Phoenix traders - what is your most successful selling technique?

Well done you! Is she local to you? How did you find her? Once you have sponsored 2 traders in 6 months you also qualify to receive allocated leads from the company, provided you stay active for 2 months out of 3.

Anyone ordered their christmas stock yet? Just wondered what everyone thought and did they have any favourites. I havent ordered yet so difficult to tell with just a brochure.

Ooo, I didn't know that! She took one of my brochures at a recent event, and contacted me later about becoming a Trader. She lives about 30 minutes drive away.

The sally swannell designs are lovely and the black and white sleigh design card looks fab in the flesh. The advent calendar cards and the photocards are well worth stocking, I had someone order 6 of them yesterday.

Is anyone actually making any money with this?
I have had the paperwork through and am thinking about starting up but trying to work out the quantities I would have to sell to make it worthwhile.
A typical card costs 69p plus VAT so 80p in total,if someone buys it as part of a job lot of 10 to get it at the reduced price it costs £1.00 which you have to pay VAT on,thats 15p which only gives you 5p profit.
You would need to sell about 400 cards just to cover the annual subscription/membeship fee of £20.
So is anyone actually making anything out of this business opportunity or is it purely a hobby?

You can make a part time or even a full time salary with Phoenix - as long as you put the time & effort in. Have you seen the DVD? Providing you order £125 of product per month you earn an extra 5% bonus on everything that you and any Traders directly under you order. I have two Traders directly under me and do Phoenix on a very part-time basis and will get a bonus of almost £90 next month based on purchases made by myself and my Traders this month. That is on top of the 30% profit I make on each item that I sell to a customer. Hope that makes sense! It's more difficult to explain than I thought it was going to be. :rolleyes:

I've just got my pack through and am really pleased with it. Love the new Advent Calendars, both the individual cards and the pop-out designs. Got quite a few card favourites including Five Festive Sheep, Christmas Post and Magical Night. Also love the Colouring table decorations, the Christmas Wish List pack and the new Gift Bags! Bit of a big list.

Thanks for the replies its interesting to hear what others like. My upline also said five festive sheep was a favourite and the advent calendar cards too.

The roll wrap seems a good offer doesn't it?

The new roll wrap is lovely (don't like the shoes one but love all the others!). All the roll wrap has the grid design on the back which is really popular and the wrap often sells out very early on in the season - last year there were a couple of designs sold out before we got to the middle of October! The roll wrap offer is very good - got myself a couple of boxes already.

I'm really excited just about to sign up and become a Trader!
Just a little question if anyone is able to help (if not I'll try and contact Pheonix).
I am going to opt for the Pack 3 Introductory Offer of 192 assorted best-selling cards (plus other bits and bobs) - as the christmas catalogue is now out will the pack contain some christmas stock?
I've got a couple of christmas fairs etc which I aim to sell at and it would be great if the pack contained chrimbo stock!
Many thanks in advance. )

Hi there, you will probably get Christmas samples in your business pack, but not Christmas stock in your pack 3. However, when you join, you will have 30 days in which to decide whether you would like to purchase a Christmas stock special offer pack. There will be a choice of 3 price levels, offering discounts of 35, 40 and 45% rather than the usual 30%. HTH
