Government Statistics State that: 72% of consumers want VALUE with their purchase and are willing to pay more money for it. We offer the most VALUE in the industry and our birds are still competitively priced This is one of the most important reasons we, as Parrot Place locations, have sold so many birds over the years.

 

What are Your Options if You Want to Have
a Business Working with Parrots?

YOU COULD TRY TO BREED THEM:

To earn an income equal to a Parrot Place location you would need to invest about $25,000. Where do you get your breeders from? Where will you set them up? Do you know enough about it? Can you work around the clock? Do you have help? Have you thought about security from weather and theft? What if your birds don't produce or even die? You still have to sell the babies.

Many of our locations bred birds before they joined. Since 1989, very few of them continued to breed after joining. It was their choice. Their reason, LIFESTYLE: Breeding birds was too much work, investment and risk.

YOU COULD TRY TO OPEN A BIRD STORE:

Major investment in time and money. Where do you get you quantities of birds? You'll have fixed hours, you have to be there. You'll have to sell the birds. At least three times as many as you would have to sell working at home to make the same income. Your investment is at risk.

YOU COULD TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN:

To buy birds on your own and try to re-sell them could cost you more money than joining and I'll tell you why it won't work.

 

YOU COULD BECOME A PARROT PLACE LOCATION:

I am convinced that this is the only safe way you can have a bird business, still enjoy the birds and have a lifestyle others will envy. . You will own this business; the business will not own you.

 

Income and Taxes

INCOME:

In considering this business give careful thought to how much money you have to work with. How much money you WANT to earn? How much money you NEED to earn? When you call me with this information I will explain what you need to do to meet your goals.

In the meantime, consider this as a starting point.

Selling just four birds a month from your home will give you a net income of about $25,000 per year. Profit per sale can be $500 to as much as $1,000.

Other Sources of INCOME:

Behavioral work, cages, supplies, grooming, and boarding birds. Believe it or not, people will give you birds for free to work with and sell.

TAX SAVINGS:

Tax advantages are incredible. It's not how much you earn but how much you keep that's important. Legitimate deductions include, part of your home and utilities, your computer, TV, DVD player, camera, travel, mileage, bird supplies, cost of membership and much more.

 

Growth and Risk

GROWTH:

You can work this business at your own pace but it's hard to slow it down when you establish a reputation and receive referrals all the time. Your business may outgrow your house. Your options will be to keep your business small or you can add on to your home or move. You can open a store if you want or you can get others to sell birds for you.

RISK FREE:

• You have the tax savings.
• You don't have to leave your job or start full time.
• You have access to an unlimited use of reputible breeders.
• You have the ability to sell birds for the rest of your life.
• You will receive referral sales from me and others.
• You will never get stuck with birds you can't sell.
• You can relocate your business if you move.
• You can start and stop your business at will.
• You are learning from the success of others.

 

Do I Have the Knowledge, Experience and Desire
to Help Make You Successful? Can You Trust Me?

I am a:

• Functioning Parrot Place Location: I am not going to disappear.
• I have trained extensively with the previous National Director.
• Training facility: If needed, you can come to my home for hands on training.
• I am personally familiar with the breeders in this organization.
• Plus, you will have access to our Parrot Place Community online, which puts you in touch with other Parrot Place Locations throughout the Country, which gives you support at your fingertips 24/7.

Our National Director retired after 7 years of helping people start this business and chose ME to continue in her footsteps.  If she feels I have the knowledge, experience, and desire to do this shouldn't you?

My Success Depends on Making Others Successful: If I don't think you will be successful I will tell you, because once you join, my reputation is in your hands.

Missing... Is the Personal Touch!!! When you purchase a business opportunity you are almost always buying a "get rich quick" scheme or a franchise from a corporation. Their success does not depend on making people successful. They sell to anyone and an employee is responsible to answer your questions and train you. Ask yourself: If the business is so great why don't their employees start their own? I PERSONALLY want to make this safe, affordable, enjoyable and profitable for all bird lovers.
