5-10% of the commissionable sales volume of all the Candle of the Month members and Associate Program members in your organization, based on the retail sales of your organization, up to eight levels.

More specifically, the breakdown is as follows:

• 10% on your first level


• 5% on your second level


• 5% on your third level


• 5% on your fourth level


• 5% on your fifth level


• 10% on your sixth level


• 5% on your seventh level


• 5% on your eighth level

Rank advancements are designed to be fair to the distributor and, if you work to meet your goals, you can reach the fifth level of "diamond" quite quickly. Rank advancements to the fifth level take place each time a new active distributor joins your organization. After the level of diamond, rank advancements are based on certain requirements e.g. CV.

In addition, one-time bonuses, car bonuses, and leadership pool profits occur once you've advanced in rank to specified levels.

Because you're paid on the retail sales of your organization, you'll want to make sure that you support the distributors in your organization to build their businesses and reach success! Therefore, the compensation plan encourages team building and the development and support of your downline.
