General description
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 of the customers don’t know that they even sell children’s toys, cutlery and even kitchen utensils.

Well, enough of a history lesson. My goal is to evaluate Tupperware as a business model so that you can make an informed business decision and determine if this opportunity is right for your home 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 costs $79.99. You get $330 worth of products with the Business Kit. The most expensive kit called the Executive Business Kit costs $119.99. You will receive $470 worth of products to sell with this kit.

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

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

As a Tupperware Consultant, you earn a 25% commission on all the products you sell. If you are paid by credit card, Tupperware will pay you on 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 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 one 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 on 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’s also important to note that Tupperware implements a phased 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 top performer.

How are leads generated?
While there are many effective ways to apply effective marketing concepts to generate endless leads from the Internet, many Tupperware Consultants get most of their clients through something called house parties or house shows where a potential customer chooses to host 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 in 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 you with one-on-one training. There is an incentive to make sure you are properly trained because your financial success means they will receive a commission for your 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.

Also, there are many people who would like to attend informative webinars so they can get to know the Tupperware business before committing. Well, since Tupperware webinars are not offered, these people will not be able to attend these informative webinars. Through experience, I’ve found that it’s really helpful when companies offer that extra level of service with a purely informational webinar to those prospects who are considering an opportunity but haven’t committed yet. I’ve found this to be a great way for people who haven’t committed yet to get their questions answered. It’s been known that you can 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 a chance someone would think of a helpful question that you 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 looked at have had money-back policies based on a certain number of days, 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 like 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 drive 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 throw 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 your Tupperware business and any business opportunity, you must learn how to brand yourself so that 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 recruiting. 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.
