I was a bit worried about the sales too, but I got £104 for my starter show last night. 3 orders out of just 4 guests and 2 outside orders.

Try giving a catalogue to people who can't make it to the party or don't want to hold one themselves.

Maybe also try and get a friend or two to show them around as well (use people shamelessly :rotfl:!

That's great, well done!

I made my first sale today!!!:j I showed my friend the catalogue as she can't make my party and just because she came round for a coffee. I didn't expect her to buy anything. She hasn't given me the cash yet though so we'll see what happens.:rolleyes:

well done baxtergirl! Such a relief to get your kit cleared! I keep forgetting to ask my leader about qualifying - do I need to qualify within a set period of time?

Also I never received my summer catalogue with my reflections this month did anyone else receive it? Mine only arrived yesterday!

Well done on clearing your kit so quickly and best of luck for tonight! I have my starter show tonight oooh nervous!!!

I know I shouldn't take it so personally but I felt like my starter show was a complete disaster. In total I think I invited about 15 people. In the end I had 7 definites. However tonight, 3 cancelled within an hour of the party starting and 1 didn't even turn up (she lives opposite me and is a Body Shop consultant and I've done 2 parties for her as a favour).

Anyway 2 of my 3 guests bought stuff and I made a sale yesterday - not sure of the total but probably less than £100. One of my guests booked a party so I guess something good came out of it. I feel so embarrassed and unpopular though, what a knock to my self-confidence.:(

Give head office a call and they'll send you one!! I've had the flyers missing before and they've sent them after I called.

£100 is £100 and is a third of the way to clearing your kit. Will the girl who's a body shop consultant hold a party for you? It's worth a try. Don't be down on yourself. I did PartyLite for 7 months and then moved to a new area knowing no-one and I slogged away and am now busy - please persevere - you will get there - YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!

I might text the body shop girl but I can't help thinking that her not even turning up to my starter show, after she said she was definitely coming, is a good indication that she won't hold a party.

Maybe she doesn't want to buy anything but would hold a party especially if you've held a couple for her. I think it is cheeky of her not to turn up when you have helped her. Is there a possibility she feels threatened that people will buy from you and not want a body shop party as they can't afford both?

I agree £100 is £100 and at least you have another booking. My leader was saying to me when she started it took a few parties then she got this girl who booked a party and wanted the gold booking gift so she told her friends that they were having parties - anyway as a result of this one group and several years later this group of people regularly have parties for her!

I had my starter party 2 weeks ago and my booking from that isn't until mid april! I'm finding most people are saying no to the party and some are taking ages to give me a date so hoping to try and get them with the april offer.

It will get there it may take a few months but just try not to worry about it. i'm sure lots of people can share with you how difficult it is to build a client base. I'm giving out the catalogue to interested people who don't want parties so I can take individual orders on a monthly basis.
