    Hi all

    Sorry I have a question again as a friend is about to hold a party (well 2 weeks) and is trying to work out prices from the books. Now we have 3 items we can't work out the new VAT price on and I thought you people over here might be able to help us. They are:
    Antique Brass Snuffer - Price £10.50 in the main book
    Aroma Simmers Fragrance - Price £9.95 in the main book
    Aroma Melts Sampler - Price £22.50 in the main book

    Anyone tell me what the prices would be with the new VAT so I can help her out?

    Hi All

    Needing a bit of moral support today. I'm on the slide again - wondering if it's all worth it as I still haven't got any bookings. I've got 2 sponsors starting soon, but how am I going to cope with them when I haven't even cleared my kit, let alone qualified myself? I asked some local shops to put up posters for me, but it didn't go too well - just 3 were interested. I've got a couple of friends who'll put posters up and I've got a table at a ladies' night on Friday, but I'm really wondering why I'm bothering?

    Hiya Liz, Im back again and a bit more refreshed...right, firstly dont give up, once you find a booking really push at the parties for more bookings. Where abouts are you? Ask Karen if she can find you a unit to join as a honourary member if possible, she did for me which means I can now go to their training which has made the world of difference, I went to another girls party last night and learned some tips there to. Its all extra help and advice which is fantastic. With your sponsers are they close to you, if they are really work closely with them to get them trained etc and help them in every way possible with there training and how to use the computer etc, you need to remain positive though, if you arent then they are going to see that and arent going to do aswell, they will be looking to you. Ive got two sponsers also and it has made me feel so much more confident and energised, I have given up my Betterware and am now aiming for Unit Leader, its a long way off but something to aim for! Dont give up!

    Thanks x

    Just finding it hard at the moment - don't know how I'm going to inspire my sponsors when I can't do things myself! Karen did put me in touch with someone local, but I haven't heard back from her since I returned her call last week. I'll try again tomorrow though. I think that's the hardest bit not having someone to talk to face-to-face.

    we have all been where you are - its very hard when you don't have contacts to help you get started.
    Make sure at your table top sale you do a candle survey as this will really help talking to people and will get new contacts.

    You also have 2 new sponsors which is fab - as you have only been in the business a short time - some girls who are now RVP took years before they sponsored.

    This is a business and with that you have to put time and effort into it before it starts paying out (I know this is not the case for everyone), you are putting the time and effort so it will eventually pay off.

    keep your chin up and look forward to seeing the cheerful and postive Liz on her way up!

    they usually send letter but think its middle or end of July - they usually give you letter of deadline which will probably come with Julys reflections.:j
