My Pure Romance Story (so far)
 | | Pure Romance Convention, Las Vegas. |
It's true. I have an independent streak. For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to have my own business to call the shots. I dreamed of owning a coffee shop or boutique as a teenager. Somewhere along the way, I got sidetracked.
After college, I found myself working a demanding job in the nonprofit sector. I still thought about having my own business "someday" but as I researched business start-ups, it seemed complicated and expensive. So I put that dream on hold for "later"...and seven years went by.
 | | Pure Romance Bahamas Trip |
I first heard of "Romance Parties" from a girlfriend who wanted me to host one. I Googled it and found Pure Romance. How intriguing that was! I was interested in hosting a party, but then I clicked on the "Sell Pure Romance" area of the website and my wheels really started to turn. I could essentially start a Pure Romance Business for a few hundred dollars? I could keep my day job as backup and work around my career? Some of my girlfriends
were getting married that spring, so I figured I could do their bachelorette parties, pay off my kit...and who knows!
 | | Pure Romance Hawaii Trip |
So I jumped in. My husband thought I had lost my mind! I could barely talk to him about sex, and he wondered how I would present the subject matter to strangers. I told him I didn't know either, but I believed I could do this.
 | | Naples, Florida - Board of Directors Meeting |
During my first party with friends and acquaintances, I was terrified, but sold $600 in products to a handful of women. AND I HAD A BLAST!!
The women I got to meet through the parties were absolutely wonderful. Everytime I went to work, I ended up at a "party"!! Months passed, and I truly fell in love with Pure Romance. I decided to leave my day job and pursue this as my full time career.
 | | Pure Romance in Italy! |
Fast forward to 2011! As a Pure Romance consultant, I've traveled more in the past few years than I had in my entire life!
In addition to our Las Vegas and Nashville Conventions, I've been fortunate to win trips to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Italy and even a Mediterranean Cruise. I love that my husband gets to travel with me for free! (by the way, he now refers to Pure Romance as the best financial decision HE ever made - lol!)  | | All Star Team Members with Patty Brisben in Las Vegas! |
Let's talk dollars! I now earn more as a Pure Romance consultant than I did working long hours at my full time job in the nonprofit sector. I currently average three parties per week, and work when I want to. I never have to ask for time off! It is the best feeling.
In addition to my party schedule, I work with our All Star Team of 100+ consultants from across the country who I train and mentor.
What could a Pure Romance business do for you and your family?

Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
BIGGEST WEEKEND HAUL: $1,300
Nanette first heard about Pure Romance when a friend invited her to one of the company's Tupperware-style sex-toy parties at the end of 2009. "I immediately knew this was something I wanted to do. As a rep, you have to be confident in yourself and manage people's inhibitions toward sex. When I talk to a customer, I try to figure out what this person needs but is too mortified to admit," says Nanette, who works as an actuarial analyst during the week. Her initial box of supplies arrived in January 2010, and over the course of several parties she hosted the weekend before Valentine's Day, she pocketed $1,300....

Freqently Asked Questions About Becoming a Pure Romance Consultant
Q. How do I sign up?
A. If you are not currently working with a consultant, you can sign up online by following this link! Please know that though you will be in business for yourself, you will never be by yourself. As your sponsor, it's my responsibility to help train you, serve as a sounding board, and provide ongoing support.
Q. What is the role of a "Sponsor"?
A. A sponsor's role is to help mentor you in the business. When you are first getting started you will have TONS of questions! It's your sponsor's role to help you navigate through your first few parties and provide ongoing support as you grow your business. Having a sponsor is not required. However, you don't gain anything by not having one (and potentially lose out on a valuable resource!). You only get to sign up once, so seek out a sponsor who you trust, respect, and will be available to you.
Q. How much does it cost to get started?
A. Usually $199-$1499 for your starter kit. All consultants purchase a starter kit and sign a consultant contract. The starter kit will provide you with products and paperwork to do your first show (or couple shows...depending on which one you select).
Q. How do I make money as a consultant?
A. There are multiple ways to earn income as a Pure Romance consultant. Let's quickly review them:
1. Buy products at a discount and sell them at a markup (pretty much like any retail business) New consultants start at a either a 35% or 50% discount (depends on which kit is purchased), and can eventually move up to as high as 60%. We do not sell our products in stores, so the vehicle for selling is through in-home parties. Women invite you into their homes to entertain their friends by demonstrating our sophisticated line of lotions, lubricants, massage aids, and bedroom accessories.
2. Direct customers to your website. When customers visit your website and place orders, Pure Romance processes the orders for you and you receive credits on file to use as cash towards future orders.
3. Build a successful team of consultants. Recruiting is always a choice - never required. However, when you invite other women to join the business and help train them to be successful, Pure Romance rewards you with a higher buying discount and monthly override bonuses.
Q. How much do you make?
A. On average, I earn about $250 in profit for each party I do. Not bad for under 4 hours of work. Of course this is different for everyone. Consultants who have earned a larger buying discount will earn more, and those just starting out may earn less.
Monthly, I earn an average of $3,000 in profit from my party sales and an additional $2,000-$3,000 in bonuses from Pure Romance based on the sales of my team.
Q. What type of women sell Pure Romance?
A. All kinds of women! Discard any preconceived notions you may have about the type of women who do romance parties. We have 18 year old single girls and 63 year old grandmothers, high school dropouts and attorneys, women who have struggled financially and those who were financially set long before they decided to become consultants. Each woman has her own unique story for why she decided to join.
Q. I could never get up in front of strangers and talk about sex - how do you do it?
A. If you told me a few years ago I would be doing this, I never would have believed you! I could hardly talk with my husband about sex, let alone complete strangers. However, training and support offered is phenomenal, and once you get through the first show jitters, it's a piece of cake!
Q. What if I just don't like it?
A. Then stop - no hard feelings. When you start I'll work with you on a plan to do a handful of shows to try it out. If at that point you decide it's not for you, you should have your kit paid for and $ in your pocket. At that point you can throw in the towel and have some very nice products for yourself. BUT, you might decide that you love it!
Q. What are the monthly quotas & recruiting requirements?
A. They are minimal. Once you become "active" which means you've sold $250 in retail products within 60 days of signing up, you just need to place a $100 retail order every three months to stay active. There are no recruiting requirements, but there are rewards for building a successful team.
Q. Will I have a website?
A. Yes! Pure Romance provides all consultants with a FREE personal website. Orders placed through your website are processed and shipped by the corporate office and you receive credit for these orders. Direct people to your website and reap rewards for doing nothing at all!
Q. How do I book parties?
A. There are lots of ways to book shows when you're first starting out. Most of your bookings will come from your other parties. The first, thing you'll want to do is host your own "launch party" where you will invite all the women you know to help you launch your business! This is something I can help you with. I also have a great document with 100 booking ideas I'll share with you.
Q. Why Pure Romance vs. other "Romance" companies?
A. We're a class act. We give back to the community.Not only are our parties tasteful and educational, Pure Romance is affiliated with a number of academic institutions (Sex Education week at Yale! Kinsey Institute!), and philanthropic organizations (we have a program specifically designed to help women who have undergone cancer treatment recapture their sensuous selves). We've been featured in tons of publications (Womens' Health, Forbes, Entrepreneur) and on television programs like "the View."
Q. I have children at home. How does that work?
A. Many successful consultants have young families. By taking a few precautionary measures (such as establishing a locked "Pure Romance" closet) you can successfully run your business while establishing boundaries with your children. I'm happy to share some creative ways other moms are thriving in this business.
