    A lot of companies like betterware are really struggling at the moment mainly due to the recession.My personal opinion is their stuff looks like cheaply made rubbish.I had 3 betterware catalogues left on my step the other day for some reason.

    Well I couldn't possibly comment on the quality of Betterware products - suffice to say I no-longer have 90% of them and the 10% I still have just about function (except the leather sofa cleaner which is really good!)

    I do betterware atm.

    I spend around 20 per week, breaking it down:-

    Hrs (5) Packing catalogues, order forms ect..
    Hrs (10) drop off's and pick up's
    Hrs (5) call back's, putting in orders ect..

    Everything started off fine with me at first, But i am now noticing a few cracks showing themself's.

    Firstly me and my TA are starting to fall out, order the way she runs her side of the business. She thinks its ok to tell me that she will no doing the following:-

    will not take order's intil 2:30 pm every tuesday,
    Does not help me with any problems with people that has ordered,
    Will not providing me with stationary i need during the week HAVE to wait intil tues.

    well to cut a long story short, she does not show on 2:30 today was more like 6:55pm
    Had a go at me as i needed more books / wallets / order sheets..!

    I love working for betterware, there is lots that is in its favor but its the people working for them letting me down atm.

    Hope all goes well for you!

    Did my first drop off of 40 catalogues this morning. It took about 40mins but was definately harder work than I thought.

    Be prepared for a lot of rejections and hostile reception not all of us appreciate crap catalogues shoved through our door especially when we go to great effort to tell you that :)

    I appreciate you want to earn money but also appreciate and respect those who dont want rubbish high price tat shoved through our door :)

    See this is one of the reasons I am put off doing it. I did not put a brochure through anyones door that said they didnt wont that kind of thing. I also have put a note with it saying if you do not wish to receive it again tick the box and I will not deliver to you again.

    There is no need for people to be rude to me though

    I understand that, the main problem is some areas get hounded every other day with catalogues I understand its mainly Kleenezy MLM scam because its a free for all

    If you asked people them fair enough thats appreciated but as I said some of us get fed up with the same catalogued every other day and hence why you might get a rude response from some

    Thanks for your response, I have tried to be considerate, as i know lots of people dont like receiving these things, but I also know some do. I am hoping by being considerate like I am I shouldnt get too many rude responses, if I do though I will apologise and go on my way. I do understand how people feel and dont want to wind people up or upset anyone.
