How to sign up
Becoming a Norwex consultant, step by step.
Find a Consultant to join under
The agreement asks for your Team Builder's name and Consultant number. Ask the person who introduced you, or find one in our Norwex directory.
Choose your kit
Pick the free-if-you-qualify Join Kit Plus ($1,500 in 45 days, or $250) or the $125 kit with no sales goal. Be honest about how fast you can sell.
Sign the Consultant agreement
You must be 18 or older. The agreement runs one year and renews on its own. You can end it at any time in writing.
Give your tax details
The US application asks for your Social Security number, or a federal tax ID if you run the business as a company. Norwex does not withhold tax from commissions.
Decide on Office Suite
New Consultants get a free three-month trial of Office Suite, which includes your own shopping website. It then costs $9.99 a month plus tax unless you opt out.
Plan your launch parties
The application asks for two launch event dates. Book your first parties right away so your 45-day clock works for you.
How you earn
The pay plan, in brief.
Every Consultant keeps 35% of their personal retail sales, with no team needed. Team pay starts at Team Coordinator, with 3% on your personal recruits' sales, and grows to 5% on group sales from Sales Leader up. Each title has its own monthly sales and team minimums. In Norwex's 2022 US income disclosure, the average total reported income for US Consultants was $915 a year, before expenses.
Full details, pros and cons are on the Norwex profile. Before you join, ask for the company’s current compensation plan and income disclosure.
