I understand your concern. When I was searching for an opportunity that was one of my first questions. Nobody wants to start their own business on their time, to only have someone else telling them what to do in regards to a minimum. After I reviewed Passion Parties policy I felt at ease.

The minimum requirement is $600 in retail in a 6 month rolling period. That means if you don’t sell $100 this month for whatever reason, you can turn in $200 next month and so on for up to 6 months. If you don’t sell anything at all for 5 months , you simply sell $600 in the 6th month. That’s all. That is basically one party in 6 months.

The company has determined that if an independent business owner is not selling $600 in a six- month period, then they really are not interested in owning a business; part-time or full time. So, I went through the thought process and asked myself to weigh the risks, and I decided that I knew I was in business to sell more than $600 in 6 months so this would not apply to me. So far, it has not applied to my team members either.

Also, the company offers a 3-month grace period, in addition to this. For instance, some ladies like to take summer or holiday season as a down time to spend on family vacations etc. Well, Corp does not ask you to even turn in your minimum for that 3-months. You simply, let them know that you will not be doing business between this date and that date, and you are fine. It can be 3-months in a row, or separate over the course of a year.

I think these things allow Corp to be sure that they are in a mutually beneficial and respectful relationship. They certainly don't want to impose. They would much rather you be with them forever, and won't benefit from you becoming inactive. If you do become inactive because of not turning your minimum in for the 6 months, you simply call them and ask to be reactivated. That is all.

Starting your own part-time or full-time business takes careful consideration, and I am glad that you are looking into every aspect of your relationship with Passion Parties. However, please be sure not to keep you from starting this amazing business because of something as insignificant as this.

If you are concerned with turning in your $600/ in 6 month minimum, here is a list of things that I KNOW I use myself personally or purchase for gifts that may help cover this minimum so that you and I can get on with building a successful business.

Personal Monthly Use
Soft 7 Silky Shaving Cream $12.00
Romantatherapy Shower Gel $18
Alluring Body Lotion $16
Afterbath Body Dew Oil $16
Pure Instinct Cologne $21.00

Our Romantatherapy bath & body line is packaged in gorgeous, non-offensive packaging so my children use our bath products, and I also have it in my guest bathrooms.
Why buy from your grocer when you have your own store.
This list doesn't even mention the products that my husband and I enjoy privately; lotions, toys, lingerie, etc.

Keep in mind, also that there is usually a need to buy 1 gift per month possibly for a teacher, sister, aunt , mom, grandmother, best friend, neighbor, husband's co-workers, in-laws, hairstylist, school bus driver, team member etc...

...who is having a birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, anniversary, promotion, housewarming, etc

I get AT LEAST one phone order a month from a past customer or referral that purchase upwards of $200 over the internet, and at least 5- 10 phone calls from the same referrals who purchase $45-$80 each. Not bad for answering the phone. Of course, this is my business and doesn't reflect all consultants’ businesses, but if I am doing it, it is a very real possibility that I will train you how to build a loyal CLIENT base instead of a fly by night customer base.

Remember, we don't pay $100 out of our pocket for $100 RETAIL....we only pay $60 because we are keeping the 40% commission in our pocket. When you own your own store, the loved ones in your life receive high quality product at a lower cost to you, that is a unique gift that ONLY you provide and they will remember who gave it to them. They will likely fall in love with it, and order more when they run out.
