OMG!! I've received my territory - 197 houses! I only have 20 books and given 2 of those out already! Will have to phone SL and see if they have any spares, I've worked out I can do 60 this campaign, maybe 80 if I turnaround a bit quicker.

197 houses!!! :eek: Is that about normal? I think I've been given 76 ish from what I can work out and I was pre planning a strategy for these.

Easier said than done (she cries) but don't panic 197 houses is a great opportunity!!

she might have spares that shell give you - but remember we only get refunded for 40 brochures in total (20 for your first campaign and 20) for your second campaign so saying as she hasn't already given you extra don't be surprised if she says no as it will be out of her own pocket, plus she might not keep enough in for you to buy them off her. Definately ask though you could be lucky but if not just do what you can. With the amount of houses you've got they must have gone through the asm rather than got the territory themselves which would explain their delay in getting back to you.

Thanks Elliebee - the voucher is brilliant. Have printed it out and it looks fab in black and white which I usually do anyway. Thanks loads x

One of my new customers ordered £48 this time, and when I told her she was my highest orderer she said she probably will be every time ...... so she'll probably be my first recipient!!

Thanks Aureol for the update - let us know when they offer you the promotion, eh? !!

All OK delivered all my orders last night except for one who wasn't in (but she usually offers to come to me to pick it up if I keep missing her), all done by 8pm which is brill but it took me ages to sort out the money and brochures I'd also picked up.

Brain not functioning this morning, got to work, swiped the car park barrier with pass, put it on car passenger seat. Put it in handbag before I left the car. Got to back door and went to swipe to get in ............ where is my pass? Dropped in the car park, that's where. Man from the post room rang me to say he'd found it which was a relief, I thought I was going mad (and wasn't looking forward to searching the car for it).

It is going to be one of those days ...

Hi girls. I'm interested in doing this myself. Can you tell me - all the girls with figures in their signatures, is that the amount of orders you earned or the amount of commission you got? Sorry for being nosy!

sophisoph

Hi donna, i think the majority are the total sales for that campaign. Mine are anyway x

lozza1985

Yeah they are just our sales not commission, I get approx 25% of my sales figures which usually at least £100 every 3 weeks so I'm happy

Have PM'd you

I'd say give it a go - there is very little outlay and you don't have to commit to continuing for any length of time. Whereas, when I started in October 2007 I had to flounder around on my own, there is lots of help and advice on this thread so you can ask anything without feeling you are being a nuisance to anyone. We've all been there, done that, didn't know how to return the tee shirt

Phoned my SL this morning, he's going to bring me another 100 C7 books!

Have delivered 18 brochures this morning. 2 people came out the houses and gave me the books back saying they didn't want them. I missed a few houses out because (I know this sounds bad) they didn't look like they would be interested or that I would get my books back. Was looking round the streets and I have LOADS, some roads I'm not even sure where they are! Think they're all fairly close though. One road started at no21, don't know where the other numbers are. Might get DH to take me round later so I can get an idea of the roads and work out my route. Going back Friday evening to collect them back in so fingers crossed
