START-UP INFORMATION
Who can become a Norwex consultant.
Absolutely! You can sign up as a Norwex consultant if you live in any of the following countries:
- Canada
- United States
- Australia
- Norway
- Latvia
- Estonia
- Netherlands
- Lithuania
The sign-up forms for Canadians and Americans are on this website. Click here to get them. Just print them, complete them and fax them to the Norwex office listed on the form for your location! You can also scan the completed forms onto your computer and then attach them to an email to info@norwex.com. If you are from any of the other countries listed, please contact me for details on how to become a consultant.
Do I need to live in the same location as my sponsor.
No, you do not have to live in the same town, province or state, or even the same country as the consultant you'll sign up under! I do however recommend that you sign up under a Norwex consultant who lives on the same continent!
Although it would be great to sign up with someone knowledgeable and motivated who lives close to you, the communication technology available today makes "long distance sponsorship" very easy and highly effective. You would be better off signing up with someone knowledgeable who has readily available resources for you, even if they live somewhere else.
If you live in Australia, please visit Sandra's Norwex for information on becoming an AU Norwex Consultant and to get your AU Sign-Up forms.
How should I decide on a Norwex Sponsor?
The consultant who you sign up under is a very important decision. You should find someone you feel at ease with, someone who knows about the Norwex product line and Norwex procedures, and who can clearly answer any of your questions. Besides the initial consultation, look for someone who will be available to you, both by email and phone to answer any questions you may have as you move further along in your business. Although initially you may only be interested in purchasing the Norwex products for yourself, there may come a time when you want to pursue it more, at which time you'll want to be a part of a team of motivated, knowledgeable people who can help you successfully grow your Norwex business
Norwex is my full time job, and I am committed to helping you succeed! It is my responsibility to keep you informed and help you to set and reach attainable goals as a Norwex consultant. As a member of this team, you will have access to the resources on our Team Training website, created exclusively for this team. The site contains valuable product knowledge, recruiting tools, promotional materials, and much more. You will also receive periodic team emails, and I offer personal face to face, phone or email support to help you launch you new business confidently!

Does it matter where my sponsor lives?
Yes and no. Although it would be great to sign up with someone knowledgeable and motivated who lives close to you, the communication technology available today makes "long distance sponsorship" very easy and highly effective. You would be better off signing up with someone knowledgeable who has readily available resources for you, even if they live somewhere else.
How much does it cost to become a Norwex consultant and what do I get in my start-up kit?
CANADA
You can choose from 2 different starter kits!
| CAD - Option 1 - $59.95 | CAD - Option 2 - FREE!* |
 |  |
Norwex Products (CAD) for OPTION 1
| Norwex Products (CAD) for OPTION 2
|
Norwex Business Supplies (CAD) for OPTION 1
| Norwex Business Supplies (CAD) for OPTION 2
|
United States
Norwex Starte Kit for the United States - FREE*
* The USA Starte Kit will be sent to all US consultant free of charge, with the agreement that you will sell $2000 within the first 3 moths. It typically takes 3-4 parties to sell $2000, which is about $670 per month. If you do not sell this required amount, you will be billed $200, which is slightly less then the value of the starter kit. I recommend that US consultants set aside the earnings from your first party (which is usually $200 or more), to pay for the kit in the event that you don't sell the required $2000.

Can I just purchase the Norwex products for my own use without selling them to others?
You absolutely can! It is important to remember though that you need to purchase a retail total of $250 in any 6 month period of time to remain a current consultant (on Norwex's files). But don't be surprised if, after using the products you find yourself wanting to tell everyone you know about how wonderful they are... you may just be on your way to a successful business even if you're not planning on it!
What are the average sales at a Norwex Home Party, and what would my profit be?
On average, the sales from a Norwex Home Party are between $600 - $700, but they can often be as high (or higher) than $1000! Your commission is 35% of the total sales. So for a party with sales of $600 you would bring home $210, and for a $1000 party you would make $350 in one night!
How much time does it take to do a Norwex Home Show?
It will take you about 30 minutes to do set up at the hosts home. The actual presentation takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour, and then the guests have to place their orders which takes an additional hour. You will also spend an additional 60-90 minutes on hostess coaching (before the party), driving to the hostesses home, placing the orders, and customer follow up. So your total time, when all is finished, would be between 3 - 3½ hours. So, for most of your home parties you will make at least $50/hour!
What other benefits are there to becoming a Norwex consultant, besides earning commissions on my Norwex sales?
There are many!
1. New consultants can purchase any item of their choosing from the catalog at half price - most consultants choose the Superior Mop system!
2. Consultant Shopping Sprees & FREE products.
- A NEW CONSULTANT in Canada will receive a $200 shopping spree if he/she sells $2,500 within the first 3 months! As a consultant, you can either keep the products you choose from your shopping spree, or you can sell them! In the United States, a consultant will receive their starter kit FREE of charge if he/she sells $2,000 in the first 3 months! The US starter kit is valued at more than $200.
- Every month, Norwex offers it's consultants generous incentives for both product sales and for recruiting new consultants.
3. When you act as your own hostess (for orders of $325 or more), you get the current Norwex hostess gifts for free!
4. As you begin to develop your own Norwex team of active, qualified consultants, you earn commission on your team sales each month.
NOTE: "Active" means that you have ordered your first $250 retail ($180 with your discount) in products.
BACK TO TOP
What products should I have in my Norwex kit and how much will it cost me?
Your starter kit will come with a few products in it, but if you plan to do home shows, you'll need a few more things. I recommend that you purchase the following in addition to what comes in your starter kit:
- Sanira System
- Ultra Power Laundry Detergent
- Dryer Balls
- Antibac Dusting Mitt
- Spirinettes
- Spirisponge
- Dishwashing Liquid
- Carpet Stain Buster
- Silver Care Toothbrush
- OPTIONAL EXTRA - A large mop or small mop , which new consultants can order at half-price.
You can continue to add to your kit with the initial profits you earn, but if you plan to do home parties, this is what you should try to keep in your kit right off the bat because they're extremely popular and they sell well.
Do I have to have inventory on hand?
No, it isn't necessary to keep inventory and take it to your home party's. It's good enogh to bring your well stocked kit, so that the guests get to see the products first hand, and then have them order from the Norwex catalogue. However, people love to be able to take their products home with them from the party, so if you decide to keep some inventory with you it will most definitely sell!
Is Norwex a pyramid scheme?
No. Norwex is a direct sales company like Tupperware, Avon, Mary Kay, etc. and sells legitimate retail products to consumers. Here is how to tell whether any opportunity is a legitimate multi-level marketing opportunity rather than a pyramid scheme.
- Product and Price
Does the company offer a high quality product for which there is a strong demand in the real world marketplace? Is the product fairly priced and priced competitively with similar products? Can the product be demonstrated, and does it stand out when you show it to friends? Is the product proprietary to the company, and available only through its distributors? (Have you ever noticed that you can't buy Avon products in stores or Shaklee vitamins at pharmacies?) Is it backed up with a customer satisfaction guarantee? Is post-sales service or customer assistance available? Do the people who participate in the program buy the product enthusiastically based on its own merits, even if they don't participate in the compensation program? - Second, No Investment Requirement
Can you participate in the company's program without having to make any investment other than purchasing a sales kit or demonstration materials sold at company cost? - Third, Look at Purchase and Inventory Requirements
Can you become a distributor or sales representative without having to fulfill a minimum up-front purchase or inventory requirement? (When you are pitched to put thousands of dollars of inventory at the very beginning, run fast in the opposite direction.) Does the company's compensation plan discourage inventory loading? Garages and backrooms filled with product serve no useful purpose to anyone. - Fourth, Look at the Sales Commissions Sources
Are sales commissions paid only on actual products or services sold through distributors in the network to the end-user or ultimate consumer? (This means that products don't end up in basements and closets. They are used, because they have genuine value.) Does the compensation plan avoid paying commissions or bonuses for the mere act of sponsoring or recruiting? (If it pays headhunting fees, it is illegal.) - Fifth, Check the Buy-Back Policy
Will the company buy back inventory and sales kit materials from distributors who cancel their participation in the program, as long as these items are in resalable condition? (This policy is required in states that have adopted multilevel distribution statutes.) - Sixth and Very Important, Look for Retail Sales
Is there an emphasis on actual retail sales to end-consumers? Can the company demonstrate efforts to market products to the ultimate consumer? Do the company's distributors have ongoing retailing requirements to qualify for commissions? What is a "retail sale?" The industry and many MLM statutes include both sales to nonparticipants and purchases in reasonable amounts for personal use by distributors. Some regulatory groups, including the FTC, have historically rejected personal use as a legitimate retail sale. Stay tuned as this debate continues. The legislative trend is definitely supportive of the industry position. - Seventh, Expect an Active and not Passive Role for Distributors
Are distributors in the company required to actively participate in the development and management of their networks? (Many of the MLM statutes require that distributors perform bona fide, supervisory, distributing, selling, or soliciting functions in moving product to the ultimate consumer.) - Eighth, Watch Out for Earnings Misrepresentations
Do the company's literature and training materials scrupulously avoid claims of income potential that is promises of specific income levels other than demonstrations of verifiable income levels within its program? (The Federal Trade Commission, attorneys general, and postal inspectors all have their eyes on the matter of earnings representations. The acceptable approach emerging is that there should be no earnings representations unless they are based on a verifiable track record of the average earnings of distributors. For instance, a company should have statistics to show the percentage of active distributors and the average earnings of active distributors.) - Finally, Look for Good Training
Does the company offer its independent distributors solid training opportunities in sales and recruitment? Are different levels of training offered to match the increasing levels of experience and responsibilities of distributors?

CONSULANT TRAINING
There is extensive information on my team training website and I review each Norwex product on my blog. Last but certainly not least, Norwex offers an in-depth product information manual, and also employs a technical advisor who is at your disposal to answer any product-related questions you or your customers have.
As the consultant I am signed up with, how do you communicate with the consultants on your team?
My main form of communication with my team members is through my password-protected Norwex team support site where my consultants can access training and product information documents, printable resources, etc.
To keep my consultants from being overwhelmed by an inundation of emails from me, I try to just send out one monthly team information newsletter by email, and to phone each consultant from time to time. However, I am available to you by email and telephone at any time and I encourage you to contact me when you need help or want to chat!

PROFIT MARGIN & PRODUCT DISCOUNT
What is the profit on Norwex products?
For Nowex Party sales you earn 35% profit on all your sales. However, for individual sales, you will earn 40% profit!
How do I receive my commission on my Norwex sales?
Cash or Cheque - Immediate Profit
When a customer pays you by cash or cheque, you already have your profit. This is because when you make that customer's order, Norwex will charge you the discounted amount for the products. In the meantime, your customer has already given you the full retail amount for the products.
Example: Nancy orders a Rainbow Pack for $57.99 and gives you a cheque for that amount. When you order Nancy's Rainbow Pack from Norwex, you will be charged only 60% of the $57.99, leaving you with a 40% profit.
Credit Card - Commission Cheque from Norwex (soon to be paid by DIRECT DEPOSIT)
When a customer pays you by credit card, Norwex will add your profit on that sale to your monthly commission cheque.
Example: Nancy orders a Rainbow Pack for $57.99 and pays that amount by credit card. When you order Nancy's Rainbow Pack from Norwex, Norwex will charge Nancy's credit card for the full $57.99, while your actual cost to purchase the product from Norwex is only 60% of that. This leaves you with a 40% profit, which Norwex will mail to you in the form of a cheque, along with any other commisison you have earned that month.
CONSULTANT REQUIREMENTS
What are the monthly sales requirements?
There are no monthly sales requirements. If you want to be able to continue to receive a consultant discount, however, you must remain "current" - this means selling $250 retail in product (or purchasing for your own use or for gifts) in any 6 month period. Because you get a 35%-40% discount on your purchases, this amounts to $150.00 - $162.50 every 6 months, or a monthly amount of $25 - $27.
Note that in order to be considered an "current" consultant in the first place, you must have ordered your first $250 in products.
What terms & conditions must I agree to in order to become a Norwex consultant?
Norwex is very easy to get along with, but as a consultant you are expected to know and follow the rules. You will be given the full Norwex Terms & Conditions document prior to signing up, and you should read it thoroughly, but In a nutshell, Norwex consultants agree to...
- purchase the sales kit and sustain a minimum of $250.00 (retail) in personal sales over any six month period in order to remain active.
- represent Norwex Enviro Products ethically and in accordance with Norwex's policies.
- participate in training if you sell Norwex products to others.
- be responsible to correctly submit and pay for your Norwex orders.
- keep your own tax records as an independent contractor.
- make no false or misleading statements concerning Norwex Enviro Products or its products.
- seek prior approval from Norwex Enviro Products if you create media, develop materials or place any advertisements of any kind for use in training, soliciting, or attracting customers and/or representatives.
Are there any other requirements for Norwex consultants?
Just one. Once a week, you must email or phone your sponsor to report how many home parties you have coming up for the following week (even if the number is zero). Your sponsor reports this information to Norwex, and that's how Norwex decides how much stock to carry. This function will become automated as soon as Norwex rolls out their consultant websites, but for now, that's how it's done.
MARKETING MY NORWEX BUSINESS
Where can I sell Norwex?
Norwex consultants have a great deal of freedom to decide where and how to sell their products. Not only can you sell Norwex at home parties, but you can also...
- do trade shows and exhibits
- sell at flea markets, farmers' markets, etc
- conduct online sales through an ecommerce website etc.
Note: You CANNOT sell Norwex on auction sites such as eBay.
