    yeah it actually says in book 13 on the promotion page "missed out? dont panic! talk to your representative about ordering from book 12"

    so just back order one using the drop down boxes when entering it and it should be fine.
    I tried to just put in the code and it didnt go on but I have since emailed avon with what happened and what she ordered and they are going to add one on for me. :)

    Hi all,
    I am having an AVON party on Saturday 21st August, which will be my trial party with family & friends and I now have my first party "booking" on the 11th September.
    I have read all the links at the front but would be really grateful for any advice anyone has!

    I have a mixture of samples (with laminated postcards Inc a photo of product & info) & products that I have been collecting each order! I have a pink vinyl cloth for the table & different sized boxes to display the products on. I also have products on "offer" that the guests can buy on the night as well as placing any orders. I am going to do a raffle. Thought I would take the approach of sending around the samples for people to smell / try etc then just informal look & test. Is there anything else?

    Thanks in advance!!

    I always start a party with a game, normally the sally wright story, so i wrap something up from my 'bargain box' then read out the story, its like pass the parcel. PM you email addy and i can send it to you if its not posted at the start

    i go through the prevouis book and look to see if i can come up with any 'party specials' so looks a bargain compared to whats in the book but you will be back ordering it.

    Good luck

    Hi all

    Have been following the thread and signed up this week for C13. Got 230 houses in territory and is proving a challenge with only 20 books. Posted first 15 out tonight which went fine apart from one old lady who just about threw it back at me! I smiled sweetly and moved on sharpish! Am going collecting on Tues and am a bit nervous now...Got a mix of streets - 1 with large old houses, 3 council streets and 1 with semi detached houses. Any idea's on the best to try next as I wont get round them all in time for the C13 order date. Have done the semi-detached street tonight. Am thinking of doing the council ones next as the large old houses will take me ages to get up and down the drives!!! Handed 2 books out to friends, one out to mother in law's nursery staff and going to try my auntie who works in the doctor's surgery tommorow. Going to try and get a couple of friends to have parties for me and am going to order some stuff for myself this campaign so that I can test and recommend. Phew...also working my normal part time job and looking after my 2 tiny terrors!! Happy days. I really want this to work out. All hints and tips welcome...financeflop xx

    Welcome to the board!
    I have a mixture of houses too and it used to be the council style houses i got most orders from but my other 2 streets (one HUGE houses and the other semi detached bungalows) have started ordering too! My other estate of fairly new ish houses i get nothing really from them.

    is anyone having problems with these? the little claspy bit that holds the beads on keeps falling off - found it outside my customers door this week. shall i send back for replacement?

    Yes yes yes - if its not right, send it back! I have so far returned:

    Valentine treasure bead 1 - weird coating on it which peeled off
    Valentine treasure bead 2 (replacement) - one of the silver bits on the end came off, its been swapped for the blue one now which comes with my next delivery
    Fish bead - don't know if I bashed it or something but the silver plating started coming off

    And I thought about replacing my bracelet as its a bit big. Not done it though as I thought I'd sent enough back already! The clasp on mine is fine, perhaps a bit stiff even, so it sounds like a dodgy batch.

    Can't remember if anybody has posted about this already but here goes ...

    Avon Connects - This is a new social networking website we are launching at the end of August.

    The new Avon Connects site is all about connecting you, your customers, your managers and anyone else that loves Avon together, it will be similiar to facebook but obviously Avon orientated. Testing is 3rd August, and all being well roll out is the 24th August. The U.K and Romania will be piloting the project, if successful it will be spread to every Avon Market Globally so we are talking in excess of 100 countries so this is MASSIVE for us.

    Email from my ASM. If you google "Avon Connects" (make sure you put the quotes in) you should get a link to the UAT (user testing) site. Not much on there yet though!! Not sure if I'm allowed to post the link.

    Hi
    I’m thinking about making the jump from Sales Rep to Sales leader. So I’m after a bit of advice! Is there a lot more work involved? (I will be going back to full time education in September.) Plus is it worth the move financially? I currently have a territory of 54 houses, with 20 customers. I am thinking about asking for more territory as well. What do I need to do to get started as a sales leader? Am I right in thinking I have to find a certain about of people to sign up as Reps?
    Sorry about all the questions I think if I ask my current sales leader I might get swept up in it all without time to think! Thanks.
