How many houses do you reckon you have left to do Missy at a rough guess? Just getting the books ready to bring tomorrow x

Thanks hon, have calmed down now! Still got the biggest street left to do anyway so that will keep me busy until I get some new territory.

My books are ok thanks to the plastic bags, however calling book is now drying on the radiator!

On a positive collected my last book in from my first street, and there was a £20 order. Totals orders are now over £200 with my biggest street yet to canvass (and of course the books to collect in from my unnofficial street!). Yay!xx

I have 52 left to do, and have 7 C5 books here that I didn't drop today due to rain and being an idiot in general! Need 45 books but have got time to go out a couple of times this week, so any would be gratefully received xxx

Think I've probably got that amount to be honest, just sorting through them, a couple have got wet and need chucking but majority are good as new.

That would be brill, then I can get them all done in one go! xxxx

Pmsl - thought one of the brochures was a little bigger than it should be.....someone has not only returned my brochure, but given me one from 2006!:p Having a flick through, and its uncanny how many of the products are exactly the same lol!

Well - 4 new customers and their orders total £72 so really pleased If only my MIL would bother to recanvass - but then why should she listen to me I'm just the girl who lives with her son lol!

I am so pleased! had a lady that called me last friday to say she forgot to put her order out when i said i would be round, told her i would be back on tuesday, no order out and so was she! Left a note to say i'd be back friday, again, no book, no order and no customer! Thought i would take a drive round there on way back from in laws and there was the book, with a £29 order!!!! Wooooooperty!

Just a quick q, do u do every house in your territory, every campaign?

Thanks x

I did for my first 5 campaigns - unless they said no thanks, or I didn't get the book back. Then after that I've just recanvassed say 20 houses each campaign you will pick new customers up over time, people will move etc so is definately worth recanvassing. I've been doing this over a year now, and as you can see from my post above, I've just got 4 new customers this campaign from recanvassing so it does pay off I tend to use my previous campaigns brochures towards the end of the campaign, so then if I don't get them back it doesn't matter so much.
