Q: Isn't this too complicated
for someone without an artistic background? But that's one of the best parts about this exciting new business. It doesn't require artistic ability to master the creative process, the actual design, the inlay work and the sculpting. If you can thread a needle, you can do it! Q: What is an Old World Carpet
Sculpture Craftsman...and can I be successful as one? If you have the entrepreneurial spirit, the determination and discipline to follow a proven business plan, and you want to be paid what you're really worth -- based on your performance -- you almost certainly will be a success. Q: Is this a franchise? However, CSG does sell Master Licenses and Regional Licenses to companies in foreign countries who are required to pay substantial Training & License fees plus royalties. Q: I've looked at another
company who charges less to teach carpet sculpting. Why should I pay
more money and get training at Carpet Sculpture Gallery? If you want to learn basic carpet inlay & sculpting,
using standard tools made by companies who manufacture tools for the
floor-covering industry, and you only want to service interior decorators
& carpet stores on a wholesale basis -- you are not a CSG candidate
to become a CSG Licensee!
You can make a decent living, but -- most likely -- you will not earn a six-figure income. You can contact one of the tool manufacturers who will teach you how to use their carpet sculpture equipment. (We can supply you with names & addresses.) Or - you can get training as a rug-manufacturer from an individual (not trained by CSG). You'll be taught in a warehouse or "studio" by a person who has his/her own carpet sculpture business and supplements his/her income by teaching others. You even get FREE marketing, which basically consists of… "Go to decorators & designers, they love you." End of FREE marketing.
... there are a number of craftspeople out there to learn from. Before you make a decision to select the right Carpet Sculpture Training, you need to know all the facts. Your financial future depends on it. The Small Business Administration (SBA) supplies one of the most important facts you should know: If you're the best craftsperson in your chosen field, that amounts to just fifteen percent (15%) of your success. The other eighty-five percent (85%) can only be achieved by state-of-the-art marketing. Carpet Sculpture Gallery® (CSG) in La Habra, CA provides the only Carpet Inlay & Sculpture Workshop that combines
These figures above are quoted by Jay Abraham, the most expensive marketing expert in the US. Jay charges up to $5,000 per hour for a personal consultation, and up to $50,000 and more for his seminars, where he teaches his new marketing strategies to Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurs from all over the world. Many of Jay Abraham's secrets have been incorporated into the CSG Marketing Course© and are only available to CSG Licensees. For more details about the CSG Advantage, click on the CSG System™ Versus Others section. Q: I've investigated other companies that charge $100,000 or more for a home-based business. Why do you charge so much less for your Carpet Sculpture Gallery System™? A: Although we invested half a million dollars to make our CSG System™ the "Rolls Royce" of the industry, we wanted to make our program affordable to entrepreneurs who don't have access to a lot of money. We strongly believe that our CSG System™ is the best Business Opportunity of the decade. What's even more important is that our CSG Licensees tell us so. Together with our CSG Marketing Course©... it's an unbeatable combination because it gives you the opportunity and potential to earn a six-figure income. Here's what Steve Henderson from Canada wrote to us recently: "Just a quick note that your Marketing Program is BRILLIANT! If associates simply want to learn the art in order to make rugs for family and friends, they won't need the marketing course. However, if they are serious about starting a business, THEY WILL NEED IT! Your 'back-end selling' idea alone is worth the price of the program. I firmly expect to achieve my first year goal of $100,000 in sales, and if I can follow my personal plan, doubling this in the second year will be possible...". Since the principals and most of our staff at CSG are Christians, we are dedicated to helping you become a success. Our reward is to see your business grow and prosper. And, if you're a go-getter, we may offer you joint ventures in the future which will be profitable to you and to CSG. Once you've made your mark, you can then give something back to the network.

This affiliation guarantees you all of the benefits listed below:
If you were going to take advantage of CSG's total program, your benefits would amount up to $4,005... or more per year! That's a pretty good return for an annual investment of only $900 - $1,200, isn't it? I'd like to get returns like this in the stock market. Q: Do I have to give up my present job? A: Not at all! You can operate out of your home in your spare time making a handsome "moonlighting" income. Or you can keep your present job until this new business is generating enough money so you won't miss your old paycheck. Q: I have no sales experience
-- where will I find customers? Homeowners are clamoring for custom area rugs. Decorators, carpet stores, hardwood, ceramic tile and marble distributors, architects, custom builders, home remodelers, restaurant owners, fine galleries ... are begging for carpet sculptors to work with. Yet there are so few qualified sculptors. Another giant market are the business offices in your area. Company presidents love having their logos incorporated into the carpets and rugs in their offices. And hotels have a great need for custom sculptured area rugs in their lobbies, expensive suites, as well as one-of-a-kind tapestries for their walls. To make it even more attractive, fiber optics in iridescent colors can be added to highlight details. In addition -- our newest Profit Center -- "How to inlay & sculpt custom designs into an existing wall-to-wall carpet" could add another $20,000 to $ 50,000... or more to your bottom line. This is an exclusive for CSG Licensees, taught at our 40 & 48-hour hands-on workshops. Q: How will this business
fare in difficult economic times? How many homes and businesses are in your area? Hundreds, thousands ... ? They could be your own little Profit Center. Q: What about cash flow? When the project is finished, you collect the balance, eliminating any collection problems. And once you have established your customer base, you can look forward to a continuous flow of income from repeat orders and word-of-mouth referrals from happy customers. Q: Why can't I learn this
business on my own? Another benefit -- available to CSG Licensees only -- is our CSG Marketing Course©. According to the Small Business Administration, proper marketing equals 85 % of your success! Our CSG Marketing Course© incorporates secrets of the "who's who" in marketing. You'll learn secrets from gurus like Jay Abraham, who charges up to $50,000 for one of his seminars; Gary Halbert, who personally sold billions of dollars of merchandise; and many other giants in the marketing industry. This marketing course could be worth up to $100,000 or more to you if you use it properly. Q: What about competition? And guess what? According to a survey conducted by the Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI), 95% of home and business owners are not aware that personalized carpet sculptures are available. Can you imagine how many sculptors will be needed once our beautiful craft will become known to the general public? Tens of thousands! Look in the Yellow Pages and see how many carpet sculptors you find! If you get in now, you will be on the ground floor of a fast growing business that is as lucrative as it is FUN!
