Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Let everyone know you are starting a new business! Never underestimate how interesting you are and what you have to share. There are hundreds of people in your life with whom you can spread the word as you work to realize your dreams of business and personal achievement. Aside from the obvious family, friends, neighbors, and business associates, think about others you have contact with on a continuing basis … your hair dresser, barista, child’s sports team parents, teachers, etc. Please refer to the “Start Up Costs and Options” for detailed information.

HOW DO I BOOK SHOWS?

Wear the products, carry our purse & wallet, always have catalogs, and ASK everyone you know to help you as you launch your new business. Concentrate first on your family and immediate circle of friends. Pick up the phone and get your business rolling. Plan a huge “Kick Off” show, Open House, or Grand Opening Event. Offer a 5% discount or “discount price” to everyone who places an order at your grand opening. Ask each person as you write up their order if they would like to get 50% off their highest priced item by booking their own home show.

HOW DO I SET UP FOR A SHOW?

Attractively displaying your merchandise is a key to success. Practice different ways to display your merchandise … and make sure your guests have easy access to a mirror!

HOW DO I START A SHOW?

Not all of your guests will arrive at the same time so please plan for that. Do whatever feels comfortable for you … place a sash belt on a guest as they enter; decorate a guest’s hair with an appropriate accessory; show a guest how well a pair of earrings/bracelets matches their outfit. Be interactive! Also, please make sure that you try different things on yourself and your hostess and guests during the show. The products will speak for themselves! Another idea is to “select” one or two people at the start of the show to “model” throughout the evening. In exchange, you could offer them any item at half price at the end of the show.

ARE THERE ANY MONTHLY QUOTAS TO MEET?

NO! A wonderful thing about this business is that as a Consultant and Senior Consultant you can buy just one item and still receive the same discount of 50%. The company requires that for you to remain an active consultant, you must purchase a minimum of $350.00 in wholesale merchandise per calendar year. When you have achieved Unit Manager, Director, Senior Director and Executive Director level, there is a minimum monthly purchase required for you to receive your earned rank commission.

HOW DOES THE CORPORATE OFFICE KNOW HOW MUCH I MADE AT MY SHOWS?

T.F.A. In-Home, Inc. does not know how much you are selling, rather calculations are based only on how much you have purchased from the company. Once you have increased your inventory to a level that is comfortable for you then you should start paying yourself from the profit you make each time you do a show. How much you pay yourself and how much you reinvest back into your business is a personal decision that should be decided by you.

HOW DO I PAY MY HOSTESS AT THE END OF THE SHOW?

Please refer to the Hostess Advantage program page on the website for specific guidelines regarding hostess compensation.

CAN I RETURN WHAT I DON’T SELL?

You have 72 hours to return any merchandise from the date of receipt of your merchandise.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE?

The amount of money you earn is entirely up to you. It is based on your effort and willingness to work the business. Your net profit from the sale of the products is, at minimum, 50%. You can earn more then that depending on the products you select for your inventory!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BECOME A CONSULTANT?

Becoming an Independent Consultant with T.F.A. In-Home is easy! You must purchase merchandise totaling a minimum of $350 in wholesale pricing. That guarantees you a minimum of $700 in retail merchandise. See our Start Up Costs page for further details.

ARE THE PRODUCTS GUARANTEED?

All T.F.A. In-Home products are 100% quality guaranteed. We will not exchange or accept a return of products due to normal wear and tear.

HOW DO I PLACE ORDERS?
