Country Gourmet Home Review
Country Gourmet Home Review
Country Gourmet Home has been in business since 1996 and was taken over by its current owners, Shane and Amy Pitcher, in 2010.
Country Gourmet Home sells gourmet food mixes through home parties and fundraisers. They have a large product line that includes mixes for baked goods, dips, dinners, sides, soups, seasonings, and more. The mixes require only basic kitchen ingredients or water.
The company also sells wax warmers and over 200 scents of wax melts.
Becoming an independent consultant for Country Gourmet Home is simple. You can choose from two options:
- Independent Gourmet Basic Consultant
- No beginning order requirements, must place an order within 30 days of signing up to activate their account.
- This option is for people who want a low ($25) quarterly sales requirement and don't want their own website or to build a downline. - Independent Advanced Gourmet Consultant
- Must activate their account by purchasing a kit (starting at $29.95)
- Minimum quarterly sales requirement of $100
- Receives free website
- Earns 3% commission on downline sales - An Independent Advanced Gourmet Consultant with 3 or more recruits becomes an Independent Gourmet Leader
- Receives website with additional "about me" pages
- Earns 5-10% commission on downline sales
Consultants have the option but are not required to purchase supplies and catalogs. They also receive a discount on products purchased for shows or personal use. Consultants with active recruits are awarded additional free product credits.
I haven't personally tried any of Country Gourmet Home's products, but I have read and heard several positive reviews. I like the straightforward nature of their compensation plan and the fact that they have low sales requirements in order to remain active. Consultants who don't want to build a downline can still earn commissions on their personal sales. It looks like a good option for someone who is interested in a home party business, especially since the company is still growing and chances are good that they will be the only Country Gourmet Home consultant in their area.
