Phoenix traders - what is your most successful selling technique?

We had no post today so will have to wait til Monday The stuff sounds gorgeous though! I'm going to wait til the middle of August though to put my order in, as I'm hoping someone in my uplines team is going to split a pack 3 (as long as I can order it!!) as the 2 girls in my team are splitting a pack 3 between them.

Am I being draft? I can't find any downloads about the butterfly tea-parties on the Phoenix site.

Hi mindermum, there's a version of the fundraising brochure we got available in the 'Information' section to give to customers (they are also available to order, presumably glossy version!). I spoke to cust servs the other week and they said the press release will be available soon- they've been snowed under with, well everything at this time of year.

I am considering becoming a Pheonix Trader - just awaiting my information pack!

In the meantime just wanted to ask if there is any way to check if there is a Pheonix Trader already in my area? I have googled it and never seen another trader at local events but I would hate to join and turn up at an event where there was already a trader!
If I called Pheonix would they be able to tell me if there is someone trading in my area?

Many Thanks in advance!

Hi
What area are you in? Maybe someone on here lives nearby and would be able to answer?
Not sure if Phoenix would tell you or not. S'pose there is no harm in asking though.
I know I felt the same when I first started and it is a valid concern but personally I wouldn't worry too much about this. My upline has approx 20 people in her team, most of whom live in a less than 10 mile radius of each other. We all avoid each other at stalls etc Sometimes we share events, but this is all planned in advance and my upline is very good at collating all this info of who's doing what. Also, who's to say there aren't other traders in the area who are someone elses team.
There is a story that I've heard that there were 2 traders in the same village who lived next door to each other and neither of them knew each other were traders!! So I should think if they avoided each other you should be fine!
Also, if booking events, you should always book in the name of Phoenix so if someone else does try and book, they should be told someone from Phoenix is already attending.
Hope that helps a little. Hope you're not waiting too long for your info pack, its very exciting....

ON another note, I've still not had the Christmas brochure! Argh has someone kidnapped my postman!!! :mad:

Hi i'm a new trader and I'm currently at work at my other job:mad: so only got time for a quick post, but wanted to clarify, if i order the rollwrap selection special offer for about £10 thats on the same order form as the christmas special offer packs is it the new christmas roll wrap or last years old stuff they are trying to shift?

thanks

Also do the christams card packs come in cellos already or do you have to buy special ones?

Hi Pinkparrott,

The rollwrap is last year's stock - but still very good; but you have to be having events or parties for customers to see it and buy. If you sell from samples/catalogues, then the customers won't know what you have in stock.

The Christmas cards come as a cello'd pack.
