Curators receive a 25-40 percent commission on products sold from the individual online stores and gain access to exclusive discounts up to 50 percent depending on their performance. The cocoa exchange provides starter kits, which costs curators a $129. Within 1-2 parties, the curators can expect to recoup the cost of the starter kit. Curators provide free shipping on the items ordered and accompany ships directly, so that curators do not need to hold inventory. Additionally, as their sales grow, curators earn credits that they can then use to shop. Let's take a look at how the curators go to market. I love the fact that everywhere I go people are happy to see me because I'm the chocolate lady. The cocoa exchange embodies some of the best of over a 100 year history of Mars Incorporated. For the cocoa exchange is the secret ingredient in the kitchen and in life. Really fun about what we do is, that we take people offline for bringing them back together around the table, in the kitchen to play with food, experiment, and learn. We're the innovation engine of Mars Incorporated. We have a business in a box. The platform is been created. You just plug into it, bring your energy and passion, and the recipe for success is their. Cocoa exchange is a really amazing way for me to help families get together around the dinner table, trying something new, having more fun. Being part of the curator community means that your a part of something so much bigger than yourself. You are supported by other people in the company. You are trained by other people in the company. Knowing that Mars is our parent company, not only does it allow me to do my business with a level of confidence, but it takes away a lot of concerns. Over the past 7.5 years, the business has allowed me to put my family first. One of my very favorite things about the business is that, it's truly flexible. What's really powerful about the community and that you can plug into is that, there's a level of support, there's a level of compassion, there's a level of celebration for each other's successes. A partnership with Care is so powerful, so, as you are building of business here in the US, we're supporting the business here, but also supporting women in West Africa. This business is really fall of opportunities. All you need to do, is be ready to have fun and put some effort, and energy into it. We'll give you all the tools you need. It's chocolate, so, it's fun, and we know how to have a good time. Now, it's important to note a couple of things from that last video. The first is the sense of community that these individuals are tasked with creating. Bringing people together over food, experimentation, these are all aspects of their sales culture that one could argue is potentially addictive. The other thing is a sense of purpose. This happens in two ways. One, is the product education and helping others to learn how to make memorable moments, and expand their range of food preparation options at home. But also a sense that they are helping women, and individuals in developing countries. In other words, there is a greater social purpose in their selling efforts. It's important to understand when a direct sales channel makes sense and why Mars uses this approach over their conventional retail channels. Selling through retail channels makes a lot of sense when you've got large quantities of products that are backed by significant advertising and brand awareness campaigns. But really the competitive space for chocolate bars is so crowded. As affirm, do you really want the expense and effort of being yet another chocolate bar in this space? In contrast, the supply of cocoa exchange products are limited. Its real chocolate, not manufactured in mass quantities. The product is more than just chocolate bars. They are ingredients that can be incorporated into food preparation. However, this requires education, and education is not something that is easily delivered in a Super Bowl commercial, or any mass market commercial, or print advertisement for that matter. The company needs sales reps to demonstrate and educate customers. The product is also differentiated through social experience and marketed through personal networks. As we saw in the video, who's going to say no to chocolate? People with chocolate are welcomed at the door, and even in the busyness of today's life or during the COVID pandemic, people long for meaningful social experience of all types. These are the conditions in which a direct sales channel strategy really makes a lot of sense. Finally, you heard it said earlier that the company's responsibility is to motivate, coordinate, compensate, and supply the sales force. The company will provide training materials, product materials, and often support the delivery function. They also worked very hard at motivating them through distributor conferences. Sales consultants are very social individuals. You can imagine when they are co-located in one place, the company will work to unite them and emphasize the workplace culture that they desire. Let me show you a brief video of one such experience. The cocoa exchange business has limitless potential. I mean, it truly is unlimited. The Potential is unlimited. It is truly unlimited. Potential out of the cocoa exchange, the business right now, I mean, it's unlimited. We are just beginning. The potential with this business is limitless. You can go as high as you want to, as fast as you want to, and nothing to stop you.
