. Good idea to get as many contact details as possible for your customers - saves a few wasted journeys.

I'll agree with that I texted all of my customers letting them know when I was going to deliver and the one who wasn;t going to be home made alternative arrangments with me to hide the goods in her porch . if i hadn;t texted her i would have had to go back who knows how many times as she works shifts .

I put free samples in most of my campaigns and I get most of them back!! LOL!! It has paid off TWICE, so it does work, keep perservering I suppose.

Good luck tonight Lolly.

I have separate email, phone and bank account for Avon. Makes life a lot easier.

You have to make sure you order enough books to be able to give to your new sign ups.

So you need to make sure you have in stock 20 books for the new signup's next campaign.

You get reimbursed by Aovn, it shows as a credit on your account for all books you give to reps, that place an order and are successfully signed up.

Just hitting second campaigns with my reps, so only seeing credits for the first campaigns.

Lots of my customers have No Doorstep Seller stickers but they still order Avon I just popped books thru with a note saying if they didn't want to see another then write their house number on the slip and lots of them ordered :T xx

Good idea, I might try that. My houses are all on new estates though, so I don't think they will be elderly, but its still worth a punt.

I guess people have those stickers because they don't want to be bothered by actual door to door salesmen (Sky, Virgin, double glazing etc) but may be OK with just a book through the door which they can take or leave.

Clare, 3 of my regular customers on a Close, all have those stickers. I just put a book through their door with a note, if you do not wish to receive any more books, please tick this box, and they didn't and have been ordering from me regularly since I started. And not all of them are elderly.

It is to stop people being harassed by door to door salespeople like Southern electric, and double glazing, etc. You are giving them a choice by offering to leave them a book to look at. There is no pressure to buy, if they don't want to, they put the book back out.

Give it a go, you may get more regular customers

your ASM should be giving you the 2nd set of books for them too then.

Your upliner gives you first and second set of books for your sign ups. You then start buying your own. Hang on, will need to look it up as not completely au fait with it all.

Thanks! I'll give it a go this time with C1 - there are quite a few with stickers when I think about it.

Just waiting for my ASM to confirm whether one of my territory roads is already covered. Picked up C18 on Tuesday to be asked by one of the houses "Oh, is Sam not doing it any more? She was only here just last month". I said I didn't think so as I'd been given the road, but I would check. Have said to my ASM that she can keep it if she wants it - its only 6 houses and its a bit out of the way of the rest of my territory.

That is my good deed for the day!!

Order arriving today (hopefully!!) !
