Do Paparazzi Consultants Earn Commissions?

Yes.  Paparazzi Consultants earn a 35% to 45% commission on every item they sell.  It doesn't matter where you sell it, the commission is the same. Sponsors also earn commission from your sales.  Don't worry, they don't get a cut of your commission.  Instead Paparazzi Accessories issues the commission from their cut. This is one of the best features of their program because in many direct sales or MLM business models, your upline gets a cut of your paycheck.  This is why many consultants go it alone.  There is never any pressure to recruit others into the business.  Not only do you have the same opportunity as top level performers but you don't have to rely upon making a profit off of someone else's back. Finally, commissions is just one way to get paid.  When you sell direct to your customers you get paid by cash or credit.  At Trish's Paparazzi we take many forms of payment including most online payment solutions. Are you thinking...

Can Paparazzi Consultants Sell Jewelry for Less Than Five Dollars?

After the initial product or inventory is purchased, no product can be resold or retailed for less than the suggested retail price (no product under $5 USD). This includes, but is not limited to, offering or advertising free items through buy X, get X promotions or giving free gifts with a purchase. This same policy applies whether the free promotional item being offered is a Paparazzi product or a product not carried in Paparazzi’s inventory. Offering or advertising these types of promotions lowers the retail price of each piece sold below the required $5 USD minimum. Doing so compromises the entire Paparazzi program for all Consultants. Any promotion of a Consultant’s independent business or the Paparazzi opportunity through any channel of communication (public or private) is considered advertising. On rare occasions and with prior written approval by an official Paparazzi officer, a consultant may request to sell items at more than the $5.00 recommended retail price. Any exc...

How are Taxes Managed by the Paparazzi Consultant?

Sales Tax You will be charged sales tax (based on your shipping address) on the retail value of each piece you  order. Paparazzi is required to do this. This is intended to ensure that each state tax agency is made  whole on any potential sales from the transactions of that wholesale product. The sales tax is charged at the local level of the place where the order is shipped. Paparazzi collects these taxes at the time of wholesale inventory purchase and remits it to the state on behalf of the Retail Sale that the Consultant may now have. This also allows the Paparazzi Consultant the option of charging their local taxes on their Customer transactions and recuperate that cost, or absorbing it into their business structure; while at the same time not bringing any uncovered sales tax liability on Paparazzi or the Consultant. I ncome Tax As an independent contractor, Independent Consultants will receive an IRS Form 1099 (Non-Employee Compensation) earnings statement if t...

Is Training Provided for New Paparazzi Consultants?

Any Consultant who sponsors another Consultant into Paparazzi must perform a bonafide assistance and training function to ensure that his/her organization is properly operating their Paparazzi business and that they are in full compliance with local and federal laws, and the Paparazzi Agreement. Consultants are expected to support, train, and mentor other Consultants in the organization to help them build success. It is expected that sponsoring Consultants be available to be contacted, attend meetings, and support their organizations. Failure to do so will result in a lack of personal success within the Company. Thinking about becoming a Consultant?  I would love to answer your questions.  Learn More   -  Trish
