The Body Shop At Home (Hints and tips)

mon1o

Vicki no i havent got either of those games. I will pm you my email address and if possible could you send me them hun? It will be tomorrow when i send the pm.

Well, i went to my party, there were 6 guests, managed to get £133.50 in orders plus another order to come from someone who couldnt be there expected to be around £18 (ish). I got 2 party bookings and 2 potential recruits so im a very happy bunny! We started half an hour later than planned so i was only there 2 hours.

Im looking forward to my next party now on 22nd August! Bring it on!

Oh sounds good! Fingers crossed the recruits turn around to become recruits lol I've had loads of people dead keen but then they decide they can't afford the £95 so don't join! I want the make-up box before my 6 weeks is up lol.

Hi all,

You all seem to be enjoying the Body Shop experience. I've thought about joining many times before, but never had the courage to do it...

I'd really love some more info - start up fees / costs etc.. / minimum parties etc....

I'd be greatful if someone could get in touch to tell me more...

Thanks all.

Are men allowed to do the bodyshop at home or is it just women they take on? I've always thought I'd be good at it!

this might sound like a silly niggly question but I'd really like to know... How much do consultants have to pay for catalogues? can you get them cheaper if your sales have been over a certain ammount in a month? If that is supposed to be secret information only available to consultants (I'm wondering because I can't find it anywhere) then I'm sorry for asking, though I would be grateful if anyone can let me know either on here or by PM.
Thanks

It's a few years since I did TBSaH but I reckoned that by the time I had brought all the catalogues, invites, bags, hostess gifts, kept up with the latest samples and taken into account petrol and postage I had earned no more than 15%.

I also have 3 boxes of products and samples sitting upstairs as I haven't worked out the best way to get rid of them without giving them away for practically nothing.

I can't remember the figures now but found that I never earned anywhere near the amount of sales that was suggested could be achieved from each party and the hardest bit was booking the next party.

Having said that, I think that I live in a difficult area for party plan as I've spoken to lots of others doing similar and they generally found the same.

I did it to get out as much as to make money and really enjoyed the parties.

Don't know whether anyone else has mentioned this but my biggest tip would be to get some cellophane (try your local florist wholesaler) so that you can wrap up any boxed gifts you may be promoting. Testing can be done from you standard sized samples. My first Xmas, I had all my boxed gift samples wrecked even though I asked that they weren't opened.

You must have had a poop manager then as mine has told me not to buy anything, sample wise as she lends me it all until i win it. Im finding that it's dead easy to get parties booked in and iam making money out of it.

Yes men can do the bodyshop, always looking for fellas!!

My manager resigned 2 weeks after recruiting me so I didn't have a manager half the time or they changed every month or were 2 hours drive away.....

I am trying to borrow the £95 I need to join....I'd love to do this!!
