Become A Consultant

May Sign Up Special! Sign up and order at least the $300 Small Starter Kit and I will give you a rebate of $30, as well as $25 in free product to get you started!  Consultants earn 45% commission! Right now is a great time to get started, too, since many states have very few, if any, Paparazzi Consultants. A little info can be found here. I am happy to answer any questions through email or by phone if you need help!  (I also have some more affordable options, let me know if you'd like details!)



How do I become a Paparazzi Jewelry consultant?

• You can become a consultant for $40.00 (this gets you independent consultant status, and allows you to start purchasing products). You can then pick and choose the pieces you want from the large selection of 5 piece sets.
  
  
  
• HOWEVER, the best value is to sign up with a starter kit ! The starter kits are the BEST VALUE and can only be purchased when you first sign up. The $40 consultant fee is INCLUDED in all starter kits, making it an even better value! The options for Starter kits are as follows:
  

•  
  • Small Home Party Kit – Jewelry Only - $300.00 includes 100 pcs of jewelry (no hair accessories), 50 sales bags, 25 display hooks, 25 party invitations, 25 receipts, 5 new consultant applications, 5 comp plan brochures, jewelry repair kit

How do I sign up?
www.paparazziaccessories.com/3768 Click on “become” at the bottom of the page. Scroll down to the bottom of the next page and click on “getting started”. Choose the starter kit you would like to purchase. Keeping in mind that any option you choose is a good one, my recommendation is to purchase at least a Small Home Party Kit. With the smaller options you may not have enough to do your first party. What happens is you will get your jewelry and be sooo excited that you call your friends and family to come and see how cute it is! By the time they are done buying all the pieces they need, there won’t be enough left to do a party! IT’S TRUE, I promise it happens EVERY TIME! Once you have chosen your starter kit, click on the option in the bottom left that says “become a consultant”. It will ask you for a sponsor I.D. # and you need to enter 3768. After this it will ask for your payment information and then you will be assigned your own consultant id # and have access to your back office. Your back office is where you can find all information regarding your Paparazzi business. It will keep track of your orders, your down line, contact information etc. Look around and become familiar with the information available to you.

Frequently asked questions –

• 
  Is there nickel in the jewelry?
  
  • No (with that being said, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any nickel and lead in the jewelry, it means that they meet the requirements for the amount that’s allowed to be in it.)
    
• Can I see a catalog or order online?
            No – because each consultant is responsible for ordering their own inventory and Paparazzi jewelry is ever changing to keep up with the fashion and trends, there are no catalogs or online shopping available. Paparazzi consultants only are allowed access to the back office area to order jewelry.
  
  Can I charge more than $5 for the jewelry?
  

• • Yes, you can charge as much as you want, but not LESS than $5!
    

Now that you have joined:

How to place an order?
Log in to your back office. Look at your options tab and click on “my orders”.Next click on “new order”. You will see a list of options to the left hand side (necklaces, bracelets, earrings etc….blockbuster necklaces, blockbuster earrings etc.) Click on the option you would like to order from. In the “blockbuster” options, you will get 5 of the same piece of jewelry. In the regular options, you will get 5 different pieces of jewelry. You can view the pieces of jewelry that are included in any particular kit by clicking on the picture next to the kit.

• Special Pull – If there is any particular item that you may want multiple of, you can call or email Paparazzi and request a special pull. There is a $10.00 fee to do this, but you can hand pick up to 25 items of your choosing.
  

There is a $10 flat rate for shipping ($20 for Alaska & Hawaii) on all orders $400.00 or less. All orders above $400.00 are free shipping! Please plan on two to three days for your orders to be processed and shipped.
Damaged Jewelry/Warranty –
If you receive jewelry from Paparazzi that is broken or damaged, you have three days to contact Paparazzi to receive a credit. I was told that you can take a picture of the damaged jewelry and email Paparazzi and they would credit your account.
As far as jewelry you sell to your customers, it is up to you what kind of warranty/refund you are willing to do. Most of the problem we have with jewelry “breaking”, is the “o” rings opening up and that is a simple, quick fix. We have had very few actual breaks that cannot be fixed.
Recommendations:

• Open a separate checking account for your Paparazzi business.
  
• Get a business card with all your contact information on it and put a card in EVERY bag you give to your customers. I purchased mine at www.vistaprint.com .
  
• Spread the word! Let your family and friends know about your exciting new business venture!
  
• BE EXCITED! Your enthusiasm will be contagious! If you believe in it, others will too!
  
• Stay POSITIVE! Have fun with this! Some parties are going to be huge hits and some will be huge flops, but every party is an opportunity to meet new people and introduce them to your awesome new business!
  
• Remind your clients that your inventory changes regularly and that every time they come to one of your parties you will have new inventory for them to preview! That also means that an item they see at one party may not be available at another party!
  

Maintaining Active Consultant Status:

• Order at least 200 PV (personal volume) of inventory within the previous twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.
  

•  
  • To remain eligible for commissions you must purchase at least 50 pv (25 pieces) per month.
    

Commissions/Profit –

• You earn a 45% profit off each piece of jewelry you sell. You can also earn commissions from your down line (consultants you sign up). 5% commission is earned from each consultant until you have 3 signed up at which point you will earn 10% commission for each piece of jewelry those consultants order. If they sign up consultants you earn 5% of those jewelry orders. As you advance in rank you are eligible for other commissions.
  

• GV = Group Volume and is the volume of jewelry purchased through your down line. Your PV (personal volume) is not included in this total. Rank advancements are determined by your GV. The higher in rank you are, the higher your commissions will be. The Paparazzi commission plan is shown below and is also available in your starter packet and the Paparazzi website.
  

Paparazzi is really starting to take off! Everyone is excited about it and taking advantage of this great business opportunity! DON’T GET DISCOURAGED! There is plenty of opportunity for everyone! Work hard and fast at building your down line. Get those initial three under you as soon as possible. Tell your friends, family, anyone you know who might be interested about this amazing business. Don’t count anybody out! Never assume whether someone is interested until you have at least told them about the opportunity! Search out and be open to different opportunities. Don’t wait for others to come to you, be comfortable and confident in what you are doing and let others know what an AMAZING business you are building! IT TAKES ACTION TO GET A REACTION! It will be the most determined and persistent that succeed, it will be YOU!

Think outside the box. It doesn’t always have to be about the home show, or a boutique. Take a basket of jewelry with you to work and set it on your desk. Send one with your husband, friend, or family member. Have some in your car! Wear your jewelry! You are your own BEST marketing tool! Make sure to take advantage of the Holidays! Who wouldn’t want to by fabulous gifts for their friends and family at our AMAZING price!?!

Taxes –
When you purchase jewelry from Paparazzi you will be charged sales tax on the RETAIL price of $5.00 even though you are purchasing it for a wholesale price of $2.75. Paparazzi takes care of reporting/filing all the sales tax so you don’t have to. We recoup that extra charge by adding .50 cents on to each item we sell to cover the sales tax charge and shipping.
You are responsible for filing income taxes for the income you make on the jewelry. This would be the difference between the $2.75 you pay for it and the price you sell it for. There are no restrictions on how much you can charge for the jewelry other than you cannot charge LESS than $5.00.
