I love being a Close To My Heart Consultant! It’s one of the best decisions I ever made, and I want to invite you to join my Team and get in on the fun! But before you do I’m sure you have lots of questions. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
1. Can you tell me more about yourself and your Team?
Absolutely!
I am a wife, mother of two girls, and CTMH consultant since 2002. For me, being a consultant means that I can make being creative (which is therapeutic) a priority. Having access to all the goods at a discount makes me even happier! At first, I was just a hobbyist but then I realized I could make a bit more money if I was willing to step out of my comfort zone just a bit and share what I have learned with others. Then, there was an opportunity to earn a Mediterranean Cruise in 2008. I took the challenge and made it happen. Since then I have earned a trip to Costa Rica and am working on a trip to Puert Vallarta. Whether you want a discount, a little extra income or an all inclusive FREE vacation, CTMH has a place for you!
My team of Evergreen Memories is a solid team with a total longevity of over 50 years. We are small (looking to grow) and mighty group. I am delighted to say that these women have become my friends and supporters as we have shared many life events together. They challenge me to grow every day. Sharing ideas and inspiration, offering workshops and events together, and just having crafty time brings enriches our friendships.
2. What is the cost of the New Consultant Kit, and what comes in it?

You receive all the essential business tools you need to get started—in a handy organizer—PLUS $50 in FREE Select Product Credit so you can choose your own creative products. It’s a great value on the tools you need, with free credit toward the fun products you want!

6. What are the sales requirements for Consultants?
To remain an active Consultant you must submit $300 in sales per calendar quarter. You are not required to meet the sales requirements during your first quarter; this is considered a grace period to allow you additional time to get your business up and running. The first quarter you would be required to meet the minimum sales requirements is the next quarter after you sign up.

Our calendar quarters are a period of three consecutive months, beginning in January. There are four quarters per year, as follows:

9. Am I required to keep an inventory of products?
No. We recommend ordering products as you and your customers need them, rather than investing lots of money up front. This means you can begin a home-based business for very little start-up cost! It’s one of the most affordable business models in the world.
