    Can anyone join in cos I'm trying to potty train DD!

    Have found C10 to be a bit on the slow side for my customers - hope some of you have done better. I seem to have collected new customers but lots of the regulars don't want anything this time. Hope its not the weather. Still - onward and upward.

    Hope the potty training is more successful!

    I'm just going potty, so can I join in :rotfl:

    My C9 is due tomorrow which is why I'm still up, prepping Fergie samples, new books, etc, etc.........aaargh! You'd think I would be used to it by now :D

    I've got 12, possibly 13 (one is thinking of leaving and I have to say I can't blame her with the problems she's had) - though one of those reps is OH, and the other is his Mum lol! Main thing is, just work at it as and when you can, and don't get too disheartened when you get people cancel at the last minute, got to debt, go awol and won't contact you....it happens to every sales leader & asm.....just hang on in there for the good reps, because you'll meet some lovely people who love being a rep and it will be a pleasure to be able to help them.

    LOl Elliebee, I went potty a very long time ago! As some members of MSE will tell you! They think I am a nutter!

    That reminds me, I must use your very helpful handout for the Fergie perfume promotion!

    I was talking to one of the ladies at work yesterday and showing her C11. Our resident Avon lady came upto me, and coughed not discreetly and said I hope you are not pinching my customers! I said to her, of course not, I am just showing this lady what a great book C11 is, look at all the offers! I am sure she will have a shopping list for you! She then went onto explain she only sells at work, nowhere else, and only signed up because her daughter is an SL. So I thought.. keep the customers.. although I did manage to sell some of the new tan lotion, by showing and talking about it! Unfortunately had to tell the lady who was interested, in the interest of fairness, she should order through the resident in house rep!

    Aww Lozza just reminded me of the one who went to debt.. she earnt so much every campaign, she sold loads! And the one who went awol...

    Ah well. See how quickly I had forgotten them? There are plenty more people out there who are interested and really do want to benefit from the discounts and extra income, it is just a case of finding them :).

    Thanks for that Melvis! Didn't know anything about that.

    Very quiet these days on here. Everyone busy enjoying the sunshine and making lots of sales?

    Me, I am attempting to go to work and end up possibly breaking my nose on the pavement! Spent 4 hours in A&E today and have to go back next week when swelling has gone down to find out if I have broken it!

    Hope my customers feel sorry for me and buy from me!

    My campaign wasn't so good this time. Only 4 customers, total £53. I ordered some stuff too so at least I got the MOV. I'm hoping the Fergie perfume does well this campaign. I've got to write my note later to go in with the brochures then take them out on Friday :)

    Re royal mail delivering orders - they need to be very small orders to come that way, 5 brochures weigh about 1kg by themselves. Thought I'd mention that as already had a rep asking in a panic.
