    hi guys i am awaiting a call from the area manager as to get number account number etc, and i have 7 bookings for parties i was wondering if any of you knew what the companys expectations are with regards to sales as as far as i was aware its a case of they will sign you up once you have your confirmed bookings, could anyone also be able to let me know what i can expect to find in my kit.
    also what themes you have done for parties i have printed off some door prize draw slips as a raffle for all party guests as this enables me to get more contact numbers etc. and i am offering the first four hosts to book and hold a party a free gift from me as a way of a thank you, and shall run this offer every month but any other ideas would be gratefully recieved.

    Wow, sounds like you've got stacks of ideas already! what is the door prize raffle?

    Do you have to pay for the kit upfront or do they take it out of commission?
    DEBT TOTAL: £7609.44

    You pay upfront, but they are running an offer at the moment where the pamper pack is only £10! Great time to join! x

    I sent an enquiry to them so am waiting to hear back from someone. I hope they don't phone when I'm at work. It's pay day Friday so hopefully I'll be able to get it then. I did some word of mouth research and so many people want a catalogue etc!

    Hey, I just lost my job so looking for some extra income while I look for another full time job.

    Thing is, I moved to Cardiff not too long back and don't really know many people, has anyone made a go of this without having family/friends parties? I'd be very nervous too!
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I have just seen this offer too. Currently do avon and phoenix but really fed up with avon. I would like to do just brochure drops though and not parties is that allowed? Also how much are brochures to buy and do you pay postage on deliveries? Also the body shop online have very good offers ie 30/40% off. Can a consultant compete with those offers? Sorry for all the questions can't find the answers on the body shop website? Thanks in advance for any replies :)

    I'm going to my training tonight but as far as I can gather you work however best suits you! BUT you do have to have had 4 parties (or opportunities) in the first 4 weeks. Basically 4 bulk orders that cover the actual cost of your kit. You can host your own party (i.e just invite your own friends and family) which is a great first party to get some practice in!

    With regards to the discounts, I think you get the stuff slightly cheaper and a personal 25% discount.

    People have made a career out of it so I'm hopeful! Feel free to Private Message me and questions and I'll do my best to find out the answers!

    Oooo if you do decide to join, dont go through the website, go through someone who is already a consultant (like ME!!!!;)) as you get started a bit quicker!.

    There's so much support it's really great!
