We suspect hubby may be wearing them in some sort of sex game, wife tells me he filled out the order form when she went to collect the book yesterday, unless there is another explination i dunno how you can get through over 50 bras in a year :eek:

might be selling them on ebay....

Mine got off to a VERY slow start (only £36 after collecting my first, and biggest brochure drop), but then picked up. My final total, including books etc. was £553 which puts me into PC for the first time

Mind you, I'm not exactly jumping up and down at the prospect. I had a look at their forum and it's very dull after this one. I may save 59p (ish) and get 15 more brochures though - whoopee!!!

Congratulations Elliebee! Am aiming for PC too - will be a while yet though as I've only done four campaigns so far! :rotfl:Maybe we can jig them up when a few more of us attain those 'dizzy heights'.....

Thought there were supposed to be 'big benefits' from PC - cheaper offers, etc?

50 bras a year ? the mind boggles

I have just taken the plunge and asked my asm for some more territory , I sent her a text as she told me that was the best way to get in touch and as i am seeing her tomorrow hopefully I will get a response.

Can't remember everything that was in the Xmas bargain pack, but we ordered 3 hoping that there may be some stuff in for xmas pressies for my customers, but we ended up returning them. The Thomas book was in all three of them. There were some earrings in a Christmas box - think it was the reindeer shaped gift box, there were some dip dishes, and a couple of other things that I can't remember!

Hope this is of some help!

Thanks, pugsley; so looks like they do all contain the same items i.e. by campaign. Am obviously behind you (just received my c17 goods) but will post up the exact contents of the Christmas Bargain Bag in C16 when it arrives in case it helps anyone else. Seem to recall feeling something soft in there too - a red patterned scarf maybe? No matter, time will tell.

Have ordered one as an extra as my customer was really disappointed for the TtTEb to be OOS. The call centre told me it would cost me £2.50 for delivery and I wouldn't get any commission (I did contradict her on that one but not sure whether the email re. getting commission on additional orders from c17 onwards up to Christmas will also apply to back orders i.e. I ordered it as part of my C17 order but was actually in c16). She'll be really chuffed provided it arrives before her grandson's birthday - keeping my fingers crossed! What price good customer service, eh? :rotfl:

Jane, always worth trying the 'introduce a new customer and get a gift' route if you're looking for more customers. I've been lucky in that people have introduced new customers without expecting anything but have since given them a gift anyway.

Possibly stuff suitable for Christmas gifts rather than Christmas stuff per se but, as said, I'll post up the exact contents when it arrives.

Not really had time to post recently, trying to build a team:rolleyes:

C17 looks good so far, have nearly £700 in orders and still several regulars missing that do normally place big orders - still have 5 days to go so fingers crossed I can match last camps £1043 Hopefully also should get at least 5 of my team ordering for the first time so some extra comission there for me

Going out with ASM again tomorrow to try and find a few more reps - looking forward to that.

I will be missing C1 and C2 as will be away on hols, only come back 3 days before C3 ends so that will be a mad three days with jetlag to overcome and all regulars to visit:o

I know its early days for me but i tried offering a free gift if they shared their book with a freinds and placed two orders over £15 ,I didn't even care if they just filled in two order forms for theirselves if it meant bigger orders but nobody did ... not even the one lady who placed a £30 order :rotfl:

Hi I'd check how many performance points you have, as if you don't place an order and you don't have enough points then you won't get paid on your teams sales even if at least 5 of them place. Could be worth you ordering some bits just to get your earnings - even if it's stuff you send back after a few campaigns.
