Just Under the Wire

Despite the initial issues I had with SMC, I decided since I had gone as far as to order the kit and I had it in my possesion that I would give it a try. My plan was to distibute catalogs to friends, family and other acquintances but my main goal was to recruit wholesalers and fundraisers. This way, I didn't have to sell the actual products to many people to make money. I just had to sell one person at a time on the oppurtunity. I had even called the PTA president who was going to consider me for a fundraiser. This made it all the more difficult to make the decision to send back the kit and time was running out on my 30 days!



What made me reconsider returning the kit after I had called the PTA? The shipping costs. My shipping costs would have been 27% of my cost of goods sold for orders of $30-$500. Which they say all you have to do is charge your customers 10% of their order and you will have more than enough to cover the 27%. Well that justifies nickel and diming me to death, now doesn't it? I can't see where a person can make any money with 27% going towards shipping and don't forget about the cost of other supplies ie. catalogs.



I had also figured on doing some selling on ebay but that would have been a waste of time as well.

Oh, yeah, I sent it back on my 30th day. I hope I get a refund without any problems.
