New Series: FAQ's

I've been trying to come up with a series to replace the Top 5 Food Storage Tips for Newbies series I was doing on Mondays.

At the same time, I've been getting regular questions (usually by email) about me, Shelf Reliance, Thrive food, 72 hr kits, water storage, the Q, becoming a consultant etc.

So I've decided to make Monday's my FAQ day.  I will respond to emails I get directly, but I will also post the answers here each Monday evening.

I thought I'd start with a roundup of some popular FAQs I've already answered on this blog:



How Healthy is Freeze Dried Produce?


What are Your Favorite Thrive Food Products?

What is the Difference Between Freeze Dried and Dehydrated Foods?

What is the Difference Between Thrive Instant Milk and Powdered Milk?


What is the Difference Between Red Wheat and White Wheat?


What is the Thrive Q?

And here are a few from questions from last week:

Can you ship to Canada?
Bad news first: I can't currently ship to Canada.  Shelf Reliance cannot yet legally sell through the direct selling model (which is how I sell as an independent consultant).

Good news: I should be able to sell / ship there soon.  Shelf Reliance is working with the Canadian government to make this happen. I have a growing list of customers in the same position you are...just waiting.  I would be happy to add you to that list and let you know as soon as I can sell there. 

In the meantime, you can purchase Thrive through the retail model in Canada, it will just cost more.  Wade and Sandi Pierson from "In case of" are the exclusive Shelf Reliance distributors in Canada.  They are incredible people and are actually working very hard to help bring the direct selling model to Canada so everyone there can eventually get Thrive for less.  You can visit their website here if you are interested in purchasing that way.


If I decide to become a Shelf Reliance Consultant and sell Shelf Reliance, what sort of support do you offer if I choose you as my trainer ?

• I offer a private training website with training videos, pictorials, downloads, helpful phone #s etc.  I update this site 1-3 times / week as needed.
• I have 5-10 times slots available each week for one-on-one trainings by phone and/or online webinar (you can see my screen) on any topic you choose.
• A weekly training newsletter.
• I offer a monthly conference call for all consultants on my team so we can all learn from each other
• I have monthly promotions to reward and motivate the top members of my team.
• A video training course (to be completed by Christmas) on successful blogging and online sales techniques.
