[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lady who was one of the top ten sellers for Stella & Dot a few years ago.  This woman is gorgeous, bubby, worked her ass off, did parties every weekend, knew tons of people, etc.  Definitely one of the few who you'd expect would be making the big bucks, and her FB statuses also gave that impression.  She quit abruptly because apparently S&D changed the commission structure and screwed a lot of people at the top, including her.  Another of my friends was considering signing up, so I asked the former rep what she thought about it.  Former rep told me flat-out that no matter how hard you work at S&D, you will NEVER make more than $2-$3k per month.  It's just not possible, given the commission structure and the amount of jewelry the reps have to buy, etc.  Plus, the amount of hours she was putting in were absolutely insane.  She probably did 2-3 shows every weekend, which is way more than most reps would ever be able to book.  I don't know about anyone else, but if I needed an extra $2-3k per month, I'd work at Starbucks or something before I'd go into MLM, but whatever.  I have no idea how much she netted overall, but I'm guessing it wasn't a particularly impressive figure.  [/quote]

There's no way you can make $2-3k per month at Starbucks, even if you worked there full-time.[/quote]

Sure you can; I would be willing to bet shift supervisors and assistant store managers make quite a bit more than that around here.  Baristas probably don't do too badly, either.  I remember reading somewhere that the average f/t barista makes $22k/year and that's nationwide.  I'm not saying it's enough to support a family, but if I needed extra money, it's certaily more steady, dependable work than having to shill to my friends and family all the time.  Plus, with the friend I'm talking about, she EASILY put in 30 hours of work per week on the Stella & Dot crap in addition to her regular f/t job.  It got worse the higher up she became, according to her, because the targets got shifted around all the time and that's what ultimately led her to leave.[/quote]
