How, in this economy, are reps aquiring their customer base? I'm thinking about joining FEH, but my main concern is CUSTOMER BASE. Everyone is soooooooo watching their pennies, encluding me. And in this economy, how can anyone meet the quarterly requirement.

I don't know about FEH but with jewelry, sales is still going fairly strong.. especially with the holidays around the corner. also, the requirements for the company i'm with are low compared to others and that helps out even more.

sorry i can't answer for FEH.. hopefully someone will stop by soon to answer your questions.

How most of the people in my team acquire their customer base is first by starting with their circle of friends. We typically encourage a consultant to do an open house and invite everyone they know. Then book parties from there.

I have built my customer base by doing:
* Parties
* Craft shows & holiday bazaars
* Social networking such as Facebook, Twitter and wahm.com
* Distributing catalogs to hair salons, doctors offices and places they will be picked up.
* Doing a drawing for a free candle in different businesses.
* Family/Friends

Hope this helps!
