You are helping solve a consistent, perpetual problem for people – the
"Gift-Giving Dilemma!" Think about how many friends you know who are going to weddings, showers, or birthday parties and are saying "I have no idea
what to get! She is so hard to buy for." It happens all the time.
After filling out the Consultant Application, which takes a few minutes
online, you receive a Consultant Identification Number (CID). You can pass along your number to anyone you meet who has a "Gift-Giving Dilemma", and
they save 10%. It's as simple as that.
When a customer enters your 6-character code during checkout, you earn 10% of
the sale as a referral commission. PLUS, you can "sponsor" others into the program and earn a percentage of their sales as well.
NOTHING! The customer places the order on the website at their leisure.
They use your discount code, which automatically attaches the sale to your account. Literally, all you have to do is visit the Consultant Login and
redeem your earnings! You can visit the consultant section of the website and purchase a customer order kit that will allow you take orders and enter
them yourself for the customer.
YES! In fact, you can choose to redeem your earnings for a 50% bonus online.
For example, $100 in your account = $150 gift code for products on our website. You click a button and receive a code for the shopping cart. Your
account is adjusted accordingly!
If you have a friend who would be interested in earning some extra money, you
can have them sign up as a Consultant. On the application, there is a Sponsor ID field. They enter your ID into that field and they are "tied" to you
from then on. You earn 7% of their sales as well! In fact, you can earn smaller percentages of sales for consultants THEY sponsor – 2% and 1%
respectively. In all, we have reserved 20% to be paid out for referral commissions on each sale in the program PLUS the 10% discount your customers
receive.
NO! While some companies will require initial investments of $100-$500 or
more, there is absolutely no startup cost involved with our Consultant program. We do have some products that can help build your business, but none
of them are required. It all depends on the approach you feel most comfortable taking.
No. You earn commissions from the first product sold, and the commission is
made available for redemption once you reach $500 in sales (approximately 4 keepsakes).
While you are more than welcome to have some friends over, show your
keepsakes, at take orders, you could just as easily host a "virtual party" by sending an email or postcard to friends telling them about the
website.
We wanted to give back to our customers who have so faithfully provided the
word-of-mouth advertising money can't buy. People are always talking about our site, so why not give incentives for the chatter to continue? We are
willing to pay out commissions because it is a win-win.
Do you have a facebook account? Do you communicate with friends via email?
Do you have friends who are invited to weddings, birthdays, etc? Do you know any realtors who give gift cards or gift baskets and might want to give
something more memorable and get a discount? Do you get your hair or nails done at a salon where you could put out a card display? These are just a
few ideas to kick-start your Consultant business.
Since you are not employed by Sticks and Stones you may receive a Form
1099-MISC at the end of the year for redeeming more than $600.00 in cash/checks. You are considered an Independent Contractor by the
IRS.
