The Body Shop At Home (Hints and tips)

elliep_2

I still don't remember all the prices but so far nobody has shown any hint of minding when I say 'hmm, I'll just look that up for you, there are so many prices to remember!'

My tip would be to familiarise yourself with the catalogue. Know what order the pages come in. are the body butters and body collections before or after the baby page? where is the peppermint foot stuff in relation to the hair stuff? etc etc. If you can manage to learn page numbers then even better but roughly what order it all comes in will really help.

Thanks elliep I have will sit and swot up, just have this evening as I work tomorrow and Tuesday and a school meeting tomorrow evening, busy time of year. But I dont mind I love it all really, fancy dress made for children in need up till early hours on Thurs night.

Hi Moonflower

I met Deb on Wednesday am doing something with her tomorrow too! Top sales tips!

You wait until you hear me tell you about what happened on my first party... bet you'll feel less like a plonker!!

You'll get into the swing of it... the more you do the slicker they will become. We've all been there I've only been doing it just over 3 months now!

Lol i hope i will get better, im a bit worried im not cut out for this party business im a bit of a whimp lol, i dont think it helped that it was mainly my mum and sisters at the party.
I was a bit disapointed i didnt get to go to a party before i had 2 do mine, ive never been to a party b4, i was going to one with the lady that i signed up with but her party cancelled

Did you have training? xxx

I did 3 parties before my 'official training'. My AM was great & showed me a rough guide & gave me great notes to help me get thru. I had hosted a party so that helped to I guess!

What makes you think your a whimp & can't do this? Don't go on your first party.. make sure you give it a fair crack at the whip before throwing in the towel... its SO worth it but you are learning all the time its not a job you can just start doing it does take time.xx

ditzeeblonde,

i had my 1st party lastnite and i was shaking and everything and felt soo nervous but i got over that eventually i did think i had done badly wen i came out though until i put the order in and relieased i passed my 425 in my 1st party it boosts you , im a very very shy gurl and not got alot of confidence and i did it im sure u will be great at it, i went to a party be4 hand with another consultant so i cud see how it was done etc but u kinda do wot u think is best and it just comes and happens and ull end up havin your own way of doing things..... i avnt been to any training as yet but i have being soon hand massages and done a facial, im at my 1st training session on tuesday.

just remember u will find your own way of doing things and selling the products.

hope this encourages u abit more xx

moonflower, seriously hun i had an awful start! My first party i had a grand audience of 2 or 3 and sales of £97 (but my mum in law wanted to order something too which is why it was as high as that). Thankfully things have improved and my confidence is growing too. Like ditzee said, it takes time. Ive been doing this since the end of July and i truly love it but its something that does need working at. I envy people like my AM who are so natural at this job because im so not lol!

Keep at it, things will get easier and it will improve.

I agree that confidence comes with the more parties you do my initial nerves are still always there for the first 5 minutes or so but now once I am in the swing of things it just comes to me. I have found the DVD and the links to the conference which have some ideas for parties to be a great help in thinking about my party format etc.
