HeavenScentU Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I just lost my best selling sales rep. She decided to not travel anymore. I made so much money with her. I am disappointed but now what do I do???? I have been with her since 2005 and she got me the exposure I needed. I am so sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Sorry to hear..When one door closes, another one always opens..Something will come your way..You'll go out searching now and will find an even better rep!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have a feeling that reps are going to die off from the price of fuel. rememeber to follow up with your cutomers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You're not alone. The gas prices are causing a lot of rural newspaper carriers to quit also. One of the local carriers I was talking to last week quit cause she said it was costing her just about $250.00 a week in gas and she was only getting reimbursed $147.00. I know it's killing us with DH's job!! :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 It is scary.... I decided to send all my merchants a catalog or brochure. To let them know they can still get my products directly through me. I guess I will be brainstorming, any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooniper Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I had a rep that started for a few seconds and then she decided to stay at home and try to market online sales as gas was too high. Whhhhat are ya gonna do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Do you have any reps that can pick up her accounts? Can you recruit another rep? If she was making money you should not have a hard time finding someone to take her place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I have local sales reps. that sell at work, friends and neighbors. Along with a few parties here and there, but that doesn't bring in the money that I am used too. This sales rep. traveled all over my state and neighboring states. I can't do that much traveling. Last month my sales with her was $2000.00 for June is great. This month is going to be ifee because she isn't out their peddling my stuff. I have to think of something quick.
