Managing Your Paisley Peppercorn Business
Here are a few steps that we recommend for you to get off to the right start with your new Paisley Peppercorn business.
Open a Separate Checking Account:
this is the ideal way to keep personal and business funds separate. A separate account will make it easier for you to see how much income you've received and quickly identify tax-deductible expenses.
Money Holder:
Use a pouch, envelope or some other way to store payments you receive at workshops.
Create a Contact System:
Your system will likely change as your business grows. The goal is to find a system that's easy to use and maintain to keep your contact information in order.
Organize Your Paperwork and Sales Aides:
Whether you use a filing cabinet, sturdy boxes or notebook, designate a place to store your sales aids and file your paperwork.
Organize Your Records:
Avoid paper pile-ups that can take the fun out any job! Organizing your records also take a bit of the sting out of preparing for your taxes. Here's a brief list of the file headings to start.
- Newsletters
- Customer Orders
- Personal Orders for business use
- Business Receipts by category
- Monthly Expense Record Sheets
Learn About Your Sales Aides
Are you ready to take a customer order with confidence?
Recommend the appropriate product to meet the need?

Look through the sales aids in your Business Kit as well as the documents listed below for download at your convenience.
- Catalogs: Take enough for each expected guest and give the Host extra catalogs in her Host Packet

- Consultant Application
- Party Prep Supplies

Learn About Your Product:
While it's not necessary to have a wealth of product knowledge from the start, you'll be able to better service your customers and see increased sales as you learn specific features and benefits of your products. Gaining product knowledge is an ongoing process.
Paisley Product Cards will be a great reference tool at Workshops and Samplers- Ingredients, product suggestions, and healthy news, a must for Workshops.

How to Submit Orders
We have 2 methods for submitting orders:
1.You can fax your orders in with a Workshop Total Cover Sheet included to 208-620-2288. Be sure to include your Name and Consultant ID number on every page/order you submit.
2.When submitting Customer Orders, Business Supply Orders or Consultant Orders you will use our Share file system. Share file is an encrypted file transfer service that we use to ensure high security for sensitive information. This link is for our account specifically so all you need to do is click on the link and it will direct you on uploading
files.
The link for this upload is :
You can copy and paste this and it will take you
straight to the upload. Or just click on this link.
You will need to scan the Workshop Total Sheet and Order Forms into your computer (I usually save them in a file named with the hostess or event name.) Then once you have saved them in a file you can upload them to the sharefile system.
When submitting workshop order you will use the Workshop Total Sheet as a cover sheet to your order. This sheet lets the home office know what your hostess earned as well as how many total customers/orders you are submitting as well as which customers paid by cc versus check or cash.
Paisley Peppercorn will process cc orders for the consultant at no additional fee. If a customer is paying by check or cash they would need to make the checks out to the consultant and then the consultant is responsible for submitting total payment due with the order.
Once workshops or customer orders have been submitted, you will receive and invoice for any amount due through our pay pal invoicing system
