| Intimacy Specialist Frequently Asked Questions |
If you are thinking about becomming an Intimacy Specialist we want to answer all of your questions upfront. Unlike many party companies in the adult industry for direct selling, product quality is our highest concern and ensuring consumers feel they receive value for their time spent.
We also consider an Intimacy Specialist's time valuable and want to ensure our Specialists are well educated about the products they sell and why we don't do low-end run-of-the-mill products.
How do I get started and get parties booked?
First have your own party! Think of your friends, work associates, married couples, singles, folks you do business with and family as your party guests. You may be able to have enough for a few parties. Since most parties usually generate 2 bookings, you will be well on your way to booking parties in no time. Plus we will generate party leads for you in your area from our website. We also provide you different marketing ways to increase your bookings.
Why start off in the home party business?
With the innovative new manufacturers in the adult novelty market today, quality and interesting products are more important to informed consumers more than ever. However, the adult industry is one area that many people feel uncomfortable finding out facts for product purchases and understanding quality in lubricants to sex furniture.
Our customers are attending our parties because they are uncomfortable visiting an adult store or ordering adult novelties online. You will provide a comfortable setting where your customers will learn about relationship enhancement products that are high quality and will open up comminication, increase sexual pleasure, and perhaps make them more informed about future adult novelty product purchases. They can touch, taste, feel, and smell the products as well as ask questions in the safe and fun atmosphere of your party. Many of your customers will tell you how helpful the information is and thank you for enriching their lives. You will become their personal Intimacy Specialist that may insure future sales.
What are the different products I need to offer?
Intimate Pleasure Parties product lines offers a wide variety of high quality sensual, unique, and fun adult products. We don't have hundreds of products like other companies, we offer quality that has been tested by staff and customers. Products include: lubricants, massage oils, books, DVD's. vibrators, dildos, stimulants for both men and women, cock rings, masturbation toys and even adult sex furnture. Our prices are extremly competivite to adult brick and mortar retailers as well as on-line stores.
What makes Intimate Pleasure Parties a more attractive organization than others?
We offer two programs for Intimacy Specialist - our getting started program and our well established program. This allows flexibility in the way you want to do business.
In our getting started program, you earn a 40% discount (from suggested retail pricing in Intimate Pleasure Parties literature.) This allows you to establish your starter kit. This may not be the highest discounts on home party plans, but with the other firms you are not dealing with the highest quality products either. We like to keep our prices competative, which means to the consumer a standard retail markup (not 300%) because they are buying from a home party company. You will receive details on the programs once you have shown us interest in IPP.
Our well established program allows you greater discounts on kits and other inventory as well. We are not your "traditional" multi-level home party company based off of the way Amway developed its tiered direct selling programs. We don't charge you a fee to get started like some other companies either.
What about specials, or contests to earn product or more money?
We also have quarterly product specials, bonuses for high producers, contests, special items at a higher than 40% discount and bonuses for recruiting. All of our specialists are independent and equal. We invite you to join us if you work for another home party plan that sells a totally different products not associated with the adult genre. For example, if you sell jewelry, cosmetics, home entertaining, clothing such as bra's and panties, or nightware is acceptable as well, you are welcome to join IPP. It really is about complementary types of products that fit your customers.
Do I have to be a woman to be a consultant?
No - you just need to be human, unless you have a very talented monkey that can sell. Seriously though, we do not discriminate when it comes to gender. All we request is that you maintain a professional ses positive image and enjoy education people about human sexuality. You will create a fun and comfortable party environment while making money at the same time. We welcome couples as Intimacy Specialists as well. Nothing like two different view points to really inform customers.
Where can I sell?
Anywhere you like. It is easiest to sell in a 50 to 100 mile region of your own home just to keep travel expenses to a minimum.
Can I advertise my business on the Internet?
There is no need to do your own advertising on the Internet. We will forward leads to you from our main website. However, it is advisable to get your name out there that you set up some free advertising through blogs, myspace, a yahoo home page, postings on tribe or craigslist etc. Even local on-line free yellow page advertising may result in leads.
Be sure this address appears on all of your sales materials and business cards. Our Intimate Pleasure Parties website, provides access to online ordering. More features will be available soon. All are FREE.
Do I have to recruit other people to earn more?
No you do not! However, by building your network and recruiting other Intimacy Specialists we do reward you for your effort. As we first mentioned, your time is valuable to us. We offer a generaous hostess gift program, and rewards for recruiting and mentoring.
Do my recruits have sales quotas?
No! You immediately receive 5% of your very first recruit's orders. You continue to receive 5% of your recruit's orders as long as you both are active. You also receive a bonus for each qualifying recruit. Not only that, but we have an Intimate Team Plan to assist you in building a team and earning more!
How do I become a very high earner?
Direct selling is a called a simple sale. The more bookings you get, the more you sell, the more you earn. Either someone wants to buy the product or they do not. Just like anything you do have to work at it to increase your customer base. If you have moved into the "Well Established Program" we will consider you as potentially doing business to business selling at Intimate Associates if that is your interest.
Can I handle public speaking?
Our products tend to sell themselves. Your sales do not depend on your educational presentation alone. It is as easy as show and tell. To assist you in your business, we provide you with training materials. Guests will appreciate you for educating them in a discrete and comfortable home atmosphere. Your nervousness will disappear as a result of the positive and fun reaction from your customers. More importantly, we offer you some warm-up games that will not only ease the guests, but get you on a roll. After each party you will feel gratified you have provided this special personal private shopping service and have helped others improve their intimate relationships. |
