I just saved myself loads of time by printing out my order form details on the computer! Yey! :j It looks really neat and professional and it only took 10 minutes to print out like 100 order forms - it would take me about 4 hours to write - new bond girl perfume etc. in the box, name, number, delivery date, brochure no, by hand! Gift it a try if you have a good printer!

It doesnt work on mine, it just pulls in the order form and manages to seperate the customer and our copy. Then it all gets jammed up

Stpid cheap printer!!!!!!!!!

BTW the best way to find out how far it is, is to use google maps.

Click on 'get directions' then type in your post code at point A, then type the first part of the post code from flissys in part B and voila it tells you how long it will take you to drive there, and its pretty accurate. I do that with all different postcodes, sometimes you are surprised how many are closer than you think.

I use google maps too.

I thought one lead was about 100 miles away or something but it was actually only 40, glad I didnt pass on it as shes getting loaddds of orders!

What template do you use katchambers,
Has you ASM/SL provided everything for your signups as i only had a couple of packs and 40 books. No order forms i have had to use my own stuff

Mine provided Hello Tomorrows and order forms for all sign ups as well as packs and books! Mention to her that you've run out of order forms (even if you havent) when she hears that you can't do sign ups cos you have none she will be at your door in a matter of seconds hehe

No unfortunetly, but OH went to his mums and took a brochure for her and one for sis-in-law and then when he finally got home he looked after the baby whilst i walked to the big 24 hr Asda even though it was raining to pick up the freezer bags. Going there allowed me to make a slight detour to my sisters aswell to leave a book with her. Then on way home i went the long way to scout out my exact territory for tomorrow so now i feel i at least achieved something Avony today!

Will drop for the territory tomorrow, unsure if I'll door knock or not. And i'll be going to my mums to pass a brochure to her.

Wondering whether to take my little one with me to do my street though? She will have to alot of the time anyway due to her dads work hours and i find im more confident with her with me anyway for some reason.... plus the buggy basket would come in very useful as dont know how i'll carry 26 C17 booklets otherwise as i have a bad back on top of everything else!!:rolleyes: :rotfl:

Just wanted to say that I take my LO with me most of the time. She's just turned 3 and she loves posting the books through the door. It's 'our' job. And it's also an ice breaker. Most people love little kids are always nice to you when they are around!

Good luck with your round! :T

I'm pretty much definately going to make PC as my sales are high and i've still got about 5-6 campaigns to do it but i can't really see any great benefits apart form the free gala dinner. I thought i would be able to get my books cheaper but apparantly you have to order 20 packs...gulp!!
I only order 8 packs now costing 7.16 so why would i want to spend the extra 3 pounds to get all them extra books i won't use. Its a shame they don't make each pack cheaper really.
Are any of you reps existing PC members that no of any other good benefitss....i realise you get offers on new items etc...just curious???!!!

The other thing you have is the avon forum for PC reps (although IMO it was much better before they changed the site :mad: ) Also the PC packs in HT work out really good value.

How many customers do you have? With the brochures at (approx) £10 for 100, if you're not going to use them all, you could use the extra for re-canvassing. If not, is there another rep near you that you could supply their books at reduced cost to them?
The gala dinners are great... although I missed mine this year as I was in Tenerife.
Good luck and hope you get to PC soon

Your sl HAS to provide all the books, forms, appointment packs for all your appointments in your first 2 (or maybe 3?) campaigns as a sales leader. Even if you sign up 200 people, she HAS to provide it all. So I would get onto her about that, and as mikiki says, tell her you can't sign someone up and she will be over like a shot - I would think!

The template for the order forms I did myself, not really a template, I just experimented on where to put each bit and kept printing it out until it all matched up. I'm happy to send it to you if you pm me your email, assuming that word will keep all of the page setup stuff that I did, not sure if different versions of word will change some of my settings or not. It looks totally fab!

The only thing I wasn't given were hello tomorrow magazines - need more of those.
