I used to be a PC consultant a few years ago (while operating my other main business) and have some reservations about these "home party sales" type opportunities. I am not set against it but there is A LOT more to it than meets the eye and most folks do not consider these things when signing up. There are lots of things to consider that are not listed in any brochure.
My first question for your friend is to ask her what is the main reason she is looking at doing this.
I know quite a few ladies who have been PC consultants and they would always spend more than they made. Yes, there are a handful of ladies who make good money but most of the time, it is due to the "pyramid" business model.
You can always go to The Pampered Chef website (www.pamperedchef.com) to find out more.
If your friend has any questions, I would be glad to help offline.
