How Much Do Thrive Life Consultants Make per Party?

I was recently asked how much money I make per party.  After doing some figuring I make on average $135.00 per party or $33.00 per hour after expenses. 

Let’s take an in depth look.

The average party takes me about 4 hours of work. (Note new consultants should plan it taking longer)

My average party sales are about $1,500, which is slightly higher than the company average but I feel like it accurately represents what experienced consultants are doing.  

Consultants earn 10% commission off of party sales.  So I earn $150.00 in commission.

 At each party I figure that I spend about $15.00 in samples, literature, travel and other expenses.  

Making my take home $135.00 per party or $33.00 per hour.  I am pretty happy with that.

*Thrive Life offers customers the Q program.  This is a way for customers to build their food storage over time while staying with in a budget.  Consultants get paid commission for each Q purchase a customer makes, creating residual income for the consultant.   I did not factor the residual income into that number. 

**Thrive Life is a MLM company and I also get paid off of the efforts of my down line.    I did not factor any of my team sales into that number. 

A personal note, After I had been a consultant for 18 months I was making more money each month then I made when I was teaching school full time, which I think is pretty amazing for a stay at home mom who is working part time.  I'm not a superstar salesman but I work hard.

How you can save money by being a Thrive Life Consultant?

Hint: You don’t have to sell anything!

The number one reason people become a consultant is because they want to get a discount on Thrive Life products.   It is why I became a consultant, and I am so happy with how I have been able to build up my food storage and emergency preparedness items at a great discount. 

1.       For anything you buy outside of your “Q”(discussed below*), you get:

a.        10% in commission and

b.      10% in free product. (Based on retail pricing, just pay shipping).

2.       For anything someone else buys from you, (again, not a requirement to sell to anyone, but just in case someone you know wants to order something…), you get:

a.       10% in commission and

b.      10% in free product. (Based on retail pricing, just pay shipping).

c.       The customer can also earn 10% in free product, when they decide to host a party.

3.       For anything purchased from an event hosted by someone else, (again, not a requirement…) you get:

a.       10% in commission and

b.      The host of the event earns 10% in free product and

c.       The customer can also earn 10% in free product, when they host a party.

Being a consultant will SAVE YOU MONEY!!!   There are other perks too, but that’s the basics.

Example savings: If you were to buy the Freeze Dried Ground Beef Pack (12 cans) = $418.99 ($34.92/can… a phenomenal price to begin with.)You get:

a.       $41.90 in commission and

b.      $41.90 in free product!

c.       $100.00 in ½ off product

How do you become a consultant?

As a consultant, you don’t have to sell anything! There are only 2 requirements:

1.       Buy a kit.  They start at $199.  I recommend the one that is $289 (with shipping it is $329)

2.       Have a monthly shipment to your house (a “Q” *) of at least $50.  We recommend $80 because the shipping cost for $1-$80 is $7.99.  We figure you might as well get the most bang for your shipping buck.

How Much Do Thrive Life Consultants Make?

A Real Life Example Broken Down By Rank

I thought it might be helpful to many of my readers to know how much money I made/make as a Thrive Life Consultant.   The following is a list of what the average consultant makes at each rank (numbers are from Thrive Life) and then a real life example of what I actually made as I worked through the ranks.  
I often get asked how much Thrive Life Consultants make. Here is my best answer.

As a Consultant the average Thrive Life commission is $60 a month. 
This would pay for your Q which in essence means you are getting your food storage for "free” or at least the cost of your time to do about one party a month. This is good in that you are not subtracting from the household budget while accumulating your food storage.

As a consultant I made a wide range of commissions, my first month I made $25.70.  I was the rank of consultant for several months.  The last month I was a consultant I made about $200.00 in commission.  I think that this is a pretty common situation.  It takes a while to get parties set up and your business rolling. 



As a Mentor the average Thrive Life commission check is $400. 
An extra $400 coming in can make the difference a lot of us are looking for. I know it makes me sound totally cheap but an extra $400 a month was big/is money to me. 
As a mentor I made on average about $500.00 in commission a month

As a Director the average Thrive Life commission check is $800.  
As a director I made about $550.00 in commission a month.  I was only a director for a very short time. 

As an Executive Director the average Thrive Life commission check is $1000. 
This is nearly a house payment (depending on your house).   This is the extra fun stuff you want but don't want to purchase out of your regular monthly income.
As an executive I made about $1,300.00 in commission a month

As a Silver Executive the average Thrive Life Commission check is $2000.
 As a silver executive I make about $2050.00 in commission each month. I hit Silver Executive after being a consultant for 14 months.   

As a Gold Executive the average commission in a month is $3000.
This is enough to replace income.
As a Gold Executive I make about $2,800.00 a month.   I hit gold executive after being a consultant for 19 months.  

As a Platinum Executive the average commission in a month is $6000! 
And this number will only get bigger as your team grows.
I hit Platinum Executive for the first time in November of 2012. That month I made $6,253.31 in commission.    I became a platinum executive after being a consultant for 31 months.  You might notice that it took me a year to progress from Gold Executive to Platinum.  The jump in team sales between the two is pretty large (gold is $100,000 in team sales, and Platinum is $200,000 in team sales) which is a big jump.  It is very typical for a consultant to be a Gold Executive for a longer time while they build their team to get up to the Platinum mark.

One of the benefits of being a Platinum Executive was my very own cartoon pirate.  Given to me by my upline.  I always wanted to be a cartoon character.

Commissions: How do Thrive Life Consultants Get Paid?

 Thrive Life Consultants get paid three ways.

Flat orders — You get a 10% commission on all one-time orders placed through you or your consultant URL.  This is for all Thrive Life products including shelving, food and emergency supplies

Q customers — This is a great way to build a steady income.  When customers sign up for a Q, you get paid off of it every month.  1st month Q sales get paid on a scale between 20-32%.  After this first month, you will get paid 5% commission as long as their Q remains active.  See this chart for more Q details.

Team Building — The last way to earn money as a Thrive Life Consultant is to multiply your efforts through team building.  For every new consultant that signs up on your first level, you will receive a $50 sign up bonus.  You also get paid commission on sales for up to 3 levels of your down-line.  This chart shows the requirements for each rank and the down-line earnings.

Your Personal THRIVE Q Payment	Monthly Personal Sales	Monthly Team Sales (You + 3 levels)	Rank	Your Team Earnings
				level 1	level 2	level 3
$50	$0		Consultant
$50	$1,500	$3,000	Mentor	1%
$50	$2,500	$10,000	Director	2%
$100	$3,500	$25,000	Executive	2%	1%
$100	$4,500	$50,000	Silver Executive	2%	2%
$150	$5,000	$100,000	Gold Executive	2%	2%	1%
$150	$5,500	$200,000	Platinum Executive	2%	2%	2%

You will notice that team earnings are based on 3 requirements:
1. Your personal THRIVE Q order for the month
2. Total personal sales for the month (these include your party orders for the month as well as any Q orders that processed that month)
3. Total team sales for the month (your sales plus three levels below you)

Earnings are based on the lowest qualifying total.

Note: Monthly totals are based on the calendar month. Team earnings will fluctuate according to each month’s totals, however your rank will remain at its highest point.
