The Gourmet Cupboard Opportunity
Wouldn't you like to sell a product that disappears and customers need more of???
We are a fairly new/unknown company and we are looking for distributors/consultants! This is a great opportunity to get in at the "Ground Floor" level.
The Gourmet
Cupboard offers mixes of all kinds -- beverages, breads, coffees & tea,
cookies and bars, desserts, dips, meals, main dishes, seasonings, side
dishes, soups, teas, and more. And they have sugar free mixes --
made with Splenda -- and they are good!
Sugar free mixes give us access to a
market segment that has been largely ignored by most direct sales companies.
Start your business for
basically FREE!
This
great opportunity costs you $25 to sign up... BUT YOU determine how that
$25 is spent.
Order a few catalogs and mixes (at wholesale) that you want to sample
and start selling right away!
If you don't spend the $25 on your first order, the remainder will be applied as
a credit on your next order.
We're a growing company with less than 1000 active distributors -- where else can you find an opportunity with this much potential?
Earn $1.50 per mix
(at company suggested prices) -- you can set your own prices
If you choose to
sell at the recommended retail price, the consultant commission is $1.50 per
mix.
You can choose to raise your prices to increase your profit.
Earn 5 - 10% on your recruit's purchases (paid in either cash or credit -- your choice)
During your
first year with the company, you get 5% of your recruits purchases (as
long as you are active) - paid in either cash or credits -- your choice.
On your first anniversary, your commission increases to 10%.
Fundraisers earn 50% or more
Several
different options (selections of mixes) for the fundraiser to sell.
Free shipping on fundraisers of $1500 or more.
No limits on how you sell -- home & book parties, internet, craft shows, retail, etc
You can sell
for several different companies at the same time -- no limitations.
Hostess Benefits are paid by the company
The
hostess can earn up to 15% of party sales -- all paid by the company in mixes.
Earn FREE product with your orders
You
earn a FREE mix with each $50 wholesale spent.
For example, a $150 wholesale order earns you 3 FREE mixes and the numbers go up
with additional purchases.
Monthly Specials
Each
month they run a special available to distributors.
You can use this special for extra profits or you can pass it along to your
customers. Your choice.
Sometimes it's a price reduction on mixes. Other months it
is buy and get one free.
I offer this special to my customers in my monthly newsletter to thank them for
their business, but it's not required.
Home
Distributors
Buy $200 wholesale each period. The periods are January - June and
July - December.
When you join in the middle of a period, you are exempt from this requirement for that period. Your $200 requirement starts the next period.
Retail Distributors
No
period minimums. There is a $100
wholesale minimum opening order and $50.00 each order after that.
Mixes of the
Month Club (optional)
All
of the above is still available to you. But you don't have to
sell. Just buy $200 wholesale in a 6 month period. And we
make that easy by providing a Mixes of the Month Club.
For only $35 a month (includes shipping), the company will send you a different
selection of mixes each month.
All you need to do is provide a credit/debit card number and sit back and be
surprised each month.
So to stay active, you can choose your own mixes ($200 wholesale plus shipping)
or the Mixes of the Month Club ($35 a month which includes shipping).

More FAQs:
Where is the company located? Sour Lake, Texas
Do I have to pay my own sales tax? Yes, if your state requires it -- all you need to do is obtain a FREE resellers tax permit -- and it's usually good for 5 years (varies by state). Keep track of sales tax collected and send it in every 3 months or once a year. The government will send you the appropriate forms when it is due. It's very very simple to do. I've had one of these for about 10 years. Sales tax is only collected on sales within your state. And you may not need to report depending on the level of your sales. Check out the web site for the Department of Revenue in your state.
Do I earn money on the consultants I sponsor? Absolutely! 5% the first year and 10% thereafter as long as you stay active.
Do I have to pay for hostess gifts? No. The company pays for your hostess benefits.
Do I have to sell a minimum each month to remain a consultant? No. As long as you purchase $200 wholesale each period, you are considered active. Periods are defined as January - June and July - December. Your first period is your "free" period -- you don't have to meet the minimum - just place an order. This gives you a up to a whole year to build your business depending on when you join.
Do I have to inventory product and deliver it to my customers? No. You don't have to purchase any inventory. They warehouse all the products and can ship directly to you or your hostess. It is your personal choice if you want to maintain a small inventory. Also the company will drop ship directly to the customer for small orders, but there is a minimum shipping charge.
Why do I have to pay $25 up front? The company had a free sign up- just place an order policy. But too many people abused it. Way too many applicants signed up, placed an order and then never paid. The company spent time packaging their order to determine the least expensive shipping, invoicing, and then multiple followups. It was just too costly to continue -- they were restocking up to 10 orders a day. Or they would sign up and then never order -- again time was spent processing these people. This $25 is applied to your order. If your order is less than $25, then it is held over to be used toward your next order.
Do I have to pay with certified funds? No, they accept checks, money orders, PayPal, Discover, Visa or Mastercard.
What are the hostess benefits? The hostess receives 5, 10 or 15% in FREE product depending on the size of her party.
Do I have to purchase a website? No -- but web sites are available if you want one.
Can I sell to retail stores? Yes! You may resell your product to coffee shops , retail stores, internet stores or whoever. OR you can sign up these retail stores as retail distributors and you'll earn commission on their purchases!
Can retailers sign up to be distributors? Yes! You can! You must provide certain information to prove that you are a business (this is on the application form). For retail distributors, there is a minimum $100 wholesale opening order and $50 orders after that. There will not be a period minimum to meet. Order as you need product.
Will the company ship to APO addresses? Yes! Orders will be shipped vis USPS. So distributors in the military can sell our products anywhere!
Will the company ship to other countries? Yes -- if UPS ships there! So you can become a distributor outside the US.
Are there other reasons I should sign up with The Gourmet Cupboard? Yes! You can earn FREE mixes with your orders!
How can I sign up? I would love to have you on my team and will be available for any and all questions and to help you get started. Just go to www.The GourmetCupboard.com and complete the application. Be sure to put my name (Deb Templeton) as your sponsor. I want you on my team!
