Loving Sarah Coventry

As I had mentioned in another post entitled "Sarah Coventry", I am a style consultant for this in-home jewelry business. I am not new to the in-home sales industry. I worked as a representative for Partylite candles for over a year and while I loved their product (and still do), it became harder and harder not only to transport all of the items for shows but to keep up with the minimum sales amount each month. There were really slow months when I found myself ordering from myself just to remain active. After my car accident and after becoming pregnant with Dare Devil, the amount of product was just too much to carry with me anymore.

Now, I only take two small tote bags with me to my jewelry shows. The tote bags are enough to carry the jewelry, the table cover, displays to hold the jewelry, folders with catalogs and order forms, pens, tickets for games, prizes and my binder. People are always surprised that I don't have more to carry into their homes. It is really a breath of fresh air. And this isn't even the best part about it all.

You all know that I am a stay-at-home mom, my kids come first and I try to make it to every event possible whether it's school related or sports. With this job, I set my own schedule and my own hours to work around my kids! And, I don't have to have a minimum in sales each month to remain active which is so great! Anyone who does or has done in-home sales knows how hard that can be. I took off work in December and January while we got through holidays, both kids being sick and me adjusting to the morning sickness, and now I am jumping right back in with no questions asked! Another wonderful thing is that as a consultant, I get to buy all the jewelry at 70% off! With Partylite we could buy things at 50% off the first time, but if we wanted to buy the same thing more than once we only got it for 30% off or had to pay full price. So this is really great. There are always incentives too. When I first started, I made over $1000 in sales within my first five weeks so I earned $100 in free credit and this beautiful ring. I thought I was going to have to use that credit to buy things at full price like other in-home sales businesses make their consultants do, but no! I could use my $100 towards jewelry that I got at 70% off! You should see how much jewelry I was able to get!

A lady from the corporate office flew here to visit with our newly formed branch on Saturday and she was the nicest, most personable person ever. There were a lot of benefits I didn't know about yet, such as the 70% off of jewelry we get as consultants but also a medical insurance plan available to us. That peaked my cousin-in-law's interest since she recently became a stay-at-home mom. There are also incentive trips which are easier to earn with this company than other companies. And one of the really great things I've dealt with so far was communication. Any question I've had, no matter how simple was dealt with right away. I've sent many e-mails to corporate since starting and they've always been answered within a few hours, which was amazing.

The benefits for hostesses is also out of this world. When you book a show, you earn $50 in credit just for having a show over $300. On top of that you also get 20% of the sales from your show in credit. You earn half-priced items also as a hostess and lately Sarah Coventry has been running double hostess credit months so instead of getting 20%, you get 40%! (February is a double hostess credit month and I'm having a show myself so I can get paid and get a lot of free jewelry!) On top of that, there is always a really beautiful piece of jewelry given to the hostess for free if her show is over a certain amount, which by the way isn't hard. The average show is $500. The people in attendance at the shows also benefit big time. Lately, Sarah Coventry has been running specials such as, Buy Two Get Two at Half Off and Spend Over $75, Get Your Next Item at 75% Off! The great thing about that is that it can be the most expensive thing you pick out. They won't make you get the cheapest item at the discounted price!
And here's another fantastic thing about Sarah Coventry, all of the jewelry gets shipped right to the customers themselves. As a hostess you don't have to sort everyone's orders and deliver them like with other companies.

We're just starting up our branch here and we are literally sitting on a gold mine. It is inevitable that in-home sales companies will grow because of how popular they are. It helps that Sarah Coventry has been around since 1949 also. They used to be an in-home sales business until they began selling in stores like JC Penny. But in 2003 they became in-home sales again and anyone coming into this business now as a consultant is going to make a lot of money. If you've done in-home sales before then you've heard about and maybe even met the women who were top leaders making $100,000 + a year. Well that's because they came into the business when it was ground floor and moving up. Now is the perfect time to become a Sarah Coventry Style Consultant, you are bound to make money, and a lot of it. I've added a link to my personal Sarah Coventry page on this blog.
