Too Good to be True?

Isn't it usually the case that if it sounds too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. When you are looking at choosing a home-based career make sure you stop and think rather than just sign on the line!

Here are some questions to ask for sales related careers:

• How much product do I need to sell? Are there monthly minimums?
• How often do I need to buy catalogs and how much do they cost?
• Am I required to buy samples? How much and how often? Are samples consumed during demonstration and who pays for them if they are?
  
• What type of training do I have access to and am I required to do a certain amount?
• What ordering process will I use? Is there a cost attached to that?
• Who will be my main customers and how will I find them?
• How much can I earn and how many hours do I need to work to achieve that?
• Who is being successful at this and what is contributing to their success?

You can probably think of your own additional questions. You may not only need to consider your own needs, but also those of your family members. No matter how good a deal something sounds, is it the right deal for you? Can you try it and leave without a loss if it's not for you?

Take your time choosing if you need to. If someone is trying to push you into a deal, ask for a few days to think about it. If they are truly interested in working with you they won't mind waiting to call you back.
