[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once sold Tastefully Simple.

I liked most if the food but it was pricey for what it is.

I did not "work" my business which means I had a couple parties, delivered the products, and sent a couple follow up emails but did little else. The person who recruited me got a job out of state, moved , and decided to drop out herself. I did too a month or so later.

I may have made $50 in a year. The cost of supplies was crazy - everything from little tasting cups to little party bags you were supposed to hand out to party guests. The time commitment was also way higher than I anticipated. Each party took at least 3 hours of prep, the party took @3 hours. I never met one person who was selling who was making anything even close to a part time salary.

I still like their stuff and do buy it on occasion.[/quote]

My mother sells Tastefully Simple and has for 16 years now. She worked a corporate job for 13 years prior to selling and overlapped the last two years. She happened to be in the right place at the right time and built a team in the hundreds and was at the very top for many years. She's still in the top leader category, but the business overall isn't doing as well so her salary is more on par with what it was a few years ago. In the hayday though, she was making six figures and is still pretty close.

If you are passionate about the product, you can make it work. And for most people, sometimes all they want is a discount on the product and an extra $500 a year is a lot to some people. [/quote]
