Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How much can I earn?
   The amount of money you earn depends on many factors, including how assertive and hardworking you choose to be. As a Signature HomeStyles representative, you can earn between 25-30% on all personal retail sales. Whether you’re looking for a way to eliminate one bill from your household budget or a reason to leave your full-time job, the amount you earn is completely up to you! There are no hidden charges. In addition, as a representative, you are eligible to earn supplies and products beginning with your very first month of business and continuing throughout the year with our Success Start and Consistency Programs. We are extremely proud of our generous Hostess Program—completely subsidized by the company! And, don’t forget, you are never required to deliver merchandise.
