Tupperware?

So, let me get this clear! You get 20% of sales, 33% off what you order for your kit etc and 12% off stationary?????????

I think the way it was explained to me is that you get 32% of sales, but they only give you 20% coz the other 12% go to stationary, like catalogues, games gifts etc.

With the account - you place the order and collect it. Sort it into who ordered what, then deliver it. At delivery you collect the money. Whoever hasn't paid doesn't receive their order until they have paid. Your account isn't due until 2wks later (I think it's 2wks, may only be one) so that you have time between when you collect the order, and deliver it to the day that it's due (usually a monday). I collect the money, deposit into a special account just for Tupperware, then pay it by card when my account is due.

I have had an issue like this. My sister had a party for me and her friend placed an order for her boss. The friend has paid me, but the boss still has not. So I still have her order. And because that account has been paid for, technically her items belong to me until she pays me. Since the party was in November last year... I don't think I'm getting the money. It was a $90 something order, so I'm not particularly happy about it. So it's mine.

No you get 32% in hand. You have to buy your own games gifts, stationary etc out of that 32%.

They say buy the time you take into account the purchasing of above products, petrol costs, and time for packing orders etc, it works out to about 20% in the end. If you sell straight from the book you get the full 32%, because you are not having to purchase games gifts and using the car for traveling.

Oh that makes so much more sense than what i was told.

Sorry, i've got no dating tips. My manager is making me feel bad atm for not having any dates.

Your manager sucks a bit Scone. She should be providing you with tips and motivation not making you feel crap about something you are trying to change.

That said, it does take a HUGE effort to fill your books once all the parties are gone. It's not impossible though...

Well, I'm still waiting for the rep to drop off some info to me.......it was supposed to be dropped off a couple of days ago. Maybe she is not keen to recruit???

[Mummatotwo!]

LuLu tell me how lol

[Lulu]

What have you done already MT2?

Sweet Bliss (and anyone else wondering about joining a PP), DO take into consideration the fact she hasn't dropped off the info OR contacted you to let you know why. Maybe she isn't that interested in recruiting..maybe not, but if you sign up under someone unreliable - what use will they be when you need support?

When I first signed up with PP I had a TL/Manager that was nice but I could never get hold of her. I had no idea what I was doing and then my parties dropped off. Then she left and I was assigned a new one. WELL! This one drove all the way across town to meet me, gave me a list of ideas but more importantly motivated me to the point I ended up with a team of my own (9 members) 7 weeks later.

So having a DECENT upline/TL/Manager is MOST important when you are starting out. At the end of the day its your business and you must do the work yourself but its bloody hard at the start.

As a TL for 2 years I committed to weekly phone calls with each member, monthly (way FUN!) meetings, emailed agendas to those that couldn't attend, sent a fortnightly team newsletter recognizing all achievements no matter how small. I also made sure I did the same things I asked my team to do myself.....which ended up seeing me approaching several umm 'massage parlours' for business on a dare
In any case I had a successful team because of my commitment to it. I get really peeved when I see PPers signing people up and leaving them to it. Not fair at all.
