Do I have to recruit other demonstrators?
Having a downline is not a requirement, it is a perk - we have the opportunity to earn a commission based on our downline’s sales! As I am also a downline, I have the support and encouragement from my team. This is cascaded and shared from top to bottom!
What are the minimum sales requirements?
What are the minimum sales requirements?
To stay active as a demonstrator, you will need to sell a minimum of £250 per quarter in commissionable sales. This is reducing to £225 from October 2011. Most demonstrators find that this goal can be reached in one or two workshops per quarter–or with their own purchases. Your first quarterly target doesn’t start until the first full quarter after you join, ie if you join on 1 January, you do not have to have meet your first minimum target until 30 June – so it can actually be up to six months to start with.
What if I only want to do this as a hobby? Do I still have to do workshops?
What if I only want to do this as a hobby? Do I still have to do workshops?
No. Stampin’ Up! supports all demonstrators in the same way, regardless of how big or small their business is - you only need to do workshops if you want to. You can put in your own orders or collect orders from family & friends.
Do I have to hold stocks of product?
Do I have to hold stocks of product?
No. You will only order items when someone places an order and pays you in advance, so you won’t need to keep stock of products and no chasing payment either.

What if I decide it’s not for me once I’ve started? Will I be penalised if I quit?
What if I decide it’s not for me once I’ve started? Will I be penalised if I quit?
Once you've paid for your Starter Kit, it's yours keep regardless. However, as you are part of a vibrant team and with a few months grace period before your commitment to achieve the quarterly target, the team will offer you support and advice to get you kick-started. If you still feel the same, let me know and once you have stopped placing orders, your commitment to Stampin' Up! ends. Of course, there is always an opportunity to re-start should you wish.
