| Tupperware Representative |
| What do you do? |

| Do you work for a company that provides training materials and company leadership? |
| Tupperware gives you a lot of support. The person who signed me up made money when I need money. So she really really helped me to be good at selling. In fact, she came with me to my first few parties and helped. |
| I run this business: |
| Part-time Work-from-home Flexible Schedule |
| How many hours a week do you work at your business? |
| Less than 20 hours a week Flexible |
| When do you work? |
| Nights Weekends Flexible |
| How much control do you have over your work schedule? |
| Mostly people want to have parties on the weekends. Sometimes you can have a party at someone’s job in a break room in an afternoon. But, mostly you will work evenings and weekends. This is good if you have a husband to watch your kid. But it is also kind of bad because you are working when he is at home. My husband did not like that. |
| Could I bring my child or pet to work? |
| Maybe, it depends on the circumstances |
| More Details |
| A lot of the work you are doing is not at the party. There is a lot of follow up to get more orders and organizing things. This is done at home. So no problem with childcare then. |

| How much did you have to invest to start this business? |
| The kit cost, I think $100. You pay a down payment of $39. But you get $350 worth of Tupperware. It wasn’t exactly what I would have picked, but they knew what they were doing. It with a good assortment of the kind of thing that it is good to be able to demonstrate. They had a deal when I signed up so that if I sold so much in the first two months, I didn’t have to pay for the rest of my kit. Just the $39. |
| After expenses, about how much money is your business earning? |
| You get 35% of everything you sell. You do have to buy any prizes or things you give away at the parties. |
| How long did it take to break even? |
| I earned back my $39 with the first party. And made a profit. I did not have to pay off the kit, because I sold enough so that they gave it to me for free. |
| Job Requirements: What skills does this job require? |
| You have to be very organized and a go-getter. I had just moved to the area, so I didn’t have any friends to start with. I walked around my neighborhood knocking on doors to get some of my neighbors to have my first parties. I cut up old catalogs and made posters to hang in the laundromat and on the bulletin board in some apartment buildings near me. That worked great! I got my first parties and booked new parties through each of them. Many people would have a party every six months. I’m transcribing |
