First let me start by saying that I am not a Clever Container Consultant and I am not being paid by the company to provide this Clever Container Review. I do so to help anyone that may be looking at The Clever Container as a possible business opportunity. Â Hopefully after reading this review you will be able to make an educated decision about The Clever Container and know whether they are a company that you want to partner with and become an Independent Clever Container Consultant.
For those of you that are worried about joining a company that you know very little about, let me answer a question that you may be wondering about:
Is The Clever Container A Scam?
Well let’s look at the definition of the word “SCAMâ€
– a swindle or fraud; esp. a CONFIDENCE GAME or
– a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle.
The Clever Container is NOT A SCAM according to either of the above. They are a legitimate company and a member of the Direct Selling Association and have been since 2006, and became a full member in 2008. They offer products to the consumer at a price set by the company. If the consumer does not want to pay the price set by the company they are free to shop at another vendor.
Clever Container Background:
The Clever Container got its start as “Contain Yourself†which was the brainchild of Founder Karen Eschebach. Karen got the idea while attending a party of another Direct Sales company in July 2006 and realizing that there was nothing available for organizing. Like everyone that starts a new business, Karen had her doubts especially after attending a Direct Selling Association event and comparing herself to the successful entrepreneurs there. However, Karen was determined and pushed forward. If was after this even that Karen’s business partner decided that it was not the time for her and the two went their separate ways. It was then that Karen approached another friend and stay-at-home mom, Jennifer Weaver, and the partnership was born.
Clever Container Products:
Clever container is committed to providing top quality and unique products for organizing your kitchen, car, closets, drawers, children, storage, office, and many more area of your life that needs organizing. They have a 25 page catalog devoted to providing products for organizing the areas named above as well as an “off the floor line,†an “office and electronics line,†an “off the door line,†and a “travel line†of products.

Clever Container offers its consultants three ways to get paid:
- Selling Products – by selling products at the retail price you can earn a base 20 percent commission. When your Career Personal Sales reaches $1000, you get a raise to a 25 percent base commission with up to an additional 8 percent a month depending upon your monthly sales volume.

This is by far the best and most thorough review of Clever Container that I have come across. I have been involved in other direct sales companies and have not found myself chasing friends and family…yet. There is a lot of interest in this opportunity by folks who are professional organizers, interior designers and child care professionals as a supplemental line of income.
