    Jasperconran, you might be able to if you could split your week down (say B'ware books one night, Avon the next, B'ware coll one night, Avon the next) or see if you could drop both books at the same time?

    Yes, these business are very good ways to make a little sparetime cash. DW used to do Kleeneze until she got poorly...

    Hey BeautyandtheBeast :D
    I can't believe it - I only rang Betterware on Saturday and my co-ordinator rang me tonight! He's coming round tomorrow evening to get me started! How's that for quick service?!!
    Looking forward to earning the extra cash - I desperately need it to be honest, I'm getting married this year and it's not the wedding that is costing, it's all the hen arrangements,lol!
    I know this works because I have done this with a very similar company, the products sell and I've already let a couple of my old customers know - they can't wait for me to drop the books round :) I shall update on progress :)
    Good luck your end, please let us know how you're getting on :)
    Jenny :)
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Hi, I tried Betterware 2 years ago, but to be honest I was not in a good place and didnt really put much effort in. plus some people were so rude when I put the books thru their doors, one woman threw the book back at me!:eek: So I thought, I aint doing that! lol Anyway, i have just started trying Avon again and was wondering if I could do Betterware alongside Avon? anyone could any thoughts on this? would I find it too much do you think?? thanks
    I try never to be rude but despite putting notices up on my front door saying I don't want ANY catalogues/hawkers etc. the Betterware person still puts in a catalogue. I don't have a porch and nowhere to leave it out without it getting wet. At the moment there are two books still outside for weeks and weeks and tomorrow they get binned. They come here ringing the bell for it and before now I have left my bath because I thought the bell was an expected important caller only to have the Betterware asking for their book, it is hard NOT to be rude. Working nights means I am often in bed when they come buzzing the bell or banging on the door when I have disconnected the bell.
    despite seeing the catalogue soaking wet outside held down with a brick they still have to put another one in the door.

    Well after looking through a betterware catalogue I had quite a few laughs. I honestly cant believe people would buy this rubbish, but obviously they do, which I find amazing and I take my hat off to the salespeople how they can keep a straight face while taking the orders is brilliant.

    Hi there, its really simple just to let the distributor know that you dont want a catalogue - or you can ring the main switchboard and they will stop delivering to you. :)

    Im not quite sure what happened there - i didnt mean to thank you i meant to quote you NOT thank you.
    As with everything in life - one mans meat is another mans poision. Some people may not like the stuff in there but theres alot of people in my area that are liking the goods. Its personal taste.

    Great idea for keeping thieves out, but guessing only works if you are in the house all day.
