May I make a suggestion? I think it would be really handy to have a bit on the first page for how to register your business on line iwth Avon. When you click on the link you get asked for a user name and password which hasn't been set up yet and it's confusing, well it confused me anyway. It's only when you "X" off that bit that you get the registration page. We could also flag up the training guides once you have registered particularly how to order on line on the system for new reps.

What do you think?

Good idea to include any/all suggestions on the first page but am wondering if with your particular suggestion your sign-up wasn't done correctly - or maybe I'm the one out of sync....

Whenever I do a sign-up I make sure the newbie registers on-line whilst I'm there so I can guide them through what you've said above. I then suggest they log off and back on again just to make sure they're happy how to access their website and all the information there.

Is that what other SLs do?

i am possibly getting some more territory soon if the 2 ladies currently doing these areas do not put in order today. This will be the 3rd campaign they will have missed. Is this normal for ASM to pass territory on after quite a short period of time? She also mentioned a few people closer to me not doing much in sales and possible only doing friends and family so may get closer territory which would be great. She also mentions perhaps i might like to look into becoming a SL myself but i said i would have to look into this. Guess i will be asking you lovely lot a few more questions over the next little while, plus also reading back through old threads. I will oneday earn enough to clear some of my debts!

Yes, missing two clear campaigns, usually means an ASM will withdraw territory and re-issue it. All depends on whether the rep is hitting their targets for their territory though too e.g. if they're PC then the ASMs tend to leave them alone.

Some ASMs will email the rep to let them know that unless they place an order in the next campaign they will lose their territory but I gather others just do it without any reference to the rep.

If you're confident about running your own Avon business and have the support of your upliner (invaluable to help you get leads) then I'd say go for SLship; it's a great time to try it as they've increased all the bonuses at every level from C14 to C1.

I was signed up by ASM and left to muddle my way through. I doubt that she knows who I am two years down the line.

I'm guessing that I'm not alone and a how to guide would have been very handy.

I was exactly the same! Must say that I do the same as MC when doing sign ups for newbies. I have just finished putting together a 'training and hints and tips' manual for any new signs ups I do. It should let people have a refernce for after I have done the training and they are on their own (although I am always available for my team).
Incidentally - just had my first reply to job ad posted on Gumtree!!!! :rotfl:
