FAQ about becoming a demonstrator
Is there a minimum I have to maintain in sales?
To remain active as a demonstrator you need to maintain sales of $550 per quarter (3 months). Even if you sign up as a hobby demonstrator, this could easily be maintained by making occasional sales to your stampin’ friends in addition to your own purchases. Otherwise, you should find that one or two workshops per quarter will keep you actively maintaining your sales quota.

Do I have to do workshops?
Only if you want to! The choice is absolutely yours. If you never want to present a workshop, then you never have to, but if you would like to do workshops, then it’s entirely up to you the kind of workshop schedule you maintain.
