Does anyone have the dimensions of the bags?

Or advice on what its worth getting and what its not?

Most of my customers have ordered bottles of perfume, jewellery and bubble bath type of things so i thought maybe the large paper bags and mediums might be best?

Is it worth getting the carrier bags at all?

I got the medium carrier bags and they are lovely.
They hold a fair bit and look more professional.

Hi all,
I'm trying to increase my earnings (bit of a dismal campaign 16) and am wondering about doing SL, I've only been a rep for 2 campaigns though. My biggest question is how much time does it take to do well at, and how easy is it if you are a bit shy?
thanks
Vicki

Hi vicki,

The regular contributors of this board are new to sales leadership so we are probably not going to be able to answer that question, although I think stephsreps - if she is around I think she has been doing it much longer, so perhaps pm her. Otherwise my other suggestion is to do a free trial on flissys, which is the sales leader forum we are all registered on, its very helpful, you can purchase leads from there and you can get a really good answer to your question. I don't think being a bit shy will hold you back as everyone who has signed with me has been shy, so you shouldn't find it intimidating.

I stupidly forgot to order the carrier bags last time, but I intend to next time, I'm afraid I don't have the dimensions. I think it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of large bags in stock for all of those orders that don't fit into the large paper bags - of which I had 4 this time - so had to use my phoenix bags :rolleyes:

I ordered the medium paper bags last time, but I've ordered the large this time as I had a few customers with about 4 bags of stuff! They are lovely though, mind you, I delivered in torrential rain last time, so they were a bit soggy by the last customer!

Hope this helps:

Med. Carrier Bag - 34cm W x 43 cm H (to top of handle)
Lge " " 49 " x 50 " " " "

Paper bags are a bit more complicated as I'm not absolutely sure which sizes I have. Lge is 25 x 34cm though (& has gussetted sides)

PS Vicky - put your paper bags into a supermarket carrier bag (1 per customer), write details in marker pen on the outside & hey presto - no soggy bags or books ;-)

Hi guys,

I am going prospecting for the first time tomorrow (with my area manager) in our local shopping centre and just wondered if you fellow sales leaders have any advice, what is the best thing to say, best way to stop people? etc

Thanks

Thanks for that, can't believe I've never noticed that before!
