What kind of products does this company offer? A lifetime of experience has gone into creating the Little Black Dress Fashion Jewelry Collection. Each design is handcrafted with elements such as natural gemstones, triple grade “A” cubic zirconia, and solid sterling silver. Our company’s strict quality control inspection is second to none. And the custom designed, prestige packaging program is the perfect finishing touch! Our jewelry is not only affordable, but it's also very exclusive. Little Black Dress has formed iron-clad agreements with our manufacturing partners to produce my designs entirely for Little Black Dress. That means the designs in our collection are available ONLY from Little Black Dress Consultants.

Start Up Costs: Consultant Training Kit is $35. In addition, the company recommends a minimum $500 (wholesale) purchase of jewelry however you set your business goals and then choose your level of investment.

Are there monthly minimums that must be met? No, you set your own business goals. As an Independent Consultant you are your own boss. You choose to work full-time or part-time; you decide whether you will specialize in building your team, or focus on jewelry parties, office shows, or fund raising events.

How can you sell your products? Home shows, office shows, vendor events, expos, fund raising events or one-on-one shopping appointments with your clients.

What is the commission? Consultants earn a net profit of 50% on each piece of jewelry sold. Consultants can also earn by signing up new Consultants. After a Consultant sponsors 3 new Consultants, a monthly commission check may be paid to the sponsor (by the company) based on the personal volume of the new Consultant. Besides the money earned through jewelry sales and/or commissions, the company also acknowledges each Consultant with awards, recognition and prizes through ongoing Little Black Dress contests, incentive programs and the annual company seminar. There are always new things to learn, prizes to win, and places to go at Little Black Dress.

Can I offer my customers a Product Guarantee: Within 60 days of purchase, any item with manufacturing defect, will be repaired or replaced without cost upon its return to Little Black Dress. If the 60-day period has passed, a service fee of $10 will apply to each repairable item. If the item is not able to be repaired, a returned item will be replaced with the same. If an item has been discontinued or is not available, the customer may choose one of equal value. If an item of greater value is chosen, the difference in retail price plus sales tax will apply.

Is there a yearly convention? Yes; 1 day each June.

Is there a training program?: On going training as well as mentoring is provided to you by your sponsor.

Do you need previous experience selling jewelry?: The plain truth is that anyone can do it. There are no education levels, university degrees, or previous sales experience required... just a willingness to show friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors the beautiful jewelry. People from all backgrounds and of all ages are successful in direct sales.

Is there a future in this business?: According to the Direct Selling Association, “Sales in the US have doubled in the last decade to nearly $25 billion and are now more than $82 billion worldwide. 55% of Americans have purchased goods or services through direct sales.” Their research also states that “People value the products available through direct selling and 45 percent of Americans want to buy from direct sellers. Many people start part-time and later leave their other careers when direct selling becomes more lucrative.”
