Selling jewelry through home parties is an exciting way for stay-at-home moms, retirees and others to earn extra income. While the line of jewelry is critical to the success of any jewelry home party, the consultant you select can also make or break the event.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Select A Jewelry Home Party Consultant

1. Attend several jewelry parties before you select a consultant. Exposure in person is the best way to know if you're choosing a consultant who will be easy for you to work with.
2. Realize that differences in personality are not necessarily flaws. Look for the qualities that complement your personality, even if they don't mirror it.
3. Talk to different jewelry party hosts for first-hand references on consultants. Select a consultant who is ambitious and outgoing, with a natural sense of creativity, for a party with pizzazz.
4. Avoid a consultant who is self-centered and seems to be concerned only with what she is getting out of the show. She should show obvious support for your efforts as a hostess, as well as respect for invited guests.
5. Make your move into the home jewelry business and select a consultant without waiting for one to come to you. Once you're in, you'll see how quickly many home jewelry businesses flourish.
6. Find a consultant who listens. The consultant you select should be interested in hearing what you want to accomplish with your parties and be able to guide you in achieving those goals.
7. Consider the appearance of the consultant you select. While beauty is not a requirement, neatness and approachability are very important qualities.
8. Search for a consultant who is known to give an upbeat and exciting presentation with a pleasant and happy demeanor. Sales happen in a contagiously cheerful environment.
9. Select a jewelry consultant who loves jewelry, relates to all types of people and needs the income. She will give more to get more.
10. Find a consultant with the expertise to walk you into the consultant role, since many hostesses plan to progress to the more demanding yet lucrative role of consultant. The perks of being a consultant are usually much greater than they are for a hostess.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid misunderstandings with a consultant by getting her program plan and profile in writing.
• Avoid jewelry consultants who are often difficult to reach.
• Have an informal meeting with prospective consultants to discuss presentation strategy.
• Choose a local consultant rather than one on the Internet unless you are willing to do extensive research. Beware of any prospect that sounds too good to be true.
