FAQ's About Being a Consultant

1) What does a 30 Day Gourmet consultant do?

That's a question with lots of great answers! Just know first off that our consultant program is very "laid back". There are no mandatory meetings, no monthly sales requirements and (unfortunately) no pink Cadillacs to win. 30 Day Gourmet consultants simply share their cooking experiences with other people in a variety of ways and make a profit from selling our products. Many of our consultants have been very successful teaching community ed classes. Others teach primarily to women's groups or moms' groups. Some do actual cooking sessions where students pay a flat fee and take home several meals (along with a cookbook). We just try to encourage you to do what works for you and then help you along in the process.

2) How much money could I make?

If you teach a seminar with 25 attendees, you will probably sell at least $300 in merchandise which could earn you $135-$150. Not bad for a few hours spent talking about your favorite subject:)

3) What if I have a problem or need support?

Simply email us at: office@30daygourmet.com and we'll gladly help. We are also developing a section of our website for consultants only which will contain lots of info.  Our message boards contain a password protected section for our consultants where they share ideas and resources.

4) I only want to use the kit once. Is this ok?

Yes. There are no minimum sales or seminar requirements for our consultants. If you only plan to use the kit once, though, you might consider purchasing our Cook’s Party Package which includes 10 manuals and an apron for $149.95.

5) If I already have a binder or spiral bound version, do I still need to buy a kit?

Yes, we recommend you are up to date with the latest manuals. It is important to show what you are selling. You may sell the books and aprons once your seminar or event is over if you like.

6) Can I attend trade shows or conventions?

Yes, these are great ways to get the word out about your business. They usually involve a booth fee, which you would be responsible for.

7) Can I teach a seminar and then take orders?

Yes, but if you take orders, it is your responsibility to deliver them. If this is a problem you can purchase items in advance and make them readily available.

8) Do I need to charge sales tax?

When selling merchandise in your own state you are required to collect state sales tax and send that tax money to your state's Department of Revenue each month or each quarter. It's an easy form to fill out. To receive the forms, just call your Dept. of Revenue.

9) Can I pass the discount/commission on to others?

That is up to you. Some consultants prefer to charge the retail price and give the profits to their organizations or to their friends.

 10) My friend wants to host a party with me as the consultant. What can I do for her?

You could purchase a small hostess gift for her, remembering she is helping you expand your business. You could also buy her a manual or apron (you get a great discount!)

11) Am I allowed to charge an admission or class fee?

Yes, you are free to charge an admission fee whenever you wish. There may be times when you might choose to rent a facility or meeting room and may need to charge admission to cover those costs. 30 Day Gourmet has been well received at community education classes also. In is case, the class fee usually includes a Freezer Cooking Manual.

12) Do I get credit for purchases made directly to the 30 Day Gourmet website as a result of my party/seminar?

We are working on offering this incentive for our consultants. The 30 Day Gourmet website will soon have a consultant section where each consultant will have her own webpage. When your customers link to our shopping cart from your homepage you will receive a portion of the sale.

13) Do I get credit for signing up other consultants?

No, we don't work with uplinks and advisors. You are responsible for yourself. Maybe we'll try to "build the pyramid" at a later date.

14) Is this idea working for others?

We get feedback daily from women who are being asked to teach classes and seminars about 30 Day Gourmet cooking. This is a topic of great interest!! Here's what Paula from Minnesota had to say recently: "I've taught the 30 Day Gourmet class through our community education for a year now, and have had a wonderful response of enrollment in the class, and positive feedback about the cooking manual. I love the worksheets and layout of the recipes, and the access to additional recipes at their website. Nanci has been a real help to me when I place my orders for books as well! I always sell a few books outside of my classes when I end up telling friends about the cooking method that I do- someone is always interested in organizing this area of their life. Thanks, Tara and Nanci for putting this manual together!"
