I just submitted an order for $275!!! I wanted a few things from the Outlet (mainly the parchment paper as DH has gotten into the Artisan Bread in 5 Mins a Day thing and DH's cousin is getting married in March, so I ordered a couple things for them too). So I sent out an email to my customers. It was Joy's Tasty Tidbits Outlet email. I just mentioned that I was going to order and if anyone wanted anything to let me know and we could order together to save on shipping. The stipulation was that they HAD to come pick it up at my house or arrange for delivery in a way that was convenient for me. Example, one woman who ordered goes to church with someone who lives in my neighborhood, so they'll do a hand off. I had 6 people contact me and the order was $275! I just made $75. Woohoo!Something to consider for our double points coming up....
 
How do you submit Outlet orders for your guests and make commission? Every time I've tried it doesn't recognize me as a guest. Can you go over the steps you use to do it?

I log in as me and it goes through no problem.
 
I do that occasionally too - love that free money!
 
I send out the an email to my customer base at least 2 times a month with the outlet items in it. I often pick up several $100 each month this way.
 
I still don't understand how you put it in. Do you do it in your PWS or Consultant's corner? I thought the people had to order it themselves. They have to pay you with cash or check, right? Or Paypal, I guess. I sure wish I knew it could be done!! I've lost at least $300 in Outlet orders because the people never went back to my site to order for themselves!!
 
I take the orders by email or phone, add them all to one order, put it into my PWS and have it all shipped to me. they have to pay me with cash or a check and I put it all on my credit or debit card.
 
I thought we didn't get commission on things we order in our own name. :confused:
 
if we order it through CC it is already discounted and we don't get commission that way.

I see so you're ordering through CC but Debbie is talking about commission and double points on hers. Debbie, are you ordering through your PWS with you as orderer and getting those benefits? Am I misunderstanding something about the rules again??

yes, I am. I know that when we order we aren't supposed to earn commission on it, but the website still recognizes me even when I go through my PWS. I've placed orders through my site on my customer's behalf several times and it's never been an issue.

I also combine orders and enter through my website several times a month. I always have it shipped to me and have the customer mail me a check. I havent had a problem up to this point and it is always a few hundered a month.
