Flissys is a website for sales leaders - https://www.flissys.com. You get 2 weeks for free so may as well make use, then it's only £12 a year. I think it's a great site:

Am also waiting on the Oasis bangle watch. Rang today to be told they're in the factory but not yet in the warehouse...... (whatever that means!) Am guessing they should be available by next campaign but that doesn't help me because someone held off ordering one last campaign thinking they had plenty of time to order one this campaign (required for a friend's birthday next week) and now they're oos! Typical!!:(

I was waiting for one from C7 and it arrived last Friday (about 10 days after the main order)

Does anyone have the silver Gwyneth slippers that are brand new and they want to sell? My poor customer has been trying to order these since before Xmas. Last time I sold her a different pair of slippers for the same price, she got a bargain and she was very pleased but when she saw them in C8, she ordered them again!

Im starting to get all my things sorted for tax returns, I want to be able to make a note of all profits at the end of each campaign. I thought about having 4 columns for this, one with the total order amount (this would have to have to sections, one for current campaign and one for back orders), amount I earnt according to invoice, Costs (brochures, bags etc) and then profit (so I could take the costs off the amount it says I earnt). Is this right? have i missed anything?
Also what about credits? could I just take that off costs? so if it says i got a credit for a £10 order, I would have got £7.50 credit, could I just add £2.50 into costs as Ill have to give the customer the £10 back even though avon only gives me £7.50. I want to write it all down in a book so not using the computer so it'd be a pain having to alter previous campaigns info to make up for the credit.
What about products ordered for yourself? should I just cross the product off my invoice with a note saying personal order or whatever so it wont be included in my earnings.
Hope this all makes sense! x

I have a spreadsheet where I breakdown each invoice. The columns I have aren't all necessary for tax returns, some of them are for my own info so that I understand how my costs are splitting out. The columns I have are: Customer orders, Brochures & stationery, Samples, Customer Rewards, Stock (from creative ordering), Personal Use. I then use the total invoice figure less the personal use figure as the cost for that campaign. I am booked on to a HMRC course towards the end of May so if that throws up anything else I will obviously amend what I am doing.

I just deduct credits from the relevant column.

What a day!

Had 60 books to collect today! Went out with little un this morning, got up the very far end of my long street and the heavens opened! I decided we would collect the books up cos if it rained all day they would still need collecting at some point! Got 4 orders from 50 so that was fine. Then i went up to my other street, only a few had put there books out, left notes for the others that werent in, but one lady gave me my book and also informed me they have a rep, she was proper nice an said she didnt wanna be rude by not ordering and just putting book out and me wasting my time when i wont get any orders - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Anyway, got my party tonight, house is cleaned, now just gotta sort my stock out and display things!

Should i play a game like a ice breaker - what do you think?

I was doing my sales and purchases on 2 different sheets but after going on the HMRC course on tues, they used an example of it all on one sheet, so will try and do the way they have done it!
