Wines for Humanity was founded in 2007 with a mission to help prevent homelessness in America. Wines for Humanity Advisors (independent contractors) promote exclusive wines at private wine tastings, corporate events and charity events, and a portion of the proceeds from every tasting are donated to a local charity benefiting the homeless. As of Dec. 2011, WFH has raised more than $1 million for charity.
You can be a successful Wine Advisor without prior wine experience. Education, videos, and tasting notes are provided for each wine offered and you will work with a mentor initially. Wines for Humanity looks for individuals who are self-starters, personable, professional and interested in making a difference while earning extra income. If you have the drive and interest in building a business, a genuine heart for people and an interest in wine, it is probably a good fit.
What type of investment is required to get started as a Wine Advisor?
Wines for Humanity offers a starter kit that each new wine Advisor purchases for $150, however there is no initial cost to get started. Before the Wine Advisor is charged for the kit and before it is shipped, the Advisor will complete their initial training. The kit contains corkscrew, 18 crystal tasting glasses, and marketing materials (all valued at $350). The kits are extremely reasonable and amount to a very small investment for this fantastic business opportunity. You can also earn a $50 rebate if you complete your initial training within 3 weeks!
What kind of time commitment is required of Wines for Humanity Advisors?
It really depends on the individual Advisor and how much you want to work. The wine tastings are usually in the evenings and on the weekends. We have 3 types of Advisors:
-Hobbyist -- Becomes a Wine Advisor because of the love of wine, wants to earn a discount on wine, has a desire to meet others, and wants to earn a little extra income, or give to charity. These Advisors are usually people who work full time in other jobs or are leading busy lifestyles. They will do the minimum requirement of 2 tastings per month.
-Part Time -- Typically conducts at least one or two wine tastings per week. Stay at home moms and dads often fall into this category, as do those who are employed full time
- Full Time/Career --These Wine Advisors can see that there is an incredible business opportunity in Wines for Humanity and decide to pursue it. This category comprises stay at home moms and dads, those who are looking for a career change, those who are newly unemployed, retirees, and people who love wine and have always wanted to be in the wine business. They typically present two tastings per week and train and lead a team of Advisors.
