Lia Sophia Jewelry Parties
We’ve been getting great responses on the Lia Sophia jewelry post we made some time ago. Great! Thing is, it hasn’t all been positive… The problems Kelli has had are a serious issue….
I’m currently writing an article on Lia Sophia for the magazine, and it seems like not too many people have reported these issues… Anyone know whether or not they have been resolved?
Anyways, the parties are half the fun… I can’t wait ’till my next one :D

The new lia sophia Spring/Summer catalog is debuting in just a few weeks. Check out my website to preview this gorgeous new line!
It’s a great time to be in business!
I ran accross this website while researching lia sophia because of this ad on craigslist.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/sls/981192929.html
According to the research I have done there are start-up fees correct? I am in the DFW area so if there is an advisor in this area I would love to get more information locally. My e-mail is alissafashions@gmail.com.
Tks!
If I were a Lia Sophia representative, I would encourage everyone to keep their receipt but let them know that I could help provide them with a copy if they misplaced theirs. Isn’t that just good Customer Service?
Hi- I am considering becoming an advisor and have been reading about a lot of the great benefits. However, I am confused on who I contact in order to receive further information before making an agreement and ordering the starter kit. I am in NY. Also, I read that after the starter kit is purchased you will need to committ to 5 bookings- now I assume I will have to find people willing to host a party correct? Also, is there a timeframe on how long I would have to book the parties and if I do not book them w/in that time then will lose being an advisor?
Hi Everyone…let me help you out.
You can join lia sophia under anyone anywhere. I have teammates all over the US. I’d love to share more with anyone intersted.
This is my only job and I am passionate about creating a great environment for success with my teammates!
You may contact me directly at 715-207-1276 or via my website..just click on my name and you will find it!
The requirements to join.
Purchase the kit… on sale in Jan for just $124
It contains over $1050 in jewelry and then biz supplies.
We set up a Debut for you where friends gather and look at your items, browse the catalog. You share about our hostess program, our guest special, the lifetime guarantee and a bit about the biz. Perhaps play our really fun purse game or Ringo Bingo.
Guests shop and have a relaxed couple of hours.
You do not need to commit to 5 bookings… It is your biz to do as you wish with. I encourage at least 3 shows in 5 weeks to earn the Corp bonus.
Those who do 6 shows in 6 weeks with me get $500 in sampler jewelry from me…you pick it out!! By then you will also have earned more bonuses in jewelry from the Corp office.
And have a rolling business!!
The only real requirement to stay an ACTIVE advisor is to submit at least a $250 show every 12 weeks.
If you do not, you go off mail and inactive. A show submitted re-activates you. Inactive for 15 months and you do drop out.
Shows can be online, book, in home, booths, fundraisers, and more. Even single orders earn you $.
Please as suggested above, contact me for more info.
Working less than full time last year I earned a fabulous income, earned a cruise for two, and thousands of dollars in FREE jewelry!
Hope to hear from you soon.

Samantha,
Although relatively new to lia sophia myself, I know that who you want to contact to sign your agreement with is basically like choosing who you want to be your “mom” in this business. You’re choosing who you want to teach you and coach you and train you. My upline is Kristy Dunaway and she’s fabulous and very well known for her quick sucess in lia sophia. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat, if I weren’t trying to build a team of my own! lol So, quite frankly, if you want to join with someone who teaches what she does, email me! I’m more than happy to help you get started – train you the very best way I know how – and cheer you on every step of your journey! I’m not about re-inventing the wheel, when my upline works this business as sucessfully as she has, I’m all about copying that and teaching those same principles – because I know they work! The proof is in the pudding, as they say! lol
No matter what you decide, good luck to you! It’s fun to get paid to sparkle!!

Samantha,
Forgot to answer that your first party needs to be held within 30 days of getting your kit. And the suggested first 5 shows can be held anytime really. However, if you are at ALL interested in earning free jewelry certificates that are offered all new advisors, you’d want to schedule them in your first 5 weeks of that first party. Basically, this will ensure that you qualify for the first free jewelry certificate that can be earned as a new advisor (a $200 certificate!). I can explain in further detail via email if you wish. But please know, this is all just a recommendation, and by no means a rule….if you do it – great! (I enjoyed redeeming my 3 $200 gift certs a few weeks ago!) But if you aren’t motivated that way, and don’t do it, you’re still loved and important to the team – we all have our own pace.

I had a Lia Sophia party in November and ordered several pieces. I found out after I got them that my adviser ordered one of my pieces as a sample and it was sent to her instead of me. When I got it, I didn’t care for it and wanted to return it and now I can’t because she got it as a sample for $15.00. Now she isn’t selling anymore and I am stuck with this necklace. Anyone have any suggestions? I really like the jewelry and the LRG but I wish this would have been handled differently. Customer service said I was stuck with the piece. Any advise would be appreicated. Thanks. Reply to Christi at onemannwoman@hotmail.com
The reason the rings discolor is due to the chemical makeup of the oil in your skin. All silver lia sophia jewelry is Rodium plated…just like many rings that big name jewelry stores sell. Over time the rings may need new rodium plating. My husband’s wedding band that we paid $1100 for needed it after only a year of wear. Please do send your items back. If you need to print a return form, you can do so by going to the lia sophia website at http://www.liasophia.com and where it talks about the lifetime guarentee you should be able to print a form. You may have to pay a $5 fee but they will send you a new ring. I hope this helps you. Please feel free to contact me at BethNickerson522@aol.com if you need any help.
Hi everyone -
If anyone is looking to become a lia sophia advisor in the Maryland area, I’m currently recruiting new advisors! Our team is awesome and we are growing quickly.
I’d be happy to hold your hand every step of the way to get you started with your own lia sophia business.
One benefit when I started was that my upline was local. She gave me tons of hands on information, shared her jewelry in the beginning, etc.
Please feel free to contact me directly or via my website if you are considering becoming an advisor!
It’s the greatest choice I have ever made.

I am going to be a new advisor as of 1/29/09. After my best friend talked me into helping her sale I decided after reading up on how wonderful and seeing her jewelry I wanted to do this for myself! I am soon to be a single mom and anything helps! I will be selling in the Houston area and would love to start my new year off right with LOTS of bookings! If you or you know anyone that is interested in this gorgeous jewelry please contact me at liasophiahouamy@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
I have recently joined Lia Sophia as an Advisor. I am excited about the company, products and opportunity Lia Sophia offers. I was concerned about the quality and styles of the jewelry but my concerns quickly vanished when I saw it in person! The quality is phenomonal and the styles are right in line with the todays fashions and trends. It is truly beautiful, high quality jewelry with something for everyone! The Lifetime Guarantee is icing on the cake. I am currently building my team in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and would like to talk to anyone that might be interested in a fun, money-making opportunity. Contact me at twakefield0324@aol.com
Thanks,
Teresa

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. jamie.stratton@gmail.com or 5174040893
I just bought a Lia Sophia ring this weekend and put the ring on no more than 4 hours ago. This ring is ALREADY turning my finger green. I have bought another ring from Lia Sophia about 2 years ago, and wear it often. This 2 year old ring went from turning my finger green to turning it BLACK…yah BLACK! I’m really upset that I have paid so much for jewelry I could’ve gotten at Clarie’s, and had the same affect for a quarter of the price.
Samantha,
Like many have said, you can become an Advisor under anyone who you choose. I am in New York State and I have advisors here and in Maryland. If you need any further assistance, please let me know! (KFIT1979@aol.com)
Thanks!

Lia Sophia is an amazing company filled with strong and wonderful women (and men)! I love this job!! Lia Sophia has brought so much to my life in the past year and a half … great money, wonderful friendships, confidence, prizes (cars, trips, cash), flexible schedule … endless possibilities.
I live Connecticut and would love to help anyone interested in this opportunity or getting some of Lia Sophia’s beautiful quality jewelry. You can contact me through my website or email (KLCafferty@sbcglobal.net).
I have just discovered Lia Sophia and am so excited to start next month. Last year I worked with the “other” jewelry company. It was great! However, the registration fee is more than I can handle. Also the cost of the sample package was a lot. Direct sales is new to me (my only retail experience was last year, prior to that I spent 27 years in an office environment). I have already recruited my first team member! Please understand, I have yet to go to a home show. I heard about Lia Sophia from my daughter, she contacted her friend and I attended a sponsoring event Tuesday (yes, just last week) and saw the jewelry for the first time. As everyone (well, except me) knows catalogues, computer pictures, etc. fail to capture the beauty of most jewelry. I was very impressed with line. Tonight I am going to another advisor’s party. The person I recruited was my hairdresser. We both are impressed by the organization.
A couple of things I learned from my other jewelry experience: 1. It is not unreasonable to book shows before you start. Booking is the biggest challenge for me. 2. Attend any training afforded. 3. My upline (Lia Sophia) extended invitations to their shows and offered to come to mine to assist, train, whatever I needed. 4. Both companies advisors also offered to let me borrow some of their pieces for my shows until I had enough sample. 5. Lia Sophia will buy back your jewelry at 90% of your cost if you choose not to be an advisor within the first year. 6. You get out what you put in.
I am thrilled to start (oh,I already have two shows booked). Anyone interested in becoming an advisor or booking a show please contact me at lsosbo4343@aol.com. I am in the metro Denver area but I know who some of my advisors will be and they are all over the country.
God bless, Linda
I have just started as a lia sophia advisor. I am trying to find out what happens if you don’t get qualified in your first 5 weeks. I was told that I have to have $1500 in sales to be qualified. My network of people is small and the parties I have had have been friends trying to help, but they have been to too many shows in a short time to buy much.
Thanks,
-Katy
Erica,
I’m not a Lia Sophia advisor but my best friend is so I do know quite a lot about the jewelry. There is a misconception about the reason rings can turn our fingers green or black – it has absolutely nothing to do with the ring being “cheap”. Everyone’s body chemistry and oils in our skin is different and sometimes it results in our skin turning colors. I have an 18ct gold band I purchased from Zales that also turned my finger green once in a while. You can use clear nailpolish on the inside of the ring to solve your problem. The nailpolish won’t harm the ring and it will prevent your skin from turning colors.

HI, i became a lia sophia advisor back in October of 2008. I was doing really well the first month in a half. Then the holidays came, i started school, signed up for classes at church…things just got too busy for me so i stopped booking shows. At the end of January i started getting back into booking shows. I have been trying to book more but i am not having much luck. I even got my friend to join as well. We have soo much fun and love doing the shows, but we cant seem to keep the shows. They either reschedule or cancel “until further notice”. What am i doing wrong? I offer to bank teller, Dtr receptionist, etc.. How can i get bookings outside the shows? Please help me with any ideas you might have. I am desperate!
I am considering becoming a Lia Sophia advisor. I went to a regional meeting with a friend who is an advisor. I had a great time and am convinced that there is a huge potential to make a lot of money. However, I am worried about getting the bookings that I need. With the economy I don’t know if people are willing to spend the money. Please help!!
Hi Katy, There is a misconception out there a lot about becoming a “qualified advisor”. You will not be out of the company if you do not meet the $1,500 in sales, you will just miss out on the $200 jewelry certificate and the recruiting advisor would not be able to count you as a qualified recruit, which helps her earn the free trip, which is currently for Cancun Palace. You will still be an advisor and be able to enter parties and receive commission. I hope this helped you out!
I think one of the best ways to get your business going again is having an open house at your home. I have done this by sending out and handing out about 100 invites (mainly to friends and family and I walked through my neighborhood and tacked them onto the mail box posts). By doing this I ended up getting three bookings and had enough sales to enter as a show for myself. Just a thought. Hope it helps.
Wow! I can’t believe how long this thread is!! Its great! I am considering working with Lia Sophia and I have never done this sort of thing before. I have a question that I haven’t seen brought up and it may be a silly one: is the only way you’re allowed to sell the jewelry is through house parties? I mean, could you also, say, have a booth at a local craft fair or something like that and sell the product? Could you hold the parties not at your home but at some other neutral place — like renting out a small conference room — or holding a party at your other place of business (after hours), if you work in an office or something. I’m not too proud of the look of my home right now and I really wouldn’t want to host any parties in it. So, just some thoughts in my head. Are those types of things allowed?
Hi,
I just wanted to respond to the gal above.
You never have to have people at your home to sell lia sophia. You can go to area events or just to other homes and bring your samples for others to try and buy.
I live in Wisconsin and have been selling for a long time. I have two direct selling business’ and lia sophia is by far the cheapest and easiest to start.
$149 to start. I paid for my starter kit and made a profit from my business before I even got the bill for my kit. No inventory which is great. My other business is a purse business and it’s back breaking and takes up half my house in inventory.
My first month I did 7 parties at the homes of friends and family and made over $2000.00.
There’s not too many business that are that easy.
I just had my own party and invited everyone and then I took all the bookings from that to start.
Email me I’d love to help you get started.

Hi Nadia,
I noticed you had concerns about becoming an advisor with the economy.
This sounds strange but since the economy took a dive my shows have sky rocketed. I honestly think jewelry makes women feel better and with lia sophia they know they are getting a lot for their money because of the reverse save plan. Most other jewelry companies make you spend a lot before you get any deals.
Yes you can set up booths at fairs and businesses. You might get more bookings then sales at fairs since you don’t have the jewerly to purchase right there. But a great way to get your name out and to get contacts. You can have hostesses have their parties at their homes or in restaraunt party rooms etc.
I had a bad experience with lia sophia myself. I spent over 70.00 on a ring and it turned my finger green…. I think Lia Sophia is way to overpriced for being costume jewelry. I can by sterling silver that will last forever for less then lia sophias jewelry.
I dont care what anyone one says about how it doesnt normally turn your finger green. I have been wearing rings for a long time and have only had this happen with Lia Sophia. Its because they are not real, it is costume. I also bought a necklace for my daughter and it broke the first day… I just cant believe they charge that much for there items. And where is it made anyways? Thats why they can give so much away when you host a party because people pay way to much for it where LS I am sure gets it for really cheap and they can afford to. I think there stuff is pretty but not worth the price.
Sorry to the LS ladies out there but I am so frustrated with the company.
If Lia Sophia is so great, can someone explain why it is so expensive, but made in China or Korea?
Before I became a Silpada representative, I did check out some lia sophia jewelry. My sister in law has had many problems with the l.s. jewelry turning her skin different colors. I also had a pair of earrings that I had a reaction to and my ears got infected because of it. This does not happen with real gold or silver, but I don’t think l.s. jewelry is real gold or silver. Cass, you hit the nail on the head. It is costume jewelry. It’s great if you want to have a bunch of pieces, but not so great if you want it last long enough to pass on to a child or family member.
The reason I started with Silpada is because all of their jewelry is hand-crafted and it is all .925 Sterling Silver. No costume jewelry. It is backed by a lifetime guarantee, which means it will last you and it is designed to be jewelry that you can pass on to your kids. Of course it’s going to be more expensive than others, but you really do get what you pay for!
I am so happy with Silpada jewelry, and encourage all of you that are disappointed with the others to check it out!
On a side note…. I found an article that will help to explain why some people’s skin turns green from wearing this jewelry. It’s interesting to check out! Make sure when you order from one of these jewelry companies, that you find out if the jewelry you are buying is simply plated (silver over nickel or steel) or is actually full sterling or gold. You want to spend your money on what will last you the longest!

John;
Knock off the spam, already!
My goodness it is quiet around here lately!
We have just gotten our update for all the wonderful pieces leaving our catalog in preperation for our FALL/WINTER catalog launch on Aug. 1!
If there are bits of bling from lia sophia that you must have, now is the time to pick them up.
I also wanted to say a warm WELCOME to all the new Unit members on our team!
Have a fabulous summer everyone!
Lynn
I’ve just started selling Lia Sophia Jewelry and am having a fabulous time!!! This will be my first catalog turn over. I have seen the items they will be removing from the catalog … I’m kinda bummed because I have quite a few of the pieces. Any suggestions as to what I should do with the retired pieces, come August???
Per our Agreement we may not sell them so what many Advisors do is donate them to charitable events and take the tax writeoff, or use them as booking incentives for your hostesses.
Give them as gifts to family, friends.
Offer them as prizes when groups do fundraisers with you.
JUST ALWAYS be sure to let those receiving the items know that these prizes are not covered by our Warranty.
Check out lia sophia’s new FACEBOOK page!
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lia-Sophia/92887072932
You can become a fan, watch video’s, and even upload your photo and try jewelry on! It is so awesome.
Let me know what you think…leave me a message via my website.. click on my name to link you there.
have fun!

I attended a Lia Sophia party last night and what an unpleasant experience! I must admit I’m fascinated by your cult of sales reps, it reminds me of old school Mary Kay, only there are no pink suits, pink caddies or pink hair. At least here in NJ, I can’t speak for the rest of the nation lol. So I’ve spent a lazy Saturday reading up on the subject.
The rep at this party was so pushy and tried SO hard to bully me into not only buying jewelry I just didn’t care for, but into hosting a party and even working for the company. She actually demanded to know WHY I wasn’t ordering anything and WHY I didn’t like the product and demanded that if I just purchased something I would change my mind. The thing is I was polite about not wanting to buy that should have been that, but it wasn’t. I made my apologies to the hostess and left well before the party was over.
I didn’t order for a few reasons. First off I didn’t see anything displayed or in the book that I would actually wear, I prefer simple and elegant, this stuff is just not that. Some people like big, bold pieces and that’s fine but it’s just not me and I wouldn’t feel comfortable in them. Secondly, price. Yes you have some simple hoop earrings and such but why in the world would I pay a small fortune for something that’s plated when I can go to a real jewelry store and get real sterling silver for the same price or less? Thirdly the quality was just lacking in the pieces that were displayed, stones are glued in not set, something I would expect from a product line billed as “filling the gap between costume jewelry and fine jewelry” And lastly I have gone into NYC and picked up almost the same items for my daughter in Chinatown and paid no more than $10 a piece, same exact quality, same designs. Why pay Lia Sophia a hefty sum to be the middleman when I can go there and buy directly?
I’ve read up about this company. All the reps parrot the same things; if your skin turns green is your body chemistry not their product, it’s worth the higher price for that lifetime warranty! Here is what you fail to mention at the time of sale. Yes, you can get a cash refund but ONLY for the first 45 days. After 120 days you have to pay a $5 fee to exchange. You switch product lines every 6 months so the odds are you won’t have the item anymore. If the similar item is more than the first time you not only have to pay the difference you have to pay yet another fee AND you have to pay for shipping. Your “free” replacement can end up costing you as much as $20 even if it’s only a $30 piece.
Also when you type Lia Sophia into Google, the suggested searches that come up include Lia Sophia Scam, Lia Sophia Pyramid Scheme, Lia Sophia Complaints and Lia Sophia Rip Off. Sounds like there are a lot of unhappy Lia Sophia customers using Google! But the real deal breaker for me and the reason I’ll never go to another party no matter who is having it is this: The Better Business Bureau gives Lia Sophia the grade “F” for its high volume of complaints and unresolved complaints. Why would anyone even think about doing business with this company knowing that?
Oh My, what an angry posting.
On the surface your comments sound legitimate, but when the facts are presented the bias shows through.
Lumping all Advisors together based upon ONE that you encountered is truly not fair. Just as in any cross section their are a variety of personalities, so too are there a variety of Advisor styles. Personally, I have never bullied anyone, in fact I do not even play or train my teammates to use the chances type of games to get future bookings.
We present the option of hostessing, informing guests of what they will receive for doing so and leave the choice to them.
We present our jewelry and encourage guests to try the pieces on and have fun with it. And actually I have many shows where a guest or two do not find pieces that appeal to their sense of style. That’s ok, they have had fun playing and helping other guests, enjoy a munchie and girls time.
Quality wise, of course in any jewelry store there are different levels and price points. We do not bill line as fine jewelry. We are quite forthcoming in sharing we are fashion jewelry, talk about that we are gold plated and rhodium (in the Platinum family), that we are surgical steel(most hypoallergenic) ear posts. 70% of our line is below $50 and 43% below $30.
No matter who you would ask, you would most likely find both fashion and fine jewelry disappointments after purchase.
The big difference is that we do offer a money back guarantee for a limited time, along with a lifetime offer of return. We do not question why an item is being returned, a very lienient policy in todays marketplace.
Up to 45 get cash back, a merchandise credit or another item.
From then to 120 days select a merchandise credit or another item.
After 120 days, select a merchandise credit or another item and pay a $5 fee to process.
Please note that when an item is returned broken or defective a $5 gift card is enclosed to the guest, as a sign of appreciation.
And yes if you opt to replace a returned item you do have to pay the difference! That only makes sense. That is the only time you pay a shipping charge, at all other times the Corp offices cover the shipping of a new item or replacement item.
Again that is not the norm when you return items through the mail. Our turn around time is awesome at less than 2 weeks in most cases from the day you pop it in the mail.
Where can you go with other fashion jewelry purchases that may be broken or have a stone come loose or simply change your mind 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, 8 years or more and get your FULL purchase price credit to shop again with?
And please note, even if you purchased the item at half off or as a hostess bonus buy price you will receive full price credit!
Yes we have a new catalog 2 times a year, about 200 items leave and a fresh 200 current styles keeping up with trends and fashion arrive. That is what sets lia sophia as such a success, our keeping up with what is current and stylish. The other about 300 pieces carry over. So actually odds are the piece will be there!
On a broad survey, if you were to question women about their jewelry and skin discoloring..you would see that even FINE jewelry can cause issues when your body’s acid (PH) levels are high. And if that is an issue, the generous warranty will be available.
As to the Google search comments, those posts are links to others wanting you to buy, or use their businesses, MLMs or schemes, sometimes scams or pyramids to make money. Click on several and see what they offer.
The Better Business Bureau does list complaints against lia sophia true. In 2006/early 07 the company implemented a new processing facility and it had a very bad glitch and orders were delayed over the holiday period…causing much frustration to guests, advisors and the Corp offices. It was remedied as quickly as possible and every hostess that had a delay in her show shipping was sent a $50 gift card. Some 90,000 gift cards were sent out as a sign of appreciation by lia sophia.
They also spent effort, time, and money to revamp the customer service dept…ensuring a more prompt response time on any call in and a more thorough system to rectify any issues.
Genuinely, I hear your concerns and agitation. In the future I hope that fades, and that you enjoy a better lia sophia experience..or one with any other jewelry line out there!
Lynn –
Can you tell me the best way to clean lia sophia jewelry?
Thanks,
Jeri
Jeri,
Caring for your lia sophia Jewelry
Proper care will enhance and extend the life of lia sophia jewelry. Here are some tips:
Use water and mild dish soap to clean your jewelry. If necessary, use a very soft brush. Do not use liquid jewelry cleaners.
Always keep jewelry covered from dust and dirt; store in a protective jewelry box or tissue.
Well water and salty air may cause reactions in jewelry.
Some people’s body chemistry produces more acid in the skin. This may discolor and damage jewelry no matter what you do. (Coffee, tomato and other particular foods can also increase acid in your skin.)
Remove jewelry when working outside, playing sports, cleaning, showering, and swimming. Rings should be removed before washing or applying hand cream.
Soaps, hand sanitizers, detergents, lotions and creams, hair spray, and perfume can break down the finish on jewelry – so always put your jewelry on last.
I hand out a cleaner / polisher cloth to all new guests…want them to keep their jewels sparkling!
Hope that helps!
Lynn
Hi, I was checking out the lia Sophia opportunity. I found a lot of info that either was helpful or discouraging. One of my concerns is everywhere I see it refers to profits being 30-40 percent of sales. These numbers seem to be too good to be true. Especially when you take into account there are several people above you whom also get money from those very same sales. If lia Sophia gives me 30 percent and 7 people above me get 10 percent that would mean lia Sophia gets nothing and obviously wouldn’t be in business. Does anyone have any paperwork from lia Sophia in regards to exactly how they determine your profits? Everywhere I look all I see is 30 percent of sales. But no break down on what sales is counted. I don’t mean to be a pain but I found from past experiences that I need to read the fine print as often the important details lie within there. I appreciate the help thanks tami

One problem I’m having with wanting to sign up is a lot of my friends are managers. I have talked to them about the opportunity but they have been telling me about some new standards that is making managers drop like flies from lia sophia. If this is the case you have to wonder if the company has made the standards so high as to get rid of managers and just have advisors. Is this so they can have more money for the company? If this the case count me out for sure. Why get involved with a company that in a recession makes it harder for there teams, instead of taking care of them. I will definately not be joining this team
Well I’ve tried answering 3 times now… oh my!
Tami, I would be happy to send you the paperwork on lia sophia and it’s pay structure. Please contact me via my website ..clicking on my name will get you there. After many years in DS, I have found lia sophia to be extremely lucrative and generous in their efforts to help us succeed.
Looking forward to hearing from you. LYNN

Yes lia sohpia did restructure the mgmt requirements all the way up the line. The minimums were so low, that a Mgr with 1 teamamte or even just herself could outdo them.
Our requirements in Unit Mgr are now $7000 per month for the Mgr and 4 teammates. Doing a few shows per month each easily meets that minimum.
It is also based on a rolling 4 month frame, so if you are way up one month it will tide you over a low month.
Those that fell out of Mgmt, were those mainly who had teammates not doing anything and dropping off, causing an issue with the needing of at least 4 teammates to be a Unit, not so much the monetary fulfillment.
Hope that clarifies things for you.
Like I said in times like these count me out I will look elsewhere
luvs jewelry – I just wanted to point out that lia sophia did their managers a favor by making it a bit tougher. They want people who promote to stay there, and when people were able to promote to manager without strong teammates, they were not able to maintain their management status. Now, advisors make sure they have a strong team before they promote and that way they do not end up getting demoted for having a weak team that ultimately falls apart. None of the managers I know have any problem meeting the new minimums, so I’m guessing the new rules just cut out those whose teams weren’t strong to begin with.
As an Advisor, I don’t want to be on a team that is going to crumble, because the company made it too easy for my manager to promote. I have a fantastic and very professional manager. She takes her job seriously, and I would prefer the “stricter” standards to promote if she is the kind of manager that system produces. And, based on my experience with managers in the company, she is not the exception.
HTH.

The Lia Sophia Jewelry I bought was not the quality I expected for the price. Two different braclets turned my wrist green… One the first time I worn it…
On the other hand I love the necklaces
I am interested in selling Lia Sophia jewelry but I don’t know anyone who is in the business. And when I search for advisors thru the website, I can’t find someone who can help me since I will be helping them if I come under them.
Do I have to get an advisor?
