Independent Beauty Consultant Questions

What does it mean to be a LUV + CO. Independent Cosmetics Consultant?

LUV + CO. Cosmetic Consultants are independent business owners that have joined our beauty consultant program and are therefore authorized to sell products on the LUV + CO. website.  Beauty consultants operate their own business as independent contractors or affiliates and are not employees.  Beauty consultants wear, share and sell LUV + CO. products through virtual parties or events, in-person events or parties, sharing on social media or 1:1 virtual or in person consultations.  Beauty consultants excited about the products we offer earn a commission on sales.  They do not hold inventory like wholesalers and do not sell product in brick and mortar venues or other e-commerce platforms (such as Etsy, Amazon or their own e-comm sites).  Each beauty consultant receives their own LUV + CO website upon enrollment in our program.  Please read the in-depth terms and conditions form upon enrolling for more explanation. 

How long has LUV + CO. been in business and are your products sold via direct sales currently?

LUV + CO. has been in business for ten years.  We have purposefully grown organically and slowly so that our success would be sustainable.  Our products have been successfully sold via direct sales by our partner www.buyblackmovement.com for the last eight years.  Now we are ready to build our own beauty consultant community!

Are there any restrictions to enroll as a Beauty Consultant?

Yes. All enrollees must be US residents, minimum of 18 years old and have a high school diploma.  Previous social media experience, small business marketing experience, a personality that loves to connect and support other women are all great assets as well.

Do I need to buy inventory?

No. All sales are sold through your replicated website.  You do not hold inventory or have to collect payments outside of the software or deliver orders.  However, you may decide (optional) to purchase testers of our products to have at your home to test and share in person or on social media.  Testers are included in our starter kits.  If there are items/colors that you don’t purchase at sign-up, full-size products may be purchased with your beauty consultant discount throughout your time as an active beauty consultant.

How are products sold to my customers shipped to them?

The LUV + CO. corporate team picks, packs and ships all orders to your customers.

Do I need to have sales experience?

If you have sales experience you are one step ahead of the game and your experience will be a valuable asset to your success selling LUV + CO.  If you don't have sales experience, we offer basic training to all new beauty advisors from corporate and through your sponsor.  Advanced training will also be available to you as you grow within the company.  We are here to support you!

Will I be able to connect with other LUV + CO. Beauty Consultants and receive training and support?

Yes!  We are a very supportive community that is built on the principles of women supporting women in business.  Your sponsor and other beauty consultants will support you in addition to the LUV + CO. corporate team.  Once you enroll, you will have access to a beauty consultant forum within the back office.

How is LUV + CO. different from other direct sales companies?

LUV + CO. is the only "for us by us" direct sales company.  We are 100% black owned and the only color cosmetics direct sales company exclusive to clean beauty that centers the beauty and wellness needs of women of color.  We also specialize in product development for brown and black skin tones, skin issues and hair textures.  We represent our culture visually in all we do on all platforms.  We make it a point to hire people of color and work with suppliers and vendors that are people of color (models, graphic desigers, suppliers, etc.).  In short, the black beauty dollars are recycled into our community.

How much do I need to invest when I sign up?

After the initial enrollment fee, LUV + CO. offers several optional starter kits that you can choose from.  The starter kit that you choose will be dependent on your budget and desire of the number of products you desire to have at home to share to your community.  When you sign up to be a LUV + CO. Beauty Consultant, you may decide to order an optional Starter Kit.  You may also want to purchase a handful of bestselling LUV + CO. products so you can share what you love, but that’s completely up to you. We keep costs minimal because we want you to be successful as soon as possible without incurring debt to grow your new business!

Are there any other fees after enrollment?

Yes.  Once you get up and running in your new business.  Your website, back-office and basic training costs $14.99 per month.  This includes unlimited tech support and corporate office and sponsor support by phone or email in addition to virtual sessions. 

There is also an annual renewal fee of $49.99 to stay active in the network.  Staying active allows you to keep earning commission on your personal purchases and sales.  Advanced training and full conferences (pay to attend) will also be available as your grow your business.

How many hours do I need to work as a LUV + CO. Beauty Consultant?
