    my delivery driver last time had a puncture on way to work, he takes the van home with me, so he was an hour late for everyone. he was lovely and apologised.

    Have a few drinks for me please, love Baileys on ice. No drinking for me tonight. OH wasn't keen on me going out for a sign up last night and said he will never look after DS again in the evening while I go out, as he played up for him so much.

    what do you do you tell customers about moneymakers? i have ordered the moneymaker anew reversalist and just wondered how everyone else told there customers about it?


    I did the Absythe as my 1st ever money maker. I bought 6 bottles. Sold 2 and kept 1 for myself. Anything left is going straight back to avoid charging. The 2 bottles I sold just paid for my 1 I had :rotfl:

    This time I have bought the ANEW cream I am being sent 6 of them. I don't know if they'll sell, my customers aren't big face cream fans, but it's worth a shot. I put them on ebay as well to see if i can sell any extra. (didn't with the Absynthe!!!)

    Oh no I've only just realised that it's friday 13th :eek: these days never agree with me, something ALWAYS goes wrong!!! Not good.

  • ive had a fun and wet morning...fun bit not...wet bit very lol

    i used to canvass a street before i hada 3 month break and when checked with ASM she said that was still available no one canvassing so i thought bargain i'll recanvass see what happens.
    well i go to collect my books today and find someone else collect THEIR books...so i ask her how come and she said something about her living on the next close and doing that one so she assumed this one was part of teh round too (wrongly of course) she did apologise and say she wouldnt drop again..but that she has 2 orders and she WILL be delivering those then give the customer the choice whether they would deal with her or me...i was not impressed as in theory they shouldve been my customers....if she hadnt ahve dropped her books (where she wasnt supposed to) i wouldve potentially had 2 orders and they are probably from the people who ordered before...and thats why i didnt get orders from them this time :(
    in the end i told her to take the road as last time i only had the 2 customers (whicih she now has) and all teh books i put out this time all ticked the please dont deliver again..so i would be wasting my time dropping their anyways..plus its out of my way.
    but i was not happy!! lol...my own fault i suppose for taking a break!
  • also in smiths they are doing little foil table confetti things..that are fairies and look just like the avon fairies on the order forms...so if anyone was thinking of doing a free gift with xxx amount spent etc..they would look nice in the avon brochure bags with the lil fairies in...last time i used sparkly stars but next time i will use the fairies :)

    what a !!!!!!! some people are so selfish did you tell her that road was given to you? if ya did tell her your names down for it and no she wont be giving them customers a choice cos there isnt 1 and if she doesnt listen and askes them anyway then you canvass her street and offer her customers an offer they cannot refuse!!! see how she likes it :mad:

    One of my customers has asked if there is a Clearskin face scrub as she couldn't find it in the catalogue. Think I've found it (on the opposite page!) in Clearskin Professional, but does anybody know if it was originally in the Clearskin normal range and did they change it when they moved it into the professional range??
    If not I'll just tell them about it and offer the guarantee if they aren't happy with it. Its half price on the website (don't have C18 with me at the moment) so hoping its half price in C18 as well!!
