[glow=red,2,300]Rollers[/glow] FOR ATTENTION OF GLORYBOY
Blackout blinds the same colour both sides
More choice in blackouts/cheaper prices.
More Reds and Pinks
More matching fabrics rollers/verts/pleated
Rollers for CN roofs
Rollers on 35mm barrels as standard on shorter widths
Cut out shapes above the baton bar
Lose the “shower curtain” fabrics
Competitors have more upmarket fabrics and bottom styles
Choice to have braid on back of roller too.... (so it looks nice from outside the window too....)
[glow=red,2,300]Romans[/glow]
More reds/pinks
Romans for CN roofs
Improved blackout choice
Blackout lining option
Shapes at lower edge
Tab Tops

I would like to see the samples in the presenter with a number on the reverse so that we can easily locate the place in the presenter that they live. It would also be useful when requesting samples just to have a number to ask for. (For those customers who need to have 20 samples out at a time to compare!!)

 Excellent ideas JoYnMik, agree with them. I can't take the credit for them all I'm afraid. These were the suggestions I got from other agents before the "Two Meetings"..... ;D Here's another. Picture on the back of all samples with a pattern so customers can see bigger picture. (Recently had someone ask me how many boats on Sailing fabric as sample only showed one - for anyone who followed that story.... it was 24 boats/yaughts/yots/yachts ;D ) i didnt know we sold yoghurt oh no more dors ;Drussell |

Have been asked for brown sidewinder chains for Romans. There is no reason why they can't do it, the chain is the same as is used for rollers.

Have now been to the spring meeting and must admit I feel quite positive. John Risman video quite good with an addmission that they got it wrong,at least its a positive start. Also had the privilage of reading out the notes from the Advisors forum which was quite exhaustive. We now know that all area managers have the same text. This might be interesting for those who have poor area guys.
There was also a flow diagram with the Advisor Forum Project Teams on it but unfortunately I didnt have time to copy it although I expect this will be released to us all very shortly.
Before you ask YES iI did add that this forum played a large part in pulling together

Dont what happend there but heres the end.
all the concerns of those who use the Forum. I also believe that a resolution to the Claw Back problem is coming to a conclusion.
All in all I felt that it was a good meeting and progress is under way.
Heres hoping
