    i agree with above. I worked for them 7 years ago and i made alot of money from it but all the pros and cons above are right and the company has changed alot since (i.e. worse).
    If your thinking of something simular but better then look at BlueBella.
    Where are you based, cause the company seems to be concentrated in the north and depending where you are will depend how far away your nearest rep is.


    Thanks for this tip, was thinking of signing up for Ann Summers myself but have signed up with BlueBella instead, thanks for the advice!

    I've recently become a BlueBella consultant. To sign up to them, I had to have 4 party bookings arranged, the first of which I planned for family and friends at my own home (I thought this would be a good 'kick-start') On the day, after I'd bought food, prizes etc, 6 people texted me in quick succession to cancel, so that was a lot of outlay with no income that night, and 1 non-party :( However, at the weekend past, I did a party for a friend (she had the same prob with cancellations) but it was a really good night and I made money! I don't get any pressure from my leader, but I know that if I don't make a certain value of sales soon, I will be paying £95 so the pressure is on in that sense. For me, it feels a bit like learning to ride a bike - once I get going I'll be great, but it's not as easy to get started as you might imagine.
    skint but in luv :kisses2:

    I dread getting invites to these 'parties', the stuff is always overpriced and in Ann Summers case tacky, i'm afraid i'm one of those ladies who does'nt turn up or texts to cancel on the night, because lets face it, i'm not being invited for my scintillating company, its so you can make a lot of money out of me.
  • why bother accepting the invitation in the first place ??

    You never know, you may be missing out on 'ot so overpriced things!

    I currently work for Ann Summers, and ALWAYS have a sale rack with me, with not just things to demonstrate but with items available to buy at a massively reduced price. :D

    Unlike lots of reps, I took on the job solely to get out of the house, not to make money, and really enjoy it.
    :j return to comping, after 3 years off! :j

    here's to a lucky November :)
