Overview
Tupperware has been in business for over 50 years. They sell storage products of all shapes and sizes for all kinds of items in the kitchen. They are so popular that even competing products are called “Tupperware” by consumers. Most customers do not know that they even sell children’s toys, cutlery and even kitchen utensils.

Well, enough of a history lesson. My goal is to review Tupperware as a business model so you can make an informed business decision and determine if this opportunity is right for your home based business.

What are the expenses?
To become a Tupperware consultant, there are two business kits you can choose from. The first kit is called the Business Kit and it costs $79.99. You get $330 worth of products with the Business Kit. The most expensive kit called the Executive Business Kit is $119.99. You will receive $470 worth of products to sell with this kit.

Tupperware also offers its advisors an optional pre-built website that will cost $15.95 per month.

The Tupperware Compensation Plan
A Tupperware dealer must have at least $250 in sales within 4 consecutive months to maintain active status with the company. If you become inactive you can reactivate your distributor status for $10. But by becoming inactive, you lose your entire downline. So if you decide to commit to this opportunity, you definitely want to make an effort to stay active so you don’t risk losing your downline.

As a Tupperware Consultant, you earn a 25% commission on all products you sell. If you are paid by credit card, Tupperware will pay you the second Monday after the order is shipped.

As a distributor, you may qualify for the following bonuses based on certain conditions of sale:
1. Exceed $1,200 in sales and then receive a 5% bonus.
2. Exceed $3,200 in sales and then receive a 10% bonus.

To become a Tupperware Manager, the following conditions must be met:
1. You personally recruit 3 Tupperware consultants.
2. $2,000 in team sales are earned in one month.
3. You personally earn $500 in sales in a month.

As a Tupperware manager, you are now qualified to earn a commission from your team. Commissions range from 4% to 8%. The commission payout percentage is based on the number of consultants in your team and their sales performance.

Like many other MLM companies, the amount of income you make depends on your performance, the performance of your team, and the number of people you recruit. For example, to reach the Director level, your team must reach $10,000 in team volume. Your team is made up of you and the people you personally recruited.

It is also important to note that Tupperware implements a staggered separation plan. This means that if someone in your downline outsells you in a certain period of time, they can leave your team to start their own team. This means that you will no longer receive commissions from this high performer.

How are leads generated?
While there are many effective ways to apply effective marketing concepts to generate endless leads through the Internet, many Tupperware consultants get the majority of their clients through something called house parties or house shows where a potential client chooses to organize a party. The client will invite her friends. The Tupperware consultant will then drive to this person’s home to sell products, recruit potential team members, and see if other people at the home show would like to schedule a show in their own home.

Training
Your team manager, the person who recruited you, is responsible for providing personalized training. There is an incentive to make sure they are properly trained because their financial success means they will receive a commission for their performance.

Tupperware does not offer webinars. After researching many companies, I found that webinars were a standard feature offered to their distributors. This was a nice feature as it gave distributors the added option of receiving additional training from other established leaders in the company.

Additionally, there are many people who would like to attend informative webinars so they can learn about the Tupperware business before committing. Well, because there are no Tupperware webinars offered, these people will not be able to attend these informative webinars. Through experience, I’ve found that it really helps when companies offer that extra level of service with a purely informational webinar for those prospects who are considering an opportunity but haven’t yet committed. I’ve found this to be a great way for people who haven’t yet engaged to get their questions answered. You’ve been known to call reps to answer your questions, but I’ve always found it great to be in a meeting with like-minded people because there was always the chance that someone would think of a useful question that they didn’t even think to ask. .

Return policy
When a customer orders any Tupperware product, there is no money back guarantee policy. Once an order is submitted, the order is established and final. Other companies I’ve reviewed have had days-based money-back policies, but Tupperware doesn’t have that option.

conclusion
Tupperware is definitely a legitimate company with high-quality products that many people use. However, this company uses old marketing concepts such as house parties and does not emphasize using new marketing techniques to attract potential customers online. If you are getting a pre-built Tupperware website where people can buy your products, then you need to be taught the new marketing techniques so that you can attract customers to your website. Learning these concepts will help you maximize your profits in this business.

Tupperware consultants have been known to rely heavily on house parties to make sales, recruit potential distributors, and host more house parties. So make sure you are comfortable with this type of business model before committing to it.

If you really want to make money from the Tupperware business and any business opportunity, you need to learn how to brand yourself so people think of you as a leader. And if they see you as a leader, they will go after you instead of you having to go after them for a sale or recruitment. This is done by solving people’s business problems, giving them training tools that show them how to develop. There are more concepts to learn than just personal branding to ensure success. The main thing you need to do is find the right coach to show you how to harness the power of the internet and show you smart marketing techniques to increase your earning potential instead of just using the old house show business model.
