If you are a consultant I can hear the groans and moans through my computer. Don’t get me wrong, Tupperware has a wonderful warranty program and it is great for consumers, but as a consultant, this program is a pain in the butt!
If you’re a consumer who is looking for warranty help I would be glad to help you out, just click and give me your info, but if you are a consultant, I feel your pain.
Tupperware has a great program in place and it is something that actually can open many doors for us as consultants, but the practicallity of it is sometimes unbearble.
The tiny little numbers, that are so often wore off leads to a system, where if you don’t have constant access to the internet, that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. You see, I like to be able to deal with my warranty issues right at a party, or wherever I’m meeting people but I also live in the middle of nowhere. So I like a print copy – I know, I know call me old fashioned, but a lot of my customers are old fashioned too and they appreciate me looking it up for them in my “book”. The problem is, even if I print that book this morning, by my party tonight it could’ve changed and things are no longer available.
I understand the way it works because I’ve seen the factory at Hemingway (totally awesome, by the way with the best people ever!) and so I “get it” that the shelves empty. But even if I do get it entered into the system, Tupperware has another system that is on the lookout for warranty frauders – you know, those people who are abusing the system.
Well, this new “system” sucks for those of us with legitimate issues becuase we are the ones who get a call from customer care, but when we try to call back the proper serson is sudenly unavailable and will call back. Then we are the ones who play phone tag for weeks, becuase I am sorry but my life doesn’t end while I wait for Tupperware to phone me back. Then we are told they will mail out a shipping label, which may take another week or so, then we can mail back the product (add another week) at which time they will process it (whatever that means) and add another week. Then they will release the warranty items to be shipped, add another week or two.
So now it’s two months later and we, as consultants, are trying to help hosts and customers understand that Tupperware is just maintaining their quality service and upholding thier quality warranty program and we are the ones left to say, “please dont’ be too frustrtated with Tupperware and go somewhere cheaper and faster” in this satisfy me NOW world we live in.
So yes, Tupperware has a wonderful warranty idea, but once again the practicallity and reality that go with it are lacking. I guess ultimately the responsibility lies with us as consultants – so if you’re one of those “screw the system” people, thank you! Thank you for making our job even harder, again.

Hap
py Tupperware New Year to you!
I know, I’m quite a few days behind but the holidays are over and it’s time to get back into a new Tupperware year.
I truly hope that you were not like me and let your business take a real holiday at the end of last year, but if you did I’d like to challenge you to get it back started.
First, isn’t it really great that you can just take a break and spend the entire season with your family and friends and that Tupperware will still be here when you get back.
Ok, now it’s really time to get back to business.
Tupperware has some great specials
on to help us start the new year off on the right foot. Who doesn’ t like double host credit? And Modular Mates at 40% off? And qualifying for the new Mandolin is pretty cool, but the best thing is that you are back in control of what you earn.
So many New Year’s resolutions are about people changing. People want to get their lives organized (hello Modular Mates), lose weight (FridgeSmart and SmartSteamer are perfect) and make more money (uh… the perfect opportunity – Tupperware!!)
So Happy Tupperware New Year to YOU! I really hope that you find everything you desire in 2013 and that Tupperware proves to be the vehicle that gets you there.

So what?! SO WHAT?! I can hear you screaming it at me already.
The famous January 40% off Modular Mate sale is in full swing
I know, but my cynical nature is shining through again. So what?
Who cares, really, that this product that has won 5 Awards For the Best Design of a Kitchen Space Saving Product world wide? And who cares that celebrities like Danny Pintauro and Kevin Farrell would likely flip for this?
Who cares that bugs and mice won’t get into your food, or that you can save big money by buying in bulk instead of in small packages? Who cares that it’s easy to see what you are out of before going to the grocery store?
Who cares that the space in your cabinets is being used more efficiently and that half bags of stuff can’t fall in behind to be lost forever? Who cares about any of that anyway?
Well?
If you care then why aren’t you telling others about all the great benefits of Modular Mates? If you care, then get out there and use these benefits to build your own business and to really help others save time, money, space and waste.

65 years is a long time. Think back to a time of no cell phones but party lines (if you even had your own phone). A time of no Facebook or Twitter, but conversations face to face. 65 years ago there was no internet or home computers, not even everyone had a TV!
But you could have a Tupperware Party. That has remained a constant over the last 65 years.
Today starts a brand new year. 2013 is upon us, and I’ll be honest with you… I’m not where I expected to be.
But today, and everyday that we are lucky enough to be on this side of the dirt, is a new begining. I can’t change the past and even if I could I’m not sure I would. All the events, the ups and the downs, the feeling like it can’t get worse and then it does’s have led me right here. This may turn some of you off, but I am a strong believer in the fact that I am not in control. God has a plan for me and my life and I am going to use everyday to try and listen to what that is.
I have the ability to choose my actions and I am going to spend 2013 focussing on the good, and on the good I can do for others.
So, my fellow Tupperware lovers, lets rejoice in the fact that we have a strong foundation and work together to build the next 65 years of Tupperware!
Are you looking to save 25% on your food bill?
Fridge Smart containers WILL save you money!
I say that with a little hesitation because they will only save you money if you are using them, you know, with produce in them, not as a lid holder in your cupboard.
Now, how will they actually save you money?
Fridge Smart containers are designed to…
- keep your produce fresh longer, so you can actually use up what you’ve bought
- stay in your fridge, so you always know what to buy when you go grocery shopping
- let you see what’s inside, so you and your family can eat healthier because you can see “what’s to eat”
It may seem like Fridge Smart‘s are a little pricy, and I actually hear this about other Tupperware products too, but please let me explain why the Fridge Smart is well worth what you’ll pay for it.
Right now you can get my favorite size(I’ll tell you why it’s my favorite in a minute), the medium long, for $25.50. When I first saw that I went, 25 bucks for one container? You’ve got to be kidding me, no one’s going to want that and no one’s going to pay that much… even if it is Tupperware!
But…
I was wrong.
When I started to tell people that Fridge Smart could help them save money by eating what they buy at the grocery store instead of throwing away their good intentions people were interested.
I believe we all go into the grocery store with good intentions. We want to feed our families healthy, nutritious food. We even look the other way when produce prices are ridiculously high (especially in Canada, in the winter)and put those expensive things into our carts.
Then we bring that food home and hope it gets used up. It’s usually not a problem on the first or second day after shopping because we remember it’s there – we’ve just paid an arm and a leg for it so it’s hard to forget. But the problem emerges when there is a half a cantaloupe or cucumber, or part of a bag of grapes left.
Those are the things that seem to sneak into the back of the fridge and get lost, only to reemerge as something of a different color that vaguely resembles what it used to be. That we barely want to touch, and definitely don’t want to smell, on it’s way to the garbage can.
We’ve all been there, but when I share that I’m not there anymore, and haven’t been since I started using my Fridge Smart’s people want to know why and how they can get there too.
See, that 25 dollar container actually holds my produce. The medium long Fridge Smart fits all the way to the back of the fridge, so it can’t get lost and other stuff can’t get lost behind it (that’s why it’s my favorite). It holds whatever I’ve bought, and my kids favorites are still grapes and strawberries and those two things can go into the same container.
I have no idea how they do it, but the Fridge Smart containers keep the flavors from transferring; so a grape still tastes like a grape and a strawberry still tastes like a strawberry.
But I can’t tell you how long Fridge Smart will keep your produce…
…because, at my house, food now stays until someone eats it. It’s not a matter of how many extra days we get, I have no idea anymore. I just know it stays fresh until it’s gone.
And it doesn’t take saving too many $4.99/lb peppers or $11 watermelons to add up to the $25 container. In fact, if I were to trow out half of just 5 watermelons, EVER, then I would have paid for the Fridge Smart already.
I also let people know that best way to wash their produce…
but I can’t give everything away here…
Watch for tomorrow’s post and I’ll explain how the best way to wash your produce is and why.
Oh yeah, and if you came here hoping to find someone who could hook you up with some Fridge Smart containers, or maybe who could warranty your lost vent or cracked lid – YOU Found Someone. Email me at amanda@amandaswedberg.com and I’ll gladly help you out.

Stop throw
ing your hard earned money away!
Do you ALWAYS use ALL of the produce you buy?
Do you EVER throw any of it away?
If you are a Tupperware consultant reading this post, then you should be able to confidently say that you do always use all of the produce you buy, and that you never throw any of it away because you should know about the FridgeSmarts.
Now, maybe you’ve only seen them in the catalogs and no one’s ever explained them to you…
Or maybe you forgot your excitement over them and have gotten lazy about washing produce and putting them into the FridgeSmarts…
Whatever the case, you need to be sharing their AWESOME money saving, produce saving, life changing benefits with your own family and with others you know.
Trust me, when you shift into telling people about the benefits they will get from FridgeSmarts, and they can hear your passion, your business WILL GROW!

My LED recently asked me if I would share at our Fall Fest about my recent success in recruiting. She asked me if I’d share the basics with our team and I was thrilled!
She emailed me some questions to focus on and one of those actually inspired this blog post.
I started to really think about what I had been saying, and I realized that all of my worries and struggles of the past were GONE.
The change is that I’m no longer wondering what to say. I don’t worry about how to talk to people or what to do it they ask me something I don’t know.
And I only did one simple little thing to make the change…
Want to know what it was?
I started focusing on others instead of me. Instead of worrying about me and what I’d get out of any situation I just started to LISTEN to what people were talking about.
Then I matched what Tupperware has to offer with what they are looking for. And let me tell you, soooooooooooo much easier than worrying about saying all the right things.
If people choose to give it a chance, then great. Those are the people who I want to work with. If they choose not too, then ok – I did my best and that’s all I can do anyway.

I know, changes in Tupperware Canada, can you believe it.
Sorry for the sarcasm, but I have been bombarded lately with people telling me they have all the Tupperware they’ll ever need but that they haven’t seen it for years.
As a Tupperware Canada consultant that is one of the MOST frustrating things to deal with. You haven’t seen Tupperware in years, but you think you know all we have to offer. Grrr…
Again, I’m sorry and I’ll get off my pedestal. There are some absolutely amazing changes at the corporate level of Tupperware right now and I couldn’t be more excited to offer what we have to more people.
If you haven’t seen the changes, check them out here.
Tupperware Canada should be proud and this consultant believes we are on the right track again – finally!

Yeah!!! I am so excited about what Tupperware is doing right now. Can you believe all the new programs they are putting into place that will help you and others to grow your business?
I have to admit to you that I have seen such a shift in Tupperware from when I first started until now that I almost gave up. I know, me, almost quit (ahh, spit, blah, even typing that word is hard to do). It was very frustrating to a “C” personality like me, click here to see what I’m talking about, to not have a system to follow.
It used to be very difficult for me to just hear all those people saying, “just go out and talk to more people”.
And tell them what? Tupperware is awesome, I love my job, I love the product, you deserve to feel what this feels like too, but I don’t really think Tupperware is ready for you because they can’t get their crap together and make it easy for new people who join.
BUT…
Not anymore!! Finally Tupperware has made it easy. Finally there is a system in place that makes it so ALL people can achieve with their business. Finally we can open the flood gates and welcome success.
So get those gates open. Grow, grow, grow!

Why is it so hard to keep our Tupperware business going in the summer? I have seen it time and again, the kids get out of school and wham!!! The Tupperware doors close.
To those of you who follow my blog everyday, it would seem that this same thing has occurred to me – and I will make no excuses. I find it very difficult to stay on top of everything I need to accomplish when my kids are home and needing every moment of my attention.
I appologize, and hope I haven’t lost anyone along the way.
I will let you in on a secret though, my doors haven’t been completely closed. I am diligently working away on improving my own business and hopefully yours as well.
Stay tuned, their are some great changes on the horizon.

I have to tell you, I LOVE to garage sale. I don’t know what it is about other people’s junk that draws me in like a moth to a flame.
I see a garage sale sign and I have to stop and check it out. It is one of my favorite summer pass times.
I’ll admit to you that I am a real “look Lou” when it comes to actually buying anything though. I just like to peek around and see what others have to offer. Now, that’s not to say that I haven’t made some fantastic purchases at garage sales because I have. I especially find kids toys and books at some great deals because mostly people’s own families have just grown out of them and the over abundance of stuff just takes over their storage spaces so they want to get rid of it for cheap.
Another thing I consistently find at a garage sale is old Tupperware. You know, that stuff that is orange or green, been around since the 60′s or 70′s and is now sitting on a table, waiting for someone to spend a quarter to take it home.
As a Tupperware consultant this makes me proud and sad. I find myself asking people why they are getting rid of their old Tupperware. And do you know what I hear more often than not?
“I just replaced it with something more current. There’ s nothing wrong with it, I just don’t need it anymore.”
First -it’s 35 year old and theres nothing wrong with it -yeah Tupperware!!
Second - they wanted something more current – but did they replace it with new Tupperware? Mostly, no. Boo Tupperware!
Over and over again I hear things like, “is Tupperware still around?” and “I don’t know how to get Tupperware anymore?” and even “I wanted something cheaper and nicer.”
Come on people – you still have something that is perfectly good, still being used 30 years later, that you probably got as a wedding gift or from your mom, and now you want something cheaper. How much of that “cheaper” stuff do you see even 10 years later at somebodies garage sale?
And you want something nicer – have you seen what Tupperware looks like now?
At every garage sale I find where someone is getting rid of old Tupperware (which in my experience is about 90% of them) I make sure to at least leave a new catalog for people to look at. I even ask to leave a few extra (and I put them right next to the old Tupperware).
You would be really surprised how open people are to checking out (then purchasing) new Tupperware just because someone offers it to them.
So next time you’re out and about, enjoying one of my favorite summer pass times, remember to bring along some catalogs and network.
Oh, and happy garage saleing!

Over the weekend my family and I went camping in the beautiful Alberta badlands. Besides the ginormous, too hungry mosquitoes, the weekend was amazing. We were surrounded by family, beautiful scenery and awe inspiring history. One of the hi-lites was a visit to the world renowned hoodoos.
A hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a base of shale that is capped with a large stone. It takes millions of years to form and stands from 5 to 7 meters tall. They are very fragile and will erode away if their capstone is dislodged. They are a marvel to look at because you can see the layers of earth, the effects of the wind and water, and the nearly whimsical way the top stone delicately balances like a hat on a giant.
While this is an interesting story, I can hear you saying…
So, what does this have to do with Tupperware?
Looking at these wonders of nature got me thinking about my Tupperware business. Tupperware has been around since the beginning of time – in the direct selling industry anyway.(question this? Go read about Brownie Wise) So it is like the base of shale that we build our future on. They are strong and steady and without them there would be nothing to grow out of.
You are the pillar. Sales force members are the ones doing the balancing, trying to keep everything from tumbling down around them. Trying to keep integrity and values (the top stone) balanced while the ever changing world is trying to erode your business and your life.
Tupperware, like the shale, is strong and steady, but if you’ve ever tried to make your way around the hoodoos on foot you’ll know that the shale is loose and unpredictable. You’re never really sure that your footing is secure and just as you seem to make huge advancements the base gives way and you find yourself sliding backwards unsure where or when the slide will stop. You just try to remain balanced and ride it out so no one gets hurt.
It’s up to you to keep the top stone from being dislodged, or your entire future is out of your hands – left to the wind and rain of frustration and disappointment that will eventually erode your Tupperware business completely away.
Do you know that there are skills you likely posses, and others you can work on, that can help you to maintain that strong, whether proof pillar? Do you possess them? Do you know what they are? I can help you build up that pillar. Go here for more details.
You’ve got the hoodoo base in place and you are the pillar. Keep that cap in place and you will be around for others to admire and learn from for generations to come.

There are lots of organizations out there that do fundraisers every year. Are you offering the Tupperware fundraiser as a possible solution to their financial woes?
From the consultant’s perspective a fundraiser is a great way to get your name out there as people share the fundraiser catalog (remember to put your contact information on every single one).
You have the ability to get new customers to contact after the fundraiser for follow up service calls and possible demos. Call them up and ask if they know how to use the products they purchased. You can offer to get together one on one or have them get a few friends together (maybe other neighbors who purchased and want to know how to use their products too).
Now you have a party where you can teach people how to use the Tupperware they already have and you can suggest complimentary products.
Here are the top 5 reasons for customers to have a Tupperware fundraiser:
- Everyone’s heard of Tupperware so it’s easy for people who doing the fundraiser to sell
- The no hassle payment process where people pay up front means there is no need for chasing down payment later
- Allows people to support a great cause while building a better planet for the future by purchasing durable, sustainable products that last a life time
- Speaking of lasting a life time… most Tupperware products have a life time warranty
- 40% + commissions on an exclusive Tupperware catalog means big profit potential for the organization
As a consultant be sure to let people know that Tupperware has a great fundraising program and open your doors to new customers and new possibilities.

Why did you join Tupperware?
Did you want to fill your own cupboards at the discount prices?
Did you want to make some extra money?
Or maybe get out of the house for some adult time?
Most likely it was a combination of the three…
Or at least that’s why you’re still in Tupperware.
But have you ever thought about what Tupperware could really do for you?
Have you thought about staying home with your kids, being there for all of their memorable moments. No waking them up early, dropping them off at daycare in crying fits and heading out to a job that gives you no recognition for all of your hard work.
Have you thought about what kind of lifestyle you can achieve by making your Tupperware business work for you?
Have you dreamed of driving that FREE Mustang that Tupperware offers, or taking your kids to Disneyland on Tupperware’s bill?
Can you see yourself getting a residual income because you’ve helped others to achieve their dreams too?
Have you ever thought about what you would do with your life if you had no money or time restrictions?
Your Tupperware business can make those dreams your reality.
You’ve already made the investment to begin a Tupperware business, so why not dare to dream and make the investment in yourself next.
Figure out what your why is. Dream about it. See yourself living it out. Take action to achieve it.
Looking for more help on how to take action? Check out some other posts on partying, being a consultant and helping yourself.

The BBQ is a staple cooking tool in my household all year long, but especially in the summer time. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been known to BBQ up some good Alberta beef when it’s 30 degrees below zero but it is a lot more comfortable when the temperature climbs above freezing.
I mentioned using themes to get more parties into your datebook and another one people have asked me about is the BBQ theme.
To set up a good BBQ party be sure to have guests bring a lawn chair with their outside orders and their friends. Or better yet, have a couples party.
One of my favorite things about BBQing is that it’s usually my husband’s job to do the actual grilling, even though I do the marinating and the prep work, so we both use the Tupperware.
The regular and junior Season Serves are the perfect marinators with their built in grids on the top and bottom that allow the juices to flow.
Use the Quick Shake to mix your marinades after you’ve used the Quick Chef Pro or the Chop n Prep Chef to chop up ingredients that you’ve sliced with the Chef Series Knives.
There is the Burger Press that allows for the creation of the perfect patty every time because you can customize and freeze your own.
And don’t forget the Hot Dog Keeper that keeps your hot dogs from freezing together. It also works great as a mini jel mould and for chocolate covered strawberries.
The Chef Series Stainless Steel Spatula, with its flat bottom and long handle is the ideal “man’s tool” for flipping and reaching the back of the BBQ (without scorching your arms or hands).
One of the best games to play at a Tupperware BBQ is
Are You a BBQ Problem or Pro?
It is a true/false quiz that is fun to play. The prize could be running the grill?
- You should pierce steaks or chops with a fork before grilling. (False – it causes the juices to leak out – use tongs instead)
- Control flare-ups by keeping a spray bottle close by filled with water. (False – this can shorten the life of your BBQ – instead use baking soda and clean the grill often)
- You can easily check doneness just by using your finger. (True – Rare meat will give easily but no juices accumulate, Medium done feels slightly firm and juices start to accumulate on the top. Well done meat is firm and covered with juices)
- It is not recommended that you steam oysters or clams on the grill. (False – place over medium heat and cover with a wet towel and in 7-10 minutes the shells should open and be ready to eat)
- Do not trim excess fat from meats before grilling because it adds to the flavor. (False – trimming the fat can help prevent flare ups and will not take away from the flavor of your meat)
- Outside temperature and winds can effect the cooking temperature of your BBQ. (True – it takes way longer when it’s 40 below!!)
- You can add flavor to your food by sprinkling fresh or dried herbs than have been soaked in water over the hot coals while cooking. (True – Try bay eaves, rosemary, basil, tarragon and fennel)
Impress your guests with some BBQ tips about when to add the sauce:
- on steaks and chops apply after the meat has been turned for the last time in about the last 3 minutes of grilling
- on chicken baste with sauce the last 10 minutes and turn once
- on hot dogs and sausage baste in the last 5-6 minutes
A final tidbit of knowledge to impress your guests. Henry Ford (you know, the Model T guy) came up with the idea of briquettes by using the scraps from the model T building process. He put his brother-in-law, E.G. Kingsford, in charge and the Kingsford name is still the number 1 brand of briquettes sold today.
Of course you can incorporate the other lines of Tupperware for serving and storing left overs. Again, remember to have a good time with this themed Tupperware party.
Happy grilling and put that Tupperware to good use!

After yesterday’s post on getting new parties into your datebook I had a bunch of people ask me about the themes I mentioned. I thought the best way to get it out to all of you was to blog about them.
I’m starting with camping because that is what the family and I are doing this weekend, and thanks to Tupperware, we’re going in style!
A Tupperware Camping Party needs:
invitations that show what the theme of the party is (you could even print them as a label and attach right to a flyer)
a host coaching package with the camping theme
and a Tupperware consultant armed with the following tips:
- air tight, water tight containers like Freezer Mates, Modular Mates and Pak n Stor are space efficient in coolers and RV cupboards
- Tupperware is environmentally friendly. By using plates, cereal bowls, cutlery, and containers you don’t have to throw away plastic or paper – and that saves you money too
- Be prepared – stew, chili or soup can be made ahead of time and frozen – it helps keep the cooler cold and makes for a quick and easy meal
- Make meal time easier by pre-chopping and measuring ingredients at home and packing them into Freezer Mates (labeled, of course)
- You can start a fire with empty toilet paper rolls stuffed with lint from the dryer – 4 rolls fit perfectly into a Modular Mate Oval 2
- Add a little powdered sugar to marshmallows to keep them from sticking together, then keep them in a Modular Mate so that the lid can be put on (only really necessary if you don’t eat the whole bag!!)
- Vinegar (stored in a Midget) can be dabbed on mosquito bites to help relieve the itch
- Mix that vinegar with a little baking soda (also from a Midget) to make a paste that can be used to remove stingers
- Save some eggs for the last day and use up all of your leftovers by making omelets for breakfast, then you don’t have to take home the leftovers
Some products you could demo or just pass around with the following tips:
- Use the Season Serve (regular or Jr) to marinate meats and they are great for storing buns and flatbread
- The Quick Shake can be used to make salad dressing, instant pudding or a dozen eggs for those last day omelets
- Large Carry All is perfect as a no spill water bucket or a fishing bait bucket that you can bring your fish home in. It makes a good cooler because 24 cans and ice will fit in it. And my favorite thing to do with the Large Carry All – put the kids dirty laundry in it with some laundry soap and water and let it agitate all the way home.
- Fridge Smart Containers can store all your fruits and veggies, and you can just take them from the house fridge to the cooler or RV fridge.
- Can Opener – nuff said
- Snack Cup Set or Tumblers can hold peanut butter, mayonnaise, cooking oil, dish soap and toiletries.
- Modular Mates Square or Rectangle Containers can be used to make blocks of ice for the cooler ahead of time because blocks stay frozen longer than cubes. They can also store chips, salads, cookies, napkins, Smore fixings (because around here you can’t camp without those) and the First Aid Kit.
- Thatsa Mega Bowl can be used for a big salad, 10 lbs of watermelon, to store the cereal bowls, luncheon plates and tumblers in, to hold the dishcloths, table cloth and matches. And my favorite use for this, at least when someone else is doing it, it makes a great sink for washing dishes. You can fill it up with water and leave it in the sun to warm the water up.
Themed parties are great because people can have so much fun at them. You could even play a round of Camping Family Feud with questions like…
Name something you put on a hotdog or Name a sport that is done while camping
Or you could prepare a camping checklist for the guests and host. They will remember you and the service you provided for them.
You could even give them recipes to use while camping.
Once you get the ball rolling people usually think of other things that Tupperware products are great for when camping, so let them talk. People are more likely to buy when their friends recommend something than when the Tupperware Lady does, no matter how much fun she is.
Happy Tupperware Camping…
Now, what was I supposed to prepare ahead of time for that camping trip this weekend…

Is your date book looking a little empty? Not sure how to get some new party lines going?
Here are 3 Ways To Date New Parties:
1. Make service calls. Call past customers and find out if they are using what they bought. If they are they will likely have a great story or two to share with you. That can lead into finding out if they’ve told their friends and family about their new find.
If they’ve already been talking to friends and family about it you can offer your services, if they haven’t you can ask if she’d like to get them all together and you can do the talking for her.
When you call a customer and they aren’t using what they bought find out why. Do they remember how to use it? Do they remember what they were going to do with it? Do they remember what benefit it was going to bring to their life?
Then you can offer to get together to show them or remind them why they bought it in the first place. You can do this one on one, or have them invite the neighbors or some friends for a visit on the patio and talk about the products they already have and more.
Remember, a party doesn’t have to be a big, formal thing. It can just be a few people together over a cup of coffee talking about the benefits of Tupperware.
2. Contact people who have ordered from you but haven’t been to a party. This could be outside orders or people who contact you directly.
Just like before, find out if they are using their Tupperware. They most likely haven’t seen a demo, so offer to get together and show them how it works.
You could even have these people all come over to your place for an exclusive Mystery Host event – get them into the idea of a party without having to host one.
3. Host your own party – but have a theme! You could do a BBQ party where you sit on the deck and demo your BBQ skills, the tools Tupperware has for BBQing and even do a quiz to see if your guests are BBQ pros or problems.
Or you could host a Banana Split Party where all of your guests bring a dressed up banana.
How about a Camping Party where you help your guests get ready for their own summer adventures with Tupperware products.
However you choose to get back in the game, remember it’s called a Tupperware PARTY – have fun doing it.

I am a Tupperware Canada Consultant and school is out for the summer right now so I am home with my kids full time (This is a picture of my kids at Christmas time). That is, by the way, one of the greatest rewards of being a Tupperware Canada Consultant – I’m home with the kids.
Anyway, I think I may be warping them into little Tupperware people. I’ll tell you why in a second, but first I have to set this up for you a bit.
My daughter is the oldest and she is, how to put this…
Demanding of her little brothers. She is mothering and bossy and likes to be in charge. Don’t get me wrong here, she is my beautiful angel, but she’s a lot like her mom. Anyway, she likes the boys to do things her way so today they were playing school. I know, no one is going to forget everything by September around here.
Well, back to why my kids are warped. My daughter (who is going into grade three) made up a compound word worksheet for my son (who is going into grade one). He was busy working on it, then I heard him say…
Fridge + Smart = FridgeSmart.
Pretty clever of the future Tupperware Canada Consultant in the family
But I wonder, would that pass the test come September?
I guess whether it does or doesn’t is irrelevant and I’ll just take it for what it is. My kids love having me at home, they are going to be eco-friendly, lovers of the earth thanks to my being involved in Tupperware, and we’ll always have memories of how our kids were warped by mom’s j.o.b.
Are you able to be home with your kids thanks to Tupperware? I truly hope you are, but if you’re not, why?
If your Tupperware business is missing something try checking out other posts in this blog to get the wheels in motion again. Get in touch with your upline, or with me and I’ll try to help you anyway I can.

There is some evidence, on the world scale, that Tupperware is beginning to “think outside the box”.
I came across this article, “Tupperware to Increase Salesforce; thinks out of box,” by Arshiya Khullar and I found myself intrigued.
I’ve heard of the new Tupperware commercial that is running in India, and this article talks about it as well as:
- localizing products
- price points
- advertising strategies
to reach local Indian markets.
As a salesforce member in Canada I find it very interesting how Tupperware is willing to change it’s ways in other parts of the world.
Maybe this is a sign that Tupperware Brands realizes that the strategies of the past may not be the only way anymore…
Anyway, this article is very well written and an interesting look into other parts of the Tupperware World.
Check out the article.

Why is it so difficult for customers to locate a Tupperware consultant?
Don’t think it’s that hard?
Have you ever heard statements like:
- I haven’t seen Tupperware in years
- I didn’t know who to talk to, so I went to that kiosk in the mall
- I’ve had this old warranty sitting here for years
- I just threw out my old Tupperware
- I didn’t know there was a Tupperware consultant in my area
Unfortunately I’ve heard comments like these all throughout my Tupperware career. I say unfortunately because it’s too bad that Tupperware has such an amazing product, that nearly everyone you talk to has heard of it, yet the way of getting it into consumers hands is not working any more.
An obvious “fix” to this problem is more Tupperware consultants. That is so much easier to say than to implement though, isn’t it.
Every new consultant I talk to has the same struggle. They love Tupperware, the products, the opportunity, the friends they make and the fun they have, BUT…
Tupperware consultant don’t know how to recruit
Every single one of the new consultants I talk to don’t know how to share the benefits they get being a Tupperware consultant with others. They look for words to say, or systems to follow and they can’t find anything that works for them so they quit trying. And it doesn’t matter how much their upline encourages and supports, the problem is that they don’t do it.
Tupperware consultant are scared of losing party lines
Another problem that leads to customers not being able to find a Tupperware consultant is that people don’t try and recruit hosts because they worked too hard to get that party line and they don’t want to lose it. It’s often very difficult to get a new party line going, and once you do, most Tupperware consultant don’t want to lose it, and who can blame them?
Lose the party line, lose the income and see your business grind to a stop.
But what if these things didn’t have to happen?
What if a Tupperware consultant could get in front of people who were looking for the product?
Better yet, what if a Tupperware consultant could get the benefits of the Tupperware opportunity across to people easily?
Wouldn’t solving those problems make Tupperware more accessible to customers, and wouldn’t solving those problems actually make your business grow?
There is a way to solve these problems that still follows Tupperware corporates rules.
I am a Tupperware consultant. I have been a Tupperware consultant for 3 years – that is, unfortunately, a long time in this industry. I turned to the internet, looking for a way to make my Tupperware business better, and I have come up with the answer.
It’s time for more Tupperware consultant to get in front of the millions of people who Google Tupperware every month, to get in front of the millions of people who are looking for the opportunity to work from home, to grow their own Tupperware business.
If you are ready to grow as a Tupperware consultant click now.

Tupperware party games can be found in a lot of places, but it can be almost like torture trying to find them.
The internet can turn into a black hole, sucking away hours of time that you’ll never get back. And for what?
All you are trying to do is find some help to make your party a better experience.
Tupperware party games should not be that hard to find.
I know that some uplines offer Tupperware party games for their teams to use, and I think that’s a great idea because you can use your team to learn how to play them.
There are also lots of places online that have games:
- Icebreaker games
- Tupperware Tony’s games
- Independent Consultants Library
- Tupperware Party Games
- More Tupperware Party Games
- Raz Ma Taz Tupperware Party Games
This is just a small sampling of places that you can find Tupperware party games and some of the games may be doubled up.
But remember, whatever you choose
Tupperware party games should be fun for guests, but also useful for consultants.
What do I mean by this?
You can incorporate dating bids and opportunity promotion into any game you choose to do and make it a fun way to talk about hosting a party and joining the Tupperware team.
Remember, people have all different personality types, see here for more information on that, so it may take a game to connect with some of them.
It’s called a Tupperware party for a reason – have fun! And happy gaming.

A new Tupperware catalog launch is the perfect time to grow your business. Why?
Because you can:
- contact past hosts and encourage them to get their friends together again to see all the new Tupperware and get spoiled again
- contact past customers and let them know about a new Tupperware catalog being out, meaning new products
- get rejuvenated with some new products that lead to new training and new recipes
- use it as an excuse if you need one
A Tupperware catalog is an excuse?
What I mean by this is sometimes we need that little kick in the butt to get on the phone and a new catalog is the excuse you can use to pick up that 50 pound stopper and talk to people. You can call and let people know, as a customer service, that there is a new Tupperware catalog coming out next week (or whenever) and that you thought of them.
Some people don’t like the sales part of Tupperware, and this is a way you can make sales without feeling like you are selling. If you want more on this, check out this post on sales.
Use a new Tupperware catalog as a good excuse to make your business new again, or to continue rolling with your strong business.

Are you using stories to sell Tupperware? Do you tell people little things that you or your family or friends do with their Tupperware?
If you do, do you find that people buy what you talk about? If you don’t, you should.
People like to make connections with other people, it’s just human nature. People also don’t like to be “sold” anything, another part of human nature is to resist the sales process. Sorry, Tupperware consultants, that’s just the way it is.
But that doesn’t mean that you should give up trying to sell Tupperware, it just means you should give up tying to make people buy it.
If you think I just said the same thing go back and re-read it. There is a BIG difference between selling and making people buy.
For some reason, as a Tupperware industry, and beyond, we are scared of the word sell.
Well guess what?
If you have any desired to make money with your Tupperware business, something you’re going to have to learn to do is…
SELL Tupperware. (I know, it’s a real big secret isn’t it!)
That doesn’t mean you have to be a salesman though… well, not the kind that makes you think of some greased back hair, bad mustache, pot bellied, used car salesman who oozes his slime on you when you get anywhere near him.
Telling stories to connect with your audience will get you a lot farther in your Tupperware life and you’ll be able to sleep at night.
Stories go something like…
In our house we wash the fruit before it even goes in the fridge. And trust me, this is no easy task because after grocery shopping with three kids whining to put all that junk in the cart, then telling me “I’m hungry” mixed with “he touched me” and “she’s in my section” all the way home the LAST thing I feel like doing is washing fruit. But do you know what happens? If it’s washed and put right into the Tupperware FridgeSmarts my family eats it before it goes bad, so we don’t throw it away.
or
My sister uses her Tupperware Quick Shake all the time. You see, her kids are addicted to pancakes and want them every single day. The quick shake makes it really easy to make up a fresh batch. She even uses it in the RV to hold a dozen eggs, just take out the insert and you can crack the eggs into it, making it so your eggs fit right in the door.
or
My neighbor uses her Tupperware everyday. She uses the Tupperware Smooth Chopper to make herself a healthy shake every morning for breakfast, and smoothies for her kids after school. She uses the Eco Water Bottle when she goes running. You know, she fills it half full and freezes it overnight so that her water will stay cold throughout her entire run.
These are just little stories that you could use that help you to connect with your audience. Customers don’t feel like they are being sold on anything so their resistance isn’t present.
You are simply sharing the value of the products with others. But you are still making sales.
Don’t believe me? Try it.
Next time you are in front of people talking about Tupperware try adding a story and see if your sales of that product go up.
If you have other sales stories that you’d like to share, leave a comment (click on the far right link below)

A Tupperware catalogue can really help your business, especially if you remember to put your name and phone number on it.
Don’t be like me…
I thought that I’d give my business a little boost by leaving a Tupperware catalogue at the doctor’s office, the dentist office, the staff room at three local schools, six hair salons and four car dealerships – you know, places where people have time to sit and flip through anything that’s in front of them.
This was a great idea, in theory.
Only, I forgot to put my contact information on the Tupperware catalogue.
Duh!
How was anyone supposed to know who to contact? How was I going to be making more sales?
The Tupperware catalogue alone did me no good, so please feel free to take my advice and leave catalogues in places people kill time – but remember to put your name on them.
Get your Exclusive Interview with a Tupperware Millionairess here – and trust me, she is a walking, talking Tupperware catalogue.

Many people have been asking me lately why I chose to start a Tupperware blog. So I’ll answer you all in one place, here on my Tupperware blog of course!!
I was struggling with my Tupperware business. I have had past success, a lot of it. But the way that I was doing things wasn’t working for me anymore. I am very lucky in that I have an amazing upline, and I tried what they were advising, but I still wasn’t getting results.
So I turned to the internet.
Let me be really clear here. I did NOT want to quit Tupperware, I just wanted some help with how to do a better job of growing my business.
I also knew that Tupperware has some interesting rules on advertising online, so I called customer care and actually talked to one of the legal ladies on staff. I didn’t want to do anything that would be against what Tupperware saw as right either.
I started researching, and let me tell you, there is a lot of junk on the internet. I know, I know, this is no news to anyone who does much of anything online, but do you know what? There was a lot of junk about Tupperware too. When I tried to look for help by Googling Tupperware all I got was the official website (which, I’m sorry to Tupperware corporate, is not user friendly at all) and articles that were either years old and irrelevant or put up by disgruntled ex consultants.
Not very promising.
When I first started researching I didn’t even know what a blog was, let alone how to write one or why I’d want to write a Tupperware blog, but I’m really glad that things change. I was open to pretty much anything and
a Tupperware blog seemed like something I could do.
After all:
- I didn’t have a lot of money to invest (any you can blog for free)
- I had very few technical skills (I could read and send email)
- I had a lot of valuable information (Tupperware provides a lot of stuff I knew others needed to know)
- I had no idea how to make a website, nor did I really care to learn
Plus, people who were really, and I mean REALLY, successful online had blogs.
Some things I’ve learned along the Tupperware blog journey:
- Search engines (like Google) really like blogs because they are constantly changing
- 2.7 million people Google “Tupperware” every month
- I don’t need money for advertising because I can send people to my Tupperware blog for free (and I LOVE FREE!!)
- Not everyone is going to understand why I do what I do, and that’s okay
- I am in control of this little piece of online real estate and no one is going to take it away, so all the work I put in is here to stay
- I am branding me as a Tupperware expert. (Do you know how great it is to be able to send people you talk to a Tupperware blog? It builds my credibility as someone who knows what they are talking about.)
So Amanda, does your Tupperware blog make you any money?
That is the number two question people ask me (number 1 is why did you start a Tupperware blog). I always answer the same way.
Do you think I’d keep doing it if it didn’t?
- Every sale I’ve made this month so far has come from someone contacting me online
- The number of people I talk to daily is increasing every day, and lets face it, the more people you talk to the more chances you have to grow
- I have the ability to advertise what ever I want on my site, so I can make money that way (you will notice that I don’t do a very good job of this, but that’s because I only advertise what I really believe will help my readers)
My Tupperware blog is about so much more to me now though. People contact me all the time, thanking me for a post I’ve put up, or telling me that one little thing I wrote changed their day. Those things, those connections with people, are what really keeps my Tupperware blog going. The community of Tupperware consultants that are sharing my blog with their teams is growing and that means I can help more people who, like me, think Tupperware is life changing.
Leave me a comment or send me an email (amanda@amandaswedberg.com). I can help you get stated too – lets get more positive information out there to the world about Tupperware!

Tupperware can give you the lifestyle that you’ve always dreamed of. There are people who have been on multiple trips, never had a car payment, have jewelery and purses, earn six figures and more, stay home with their families and so much more because of their Tupperware business. These things are possible, but these people will all tell you that they treat their business like a business, not like something they play with.
So, how do they do it?
That is a question I’ve asked many times to many people and do you know what they tell me?
They are committed to building their businesses. They are committed to talking to people, to selling Tupperware and committed to their teams.
The Tupperware success stories come from people who know how to network, and who are willing to learn new things.
That willingness to learn is what has made others successful and what can make you successful too. That is why anyone can be successful.
Anyone can learn the skills they need to have a successful business if they are willing to put in the time and hard work it takes to do it.
SO…
are you committed to your Tupperware business? Are you willing to learn something that will help it grow?
If you are you will be successful and you will see the benefits of a changed lifestyle because Tupperware is the right vehicle to get you there.
Happy learning. If you’d like to learn about what I do to grow my business email me at amandaswedberg@amandaswedberg.com

Are you acting like a Tupperware professional? Do you know what it would take to do that?
When we think of professionals we generally don’t get a picture of a Tupperware Lady in our mind. Generally we see doctors, lawyers, dentists…
But why shouldn’t we act as professionals too? Wouldn’t it be easier to build your business, to sell Tupperware, if you were seen as a professional?
Some things professionals have that you could too:
- business cards – check out VistaPrint for some really great, and cheap, ways to get professional looking business cards delivered right to your door
- business attire – you should invest in some dress pants and a nice top to wear to your parties, and even when you go to the post office to pick up you orders remember that the people there see you as the Tupperware lady, so remember how you’re dressed. And don’t wear any jewelry that’s too distracting – you want people to listen to you, not your clanging bracelet or dangling earrings through your entire presentation
- business recruiting – what? Professionals don’t go up to people in the grocery store and try and get them to join them. Have you ever heard of a doctor telling someone in a grocery store line up that they have an opening on their surgery table at 3:15 so come on over and I’ll check you out?
I know, that is extreme, but why are we still being taught to act so unprofessional? If you’re looking for a better way, read about what other Tupperware professionals are doing here.

Yep, that’s right. Queen Elizabeth uses Tupperware to keep her cornflakes fresh. And how on earth do I know that, you ask?
I read it online, of course. Now, do I believe everything that I read online? – Absolutely not. But this little Tupperware tidbit was floating around in more than one place.
I know, now you’re saying how does this help my business Amanda? The answer is that if Tupperware is good enough to keep the Queen of England’s cereal fresh, shouldn’t it be good enough for everyone?
Of course, you know that but do your customers? You now have one more valuable little tidbit that can make you valuable in others eyes.
Enjoy your cereal stories!

How can being a Tupperware demonstrator help your business? There are actually a few ways this can help:
- Lets people see what you are talking about
- Lets people play with your plastic
- Shows you as a knowledgeable person - a benefit to society, not just a pusher of products
- Gets you talking to people about Tupperware
- Takes the pressure off of you when others start sharing their ideas and suggestions
- Gives you leverage – ie) next time, I’ll demonstrate this other product
- Gets people talking about Tupperware, and that we’re not only about the burping bowls anymore
Demonstrating the products is key to any Tupperware business, whether you do a demo one on one or in a group setting. Letting people know what Tupperware can do to solve their problems will help you to build your business.
Do you have any demo ideas you’d like to share? Leave a message to start the conversation.

Tupperware citrus peelers can’t be ordered by the general public, so they can be a HUGE help to your business.
How, you ask, can this tiny piece of plastic with a hook on it, be of any use to your business.
Well, you can use it:
- in door hanger bags with your information (then you’ve already given people something, so they are more likely to connect with you)
- as give aways at a party (promote that the only way to get it is at a party, so if others have friends or family looking they can get them at your party)
- as give aways at markets or fairs (with your business card attached, of course)
You can also position yourself as an invaluable member of society by using your Tupperware citrus peeler to:
- open letters
- remove staples
- remove can labels
- push cuticles
- clean fingernails
- turn flat head screws
- stir drinks
- aerate your lawn
- butter bread
- remove fish hooks
- eye potatoes
- crochet
- remove wax from furniture
- scrape food off the counter
- clean around the sink faucets
- clean the seal around the door of your refrigerator
- splint a finger
So, be sure to carry at least one where ever you go and use it to help your business grow.
Do you have more uses for the citrus peeler? Leave a comment below and help others too.

Tupperware Canada consultants are a wonderful bunch of people. Now, I am biased of course, because of an intimate relationship with one particular consultant. She is constantly challenging me to be better and to get out there and reach out to others, to use her teaching skills to help them build thier businesses becuase she knows that will help hers grow as well.
Tupperware Canada consultants are incredibly lucky because they aren’t trying to do buisness in a saturated market. Less than 0.05% of the North American population is being serviced by a Tupperware consultant, yet 8,100 people a month Google Tupperware Canada. Those are just the numbers I have been told (by my upline), or have found (Google AdWords Keyword Tool).
Does this mean that it’s easy to be Tupperware Canada consultants?
Is it easy to have your own business? Is it easy to work with women all of the time? Is it easy to have a company whose website is not user firendly enough to send customers to?
The answers to those questions are all in how you see things. If things aren’t going as well as you’d hoped, maybe you just need a shift in mindset. If things are going tough, maybe you just need a different approach.
The way to make things easier is to have systems in place to follow so that you can just plug yourself and your people into the system when times get tough. For more information on one Tupperware system that can help out Tupperware Canada consultants, or any consultant for that matter click the link above.
By the way, the consultant in the begining of the post is me… just so my husband doesn’t start to worry!

You’ve had a grand opening Tupperware party, introduced your friends and family to your business, had a couple of parties, things are rolling right along. But then…
Watch out for that wall! Your Tupperware business has just hit the outer wall of your inner circle and SPLAT! The business that has been rolling along now sees the wheels falling off.
But…
There is help, there are ways to get out of your inner circle and get the wheels back under you before your momentum screeches to a stop.
- Markets and trade shows are a great place to network with others, even if you are not a vendor
- Collect business cards everywhere you go – those are people you can offer your services to later
- Use door hanger bags with your contact information and a flyer (maybe a citrus peeler) to introduce yourself to a new neighborhood
- Use the internet. Wait… what?
Did you think I was only going to offer “old school” tactics to you. The first three ways of contacting people have been working for the last 60ish years for people who have their own Tupperware businesses and they do still work. You can find people who are looking for Tupperware by doing those things – and you will most likely hear a lot of responses like, “I haven’t seen Tupperware in years” and “Tupperware still exists?”
I have never come across someone who says, “What is Tupperware?” but maybe those people are out there, somewhere…, under a rock maybe.
The fourth way of getting out of your inner circle seems to be a “new” way Tupperware is loosening the reigns a little on. You see, as an independent business owner you are allowed to advertise yourself on the Internet, Facebook, and Twitter. Just look in your back office for the rules. The Internet can be another tool you can use to keep the momentum rolling.
Want to know more about how to use the internet, check out how Mike Dillard can help and then email me, I’d be happy to help your journey continue.
Don’t let those wheels fall off, the screeching sound of the momentum stopping is a terrible noise in your ears (and your wallet).
Talk to you soon…
Check out the exclusive interview with a Tupperware Millionairess here.
Are you a Tupperware consultant who has not heard of Mike Dillard yet? Not that long ago, so was I. But now that I know who he is and what he stands for I believe he is what Tupperware needs. OK, maybe not him directly, but what he bases making money on.
You see, Mike was a struggling home business guy who really tried what “they” were telling him to do. But he was tired of cold calling people, of chasing his friends and family, and of being rejected (sound familiar).
Mike was like many a Tupperware consultant, right before they quit. But what he did was revolutionary.
He wrote something called Magnetic Sponsoring (click to get your copy). In it he talks about becoming the hunted instead of the hunter. You see, there are SO many people out there who are actively looking for Tupperware and for home business opportunities and Mike’s premise was that instead of talking to the people who don’t care that you are a Tupperware consultant you should be talking to the people who do.
The light bulb went on. Wouldn’t it be easier if there was a tool that we could use, following all of Tupperware’s rules of course, to get in front of people who actually want Tupperware and who actually want to become a Tupperware consultant? If only this tool existed…
I apologize if my sarcasm is a little thick here, but why are we making our job so hard? We, as Tupperware consultant s already, see the value that there is in the company and the product. My up-line reminded me that less than 0.05% of the population (in North America) is serviced by a Tupperware consultant. People call any old plastic container “Tupperware”. So people know it and people want it.
Did you know that 2,740,000 people Google the word “Tupperware” and that 6,600 people Google “Tupperware consultant”per month?
Don’t believe the numbers? Check out the Google Keyword Tool(type in Tupperware consultant for local searches too) and see for yourself. That’s a lot of people who are actively looking for Tupperware and a Tupperware consultant. And what do people find when they are searching?
They find a corporate site that is anything but user friendly and a bunch of junk by disgruntled past consultants who shouldv’e put as much effort into their business as they do into bashing Tupperware online. I know that there are rules that seem to change more than some people’s underwear when it comes to talking about Tupperware online, but the truth is that Tupperware has only been trying to keep its integrity.
Think of it like this…
Way back when Earl Tupper invented Tupperware and Brownie Wise “invented” the home party, Tupperware became revolutionary. It was a great way to do business after the war, and it’s still a great way to do business to some degree.
I believe in the Tupperware party, I believe that it is best to demonstrate what solutions these wonderful products can provide to people, but I also believe that times have changed.
Tupperware was on top of the world and they just want it to stay that way. The home party changed things, Tupperware changed things. But now things are changing again.
Did you know that people are spending more time on their computers than they are on TV now, and that newspapers are closing up shop all over the world (in print anyway) because their sales are so low? Google, a search engine, has become a verb (something you do, for you non English majors). Society has changed, and Tupperware needs to change too.
So What’s a Tupperware consultant to do?
Change with the times. I believe Tupperware is seeing that things need to be done differently (just look in your back office about what they say is OK to use as a domain name). But my opinion is that they don’t really know how to do that and maintain their integrity as a company. I wish they would show that they really are about empowering the people they bring into the business and believe that we are not going to be anything but honest and sincere.
Maybe this is my naive Canadian way showing here, but the way I see it is that if you want to be a successful Tupperware consultant you can’t go around talking smack about the company or the products. And who’s going to listen to those Negative Nellie’s that do that anyway? Tupperware corporate should realize that they have a strong foundation and that it’s time to put some trust into the people who are representing them.
Is Mike Dillard Really a Tupperware Consultant?
No, well, I don’t think so. But he’d make a great one. He’s honest, he’s revolutionary and he’s got little kids so he’d fit right in with most other Tupperware consultants and he gets results:
- In less than 36 months, he has made over $7,000,000 online and as much as $354,000 in less than 7 days
- His personal websites get more traffic than most Fortune 500 companies
- Over 300,000 entrepreneurs from over 65 countries have subscribed to his Video Boot Camp Newsletter, which he provides for free
What does he really have to do with being a Tupperware consultant? His idea of getting yourself in front of people who are actually looking for what you’ve got will make your job easier. You will be talking to the right crowd. You will be the hunted Tupperware consultant instead of the one who people avoid like the plague.
If you’re tired of talking to people who don’t seem to care and if you’re ready to get in front of those people who are actually looking for what you’ve got, email me: amandaswedberg@amandaswedberg.com I’d love to help you get started today.

Just a short post today, but an interesting one just the same.
I just came across this great article and I wanted to share it with you. It is about Asha Gupta, the managing director of Tupperware India.
I think many women around the world can relate to her experience when her mother hosted a party for her.
Could you relate? Leave me a comment.
Tupperware is a “job” where you can earn as you learn. Unlike other professions that require year of education that you have to pay for, in Tupperware you can learn by doing - and it pays you!
If you ask me, that’s a pretty revolutionary approach. However, we can take it another profound and powerful step.
Not only will you learn while you earn, but you will learn faster and powerfuller by teaching what you’re learning to others, and this has direct earning potential on your earning potential as well.
In today’s society we put a lot of emphasis on teaching our children. As parents we teach our kids the difference between right and wrong, to develop strong character and values, and to respect others. But ask any parent, who really learns the most in the relationship, you or your kids?
It is clear that we learn more by teaching.
While you are learning you are wide open to all that Tupperware has to offer and you have a hunger to master your subject and to explore new ways to do things. Having someone share the path with you is a powerful thing.
So if you are new or seasoned in Tupperware look for others to teach along the way.

When it comes to making a Tupperware presentation sometimes its difficult for many of us to ask others to commit to showing what we have to offer. We feel like we’re imposing on them. They are busy and time is very valuable.
Well guess what, your time is valuable too. If you look up presentation in the dictionary you’ll see it’s a performance, or to offer to another a gift.
So, every time you sit down with someone and share Tupperware products or the Tupperware opposrtunity, you’re offering that person a gift.
For you to think enough of yourself and others to schedule your valuable time with them and share something you truley believe will benefit them makes you special.
Sometimes this is hard to remember, especially when we run into people who reject Tupperware (why, I have no idea!!). But if you are clear that your presentation is a gift, you can always feel good about giving it, even if others don’t accept it.
After all, what kind of person goes around giving others a gift all the time? A good person, that’s who.
Keep talking Tupperware – there are peopel out there looking for it, lots of people who are looking for your gift.

Check out an exclusive interview with a Tupeprware Millionairess here.
Back when we were kids most of us realized that we had special talents, skills and desires. Most of us even realized that ours were unique. We instinctively knew that we were here for a reason and that we could make a difference in the world. Can you remember that time?
Take a minute and close your eyes. Remember back to that time in your life when you knew that you were special. Focus in on your true beliefs. Take a couple of deep breaths, relax completely and let yourself go there. Maybe you are playing a childhood game, or swinging in a tree. Go ahead – this blog post will still be here when you get back.
Oh, your back. I was just remembering lining up all my dolls and teddy bears and being the school teacher. Anyway…
It doesn’t matter if you wanted to be an actor, a teacher, a fireman, a Tupperware Lady or anything else, what matters is the way you’d feel if you were actually doing those things. Here’s another way to get to the “what if”…
Don’t judge any of the answers you have, just write them down, no conditions, no matter what, let it flow out of you onto the paper and answer these 3 questions:
- If I didn’t have to work for a living – what would I love to do? (Clarification – doing what you love)
- If I were just given one million dollars tax free what would be the first thing I’d do with it? (Not pay bills, or survival stuff – think bigger)
- If I learned that I had six months to live, what would I do with the rest of my life? (Six health months left)
Now review your answers carefully. Some of what you wrote may seem too outrageous to be real and that’s OK but some of it may bounce out at you.
What you need to do is ask yourself, “if I had that, or did that, what would it bring to me?”
As you start to answer that question you’ll start to get closer to your essence, and you’ll know you are there when you can’t answer any other way. When you get there, accept it for what it is and try it on for size.
The essence of those dreams that you had as a kid, and the answers you’ve got to the questions lead to the lifestyle you want to live – these are the keys to your true purpose. And we all have a purpose.
Our thoughts are incredibly powerful, they shape what comes into our lives and one way to focus our thoughts is to write them down.
Writing is a powerful action, and when you write things down your subconscious mind commits to it. When done positively your subconscious actually perceives it as fact and will guide your life as if the purpose were true.
“You are what you think you are.”

When trying to sell Tupperware, it is likely you will need to overcome buyer’s obstacles before they make a decision. Often the way that we “handle” those objections turn off our buyers
Resolving objections effectively is a process that involves sensitive, careful listening and factual, positive responses to people’s concerns.
Remember that buyer’s objections are not always rational, and are often completely emotional. You need to learn to respond to customer’s emotional needs and the obstacles that are preventing them from buying in order to build long term relationships, and those long term relationships are key to those who sell Tupperware.
To Sell Tupperware by Overcoming Objections Follow These 5 steps:
- Listen. Sometimes it can be really challenging to listen to objections, but in general we tend to hear the same objections over and over. This leads to us as a sales force learning what we need to say to overcome those objections but because we are familiar with the common objections we may only listen half-heartedly and jump in with a cookie-cutter response. Instead, try to slow down the sales process, listen for understanding and see objections from the buyer’s point of view.
- Question. When you are trying to sell Tupperware and someone objects, you can look at it one of four ways:
- i. What they say
- ii. What you hear
- iii. What you interpret it to mean
- iv. What they really mean
It is critical that you and the buyer understand what the concern really is. Be careful not to interpret the objection, because you may be way off base.
3. Cushion. This is simply a statement that acknowledges that you’ve listened, heard the objection and recognized it’s importance. It does not agree, disagree or answer the objection.
4. Response. When trying to sell Tupperware your response is determined by a great number of factors. These include the relationship you’ve built with the buyer, your related interests, and the buying perspective. However, one of the best ways to respond to objections is evidence because evidence defeats doubts.
5. Evaluate. You may think you’ve done a terrific job resolving any objections, but it is how the buyer feels that matters. Before trying to sell Tupperware make sure that the buyer is ready to move forward, not just you.
These 5 steps to overcoming objections are adapted from the Dale Carnegie Sales Training process. The most effective way to sell Tupperware is to listen to people and be able to speak to their objections.

Are you a Tupperware consultant who struggles with what to say to people? Maybe you haven’t had the best success rate yourself, so you don’t like talking to people about how great they could be or maybe you’re just at a loss for words.
You’ve finally got someone who is interested in being a Tupperware consultant sitting in front of you and your mind goes blank. Well, I love Tupperware over and over again just isn’t going to cut it, is it?
Make it all about the other person, and…
Here are 6 things that a Tupperware Consultant can use to help
- We have our next live event on (whatever day). The last time the team met we had a blast and learned about (whatever training). Anyway, every serious earner and teammate attends our live events. I know it’s kind of a surprise idea, but I’d love to pick you up. Is there any chance you’d be able to come?
- So how many home business things have you tried? THEY SHARE. What do you think has been missing in each of those experiences? THEY SHARE…YOU RESPOND THAT YOUR TUPPERWARE TEAM FILLS THAT GAP IN A SPECIFIC WAY
- When was the last time your boss, or any of your friends asked you to actually share your dreams? Why don’t they? Think about it…because they know that your job makes it impossible to achieve ANYTHING you just shared with me. I’m not saying to be angry at the people in your life, but if you want those things you just mentioned, you have to add a new circle of influence in your life. And our teammates, like X, and Y, and Z…they are motivated, inspiring, successful people. It’s amazing to be around their energy.
- When I joined Tupperware, I remember I had to use a credit card my husband and I swore we wouldn’t touch, and it was 27% interest. But I really wanted it, so that’s how I got started. You are definitely in a tricky place with money right now, but the best stories come from people just like you and I. Really, nobody joins Tupperware because they love their current life…they join it because it is the best way to get out of their situation. This is the beginning of a great story. You know what I mean?
- So, to succeed in Tupperware, it requires less time than a part-time job to begin with…but at least 10 hours a week. How would you fit that time commitment into your current schedule?
- So what do you like best about what you’ve seen so far? Obviously, before you get started, you probably have 2 or 3 major questions you want answered before you get going…so, what are those questions you want answered before you join today?
Remember that the key is to listen to the person you are talking to and speak to what they are saying to you and how they are saying it. It’s more than following some script, its about building that relationship where people realize you are really trying to help them.

There are a few things I have learned that I wish I would have known earlier. Today I share 4 of those little known facts that most Tupperware uplines won’t tell you, mainly because they don’t know.
When Building a Tupperware Business…
There are only a few things that people need to be skilled at to successfully build an Tupperware business but unfortunately they don’t get trained in these areas unless someone tells them to.
4 Big Tips for Your Tupperware Business
1. Focus on sales. One of the most influential books I have ever read is Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to 100 Million in No Time Flat
2. Invest in your people and sales skills. The most important skill you can have in your Tupperware business is the ability to sponsor people. To me the biggest hindrance is not understanding that people don’t actually want a Tupperware business, they want their problems solved. I had a discussion with one of my Tupperware teammates this morning and she had this aha moment this morning, let me share what I mean:
People don’t want a drill, they want a hole.
People don’t want a lawnmower, they want nice grass.
People don’t want ibuprofen, they want the pain to be gone.
People don’t want a Tupperware business, they want time and financial freedom.
Because so few people invest in their sales abilities they struggle to grasp the concept of being a problem solver versus being a sales person.
3. Get around the people that have the lifestyle you want, and DON’T listen to the opinions of those that don’t. Your brother-in-law thinks you are in a pyramid scheme but his lifestyle sucks? Don’t listen to him. Your upline that makes a ton of money, travels all the time and has the lifestyle you want suggest something? Listen.
4. Track your expenses. MOST of the time early Tupperware consultants do NOT do the best job of this but the reality is almost everyone KEEPS more money by simply being in a Tupperware business than not due to the tax benefits. I recently saw a Free webinar on this with tax expert Sandy Botkin that you can check out here.
Most Important Thing About Your Tupperware Business
OK, so I guess you get 5 tips in this blog (ok if I over-deliver?) The biggest thing is to understand this post is NOT about your Tupperware HOBBY…it’s about your Tupperware business, always, always, treat it like a business and give it the respect it deserves to grow into something huge. This way no one person can EVER make you doubt this industry just like no one person could make you doubt a million dollar business you are building. To your success!
Sell Tupperware? It’s hard enough to get in front of people and do your job sometimes so why not get the most you can out of your effort.
Here are 5 tips you can use to build bigger sales at your Tupperware parties.
- Know what the purchase with purchase specials are each month and let people know that they qualify for them. Not that they can purchase them, but that they qualify for specials from Tupperware.
- When you are taking orders stay close to the action. Be within earshot so you can answer questions, continue to plant booking and recruiting bids and sell your Tupperware sets. At the beginning of the party give each guest a blank piece of paper and encourage her to write down everything she likes throughout the entire party. You could tell her something like, “if you’re like me, you’ll see so much that you like, that by the time we get to the order form you’ll everything. Why not list them on this paper first, then at the end we can decide what you can’t live without and I’ll help you fill out the order form.”
- When she shows you her list of Tupperware you’ll get valuable information on what she likes. You can then use that information to talk directly to her about sets, or if she has way more on her paper than she can order, offer the chance to get the rest for free at her own party, or at a discount.
- Never judge someone by her looks and decide for her if she can afford Tupperware or not. Looks can be very deceiving.
- When going over her order form try some different conversation starters like:
- This is one of our most popular items and it goes great with ______.
- I understand why you like ____ best. May I show you my favorite Tupperware product?
- You’ve qualified for Tupperware’s monthly special.
- Do you have anything coming up where you might need a gift? Tupperware makes great shower and wedding presents.
- I couldn’t help but notice all the things on your paper. Let’s talk about what you can’t live without, get them ordered tonight, and then how you can get the rest for free.
Your success in your Tupperware business lies in being able to sell Tupperware and these are just a few things that can help you upsell at the end of the party. Did you find them useful? Leave me a comment.
Barbie really can help you be a better Tupperware consultant, she is plastic after all! And a Smidget is her ideal Tupperware bowl. Barbie is iconic, just like Tupperware and she has a saying that we can embrace as well.
“If you can dream it, you can be it.”
I doubt that Barbie was the first one to say this, but it is a powerful message to have in front of little girls worldwide and you can put those same words into being a Tupperware consultant.
What is your dream with your Tupperware business? Do you dream of going on a family vacation, or earning a car? Do you dream of being financially free and leading the life you want to live? Do you dream of helping others achieve their goals? Do you dream of changing the world?
Only you can answer what your biggest dream is, but Tupperware can help you achieve it. Sometimes we get stuck in the day to day of running a business and forget why we chose to do it in the first place.
It is very hard for some of us to let go and dream.
Whether you are brand new, or a seasoned veteran allow yourself to have a dream.
I challenge you to close your eyes and just dream. Take away all of the road blocks – time, money, situation – and truly dream about what life would be like for you. Where would you go, what would you do, who would you be?
Tupperware can be the vehicle to get you there if you let it. Believe!

The absolute toughest thing you face as a Tupperware consultant is rejection. Rejection drives away incredibly talented people all the time, and learning how to deal with it is a critical part of your success.
The other day my daughter came home from school with a saying I hadn’t heard in years. “I’m rubber and you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.” She has two little brothers who like to torment her, so naturally they listen to every word out of her mouth and turn it against her.
Needless to say, we have now heard that saying at least 30 times a day. You just gotta love little brothers!!
We can use that saying as Tupperware consultants too. The hardest thing we deal with in our business is rejection. No one likes to hear no, but if we implement the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” philosophy we can be successful.
Here’s 8 Tools for a Tupperware Consultant to Become Rubber:
- Have a belief in Tupperware as a company and a product. There are Tupperware products to help people save money, time, space and waste and a company that believes in empowering women and children. Check out the Tupperware website for more inspiration.
- Concentrate on being focused on your purpose and goals. Become the rubber here and let everything that tries to knock you off your path bounce off you.
- Constantly remind yourself that others have been here and done this. There are other successful Tupperware consultants who can motivate and inspire you. Imagine you are the glue here, let their success stick to you.
- Stop internalizing no’s. It hurts our feelings when someone rejects us but if you can learn to let it bounce off you instead of sticking to your heart you will be more successful. It is only on the rare occasion that someone’s no is actually about you and the sooner you learn that the better for you and your business.
- Associate with only positive people and keep yourself motivated by watching, listening and reading positive material that keeps you strong.
- Keep your emotions positive and on purpose.
- Imagine yourself as wrapped in a rubber suit of armor where you are safe, where no one can hurt because anything bad they say bounces off you.
- Know when to take a break and reenergize. You are not in your Tupperware business alone. If you notice a crack in your protection stop and fix it before it becomes a bigger crack and takes over your entire Tupperware business.
No one is persuasive enough to get all yes’s; no’s are part of being a Tupperware consultant. Make the shift in how you deal with no’s sooner rather than later.

My last post introduced you to the D.I.S.C. personality profile system and now you can learn how to speak right to the heart of each personality.
Let’s start with the D’s.
Who are the D personalities? They are the people who are outgoing and task oriented. They are generally the ones who are leading and running over everyone in their way.
Words that describe D’s are determined, decisive, direct, dominate, demanding and doer. D’s want a challenge, want to be in control and want choices.
When you are talking to D’s about the Tupperware opportunity use phrases like:
- “You are in charge of your own business.”
- “You determine when you work and who you work with”
- “There is no stopping you, the sky’s the limit.”
D’s need:
- Short presentations
- People to listen to them
- Answers to her questions
- Facts
When you talk to a D about the Tupperware business focus on high income potential, management opportunities and independence and they will know you are speaking their language.
The I’s are influential and inspiring, interactive, inducing, impressive and interested in people. They are likely at the front of the room cheering everyone else on. I’s are outgoing and people oriented.
Communicate to I’s about the Tupperware opportunity with phrases like:
- “Wouldn’t it be nice to be somewhere where you are recognized for your achievements?”
- “Could you get excited about earning a family Disney vacation?”
- “Are you ready to have fun while creating the life you’ve always dreamed of?”
I’s need you to:
- Get to know her first
- Give personable presentations
- Build rapport
- Be a good listener because they love to talk
- Have high energy
I’s need to all these things in place in order to feel the fit with your Tupperware opportunity.
S’s are reserved and people oriented. They are sweet, sensitive, supportive, steady, stable, and status quo. They do not like to rock the boat. S’s are the ones who are making sure everyone is comfortable.
S’s need you to be appreciative and value security. Make them feel comfortable by using phrases like:
- “Isn’t it great that Tupperware has been around for over 60 years and that it’s very stable?”
- “Tupperware treats its consultants like family. It’s a very supportive environment.”
- “Can you imagine being in a positive environment where you can make a difference in people’s lives?”
S’s:
- Need to come to rally as a guest
- Need you to talk about Tupperware being over 60 years old, and reputable
- Need emphasis on being part of the Tupperware family
- Need to know there is a support team behind her
Understand that S’s generally take longer to complete the decision making process, so continue to support her while she processes the information and you’ll be speaking to the heart of an S.
And finally the C’s. C’s are careful, consistent, cautious, competent, calculating and contemplative.
C’s like it when you:
- Share the facts, tools and processes that are in place in Tupperware
- Emphasize the professional development involved in Tupperware
- Build Tupperware’s credibility
- Be precise with follow-up
Speak a C’s language with phrases like:
- “Tupperware has a solid infrastructure and has the tools you need to build a successful business.”
- “Tupperware has been in business for over 60 years. Can you see where that would provide you the security you need?”
- “What support documentation do you need to assist you in making a decision to be part of Tupperware, a financially stable company?”
- Expect lots of questions from a C and understand that she tends to have an extended decision making process.
Please remember that these are all generalities, and people don’t fit into only one category, there is a lot of cross over but if you want to speak their language you will learn how to find their dominant personality place.
What is your dominant personality? Leave me a comment.
Have you ever met someone who you know would be a great fit in your Tupperware team but who seems unaffected by the opportunity you are offering? You know she would be a great Tupperware Lady and that you’d love to have her on your team, but she just doesn’t see it that way?
You know that the strength of your career relies on you being able to build your team, but you just don’t seem to be connecting with people. You know there is a great opportunity with Tupperware and you want to share that with others, but they just don’t get it.
Help is here.
You are missing the way to connect with those people because you are thinking how you think instead of how they think. I know, it sounds confusing because you only know how to think like you, and I’m not asking you to think the same way as others, just to recognize that there are other ways.
People can be put into four general categories when it comes to how they think –or their personality style. These are just generalities and people have overlap into other categories, but if you recognize where people dominantly “fit” it will be easier to talk to them in a way they can relate to.
The four types are the D, I, S and C and each have their own distinct qualities.
D’s can be described with words like direct, decisive, demanding, dominant, determined and doer.
I’s are described with words like interactive, inspiring, impressive, influencing, inducing, and interested in others.
The S’s are steady, supportive, sensitive, sweet, stable, and status quo.
C’s can be described as consistent, cautious, competent, calculating, contemplative and careful.
The D’s and I’s are more outgoing people while the S’s and C’s are more reserved. The D’s and C’s are more task oriented, while the I’s and S’s are more people oriented.
Think of this in terms of people on your team. The D’s are the ones who are generally “let’s do it my way, let’s do it now, I don’t have time to think about other ways”. The I’s are the ones cheering and rah, rah teaming. The S’s are making sure everyone has a chair and asking if others need anything and the C’s are working behind the scenes.
Remember, no one lives entirely in their dominant personality type but by recognizing that people can be put generally into these different personality types you can start to talk to them in a way that will connect with them.
I know this may all seem a little confusing, but I am going to spend the next few days telling you more about how to talk to each personality type and then it should all make sense.
My goal here is to help put you into others shoes so that you can connect with them and build rapport. You are in a relationship business, so learning to talk to people in a way they can relate to will help you to build that business.

Isn’t it great when someone calls you or leaves you a message that they want to buy some Tupperware from you? That is one of my favorite phone messages to receive in my Tupperware business, especially when it comes out of the blue, from someone I haven’t talked to in months. It means they remember I am their Tupperware Lady, even when I’m not right in front of them.
If you’re not experiencing these phone calls maybe your just being a good Tupperware Lady (or man) and not an exceptional one. By going the extra mile and providing exceptional customer service you can start to get these calls.
Here are 10 Tips That Can Help You Become Great Tupperware Ladies or Gentlemen
- Remember hosts and customers’ names and use them frequently. If you are terrible with names you can even use name tags at parties.
- Remember what they have purchased before (get your copy of the sales form out and look before you call them)
- Learn what they like and dislike – write it on the sales sheet for quick reference
- Send thank you notes – I have an entire post on this that you can reference
- Contact regularly – “I’m just calling to see if you received your… How’s it working for you?” Or – “I know you purchased a small fridge smart at whoever’s party and I was wondering how it’s working for you… They are on sale this month and I wanted to make sure that you knew now would be the perfect time to get some more and start saving more money in your fridge.” If they aren’t using the one they have now is the time to find out why and help them remember why they bought it in the first place.
- Put their needs above your own – don’t just call them to make a sale.
- Inform them of sales and specials – “I just know you love the modular mates and they’re on sale this month, so I immediately thought of you.”
- Be available to your customers – if they need warranty work done, do it for them in a timely manner and they will remember that and tell their friends about you and that opens more doors for your business
- Follow up when you say you will – when you say you’ll call someone to let them know about anything, call them. They’ve already opened the door, so that 50 pound phone doesn’t need to get in the way here.
- Remember facts about them and their family – write them down on your sales sheet and keep it out. If these are people you see a lot, ask about their kids or grandkids when you talk to them so they remember that you do listen and pay attention.
Everyone likes to be paid attention to, so start to go that extra mile and pay attention to what your customers are saying.

Success comes when you can keep, or get and then keep, the momentum going in your Tupperware business. How do you do that? You need to be talking to people about Tupperware. And where is a good place to do that? At a party.
Sounds easy enough, but most of you know it’s not that simple, is it? Here are some steps to increase your confidence to ask everyone. Start following…
Three Steps to Successfully Booking a Tupperware Party
1. Attract: By actively listening to people – ask questions and then actively listen to the answers to build a relationship with people. People rarely listen to one another anymore, so if you can actually listen and respond to what people say instead of what you pre-determine you want to get across you will make others feel important and attract them to you and your Tupperware business.
When you start the conversation and then listen people will tell you how to ask them to host a Tupperware party. Listen and then match the great reasons to party with what they’ve said. If they are talking about being really busy and needing a night out, motivate them to have a party by talking about getting thier friends together. If they are talking about not having enough money, talk about free Tupperware. You match up the great reasons to host a party with the reasons they are looking for and you attract business to you.
2. Excite: Get people excited to have a Tupperware party. Show them the benefit of a party. This goes with the end of the last part. You could suggest that a Tupperware party would be a great way to make time to get together with friends. The more you tap into their excitement that connects with why they want to party, the more likely you are to book a party with them.
3. Book: Get a date into your planner. A Tupperware party isn’t really booked until you have a date in your planner, so be specific. After you have identified their needs and communicated the benefits of hosting a Tupperware party, close by asking something like, “Would a weekday or weekend be better for you and your friends and family” and listen to the answer. “Great, I have next Tuesday available, does that work for you?” You need to stay in control here, and know what days you want to work so you know what days to offer. See my post about selling Tupperware on your own schedule.
Attract, Excite and Book Your Way to Tupperware Success
Stop being selective, start actively listening and match the benefits of hosting a party to the person you are talking to and you will get parties.

Are you frustrated with building your Tupperware business? Do you feel stuck? Aren’t sure where to get started?
You need to understand that everyone struggles with their Tupperware business at some point. Those people that have no desire to succeed just give up and those that see that Tupperware is the solution seek help.
Print these keys to success and re-read them when things get tough. Remember that there are others who have felt, or feel, the same way you do.
Here are 7 Keys to Your Tupperware Success
- Don’t seek outside approval, but instead, be on a mission. You made a decision to start a Tupperware business so don’t doubt it every other day. Instead give it the things it needs to grow and the energy to get it moving in a forward direction.
- Not everyone is going to join your Tupperware business, no matter how excited you are, or how great you know they would be at it, but this is not a reflection of you or your Tupperware business.
- Tupperware is a momentum business, so find a routine to work at it every day even if you have only a little time to put in. You can still work part time at your business and build your momentum at the same time. Tupperware is not a business that grows and thrives if you try and do some today, nothing for the next week, lots next Tuesday, etc.
- Stop thinking that it is going to be Free to build the business. You have to be willing to invest in your business and yourself if you want it to grow into something real. Sometimes the “free” option costs you the most in time and turns out to be the most expensive way to do things.
- Attend Tupperware events. Team meetings, rallies, catalog launches, whatever you call them they are important to really growing your business. You can network with people who are growing their Tupperware businesses and who face the same struggles you do. You also have access to leaders who have done what you are trying to do, so use them and their experience. If you bought a McDonalds or Tim Hortons franchise and paid a million dollars for it you would go to every event that would help it to grow. Treat your Tupperware business the same way.
- Implement money producing habits. To get something you’ve never had you have to be willing to do things you’ve never thought you could do. If you’re not willing to change some of your daily habits you won’t experience a big change in your Tupperware business. We all have 24 hours in our day, how you choose to spend them is up to you.
- Stop waiting to be perfect and get started. Start with what you do know. Maybe you have a favorite Tupperware product you could share with people. Don’t be scared that you don’t know everything about all the products or the pay plan or that people will ask you things you might not know the answer to. Just get started – you’d be surprised how much more you already know than the average person and you have a connection to people who do know, so again, use your leaders. You will learn as you go, but you have to start the momentum going forward.
Treat Your Tupperware Business Like a Business

Sell Tupperware? Ever wondered why some people seem to be able to sell, sell, sell while others work and work and work and make very few sales?
Maybe you are even the work, work, work with little to show Tupperware consultant who is tired of finally getting a party only to have a few dollars in sales.
Maybe you are the one who is trying to sell Tupperware to people who have zero interest in buying it (hard to believe, but there are people who are not interested in Tupperware, how dare they!!).
Maybe you are tired of trying to sell Tupperware, tired of all the hard work for so little return.
Did you know that there are words that completely turn people off in sales and words that will help you sell anything, especially sell Tupperware.
6 Words That Will Help You To Sell Tupperware
- You
- Own
- Free
- Secret
- Exclusive
- Guarantee
Guess what? People don’t care what Tupperware can do for you or me, they only care what it can do for them. Really concentrate on saying things like “you can use the peeler this way or this way” (flip it or this will be really weird). “You can…, you could…, you, you, you.”
When we are selling Tupperware we have trouble remembering this step because it is easier to say things like, “I love this…” and “I have this…”. Who cares? People only care what they can get out of it so start to talk about them instead of you.
It’s okay to practice this step because it will take work to stop talking about yourself. You will need to consciously think about this and it will be hard in the beginning, but it will make a big difference when it comes to actually selling Tupperware.
“Own” is the next word that people who sell Tupperware need to focus on. Forget the words “buy” and “purchase” because they turn people off. They make people think about handing over their hard earned money for what you’ve got to sell instead of how they can be enjoying Tupperware.
Instead of saying “buy it now” try saying “own it today” and have better luck when you sell Tupperware.
How the Word FREE Can Actually Help You Sell Tupperware
People love the word FREE because, let’s face it, we all love free stuff. I can hear you saying, “but Amanda, I want to sell Tupperware not give it away for free”.
Well, where is the best place to sell Tupperware?
At a party.
And how do you get a party? Talk to people about the FREE Tupperware they get for being a host. Tupperware has a great host program in place for you to use, so talk about it. It’s free.
Another way you can use the word free to sell Tupperware is to use it when you are selling in sets. These can be Tupperware created sets, or sets you’ve come up with yourself. Then tell people that you sell Tupperware to that when they own this set of… they get the … for free.
If you are really reaching for a goal, set a sale number for yourself and tell people they can get free shipping if they get to that number. Of course you still have to pay the shipping, but isn’t it worth the $3.95 to get those sales?
The next word to use to sell Tupperware is a secret so shh…
People love secrets so this is a very magnetic word. They are drawn to secrets because it makes them feel like they know what other people don’t. Tupperware has tons of secrets that most people don’t know about so market that.
Do you know the $100 secret that could be in your fridge right now? Do you know the secret to getting your mirrors clean? Do you know the secret to saving money in your lunch?
Everyone wants to know the secrets. You have the products that answer these secrets right at your fingertips, so use them to sell Tupperware.
You do know the answers to these secrets, right? If you don’t know, how can you use them to sell Tupperware? Email me at amandaswedberg@amandaswedberg.com to get the secrets.
Sell Tupperware That is Exclusive to People At A Party
Tupperware has done the work for you here. The back page of the monthly flyer has products that are exclusive to people at a party, so sell it that way.
Like secrets, people are drawn to things that are exclusive because it might normally be out of their reach. Another thing you can do here is tie in the sets you’ve created and market them as exclusive to this party. People will be drawn to it because only they can have it because only they are at this party – it’s exclusive. So get that exclusive stuff out there so you can sell Tupperware.
I guarantee a guarantee can make a fence sitter into a buyer. Again, Tupperware has made this easy to talk about because of the lifetime warranty. What could be a better guarantee than that?
If your goal is to sell Tupperware, then talk about the warranty. There is a built in, long lasting guarantee so there is nothing for people to lose when they buy Tupperware from you.
There you have it. Six powerful words to help you sell Tupperware. The next step you need to take to really monetize your Tupperware business is to teach others to do what you do. Share this post with your teams, your prospects and anyone else you think would get value from it.
Please leave me a comment (use the far right link below). Let’s get a conversation started.
Tupperware consultants are not the tax man and there is no way I am even going to pretend that I know much about taxes. Or what we can write off as Tupperware consultants. Like most people, I’ve heard that you get good tax benefits for having a home business and beyond that I’m bored and I hope I don’t get audited.
Did you know that 84% of small businesses over-pay their taxes by $150,000,000,000 every year (yes, 150 BILLION) and over 90% don’t think they are overpaying.
I’d be willing to bet you are among those 90%. Why?
5 Reasons Tupperware Consultants Overpay Their Taxes
- It’s too time consuming to keep track of everything
- Procrastination – Oh I’ll fill out that paperwork tomorrow
- Lost/Faded Receipts
- Mileage Logs are a pain to fill out
- Most people don’t know the rules, so you are scared of an audit
What happens when you combine all of these things? Tupperware consultants are conservative about what they claim on their taxes because they hope the government won’t notice them.
Did you even know you should keep a mileage log so that you can write off part of your vehicle, gas, insurance, oil changes, etc.?
Did you know that the government bets on you as a Tupperware consultant, that your business will be successful? They are so confident in you that they will subsidize a loss you have in your business.
I participated in a webinar recently that featured a tax product that every Tupperware consultant who is working thier business needs to have and that is where this information comes from. It was about TaxBot and I’ve subtitled it just for you – TaxBot;The Tupperware Consultants New Best Friend.
Let me state this again – I am not giving you tax advice, just sharing what Tupperware consultants need to know.
Tupperware Consultants Are Not (Usually) Accountants or Tax Professionals
But, Tupperware consultants should be keeping track of everything you do with your business – who you do it with, what you do, where you go, when you go, why you go and how much it costs should be kept track of EVERY DAY!!
Have you ever been to an event as a Tupperware consultant where you heard that everyone is your prospect? That little rallying point is actually the best tax advice I’ve heard in ages. Because everyone is potentially your prospect you can write off virtually every meal you eat out.
You can be prospecting, talking about recruiting, what ever you call it while you are out to lunch with friends – they are your prospects. You can deduct meals you have with family members over 18, they are your prospects. You can talk to the waitress about being a Tupperware consultants and you are prospecting.
How cool is that? Just another benefit of being Tupperware consultants.
The burden of proof for anything you do business related lies with you, so document everything, and don’t put it off until tomorrow or you may be contributing to that $150 billion come tax time.

One of the reasons Tupperware consultants have trouble recruiting is that they think about selling someone on the business opportunity when they should be focused on finding positive minded people who want more in their lives. Instead of talking so much about the opportunity you need to start asking the right questions, and listening to the answers.
I know there are people out there who struggle with what kinds of questions to ask people. What do I say so I don’t sound pushy? How do I talk to people about the Tupperware opportunity?
I’ve got a list of 15 questions you can use to start conversations with people about Tupperware. Please feel free to print them out and use them with your teams.
Here they are! 15 Tupperware Recruiting Questions!
- Would you be open to a side project that didn’t interfere with what you are currently doing?
- Do you ever get the feeling that you were meant to do something great?
- Do you ever wish you could travel more?
- Do you ever think about how you would like to spend more time with your family?
- Would you be open to exploring another avenue of making an income part time?
- Do you see yourself doing what you are doing 20 years from now?
- Do you keep your options open when it comes to making extra money?
- If money was not an issue, what would you do for fun?
- If money was not an issue, how would you help people?
- What is you would like to see in a home business?
- If you had a magic wand, what would your perfect life be like?
- Do you like helping others and would you be interested in getting paid to do it?
- What are your goals for this year? Why?
- What would you like to change about your current situation?
- Do you know anyone that has been affected by the economy that might be open to making some extra money?
This is obviously just a place to start. Tupperware has something to provide in regards to each of these questions but the key here is to listen to what people say when they answer the question. That will lead the conversation, not any predetermined outcome you have.
How Can Becoming a Tupperware Consultant Solve Others Problems?
Your job now becomes all about telling the person you are talking with how Tupperware can solve their problems, how Tupperware can fit in with what they are looking for.
Building relationships with people becomes much easier when you become a great listener and provider of solutions. Tupperware has the solutions; you can become the vehicle for providing them.
I am always looking for feedback. Please leave me a comment by using the link on the far right (below) and happy recruiting!!
I was recently on a webinar with an amazing blogger named Ray Higdon. He challenged all of the people listening to blog about something he taught us and relate it to the people we blog to (that’s you Tupperware consultants).
I need to say that there were tons of things I could’ve wrote about here, but one thing I think most Tupperware people struggle with was something Ray put in a way I’d never heard before.
He said we should network with everyone and market to our ideal prospect. This is what we’ve been doing wrong. Most Tupperware consultants don’t know the first thing about marketing or networking and we use the terms interchangeably. They are not the same thing.
Networking is sharing information and services amongst people who have a common interest. It is simply sharing information. This would be telling people you are the local Tupperware connection.
Networking is building relationships with those people you meet wherever you go. Networking is giving people compliments, asking them questions and listening to what they have to say. Networking is genuinely connecting with people.
Successful Tupperware Consultants Know the Difference between Marketing and Networking
Marketing is the activities that are involved in transferring goods from seller to buyer. In order to market something there needs to be two people involved, a seller (you) and a buyer (someone who is actually looking for something, not someone who is breathing).
You should be networking with people about Tupperware. Share the information that you are a local Tupperware connection, because, as I’ve said before, it really sucks when your neighbor has a Tupperware party on her lawn with a different consultant.
But…
Stop trying to market to everyone with a pulse because everyone is not looking for the opportunity. You know that anyone could do this, you know people that would be great at it, but you are not them. You can’t decide for them, so continue to network with them, and continue to share information, but stop marketing to them.
There is a difference between marketing and networking and to be successful in Tupperware you need to learn the difference and stop using the words interchangeably.
Do you agree? Do you disagree? Use the last link on the right (below) and leave me a comment.
The best way to increase your income in Tupperware is to grow your team. I know, this is not news to you and it is great in theory, but how do you do that? There are tons of ways out there, but they all come down to talking to people.
I know right, if you want people to join you, you actually have to talk to them. What a concept!! I have talked in other posts about talking to people that are already interested in working from home and about how hard it is for us to just go up to somebody and say, hey, I sell Tupperware and you would be so great at it. Want to join my team?
In my search for a better way I came across a blog about talking to strangers and I want to share with you what the author, Ray Higdon, had to say.
Want to Approach Strangers About Your Tupperware Business?
Basically, Ray says to do three things:
- Give a genuine compliment
- Ask questions
- Position the Tupperware opportunity in a specific way
He says people will then respond in one of three ways:
- No thanks.
- What is it?
- Yeah!
This sounds so simple but it really does apply to what I’ve been talking about. It’s okay to disqualify people. If you find someone you wouldn’t want to work with, don’t do step 3. What have you lost? Nothing, you’ve simply made a compliment to a stranger and may have brightened their day.
So what words does Ray use? Here they are…
“Just throwing it out there but would you be interested in a side project that doesn’t interfere with what you are doing here at _________(wherever they work).
If you get the Yeah! response continue with:
- “I am real busy and running to an appointment but tell you what, we are always looking for sharp people. If you give me your email and phone number I will send you over a short video and if you like what you see, we can talk further, cool?”
Check out Ray’s entire blog post on approaching strangers here.
I haven’t been able to find a really good video that Tupperware has created to send people to yet, so I’m working on my own. It is going to be a short introduction to what the Tupperware business is all about and I am going to post it for everyone to use.
The next critical step is that you follow up with the people you send to the video and see if they are a good fit for your team.
Do you have suggestions for the video? Email me your ideas at amandaswedberg@yahoo.ca

Have you ever thought about how selling Tupperware affects your kids? Do you wonder if they think it’s as good as you do?
Is it worth it to your kids for you to be home or do they just miss you when you’re gone? Do we warp them because we never leave them?
I just got this in my email inbox and wanted to share it with you all. It’s pretty cool to get “the kids” perspective.
Diane Hochman had her daughter share her thoughts on growing up with a mom who had a home business.
This is an absolute must listen to if you are selling Tupperware with your kids at home.
It’s a great, real life interview.
The tip about getting your kids involved is something we should all remember – our kids are smart!!
Listen to Diane and comment.
Are you new to selling Tupperware? The very first thing you need to do is learn how to be self-employed. Owning your own business is not like having a job. There is no one telling you, do this, now do that. You are in charge so you need to learn what to do in order to sell Tupperware.
Get a calendar and decide when you are going to work your business. This is something you should do whether you are putting in full time or part time hours.
If your kids have hockey practice on Thursday nights and you need to be there, then cross out all the Thursday nights on your calendar. If you have to work every other Saturday then cross those off your calendar too.
Selling Tupperware is Supposed to Work with Your Schedule
So figure out your schedule.
Once you have it figured out when you can work your Tupperware business you need to be consistent. Form a habit of doing things that will produce income in your business time.
This isn’t the time to check your email or Facebook. This is the time you should be calling people or partying, the things that make you money.
So, figure out your schedule first so that selling Tupperware truly works around your family not the other way around. You and your family will be a lot happier for it.
Check out what else you can do if you are new, or experienced. Enter your name and email for more information.
Selling Tupperware creates lifelong memories. I was searching the internet for inspiration for this blog and I came across an article that I nearly skipped right over. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but for some reason I started reading the comments section and I was blown away.
The people obviously know each other, but what they have to say is inspiring to someone who thinks selling Tupperware is still a great thing. They are talking about how they remember having a Tupperware party long ago and how they can still remember things they bought and why they bought them.
Just think, as you are getting all dressed up, combing the stray fruit loops out of your hair, putting on something other than sweat pants, someone who attends the party you are going to might just remember this night 20, 30, 40 years from now. That’s a pretty powerful thing when you start to think about it.
You have the opportunity to impact people’s lives. You owe it to yourself to do the very best you can, to educate yourself so you can educate others, not only on Tupperware products but on the benefits of hosting and selling Tupperware. You owe it to yourself and to your guests to make it a night to remember.
I didn’t even check out where these ladies are from, but they need some warranty work done!!
Selling Tupperware can make for lifetime memories.
Do you remember the measuring cups, or the big mixing bowl, or the cups for the kids from your childhood? Help others have those memories too. Keep the memories flowing!
The article I refer to can be found here, Homestead Happenings, Tupperware.
Educate yourself. Sign up to hear what a six figure earner has to say about her Tupperware business.
Tupperware consultants should be proud! We are involved with a truly revolutionary company. I came across this article that is about Rick Goings’ view of the American economy and how Tupperware fits into it. I found his global outlook encouraging.
We live in a small world now, and empowering women by encouraging them to become Tupperware consultants around the world is truly inspiring.
Check out the article, How Tupperware Keeps Business Fresh and Profits High.
What Mr Goings says in the article about not having a one strategy fits all system does get down to the Tupperware consultant level. We have training at team meetings and other local event that encourage us to think outside the normal “Tupperware Lady” box.
As Tupperware consultants we should be proud to work for a company that is truly involved in such a global outlook.
It’s refreshing that president’s of Tupperware in France can work with the French market, and German’s get what German’s are looking for. It is encouraging, that maybe Canada could get what we are looking for some day too. It is also an eye-opener to realize that Tupperware really is keeping up with the trends, look at how we market to what our customers need.
Are you looking for more ways to keep your Tupperware business fresh? Check out my other blog posts and sign up for my free tips.
Are you looking for words to say to people when offering them the opportunity to have a Tupperware party? Some successful word choices are below.
We have gone over how to get somebody to give you their name and phone number and what you should do before you get on the phone, so now it’s time to get somewhere quiet and dial that phone.
Stay in charge, you are not asking for a favor. You are doing them a favor by offering the opportunity to be your hostess. Keep that in mind.
Don’t say, “Would you like to have a Tupperware party?”
That question gives them an easy out. Is it easy for you to pick up the phone and call these people? If it’s not, why are you giving them the easy out right away?
This is your chance to build a relationship with people. Call them up and say, “Hi, this is Amanda with Tupperware. I got your name from my draw boxat …, is now a good time for you?”
No, when would be better. Ok, I’ll talk to you then. Thank you. Good bye.
Yes, great. I see that you are interested in getting free Tupperware,
- Wouldn’t you agree that it would be great to visit with some friends you haven’t seen in a while and have a discounted shopping spree at the same time?
- Do you see the benefit of being a hostess so that you can have a substantial savings on your purchase?
- Isn’t it worth considering being a hostess for the 50% discount you’ll receive on this item?
- Wouldn’t you agree that it’s better to purchase at a discount than pay full price?
Questions with “wouldn’t you agree” and “isn’t it worth considering” are more likely going to be answered with a yes.
Then, offer the dates that you have available. Remember part of the reason you like to work for yourself is that you work when you want.
- I have Tuesday the 3rd or Thursday the 5th available, which one of these works best for you?
- Would a weekend or a weekday be better for you and your guests? Ok, I have Thursday the 5th or Saturday the 7th available.
Offering something and something not something and nothing will get parties into your date book.
Always date in close, whether dating at a Tupperware party or outside of one.
Once you’ve got them in your book good host coaching will lead to a successful party and then start dating at parties because it’s easier to build the business there where people that are interested already are.
Do you want to hear more word choices? Check out the recording with a 6 figure earner, a lady who really knows how to party!
Are you a Tupperware consultant who is trying to get a party into your date book? Are you ready to get on the phone?
Do you know what you should do before you even dig through the laundry and the dust bunnies under the couch to find the phone? Here are some key things to get yourself ready.
Walk while you are making phone calls, it will help keep your energy up and you want that energy conveyed when you are talking about the opportunity to host a party.
Also, smile into a mirror before you call. I know, this seems strange but try it. Try smiling into the mirror and not laughing at yourself; especially if you’ve already dug under the coach for the phone and you now realize that you have dust bunnies and a cheerio in your hair.
Go ahead and laugh at yourself as this simple thing can get you into a good mood and you need to be in a good mood before you get on the phone.
Now, get somewhere quiet, pick up the phone and dial.
This is your chance to build a relationship with people. Call them up and say, “Hi, this is Amanda with Tupperware. I got your name from my draw boxat …, is now a good time for you?”
You need to ask for their permission to talk to them. This will help you to start a relationship. They can say yes or no at this point.
LISTEN for a response. If it’s not a good time find out when would be better and call back then. If it is, build the relationship.
Don’t be that Tupperware consultant who says, “Would you like to have a Tupperware party?”
This gives a needy vibe out and you don’t want to seem needy. You aren’t needy. You don’t need everyone to say yes.
When people say no, they are not saying, “no, I hate you, you are just a pushy lady who’s trying to make me do this.” No doesn’t mean that.
Think of those scary “no’s” like this.
When you go out to a restaurant the waitress usually asks you if you’d like desert, she is offering you something. If you say no the waitress is not going into the back and crying that table 4 doesn’t like me, they don’t want to have dessert. She just moves on and asks the next table if they want dessert.
When you are offering the hostess opportunity you are offering something. They are free to say yes or no and they aren’t talking about you personally but about the opportunity.
Just be the waitress, move on to the next table, or the next draw slip and offer your dessert to the next person. It’s ok if they say no because eventually you get to a table where they are ready for your chocolate cake.
Ready for the words to say when you find someone who wants to know what’s on your dessert menu? Check out the next post.
Another place you can find bookings for a Tupperware party is at hair and nail salons. Women are there, generally without their distractions (i.e. kids, pets, spouses, etc.) so these are great places to set up draw boxes.
Have a draw for something you have or better yet for a gift certificate so the winner can choose their own prize.
First offer the salon owner some free products for letting the box sit on the counter. You could offer something you have on hand or offer her a gift certificate so she can choose her own products. Don’t cheap out here because this could be a long term relationship for both of you. You are asking for help, so offer something of value.
Once you have the owner’s okay it is time to set up your draw box. This doesn’t need to be big because you want to check it at least every two weeks so that you can get interested people’s names out of it. More about the draw slips in a minute.
The box itself could be decorated with pictures cut out of a catalog. You don’t have to have the fanciest box in the world, but branding it will help to draw attention to the box. People are more likely to enter if they actually see the box.
Don’t leave a catalog with the box though. People will take it and then the next person that comes along has nothing to look at. Instead you could leave the front of the catalog in a frame beside the box, or put separate pages of a catalog into those plastic page protectors and into a binder beside the box.
People realize that the binder is supposed to stay. Leave business cards with your contact information beside the box too so that people have a way to contact you if they are looking for something.
Don’t put “Would You Like to Have a Tupperware party?” on the draw slip.
The draw slips need to have a place for the contact’s name, email address, phone number and best time to call. It should also have a place for them to check off if they are interested in free Tupperware, if they have warranty items, if they are looking for ways to make more money, and if they are interested in a fundraiser.
If you offer any other services, maybe Personal Custom Kitchen Consultations, you can add that to the list. Feel free to personalize the draw slip, but the important thing is to remember to hi-lite the services you can provide.
Now that you have some names in the box you have permission to call people. They have told you that they are interested because they have given you their name and number.
Call them. This is your chance to build a relationship with them. Call them up and say, “Hi, this is Amanda with Tupperware. I got your name from my draw box at …, is now a good time for you?”
LISTEN for a response. If it’s not, find out when would be better and call back then. If it is, build the relationship. My next blog post will be on what to say from here.
You now have people that are actively looking for Tupperware, actively looking for FREE Tupperware, and what is the best way to get free Tupperware? By hosting a Tupperware party of course!
Watch for my next post about words to say.
What does eating garbage have to do with Tupperware products? And why would you eat garbage anyway?
You likely won’t be eating garbage on purpose, but if you think about what happens to our garbage you’ll see what I’m getting at.
There is an island that is now the size of Africa, floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This isn’t what you’d normally think of when you think Pacific Island though, this is an “island” made entirely of trash. Everything from hockey sticks to old tires, toothbrushes to pop cans, floating around in the ocean.
Of course all this garbage kills every living thing in it’s path. Small fish eat the plastic that won’t disintegrate, bigger fish eat the smaller fish, then bigger fish eat those fish, then we eat those fish.
Oh, that rubbery taste is really the plastic bottle someone threw away instead of recycling it.
What does this have to do with Tupperware?
Do you really need to ask? Reusable products that were never designed with recycle labels on them because they weren’t meant to be thrown away.
Tupperware was, once again, revolutionary becuase it has always been about reducing garbge (don’t throw away your “to go” mug, do you?), reusing (hello, every product Tupperware makes) and recycling (if you do get a warranty item, put a BIG permanent marker X on the bottom and recycle it).
Why X it out? That way if someone finds it along the way they can’t take it to another Tupperware consultant for warranty. If we are consistent and all do that, then we’ll all know the sign of an already warrantied Tupperware product.
The more Tupperware we teach people how to use the less plastic ends up in the ocean, or on our dinner tables.
Teach people about this with your demonstrations and help do your part to stop this toxic explosion.
Are you walking through the dark, searching an empty, hollow, spooky place, looking for…
a Tupperware party? Have you thought about a using a secret; a secret you might already know about? Shh, can you hear it?
It’s a Mystery… A Mystery Hostess Party.
You do the party, you invite the guests, you give away the host credit (the mystery!! all to one guest, or split it up – what I recommend), you get all of the datings, and you get all of the money.
Who should you invite? How about friends, family, acquaintances, neighbors, past hosts, past guests that don’t want to hold their own party (especially if they were big spenders).
Here is the key though, encourage each person you invite to bring at least one person you don’t know. Offer tickets, or prizes, or gifts, or whatever…
And the more people they bring the more stuff they get.
Your goal from this party should not be sales, it should be bookings. Go into the party telling yourself, “I’m going to get at least 3 bookings from my party tonight” and you’ll be surprised how that one little mindset change makes a big difference.
Focus on talking about the Tupperware Canada hostess program.
Do you know what it is? If you do, are you using it? Just in case you forget here is a refresher:
Party sales of $300-$549 get your host 10% or $30-$55 host credit and one ½ price item. Party sales of $550-$1099 get your host 15% or $83-$165 host credit and two ½ price items. Party sales of $1100 + get your host 20% or $220 + host credit and three ½ price items.
The average Tupperware party has $550 in sales. So the average is $83 in free Tupperware, two ½ price items, the thank you gift item from the catalog and the dating gift, all from Tupperware with nothing coming out of your pocket.
But you aren’t just average, are you? Especially not at your own party where you are spoiling your own guests with free and half price Tupperware, where you are going to start filling your date book and therefore start making lots of money. Of course not. Now, turn on the lights, get out of that dark, mysterious place and schedule your Myster Hostess Night.
Watch for future posts on how to use the Tupperware Canada hostess program. Words to say, how to say them, when to say them, all coming soon.
Are you focusing on what you, the Tupperware consultant, get from a party (money, more parties, and recruits) instead of what a Tupperware party gives your hostess? Is that the big reason you are struggling to get more parties into your date book.
I know people who are still saying, “Mary, would you do me a favor and have a Tupperware party?” Mary gets that deer in the headlights look. You know, that what do I do? how do I get away? look.
If Mary can bear to look at the person who asked she sees a pathetic Tupperware consultant, shuffling their feet, not wanting to make eye contact. Mary says ok because she’s a good friend, or because you looked so pathetic she couldn’t leave you standing there like that.
Now Mary gets two or three people together a month from now and she gets a Tupperware consultant showing up at her door who really doesn’t want to do this business anymore because it’s too hard and no one wants Tupperware anyway.
But you got this pity booking, so you’ll haul you plastic bowls to Mary’s house and have a bomb of a party, proving to yourself that you can’t do it.
So, if this is what you’re doing…
Stop asking people to “do you a favor and have a party.” You are not asking them to change a child’s dirty diaper. You are offering a chance to get an amazing product, with a lifetime warranty, for free and half price. You are offering them a chance to get together with their friends and family for a night of fun, visiting and discount shopping in the comfort of their own home.
You are offering them a chance to share those same benefits with their friends and family. You are offering them a chance to see how they could change their lives by working for themselves, making what they want, when they want from where they want.
You are offering them an opportunity to have a Tupperware Party.
Are you offering this win, win situation to hostesses with these things in mind?
When your focus shifts to what a Tupperware party can do for the people you are offering it to your entire mindset shifts too. You start to think that you can book parties instead of that you can’t do it.
You start to think about how great it is to be a host and then you start to think about all the people in your life who deserve what you have to offer.
Your mind shifts to a place of positive thinking and then your actions shift because it becomes easy to offer the amazing win, win hostess opportunity to people.
Stop thinking about what a party does for you and start thinking about what it does for the people you offer it to.

Your Tupperware business gives you the power to change. Has your heart ever been broken by leaving your child at home with a sitter or at daycare?
Change it…
You think it hurts now, but how is it going to feel in 10 or 15 years when you can’t do anything about it? You have the power to change it now. Tupperware can help you change it before it’s too late.
Families are searching for more ways to create reliable, stable incomes without sacrificing quality of life, without sacrificing time with their children. In fact, the number one resolution this new year was “getting out of debt”, surpassing “weight loss” for the first time ever.
Your Tupperware business can be the vehicle for the change. You’ll have the power in your hands. You don’t have to have that heart break every morning anymore. No more daycare, no more juggling everything when somebody is sick, no more heart break before your work day even starts.
Tupperware can give you the freedom to work around your family, to have the time to be home to take care of your kids. To be the kid’s coach or even to make it to every game or play or recital or…
Make the hurt go away by building your Tupperware team
because that is where the money is in Tupperware. Building your team can give your family the time together that it deserves.
Stop letting your kids grow up without you.
Start building your team. Learn the secrets that good recruiters know by filling out the form to the right.
Just yesterday I was so focused on how negative my Tupperware team has been lately. All they think about is sales and how many recruits we have (or don’t have).
So what did I do about it?
I went to my team meeting.
Yep, that’s right. Most people would ty to avoid those negative nellies and wallow in their own self-pity. Not me, I still went to my team meeting. I was ready to throw in the towel, to give up Tupperware, something I love. It didn’t seem like the fit for me anymore. Guess what happened?
We got to the recognition part of the meeting and my director told us to stop selling products and stop worrying about recruiting.
Ahhh, how refreshing!
Wait, she said what??
That’s right, STOP selling products and STOP worrying about recruiting.
Has she gone totally crazy? I could see the thought going around the room, but all that I could think was…
A leader that says to stop doing all the wrong things. A team that is headed in the right direction again. Yippee!!
See, we lost sight of what we are really about. Tupperware is about providing solutions for people. We are about keeping waste out of the landfills and money in people’s pockets. We are about empowering women and having fun sharing what we love.
Tupperware has so many solutions to offer people. We have great products, great opportunities, and most importantly, great people.
So why be part of a Tupperware team?
Because you just might remember why you loved Tupperware in the first place, and you just might help others remember it too.

Do you get the feeling that your upline has no idea who you are as a Tupperware consultant? The only time someone remember your name when you’ve had a fantastic month or when they need help reaching their sales goals? Tired of being the consistent one in the background, every month plugging away, building and following all their tips, just to be forgot about until they need something done?
Me too!!
There should be some way for your uplines to remember that you have a name, even when you don’t sell a ton of Tupperware in a month. Many, many people come into this business to do it part time and those people are never recognized for their success. If this is you, you never get to be in the spot light, you never get the big rewards, but you are still working and you are still important.
You are the Tupperware Consultant
You are the backbone to the entire team plan. You are the “go to” person whenever the mundane needs to be done. If that mundane stuff doesn’t happen, uplines don’t happen. The entire system falls apart.
You are valued! Even if you aren’t recognized. Remember that you do matter. I may or may not be your upline, but let me tell you that you deserve to be remembered. We are all connected in this business and we need to be remembered for it.
Your Tupperware Upline Should Remember That Every Piece of the Puzzle Has to be in Place Before They Get a Beautiful Picture.
But remember, that is their beautiful picture, not necessarily yours.
You need to stop worrying so much about your upline and what they want and what they recognize for. You have your own business, you are the boss. You set your own standards. What do you want to achieve with your business? Decide how to recognize yourself when you reach your own goals. Put your own systems into place, if I do…, then I’ll… .
If I have 2 parties this month I’ll buy myself those new shoes, or I’ll take my kids swimming on Sunday afternoon, or whatever. You work for yourself, not for your upline.
Don’t discount your upline completly becuase they have experienced so much, but remember that they are not your boss, they are your advisor. You are in charge!!
You can become the upline. Check out the recruiting tips to the right.
Let me know what you think. Leave a comment.
Here is a video that made me proud(er) to be a Tupperware Lady! It is worth watching if you are already involved in Tupperware, if you are looking to get involved, or if you use Tupperware.
What a great thing to be a part of!!
Tupperware’s Sustainability Story – YouTube.
It could be argued that without Brownie Wise, the Tupperware Party Queen, there would be no Tupperware.
I was searching the internet for Tupperware blogs and came across this one by Alana Cash. It talks about Brownie Wise and Earl Tupper and it is a great story.
We should all know where we came from. Do you know the story of Brownie and Earl? Check out the blog for the quick version of the Tupperware story.
Brownie started her Tupperware party business based on the same reasons many of us join today:
A useful product, a chance to own our own business, partying (ie, eating, drinking, socializing) for a living, flexibility to be with our families, and of course money. These things have survived the last 65 years, but unfortunatly so has something else. Brownie built someone else’s business and lost out in the end.
Your Tupperware business is YOUR business. Build your business in a way that you are comfortable with and you won’t be hurt in the end. Work hard for yourself so you don’t end up as the modern Brownie Wise.
Action in Tupperware = money, money, money, money, money! The beginning of “The Celebrity Apprentice” has been running through my head for the past 7 hours.
What does this have to do with Tupperware? Well, I’ve been making money, money, money, money, money! Have you?
You deserve to be making money too! I’ve found a great formula for this on Ty Tribble’s blog.
Don’t let the algebra scare you away as this formula can be put directly into your own Tupperware business.
(Skills + Leads) x Action = Success
This formula will lead to success in Tupperware. Read the blog to see what Ty thinks about each part of the equation, but here is how they relate to your Tupperware business.
What skills do you need for your Tupperware business? Selling, marketing, leading.
What leads do you need for your Tupperware business? Parties, customers, team members.
What action do you need? Any action is better than no action. They key here is that you need to get off your butt and do something, anything, if you want to be successful.
You can learn the skills and leads part of this equation, you can rely on others to teach you those things. But the action part is up to you. You can have all the skills in the world, but if you don’t put them into action you will never see the success.
So go for the money, money, money, money, money! Want more info on how to do that? email me: amandaswedberg@yahoo.ca
A simple Thank You can make all the difference in keeping Tupperware parties booked. 
Just think about it, have you ever hosted a party? Did the representative of whatever you hosted, say, Tupperware, tell you thank you at your party? Probably.
Did they tell you thank you when you booked the party? Probably.
Did they tell you thank you between the booking and the party when no one was looking? Uh…
Did they tell you thank you after the party was all over? Hmm…
A Simple Thank You Keeps Tupperware Parties Booked
A small thing that means so much to Tupperware consultants success is sending a thank you card or note in the mail after the booking. See Are You Tired of Fake Bookings?, in Karen Phelps’s blog for suggestions on what to put in the thank you.
Don’t you like to get mail that is not a bill? Doesn’t it makes you feel special?
Make your hostess feel special, because she is. If it wasn’t for her you would not have a business.
By sending a thank you after she books a party you can remind her of the date she booked, get the guest list if you do that, and it makes her feel amazing. Amazing feeling people are not likely to cancel or postpone a party.
Saying thank you with a card or note (left at the end of the party where your hostess can find it after you are gone) also makes her feel special. This leaves her feeling extraordinary and she is likely to tell others how great of a time she had partying with you, and lets face it, we need all the positive advertising we can get.
Tupperware parties cannot happen without host/hostesses so treat the ones you get like they are special and your business will continue to grow.
Like my article?
Have you ever wondered how to have a successful Tupperware party? If you are on the right Tupperware team you should have no doubt what to do to accomplish this. If you are not on a team yet, you deserve to get onto one that teaches you all the aspects that go with these tips.
Uh oh, still need some quick tips?
- Coach the hostess before the party
- Demonstrate the products
- Ask guests to do the talking
- Spoil your hostess
- Have Fun
What is a successful Tupperware party?
There are lots of statistics about the average party being $550 in sales (in Canada where I am) but you should never go into a party hoping for average. Go in with the belief that you will have at least $650 in sales and at least 2 bookings.
The way that you think about your party and what will happen there plays a huge role in how it goes.
Why at least $650 in sales?
- Because it qualifies your hostess for more specials (usually)
- Because it qualifies your hostess for more host credit (always)
- Because it is better than average
- Because two parties and your samples submitted in a month will get you a bonus from Tupperware
Why at least 2 bookings?
- Because your hostess qualifies for everything
- Because your job is easier if you get your next parties at parties
- Because your job is easier if you are consistent
So what should you do to have a successful Tupperware party? Have fun, coach and spoil your hostesses, get people talking, and think better than average.

Tupper
ware started the home party business, and now the question is being asked, is the Tupperware party dead? 65 years ago, when home parties started, the world was a different place. There were no computers, no internet, no facebook or twitter. So teaching people to do the same things they did to sell Tupperware in the 1960’s isn’t going to work anymore. Yet that seems to be what is happening on a lot of teams in the industry.
People are too busy to have a Tupperware party, or too busy to come to a party. People are working outside of the home more, often with more than one job. Kids are running to hockey and soccer and music and dance and…and…and…
Does this mean that the Tupperware Party is dead?
Absolutely not, in fact good teams are reviving the party, corporate Tupperware is giving ideas out for different kinds of parties to hold, the consultant website even has a place to fill in your parties up. Parties are still the heart of our business.
People are busier than ever, and they want to get together and reconnect with the people they love. We need to focus more on the “fun” aspect of parties, get some friends together for a night out, take a break from your busy life.
Tupperware products are wonderful, but people can buy them online now, they don’t have to have a party to get them anymore so the focus of parties needs to change. It can’t be about the product alone anymore, it needs to be about the relationships with people that happen at a party.
And if you are the one doing the party, if you are the one who has been taught to do it the way it needs to be done in this age of technogy, you get all of those same benefits too!
Ever asked yourself the question, “Can I work from home as a Tupperware consultant?” 
YES, you can, if you are willing to put the work in. Working from home does not mean sitting around, waiting for someone to tell you what to do. It takes a new kind of discipline that many are not taught early on in life. It takes hard work, but it doesn’t have to be done alone.
The rewards for working for yourself are so much more than they are as an employee. As an employee you don’t have to get the skills to do anything else, as someone who works from home it is fundamental that you be willing to learn new skills.
The best way to do that? Work as a team. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel in order to work at home. In fact, if you try to, like I did in the beginning, you will spend all of your time spinning instead of making money.
And lets be realistic here, if you’re not making money as a Tupperware consultant why would you keep trying to work from home? If you’re not making money you’ll need to make a change, find someone who is willing to help you, find someone who knows what you need to learn in order to succeed.
There are thousands and thousands of people out there trying to make it, trying career opportunities from home, trying…, but how many are succeeding?
You deserve to get the best there is, you deserve to build your skill set so that you can succeed. Get the leverage and the knowledge and become a success!
How can you work from home if you don’t like your job? If you are truly interested in how to make money you need to first decide what you like. Maybe you like to bake, or to take photos, or to create things. Mayb
e you have a knack for putting colors together, or… whatever.
We all have things we like to do, and there are endless possibilities for at home career opportunties out there. You deserve to put the two things together. Maybe you like to help others, maybe you have a passion for teaching, maybe you want to make a difference in others lives. Maybe…
You owe it to yourself to choose the right fit.
