Contestant's Case to Win

"Will work for Chocolate" I'm kidding right? Nope! Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ is a home based, direct-selling business where an Independent Chocolatier will come to your home to do Chocolate Tasting Parties for hostesses and their friends. A Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ Chocolate Tasting Party! How awesome is that? The versatility of the chocolate tasting party is limitless. A chocolate tasting party can be a new twist on a tired networking event, bring new life to bachelorette & baby showers, put a spin on birthday parties for adults and kids, be a great office events, couples get-togethers, girls night out, fundraisers, or any social event. Indulge in the chocolate decadence of the truffle fudge brownies or dark chocolate fondue and learn how easy it is to create beautifully intoxicating dessert sensations in the comfort of your own home.

As an Independent Chocolatier, I have the distinct pleasure of sharing DOVE's premium line of chocolates products made exclusively for these chocolate tasting parties.

Why I feel I should be considered? In the area of YUMMIEST, DOVE is considered one of the best chocolate brands in the United States and boasts over $21 billion in sales. The products are truly amazing and versatile. For example, by taking a White Chocolate Frosty Smoothie mix and mixing it with a tub of cool whip, you suddently have a fantastic, delicious, low-cost and low-fat fruit dip, which can also be used in parfaits, trifles, or toppings to brownies.

On a personal note, his is my second job, but I give it 100%. I network and market not only for my business, but for other women-owned businesses and promote their businesses just as hard as I do mine. I believe in making things fun at my parties, easy for the hostesses, and enjoyable for the guests. I don't believe in pressured sales or pressured recruiting. My philosphy is that you need to do what you're passionate about. I love sharing what I do and the DOVE products, but if it's not for you, then it's not for you. I try to stay in touch with all my contacts and if they get into other ventures, I try to promote them as well. I believe I should be considered because I want to share creative new ways to entertain with yummy, delicious products like DOVE. Winning would also give me the opportunity to network and market on a grander scale for my business and others by meeting and championing other people and businesses, spreading the word about their fabulous products and services. We have to support each other if we ever hope to succeed.
