My "manager" appeared on my doorstep saying that they werent putting my orders through because they weren't enough. They also weren't going to invest a starter kit in me if I couldn't give them sale (which btw I could! I had 2 other parties booked) So in other words sacked.

Cheeky - I have PM'd you

That's awful, Cheeky is my leader, she's really helpful. I got my starter kit from her in time for my starter party and it took me 2 months to make my £300. All she did was help me, not have a go at me. I hope your manager reads this and is ashamed of themselves.

Booking necklace looks like a great idea, I'll have to try it at my next party. Anybody got any ideas for games other than the Island game?

Just wondered if anyone knows if mi idea would be ok to do. I am thinking of hiring a hall for the evening and advertise a candle party in my local 'town crier' is this ok to do?

Thanks

Sorry, this is a bit of a whinge!

I'm seriously considering giving up - all I'm doing is spending money and not getting bookings. TBH I think I've lost faith in the products and I can't justify to people why they cost what they do. Everyone I've spoken to just says they're too busy and don't want the hassle of parties, and frankly neither do I anymore.

Very fed up.

I'm sorry you feel this way Liz . PartyLite is like a roller coaster , and i'm sure the others will agree . One min you are up ( for example getting bookings or meeting a personal goal ) and the next min your down ( partys getting cancelled and people saying no to parties) . The reality is that it is very hard work and for every 10 dissapointments there can sometimes only be a few success's . When we first started this business I remember we had 12 parties booked into Jan 2008 and the previous three months had been a struggle . Every one of those partys cancelled , and it would have been so easy to give up . In February we decided to relaunch the business and it payed off . Having said that each week there can be several "downs" e.g parties cancelled even now . We just accept that it is part of the business. We commited to working on the business every day . A bit like a game of golf really , the more shots you play , the more likely you are to get a hole in one . Remember you never fail at somthing unless you give up .
Can i suggest you write down a list of things that are holding you back and work out ways to tackle those first . The products are great , after all you liked them enough to join as a consultant , and many many other people will feel the same way ( just not the people you have spoken to )

You are the ticket ....Hostess's buy people , not just the products , after all they will be inviting you into their home to sell . Try and remain positive and 100% behind the product , and remember you are doing the hostess a favour by offering them the chance to get free product . They arn't doing you a favour . If you come accross as desperate they wont book .
Get yourself a diary and fill it in with names and tell them you are so snowed under you might not be able to fit them in if they don't book and they will miss out ( you will be amazed at what difference that makes )
Surround yourself with positive people . Maybe come to one of the meetings in Gloucester and be energised ( if you need transport I can help you with that) , and shrug off all those negative comments about it never going to make you money ( unfortunately partners can be the worst offenders!!!) . Set yourself a goal and go for it!!!

This is excellant advice!! I was finding it stressful the other day, I work full time, am finishing my degree part time and doing Partylite amongst many other things, but I rang a colleague/friend had a whinge and was then fine, I find I sometimes just need to get things off my chest and have a whinge, from going to local meetings I have had the opportunity to do that. It also gives you the chance to bounce ideas of one another which is fantastic.

Partylite is like a rollercoaster, you just have to be positive and it will get better. I am on a Partylite high right now and things are all starting to click into place. Plus I won loads on the raffle at some training on Saturday!!! And I got some fantastic ideas to do! Yey....tomorrow I need to write my to do list and do them.
