The Pampered Chef

The Pampered Chef

The Pampered Chef is Doris Christopher’s extraordinary account of how she turned an innovative concept and a $3,000 investment into close to a billion-dollar business, and is packed with real-life lessons and inspiring insights for small-business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. She describes the early days of her “one-woman show,” chronicles the company’s expansion, and offers invaluable advice and sound strategies on founding and growing a business, including:

Eleven tips for start-up entrepreneurs
Creating a concept for a business and setting your priorities
Hitting the $1 million mark and knowing when to slow growth
Steering clear of naysayers and dealing with adversity
Establishing a stress-free work environment
Christopher recognized that millions of women did not own or even know how to use quality kitchen tools. Using her products to help bring families together in the kitchen, Christopher discovered a huge, untapped market. Through The Pampered Chef’s easy-to-master techniques for streamlining meal preparation, customers not only became more skillful in the kitchen, they gained valuable time to spend with their families.

Achieving a better balance between work and family remains central to The Pampered Chef’s mission. The Pampered Chef brings Christopher’s recipe for success to women (and men) everywhere.

“At Berkshire Hathaway, we like companies that are easy to understand. Doris Christopher’s “keep it simple” approach has a lot to teach anyone who is reaching for the American Dream. Frankly, if I can’t understand a company’s business, I figure their customers must have a pretty hard time figuring it out, too.

“I would challenge anyone on Wall Street to take $3,000 and do what Doris Christopher has done: build a business from scratch into a world-class organization. But follow the simple steps in this book, and it just might happen. Come see me in Omaha when you’ve put together your own recipe for success; we pay cash and Bershire’s check will clear. In the meantime, read this book. Then, read it again.”

Warren Buffett, from the foreword to The Pampered Chef

About Our Founder

Inspired by her dedication to preserving the tradition of family mealtimes and driven by the spirit of entrepreneurism, Doris Christopher founded The Pampered Chef® from the basement of her suburban Chicago home in 1980.

Her experience as a home economics teacher and at-home mother enabled her to recognize the need for time-saving kitchen tools and techniques designed to make cooking quick and easy. She came up with a simple plan: offer professional-quality kitchen equipment directly to the consumers through in-home cooking demonstrations performed by a sales force of “Pampered Chef Consultants.” Let customers see how the products work, try them out and even taste the results.

With the support of her husband, Jay, and two young daughters, Julie and Kelley, Christopher put her plan into action. Twenty years later, her business has moved to a succession of progressively larger facilities and blossomed into a $700 million enterprise.

The Pampered Chef became a member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA) of the United States in 1986. Christopher was named to the Board of Directors in 1992, and then served as Chairperson. She is currently the Immediate Past Chairperson of the DSA and Chairperson of the Direct Selling Education Foundation (DSEF), a branch organization of the DSA.

The Pampered Chef - Canada is also a member of the Direct Sellers Association of Canada. The DSA’s mission is “To further enhance trust, confidence and growth in the Canadian direct-selling industry through self-regulation and ethical conduct.” For information on the DSA’s Code of Ethics, click here.

In 1994, Ernst & Young, Inc. magazine and Merrill Lynch selected Christopher as the regional winner of the National Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Masters category. Also in 1994, The Pampered Chef was among Inc. magazine’s 500 fastest-growing privately held companies in America. In fact, projected sales figures show the numbers growing at an average of almost $100 million each year for the next five years.

Christopher has repeatedly been included in Working Woman magazine’s listing of the nation’s top women business owners, and she has appeared on regional and national television as an expert on family mealtimes, direct selling and entrepreneurship.

In March of 1996, The Pampered Chef launched its business in Canada, extending Doris’ mission of preserving the family mealtime. There are now more than 3,500 Consultants in Canada, with new Consultants starting their own businesses every day.

Doris’ unfailing commitment to fostering entrepreneurship in women is woven into the very fabric of The Pampered Chef. Many Pampered Chef Consultants are mothers who have been empowered to develop lucrative businesses while staying home to raise their children and manage their households.

The Pampered Chef brings families together, not only through its direct-selling opportunity, but also through its product line. Each product is designed to make cooking faster and easier so that customers can spend less time in the kitchen and more with their families.

Doris Christopher believes “When families share a meal, the bonds that hold that family together grow stronger.”

Her philosophy about the importance of the family mealtime has shaped and guided The Pampered Chef from the very beginning. Even in the midst of rapid growth, the company maintains this original focus.

It was this same philosophy that drove Christopher to author the book, Come to the Table, published by Warner Books in 1999. In it, she celebrates the tradition of the family mealtime, honours its deep and lasting roots and reinforces its power to positively impact family life.

In 1991, Christopher expanded the company’s mission to combat hunger in the U.S. with the creation of the Round-Up from the Heart® campaign, and the same program was adapted in Canada in 1999. This collective effort between the Pampered Chef’s Consultants, customers and corporate employees helps the Canadian Association of Food Banks feed approximately three million hungry Canadians every year, 40 percent of whom are under the age of 18. CAFB members expect to distribute more than one hundred million pounds of food in 2001.

The Pampered Chef has been honoured with the U.S. DSA’s Vision for Tomorrow Award for its efforts to help feed the nation’s hungry. It has also received two U.S. DSA Industry Innovation Awards — the first for its support of entrepreneurial women, and the second for excellence in Web technology for the Come to the Table Web site. Canada received an honourable mention from the Canadian DSA.

Christopher is certified in Family and Consumer Services and is an active member of the business section of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. She is also a member of the international organization, The Committee of 200.

Biz Builder

Biz Builder

Being a BIZ Co-Op Member has many benefits! Besides the most obvious benefit of being able to purchase hundreds of thousands of items at “true factory cost” [without having to buy an entire container of merchandise], there’s something else you should be aware of: The ability to create your own, totally unique “Private Label” brand for the products you purchase in our online marketplace!

Imagine … store brands are reaching all-time highs! Traditional retailers [as well as e-commerce websites, eBay Power Sellers, and others] around the globe are choosing to market their merchandise using “Private Label” brands as their preferred strategy to build their business and their bottom line. Big or small, they are using their own brands to differentiate themselves and create a high level of consumer loyalty. In fact, the latest consumer research indicates that nearly one-third of all consumers now consider themselves frequent store brand shoppers with more than half saying that their preferred retailer’s brands are as good [or perform as well as] the more well-known, “national brand” equivilent.

Most importantly - is the fact that, here in America, consumers typically “add value” to the goods they purchase, based solely on what they “perceive” the value of those goods to be. For example, consider this:

There are approximately 10 major factories in China that produce 95% of all microwave ovens purchased throughout the world. One factory, in particular - is responsible for producing over 30% of this total amount. This one factory manufactures “Panasonic” microwave ovens, “Sharp” microwave ovens, and “LG” microwave ovens. All three “national brands” are produced at the same factory, by the same machinery and the same human intervention. All three brands have virtually the same parts - and use the same technologies, to deliver essentially the same final product. Yet … despite their similarities, all three national brand microwave ovens vary as much as 60% in their Suggested Retail Price - due in large part to what the company believes is the “perceived value” of their product! They’re really not any better - but, they have found a way to convince the consumer that they are worth the extra cost. This sort of marketing strategy is very common with “national brand” products - and is only possible by developing a strong identity and “perceived value” for the goods.

The good news is that you, too, can now experience this same success without having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process! In fact, beginning December 1, 2006 - all BIZ Co-Op Level 3 Members will be able purchase “Private Label” products from within our online marketplace with their own “Private Label” or “Unique Brand” – by ordering as little as 300 pieces of goods from any of our participating factories!

Here’s how easy it is to get started:

1. Select any of the products in this section that have our special “Private Label” logo. These special products can be ordered to include your own unique brand name – whatever it is – to help you establish your own unique product.

2. Order the goods, just as you normally do – by adding the products you’re interested in purchasing using the “Add To Cart” button.

3. Once we receive notice of your order, our Customer Service Department will be in contact with you to discuss the nature of your “Private Label”, and begin the process of producing your order.

Whether it’s a “Private Label” set of ladies down jackets, or … a “Private Label” for your next order of Electric Guitars – we’ll guide you every step of the way towards receiving your merchandise ASAP. The best news of all – is that there’s absolutely no additional charge whatsoever for this special service! The only requirement is that you must be a Co-Op Level 3 Member. It’s as simple as that!

Now that you’ve seen the great products and services offered on our website – it’s time to discuss how you can save even more money by becoming a BIZ Builder.Com Co-Op Member and/or a BIZ Builder.Com Authorized Distributor!

As a regular member of our BIZ Co-Op, you’ll enjoy savings of 70 – 90% OFF the suggested retail prices of everything we advertise in our store! If, on the other hand, you’re business involves retail distribution, be sure and apply to become an approved BIZ Builder.Com Authorized Distributor!

Scent-Sations

Scent-Sations, Inc.

Our Mission:
To provide an opportunity for a better life through unique,
high-quality products, excellent compensation and business integrity.

I was introduced to the amazing world of network marketing in 1988 by my friend, Charlie Umphred. We have been partners and full-time network marketing professionals from 1989 until we opened the doors to Scent-Sations in the Fall of 2002.

I really love the fact that in network marketing you get to “wake up when your eyes open…not when some silly alarm clock tells you to” . . . PLUS you get to work with motivated people from all over the U.S.A. (and in some cases, around the world!) . . . BUT I was never able to reconcile the fact that, although most good network marketing programs have excellent products, their wholesale pricing never really allowed distributors to make enough money by simply selling products to customers!

In other words, if the distributors in my organization were not sponsoring other distributors into their respective program, they were unable to put badly needed money in their pockets daily.

I told Charlie that someday we would find a company with integrity that had a good product(s) that people could retail for daily money and also develop a downline organization for residual income.

Then one day it happened…but not the way we ever expected it to happen! Instead of finding a company we BECAME a company!

I was doing a fundraiser for my son’s basketball team selling paraffin scented candles manufactured by a local candle-maker. The kids sold about 1,400 candles, they smelled incredible, and everyone was commenting on how great they were.

When the candles were delivered the “candle-makers” Lynn and Carmen Milazzo asked me if I was still involved in marketing. When I answered “yes” Carmen told me that they had developed a new candle made of alternative ingredients and he was looking for some advice on the best way to market the product.

I asked Carmen what was so special about his new “alternative” candle and he started telling me about his desire to make a candle that had all of the positive benefits of scented candles and none of the negatives of scented candles. His main focus was to create a candle using materials that addressed soot damage in homes. He told me about a candle made from soy that was practically soot free, burned longer than most paraffin candles and could be cleaned up with hot soapy water. .

The “Entrepreneur” in me got extremely excited and I called my partner, Charlie and told him that we were going into the “candle business!” You see, I have a good friend who has made a fortune in business and he once told me that, in his opinion, the best way to succeed was to find an existing business and improve upon it. When I did my research and saw how huge the scented candle business was and realized this kind of candle represented new and “better” technology, well, the hair literally stood up on the back of my neck!

Today, Carmen, Lynn, Charlie and myself are partners and the future never looked brighter! We manufacture what many people are now calling the finest scented candle ever made and our distributor force grows monthly!

Our Goal at Scent-Sations, Inc. is to empower anyone to work part time from his or her home to build a local, regional, national and eventually an international business by showing our products and our business plan.

AND . . . if he or she was never able to recruit a person he or she can always earn money by retailing our products!

We KNOW that those who want to focus their efforts on building an organization of distributors are going to be living the life that most only dream about, BUT we are proud to stand apart from most network marketing programs because we ALSO offer people the chance to put money in their pockets daily through our very lucrative retail program!

When we designed our compensation plan we also decided to stand apart from the majority of network marketing programs in that we are NOT going to penalize you if you sponsor a “runaway leg.” We feel that YOUR stories of success are far more important than OUR story of success and we want to be able to brag about our distributors living the life of their dreams or making a car payment or a house payment WITHOUT working lots of hours!!! We truly want to see you having success and at the same time enjoying FREE Time!!!!

Scent-Sations is the little company where you can dream BIG dreams. We invite you to join us……you wont regret that decision for a single day of your life!

“The best scented candle I’ve ever smelled! That’s what I said after trying a Mia Bella Scented Gourmet Candle! When I realized that this candle is practically soot free, is non-toxic and 100% bio-degradeable, uses recycled American farmland materials and cleans up with soap and water, I knew I was finally in the right place at the right time with a simple product! What’s really exciting about this business is that I am able to make my daily routine my pathway to income. I don’t have to come home at night and work the phones or send out mailings looking to recruit people. With this program, I simply show the candle. People either buy it and I make money right there or they sign up in the business and I make money from their efforts month after month!”
-Pete Canavan, PA

It is a realistic way for the average person to start a real profitable home business. It’s very effective. I only wish that I had been offered a program like this years ago. I would have saved myself tons of wasted time and money. I also really like the simplicity of the system. all I have to do show the products and the easy compensation plan! I’m making great money and I would recommend this program to everyone.”
-Dave Lewis, PA

“Scent-Sations is exactly what my wife and I had been looking for. There is just no competition. How many companies are selling a similar product line? I sure can’t think of any. Hundreds of our happy customers can’t seem to think of any either.”
-Shep and Jan Kuester, WA

With a great company, the ultimate in gourmet consumable products, mass appeal, and a generous compensation plan, it is difficult for anyone to say no. The facts speak for themselves.

The Silpada Story

Every woman has a story to tell and we feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to share our personal story with so many others. Our start came from just being friends, a couple of moms, who both happen to really love jewelry – especially fine Sterling Silver Jewelry.

We first met when the oldest of each of our three children started first grade. Fatefully, we had both signed up to be room mothers and immediately became the best of friends. After chatting about how we could earn a little extra cash, we tried a few new business ideas. We had a lot of fun, but it wasn’t until we each took $25 from our grocery fund and pursued our passion for Sterling Silver Jewelry that we really began to love our “jobs.” We started designing our own jewelry creations and hosting what we called “A Fun Ladies’ Night out Playing Dress-up with Jewelry!”™ Quickly, one party led to another, and, it wasn’t long before Hostesses and Customers began telling us, “You look like you are having so much fun. We wish we could have your jobs!”

So in 1997, after hundreds of successful parties, we began our journey and Silpada Designs was born. We created an exclusive line of Silpada Designs Sterling Silver Jewelry and our very first Silpada Designs Catalog. Friends and Customers became independent Silpada Designs Representatives.

Today, there are thousands of independent Representatives chasing their dreams, and we’re happy to say that our basement-born business is helping to bring each of their dreams to life, which is, for us, the truest and most rewarding part of our journey. Our story goes to show that with a little passion and a sincere desire to help others, anything is possible. We’re glad you stopped by our site and hope that one of the many benefits Silpada offers has a place in your life. We know you have your very own story to tell, and we can’t wait to hear it!

Most Popular MLM Companies
Based on Google Search Statistics

This page features graphs and a Top 25 Most Popular MLM

Companies list, based on how many people around the world searched Google for information about the company.

I got the idea for this ranking method after Kim Klaver recently published of the most popular MLM companies based on Alexa rankings. Ms. Klaver, one of my favorite trainers and leaders in the network marketing industry, openly acknowledges that her “Top 50 Network Marketing Companies” list is not the last word on which companies are the best. Rather, she notes that her list is simply one source of information one can use to gauge the popularity of various MLM companies.

Alexa ratings are based on the number of times Alexa toolbar users visit a web site. There are of course some limitations to the statistics compiled by Alexa, as described on the Alexa web site. One of those limitations is the fact that Alexa Toolbar users constitute a small percentage of the population and they might not accurately represent the individuals surfing the web for information about mlm companies. (See Note 1 for more details on this point.)

As I thought about the fact that Alexa Toolbar users might not constitute a representative sample of Internet users, I wondered if their was another way to measure interest in a company. There is: Google Trends. This service from Google Labs, allows you to compare the number of searches for various keywords across time and against each other. Although the service does not reveal the raw number of searches, that information is less important if your goal is to determine the relative number of searches for various MLM companies.

There are, of course, limitations to Google Trends as well, most notably the fact that it is a “beta” version tool, meaning it is still in the testing stage of development. Google includes the following statement at the bottom of any Google Trends results page:

Google Trends aims to provide insights into broad search patterns. As a Google Labs product, it is still in the early stages of development. Also, it is based upon just a portion of our searches, and several approximations are used when computing your results. Please keep this in mind when using it.

With those caveats in mind, below are graphs showing the relative popularity of the top 25 network marketing companies, based on Google searches world-wide. They are divided into groups of five because Google Trends allows you to compare up to five search terms at one time. A list of the top 25 companies follows the charts.

Google Trends graph for the Top 5 Most Popular MLM Companies based on Google searches world-wide.Note1: Avon would be #1 and Tupperware would be tied for #2 with Mary Kay but neither company is included in this ranking because they are not true multi-level marketing opportunities. Although they do have independent consultants (distributors), Avon and Tupperware undermine those distributors by marketing their products directly to consumers via the Internet. True MLM companies sell their products through their distributors only. Note2: Disreputable companies such as SeaSilver are also not included

USANA Health

USANA Health

I dream of a world free from pain and suffering. I dream of a world free from disease. The USANA family will be the healthiest family on earth.

Share my vision. Love life and live it to its fullest in happiness and health.”

-Dr. Myron Wentz, Founder and Chairman,
USANA Health Sciences
__________

USANA’s Commitment to Quality Assurance & Good Manufacturing Practices
Founded in 1992 by microbiologist and immunologist Dr. Myron Wentz, USANA Health Sciences is a science-based company that develops scientifically advanced nutritional, personal-care, and weight management products. The name “USANA” derives from Greek and Latin and means “true health.”

USANA was founded with a mission to manufacture the highest quality products without compromise, products that people can trust. Because poor manufacturing can destroy great science, USANA is one of the few companies to manufacture most of its products in its own state-of-the-art facility. To ensure that the formulas developed in USANA’s laboratories are produced consistently, the same process is followed each time manufacturing begins. When raw ingredients first arrive at USANA, they are immediately quarantined until they are tested for purity, potency, and quality. If an ingredient fails to meet set standards, it is rejected and returned to the supplier.

As the tablets are being manufactured, they are tested for hardness, thickness, disintegration, fragility, and weight uniformity. An inappropriate thickness can indicate an imbalance in ingredients, just as a slight variance in compression can result in tablets being too hard to disintegrate in the stomach, or too soft, causing them to break apart in the bottle.

Before packaging, the final product is tested once more for potency and purity. After the products are packaged, the foil seals, labels, and cotton are double-and triple-checked by both machines and people. Each step in the quality assurance process is accompanied by a written, detailed procedure.

Every dietary supplement produced by USANA carries a potency guarantee, which ensures that what is stated on the label is actually contained in the product. The foundation of USANA’s nutritional system is the ESSENTIALS™, a comprehensive vitamin, antioxidant, and mineral dietary supplement that contains more than 40 active ingredients and extracts, far more than the 24 vitamins and minerals commonly considered to be adequate. The ESSENTIALS (Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral), Proflavanol® 90, and the HEALTHPAK 100™ AM/PM packs have been exhaustively tested by NSF International and have been found to contain all ingredients at the labeled amounts. NSF is an independent, not-for-profit organization that helps protect consumers by certifying products and writing standards for food, water, air and consumer goods.

Currently, the Federal Drug Administration has not finalized Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for dietary supplements, as they are required to do under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. Rather, Congress has initially stated that dietary supplement GMP should be modeled after foods. Because of this statement, many supplement manufacturers have chosen to follow GMP for foods. USANA, however, voluntarily follows GMP for pharmaceuticals as the basis for its quality assurance program in the manufacturing of all of its products, meaning USANA treats nutritional supplements with the same care that goes into the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products.

Similar to guidelines in many other countries, pharmaceutical GMP are federally mandated guidelines for the production of over-the-counter drugs; they are considerably stricter than the food GMP followed by many United States supplement manufacturers. Pharmaceutical GMP cover virtually every aspect of drug manufacturing, including facility design and maintenance, raw material specification and control, supplier validation, product design and testing, employee training, process control, finished product release, and complaint handling.

In several countries around the world, supplements are more highly regulated than in the United States. In Australia, for example, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which regulates dietary supplements, mandates that manufacturers follow a set of GMP identical to pharmaceutical GMP in the United States. As an Australian supplier, USANA is regularly inspected and audited by the TGA to ensure that we meet their GMP standards. Most recently, USANA was audited in June 2006 by the TGA and passed with ease.

Aside from meeting the criteria of regular TGA audits, USANA has voluntarily obtained additional third-party verification of GMP status. Most recently, USANA’s Salt Lake City, Utah, manufacturing facility has been certified to be in compliance with GMP requirements set forth in NSF/ANSI Standard 173-2006, Dietary Supplements by NSF International. According to NSF, “GMP registration reflects [a] continued commitment to ensuring quality and satisfaction and gives companies confidence that their organization operates in conformance to established GMP.”

It is USANA’s mission to develop and provide the highest quality, science-based products. By rigorously testing each product for potency and purity and by voluntarily following pharmaceutical GMP, USANA sets the standard for excellence in dietary supplement manufacturing. Once again this is proof that USANA products are truly Nutritionals You Can Trust.

POTENCY GUARANTEE
USANA is committed to the highest standards of product design and manufacturing, and we guarantee the potency of every nutritional product we sell.

Our company follows internationally accepted Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) set out for the pharmaceutical industry. As such, we track every detail of product manufacture from start to finish—from the verification of raw materials to final testing of finished products. Standard tests include those for potency, purity, disintegration, weight, hardness, thickness, and stability.

For these reasons and more, you can be confident in the potency and overall quality of USANA Products. We truly provide Nutritionals You Can Trust.

In the last 10 years the number of home-based businesses has increased 20 times to over 30 million operations. USANA is attracting people from all walks of life and in international markets across the globe who have been able to build USANA businesses that generate great earning potential. Whether you want to earn a part- or full-time income, USANA is a vehicle that can help make that desire a reality. In the following section you can view a presentation, see an explanation of the pay plan, and read success stories of individuals who are already succeeding with the global USANA business opportunity.

Home › Opportunity › Pay Plan

USANA’s Income-Producing Business Plan is
Revolutionizing how People Create Wealth
The USANA Binary Compensation Plan is a binary system in which you build balanced left-side and right-side downline organizations for the purpose of selling USANA’s nutritional and personal care products. The weekly commissions you earn are based on the balanced Group Sales Volume (GSV) points accumulated in your left-side and right-side downline organizations.

USANA Business Centers are designed to pay you weekly commissions on Sales Volume with no limit to the number of levels from which you can earn your commissions. In addition, a USANA Business Center allows you to be paid on the Sales Volume created by your downline Associates and Preferred Customers.

Another powerful advantage of USANA’s program is that there are no monthly group volume requirements.

The income you receive from USANA will be in direct proportion to your ability to retail USANA’s products to your customers, as well as your ability to build an organization of Associates who, like you, retail to their customers and build an organization of Associates.*

Starting a Business Center
Your sponsor places you in an open position in his or her sales organization (Figure 1). This open position is called a Business Center (BC). Each Business Center has left and right sides in which Sales Volume accumulates. You activate and earn commissions on 1 or 3 Business Centers by following a few simple steps:

A. Complete an Associate Application form and purchase a Business Development System. If you fill out and sign an application manually you can have a 21-day temporary status by calling USANA Distributor Services or enrolling online while you wait for USANA to receive the written copy.

B. Order USANA products that total 150 points, or 450 points with 3 Business Centers, in Personal Sales Volume (PSV). These products may be for personal use and for retail sale, and may be ordered in a single order or accumulated over time.

C. Order USANA product worth 100 or 200 Personal Sales Volume (PSV) points for 3 Business Centers for personal use and resale every four weeks.
