Hi Everyone,
I few months ago John suggested that I should come on here and write an honest review on working for these 2 companies. Sorry it has taken so long.
I joined My Secret Kitchen in August 2014, from September they merged with Your Inspiration at Home and offered a larger range of products called the passport range. From February 2015 they will totally combine under the My Secret Kitchen brand.
To be honest the reason I joined was just to get the kit and discount. I loved the products and the thought of getting 25% off really appealed to me. We also get testers at a fraction of the usual cost, but this is stopping at the end of January 2015.
I decided that I would make a bit of money on the run up to Christmas so I booked to do a few stalls at fairs.
In September 2014 I also joined Pampered Chef. I decided these worked well together and the kit deal at the time was great. I already had a kitchen full of the products and loved them. Pampered Chef offer 20% discount/commission.
Both have good points. I will try to compare. MSK = My Secret Kitchen. PC=Pampered Chef.
Basic commission
MSK = 25%
PC = 2-%
Postage
MSK = £4 - £8.50 depending on the size of the order (I can give exact details if anyone wishes to know)
PC = £5.25 on order less than £100 and FREE on orders over £100. Orders from shows can be shipped to individuals if required
Catalogues
For both companies you have to buy your catalogues, although you do get a number sent in your kit
Websites
MSK = the company has a website that is for everyone to use. All consultants get a discount code to give to customers. This gives the customers £1 off shipping every time and also allocated their order to you. You still get the full commission on the order. www.mysecretkitchen.co.uk Discount code MSKKR17.
PC = You can have your own personal website www.pamperedchef.biz/katyreed you get 3 months for free and then have to pay for it.
How do you get paid?
MSK = discount deducted from the order at the time you place it. Any bonuses are paid monthly along with any commission from online sales.
PC = Paid twice a month
What is your commitment when joining?
MSK = at the moment is it 1 order of any value
PC = 4 shows of £150 or more
Bonuses
MSK = Increased commission with increased sales, occasional bonuses of free products or catalogues.
PC = free products within your first 30 & 90 days for achieving a certain level or sales. (4 shows, 8 shows and 12 shows)
What do you get for recruiting?
MSK = Nothing unless you are a manager, occasional bonuses of free products
PC = Vouchers for up to 2 recruits within your first 90 days, sometimes gifts such as a charm to go on a necklace if you recruited in December.
Does anyone want to know anything else?
I'm happy to post current offers below.
