I never thought that I was capable of being successful at something like this, until I found out there was a direct sales company that sold kids books! Finding a company that I could combine my financial needs along with an endless supply of amazing books to give my kids, was an opportunity I couldn’t walk away from. Take a peek at some of the PaperPie brand partner FAQs and see if the business might be a good fit for you!
Added bonus of joining me as a StoryMaker? You get me! I offer my team frequent support, free trainings, challenges & prizes, and LOTS of encouragement! AND we have a group of some of the most fun women to hang out with,chatting online, at trainings, and more! You will be a part of an amazing community of book ladies who love free books, spreading literacy, earning great paychecks & perks, and seeing themselves accomplish more than they imagined!
Is this a Scam?
Many people hear direct sales & start yelling “pyramid scheme” and start running. Pyramid schemes are illegal. This is an opportunity to share amazing, award winning books that are interactive & fun with your family and others while making an income. Since most of these books are not available at retail stores, people purchase through consultants, who are knowledgeable about the quality and helpful at making recommendations. Is it a scam to earn free/discounted books for your family, with no minimum sales requirements or pressure to grow past your comfort level? Definitely not.
What am I required to Sell?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. We have no minimum sales requirements. No quotas to meet from a mean boss. You are your own boss, and your income is directly reflected in the amount of effort you put in to growing your business. There are no punishments if you have a busy month (or 2 or 3 and so on), but you’ll find that even fitting in a few events a month can work easily even with a busy schedule.
Do I have to recruit my friends?
Absolutely not. You’ll find that the more you fall in love with these amazing books, the more you will want to share them with people! Sharing the opportunity with people means you could change their life, the lives of the children they reach with their books, and your life as you grow a team. There is absolutely never any pressure for you to sign on everyone you know.
Do I get a Discount?
Of course! PaperPie brand partners enjoy at least a 25% off discount on our products! Your discount increases depending on your monthly sales and promotion status.
Do I get free books?
Yes! This was the main reason I activated my account to begin with! Many PaperPie brand partners begin with a “Launch Party” to share the books with friends and family, where they earn the commission and free hostess reward books! Brand partners can host parties for themselves at any time to earn free books, and there are opportunities to earn hundreds of free dollars in books during your first 8 weeks, as well as additional incentives from home office throughout the year.
Can I really make money with this?
In my opinion, if you are motivated and coachable, anything is possible! The average party has $400 in sales, which equals at least $100 in commission for you (before additional bonuses). That means with just 4 average size parties a month, you can be taking home $400 extra a month for you & your family. Imagine the possibilities of that extra money every month. Now imagine what life would look like if you grow your business to include more parties a month or building a business. Team Leaders on my team average $1,000 – $3,000 extra a month, which is huge!
Do I have to carry inventory?
No inventory is ever required. PaperPie brand partners who do booths, vendor events, and book fairs may wish to have inventory on hand for cash & carry purchases from customers. Consultants who are active and beyond their first 12 weeks are eligible to take out consignment on loan to pay back after their event is over & money is collected. How many companies do you know that will ship you product for free to sell without you fronting the cost?
What other perks are there?
Besides money and free books, there are so many amazing perks! Monthly challenge prizes from home office and our team, incentive prizes for your first 8 weeks for hitting goals & milestones, and let’s not forget about vacations! I’ve earned 5 trips in my 6 years with PaperPie, and this year I’m heading to Punta Cana!
What kind of support is provided?
As your team leader, I provide training and support with guidance through our facebook groups, video chat, email, and phone calls as needed. We have self-paced training programs to allow you to fit trainings into your busy schedule. Our incredible, nationally award winning team is available around the clock for support and guidance to ensure you are successful with getting started. Ultimately this is your business, so your success is dependent on your efforts, but I am here to give you all the tools you need in order to be successful.
How do I get started?
Getting started is easy! You can activate your PaperPie brand partner account for just $10, with additional add-ons available. You’ll receive a $20 book credit and your website subscription for 6 months. After 6 months, your website subscription is only $8/month, which you can renew on a month basis as needed. Since your cost of activating your account is less than the book credit you receive, you are making profit from your very first sale!
I LOVE sharing about my life as a StoryMaker! I’ve made so many wonderful friends, built a team that amazes me constantly, and has helped me figure out how to bridge the financial gap I had from staying home part time with my kids. If you have questions about the business, or are ready to take the leap to join me, contact me to chat more!
