I have received many questions about this Big Shot special, so today I wanted to share some of them. Please feel free to contact me if your question is not answered here. I would love to have YOU join my team. Right now until the end of October you will get a FREE Big Shot Die Cutting Machine or your choice of $100.00 of any Stampin' Up! products when you join the Stampin' Up! family of demonstrators. This is a super great deal! To make it even sweeter, joining my team will also get you into the raffle for my M.A.D.I. fundraiser and also the free email class...this is so exciting!
Questions and Answers:
Q: What are the minimum sales requirements?
A: You only have to submit $300 in sales per quarter. Hold at least one workshop a month, and you’ll not only cover your sales minimum, you’ll also be able to pay for some of your own hobby as well. Also, you can submit your sales in any increment you wish & still get your discount and commission.
Q: What if I only want to do this as a hobby. Do I still have to have workshops?
A: Absolutely not!! Stampin' Up! supports the hobby demonstrator just as well as the career demonstrator. You can put in your own order or collect orders from family & friends to equal the $300 a quarter minimum.
Q: Can I be my own Hostess?
A: Yes, you can be your own Hostess anytime you want. You can invite your family & friends into your own home and have a workshop. You would be the Hostess, receiving the Hostess benefits, & you would also be the demonstrator receiving your instant income & commission.
Q: How much does it cost to get started as a Demonstrator?
A: The Standard Starter Kit is only $175 plus tax (shipping is free!). It includes everything you will need to get your business up and running, including stamp sets, ink, paper, catalogs, order forms, training video, etc. In addition, during October you have an extra 100.00 of Stampin'Up! Product of your choice or a Big Shot Die Cutting Machine!
Q: What if I decide that I don't like it once I've started. Will I be penalized if I quit or is there a certain time frame I have to be a demonstrator.
A: You can stop anytime you choose. You simply just stop putting in your minimum sales. Stampin' Up! may send you reminders that your sales are due, but there won’t be any repercussions except loss of demonstratorship. But I guarantee you once you get started you won't want to stop!!
Q: What kind of incentives can I earn as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator?
A: Stampin’ Up! offers so many benefits and incentives to demonstrators… here are a few:
1. In your first 3-4 months you have the opportunity to earn FREE stamp sets from the current catalog through a program called Stampin’ Start.
2. 30% off on your first $150 order if you place it within 45 days after signing up.

7. Receive our Stampin’ Success monthly magazine – includes great tips & techniques!
8. You can pre-order new sets before they’re available to customers.
Q: Do people really make money at this?
A: YES!! There are many demonstrators who make $5,000, $10,000 or even $15,000 plus a month. Also, every year there are cash awards given at convention for group and individual accomplishments. One is for Rising Stars…ONLY brand new demonstrators qualify for this one!!
Q: Do I have to recruit other demonstrators?
A: Of course not!! However, we have the opportunity to earn a residual income and recruiting is the best way to do this!
Q: How much support can I expect from my Upline?
A: You can expect to receive full training from me, including business tips, ideas, stamping techniques, and ongoing support through our Demo group. You will be part of my Girls, Ink team and I will be your biggest cheerleader for whatever goals you want to achieve with Stampin' Up!
Q: Where will I get my ideas for my workshops?
A: Stampin' Up! has many resources for demonstrators: The Idea Book/Catalog, the Stampin’ Up! web site, the monthly Stampin' Success magazine, training videos, Stampin' Discuss, and my web site. It is just fine to CASE (copy and steal everything!) to copy your projects from these sources and use them at your workshops. You do not have to do everything by yourself.
Q: Are there any Stampin' Up! Events that I can attend as a new demonstrator?
A: Yes, almost all of them!! Every year Stampin' Up! has its annual convention. It will be in Utah in July, 2012 and is 4 days long. Leadership training in January 2012 (in San Antonio this year!) is a fabulous event for those at Senior Supervisor level and above. If you want to achieve greatness with Stampin' Up! this is the event for you.
Q: How do I sign up?
Q: Do you really love what you do?
A: I absolutely LOVE what I do and I know you will, too. The friends I’ve made as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator are much more important than the money, trips, and other perks I've received!
Happy stamping!!
