Questions about Thirty-One? Here are the answers!
Where does the name “Thirty-One” come from?
The name “Thirty-One” comes from Proverbs 31, which also happens to be one of my favorite passages of scripture.
10 Who[b] can find a virtuous[c] wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “ Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
What are the benefits of being a Thirty-One Consultant?
The most obvious benefit of being a consultant is that you receive 25% commission on your product sales. As you progress through the career path, you have the opportunity to earn even more commission, bonuses, and trips. You also have the benefit of purchasing all Thirty-One products at 25% off. In a broader sense, Thirty-One gives you the ability to make your own hours, realize the dream of owning your own business, help others realize their dreams, and experience financial freedom! Please contact me at alison.31@att.net for more detailed information and career path information.
What is a “Skirt Purse”?
The top of the purse is leather and folds over to hide the top of the skirt that is attached to the purse body by multiple metal fasteners. The skirts are very easy to replace making it a snap to change the look of your purse as often as you need to without having to transport all your “stuff” from one bag to another. The skirt purse comes in black or brown and is made with a high quality material that allows you to carry the bag without a skirt as well. The skirt purse is $42 and the city skirt purse is $59; both come with a free skirt of your choice. You can then purchase additional skirts for only $15 (skirt) and $20 (city skirt) – it’s like getting a new purse for only $15 or $20!
How do I place a Thirty-One order?
Simply go to www.mythirtyone.com/alisonrader
You can browse all three of our catalogs and place your order online. You can also send me an email with your address and I will send you a catalog or bring one to you if you are in the Austin, TX area.
What are the benefits of being a hostess for Thirty-One?
The benefits of being a hostess include free products, half-price items, and additional discounts. In addition, there is a hostess special each month that offers you even greater incentives to hosting your own party! Being a Thirty-One hostess is fun! You get to have all your friends over and shop for purses – what could be better? If you would like more specifics, email me at alison/31@att.net and I will be happy to send you the hostess flyer with all of the details!
Can Thirty-One help me with my fundraiser?
Absolutely! I would be happy to talk to you about putting together a fundraiser for your school, non-profit group or team!
What is required of me if I sign up to be a Consultant?
First of all, you must be at least 18 years old and a US citizen or permanent resident. When you sign up to be a consultant, you are agreeing that you will have at least $1000 in sales. You are required to uphold the reputation of Thirty-One and to present the products in an honest manner. You are not required to purchase any other products or business supplies, although as you go along business supplies can help you be successful
I want to be a consultant, how do I get started?
The first thing I advise you to do is book parties! The first party you should book is for yourself! Host an Open House to introduce Thirty-One and all we have to offer to your family and friends. Not only does this give you an opportunity to have people book more parties, but you can use the hostess benefits to get more products to add to your display! It is highly encouraged for you to book parties even before your kit arrives because there are great incentives and freebies if you meet certain goals during your first few months. If you join my team, you will receive party tips and any help you need from me. Thirty-One also has tons of training and resource materials on its consultant-only website. In addition, there is a yahoo forum for consultants that has an overwhelming amount of files, advice, photos, peer support and more!
Is there a minimum I have to sell to stay a consultant?
In order to remain an active consultant, you must submit a qualifying show or cumulative sales of $200 within a 3 month consecutive period.
Do I have to recruit new consultants?
You have no obligation to recruit new consultants. However, once you reach the Senior Consultant level, you start to earn commission on the sales of your recruits. I hope you will find that as a consultant, you are so excited about the company and the products that you will be thrilled to share the opportunity with others – but that is completely your choice!
What kind of support do consultants get from the Home Office?
Consultants receive an unbelievable amount of support from the Home Office. The consultants-only web site is packed with party, business, and recruiting tools. There are regular trainings, tips for success and more! The Home Office also offers incentives and rewards for consultants throughout the year.
How much time does it take to be a consultant?
The amount of time you put into being a consultant is completely up to you. You can put in as little or as much as you have time for. I have a super cute husband and a sweet baby girl, work part-time as a community outreach coordinator for a hospice and am involved in a number of capacities with church. I am able to do Thirty-One on the side and have time to do all the things I am passionate about. I also have time to do those things about which I am not passionate, such as washing dishes. Other consultants take on Thirty-One as their full-time job and find great success!
Where can I find out about specials?
You can view the monthly customer and hostess specials at www.mythirtyone.com/alisonrader. Click on Specials or Hostess Rewards.
Is there an extra charge for personalization?
Embroidery is $6 for an initial, monogram, word(s), or name. When hostess earn half-price items, the embroidery is half-off as well.
Do consultants get commission on personalization?
Yes! Consultants make commission on personalization, retail orders, hostess retail orders, and hostess credit overage. Consultants do not make commission on hostess half-price items.
Do party orders get shipped to the hostess or the consultant?
Party orders can be shipped to the hostess or the consultant.
How do friends/relatives from out of town order from a party?
You have the option to set up your party online. Friends and relatives of your hostess can go online and select the party they wish to shop from. These orders are not truly placed until the party order is submitted.
Are my expenses as a consultant tax-deductible?
Certain expenses are tax-deductible but you should speak to a tax advisor or accountant for help in determining your deductions.
What is a “qualified” party?
A “qualified” party is a party with $200 in retail sales (not including tax or shipping).
What is a “catalog party”?
A catalog party is a party where the hostess passes out catalogs to friends, family, and co-workers and takes the orders and payment. The hostess decides when to end the catalog party and then passes on the orders to me and I enter them online just like a home party. I will also set the party up online so that people can order directly online and pay by credit or debit card. I will provide you with emails that you can send out to your potential customers announcing your party and detailing how they can order.
Are consultants allowed to show Thirty-One products at trade shows, craft fairs, etc.?
Absolutely! In fact, you can receive a gift certificate towards the purchase of catalogs by participating in trade shows or fairs.
What resources exist for Thirty-One consultants?
Thirty-One’s website for consultants has a tremendous amount of resources which include trainings, files, party tips, ordering guides, and so much more. As I mentioned earlier, there is a yahoo group of Thirty-One consultants that is a wonderful resources for ideas, support, encouragement, advice, and files that will help you to succeed in your new business!
