I'm sure there are rules against blatantly walking through the store handing brochures to the employees, and I don't want to be arrested, and even more sure there are rules against putting flyers on the cars at the shopping center (you can be fined for that). So what are your thoughts on...

So my first recruit is going inactive at the end of July, I knew this was coming because she told me she wasn't going to sell anymore, and I have 2 others who signed since so I won't lose my FD status this week anyway! :-) My question is, she got a changeover box. What happens with the fact...

If anyone could help me. I did email Jennifer but I don't know what her schedule is for today, I have my LAST scheduled party for the summer today at 2 pm EST (I had one for August who just bailed on me....grrrr) and would love to be able to try for August bookings with the discontinued and...

I have a friend of mine, actually she's on my team too, who was....this is actually kind of a funny story, maybe not for her. I'll start from the beginning... She was with Weekenders for YEARS and didn't have much luck with selling it. She'd have open houses and there'd be maybe 1 or 2...

I just ordered door prize slip on my last supply order and I still did not get the Yes No Maybe slips. I have plenty of the other ones but wanted the Yes, No, Maybe ones so I'm still using homemade ones. Trying something new today....so we'll see.

I wouldn't even bring the hosts gift to the party for them. I've had more than one party never close, or not close without some help from me, you know.....the one where the host tells you there are 7 people coming and you get there and the 7 people includes two infants, her own children...

My host wants this for my party tomorrow night so I figured I better try it out in advance so I made it today for lunch and wasn't that excited about the taste. My husband had two bowls and said it was good, but I though it was spicy hot but with not a lot of taste. I wondered if I should...

one of the directors in my cluster came as a guest speaker on bookings at our last cluster meeting and we talked a little about recruiting when MY director announced her new incentives for this year. The guest speaker (she might be on here, if so she knows who she is :) ) said that she mentions...

Now that Pfaltzgraff is part of lifetime brands and made overseas, you can usually get Pfaltzgraff at half of the suggested retail value either from the website or at an outlet store, so most of them would be $80 ish for 4 place settings. So for the sake of pointing out that it's not over the...

there must be something in the water because I started out with 6 parties on the book, 4 of them either canceled or rescheduled but I managed to add another so in the end I end up with 3 (well, so far!). I'm glad to hear it's not just me, well, not GLAD but at least it makes me feel better...

The $470 on the My Incentive Calculator for the It's Your Choice is the company average, not the consultant. "Note: The Show Average listed below is the current company Show average. If you know your personal Show average, update this field for more accurate results."

check your local ordinancesIn a lot of places you would need a small games of chance license for something like that but I don't know if it's a state law or if it depends on your local municipality or that of the host really. In most cases you probably would not get caught but I read one time...

Family are the worst...really. I've had some great shows from people I've never met before, and some really crummy ones....most of which were family and friends (or former friends since some of them are now avoiding me....). Host coach until you are blue in the face and a lot of time it...

I've just started using Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com) for my email newsletter. They have a free trial period, after that if you have more than 50 names on your list they charge a monthly fee, but I think I'll still keep it. It's a tax deduction and you get a really professional...

I had someone ask me for information one time and in searching I found this: http://www.mavfc.org/news/papmeredchefbingo.html A fire hall that had one posted all there info. Maybe this will help. The organization never went through with it so I don't have any first hand experience.
