Ok - I was thrilled last month with the $300+ order on my pws...well I just went to my shipment trackr to try & see when my sellathon stuff would arrive and there was a new order from my PWS...


for....

$500!!!!!!!

The name rings a bell - I need to dig thru my contacts and see who she is and why the name is familiar.
 
You lucky bum..do you get commission individual orders like that?
 
That's great. I haven't got any hits on my pws yet. I guess I need to push it more. I do have 2 large bridal showers coming up. So I think it will get looked at more then.

That's awesome!!!! I would have probably wet my pants if I had found either one of those orders on my site! I have only ever had one order for like $30! And I was psyched about it :)
 
WOW! Where are you finding these people? Or where are they finding you? Awesome!
 
Oh, forgot to ask....was this order as strange as the last one?

Heck yeah!!
 
MAN...I want one!!!!
 
I guess those are just one of the perks of being a director- lucky you!
 
Now...if she had CALLED you up... you would have given her $90 if free products... 2 half-price items...25% off anything else... a piece of cookware at 60% off...and 10% off for a full year...

RIght...

Sorry ...this goes back to another thread... about individual orders counting as shows...

anyway...

If people would only call up!! I've had people order on my website... and they end up paying extra shipping...when I could have added it to a show...
OR they are a couple dollars shy of a free gift...


THAT JUST PLAIN ROCKS FOR YOU!!!!!
Congrats!!
 
Yup..but I know people as dumb as it sounds that would just rather pay more and not deal with the party and all that. Rather just order out right. I don't get it, but they do. Who knows.
 
I wish someone would just order form mine $30 or $300!!!! Oh well, I may jsut cancel it if it does not start getting used soon.
 
Wow, I was excited the other day when I got a $192 order, which was a "Shop Online" lead. I was PSYCHED about that!! But, wow, $500 would have knocked me on my you-know-what!!!

Congrats!!
 
Congrats! That is incredible!! Are you sure you are not paying people to order from your site?? LOL!

BTW- I got the postcards, thanks! And I love your handwriting! It was the first thing I noticed...

What is this "shop online" lead you speak of? I need to know of this...lol
 
shop online is when people who want to buy are sent to a directors site!

My director had somebody order $4.50 worth of product. that's right, she paid more in shipping that the product was worth!! i just dont get it!
 
Did you..

look her up under the total items sold report? I use this all of the time because I don't save every customer to my contact list (only after 2 or 3 orders).

Gotta love those orders!!! :D
 
HI-FIVE BABY!
That is awesome!!!!!
 
That is SOOO cool! Someone is really looking out for you!!
 
THAT IS AWESOME:D :D I need to find some customers like that...
 
That's awesome! Congrats!
