I joined SU, about a year and a half ago -- not to make money, as i have a business already, don't need or want another! LOL, But more for the discount. They are a great co. to deal with - lots of demo bonuses, and i made my first 3 mo. goal when i joined and was able to get any 2 stamp sets in the catty for free! OF course i chose the two 39.95 alphabet sets! LOL
Anyway - i am in need of reaching my quarter now by march.. and deciding if i still want "in" or not........ I love their stuff, but am trying to cut back on buying / spending too much this yr, as we have 3 trips planned..
Good luck with your decision.. Can't help with the CM part - as that is not really my style, but i know also, they have a much higher quarterly goal you have to reach, and IMO the market seems saturated with CM consultants.
