IT was great to read about Cheshire mum Mandy Philpott who quit her job to treble her pay selling items from The Body Shop.

She worked long hours in a pressurised role for a logistics company and wanted to spend more time with her husband and children. She went to a Body Shop party at a friend’s, thought “I could do that”, and quit her day job.

She’s been phenomenally successful since and she and her family are enjoying the rewards. More and more women especially are turning to this kind of multi-level marketing for new careers, and it works.
