Thanks.

Hopefully she will ressolve this for me. To be honest there's only 10 houses but it's the principle of it!

I have re canvassed the whole area as I am new so I will know who is and isnt interested in recieving them. If there arent many I may take on another road but it's 100 houses.

How many houses do you have on average then guys? I dont want to take on too many you see but I want enough for it to be worth while. I'm very lucky because I drag my boyfriend around as my little helper!

Loving this site, it is really helping me out a lot.

i have 401 houses but its a new build area so alot of those are empty at the moment.

dont take on too much at first i would gradually increase as time goes on (terotory provided that is) also maybee considering avon parties would be an idea i am having one for my "regulars" and the extra bits of stock will be raffled off then aswel

Yeah i have this problem as well and my ASM hasnt got back to me. I kind of feel like giving up with areas and just concentrate on friends, neighbours who i know and work. I found out the person doing the street has only just started as well so she probably doesnt know (or i'm giving her the benefit of the doubt!) and i have got a few people on the street with me so will have to see. Just it's so convenient to me my street and the other one which is close to me as well. xx

I get my boyfriend to help me as well, he has nothing better to do and he moans about money as well lol!!

I live on a new build but everyone seems to be to stuck up round here, God knows why lol!! Only a few people are interested but we get attacked by people doing Kleeneze so think that has put people off magazines now. Gutted.

Got a council estate next to us and i've been given one of the roads (already taken!) and my road so i dont know.............!

Just went to collect my books. In the end I didn't even drop to half of my houses. Had a week before 1st order has to be in so didn't put much effort into it. Got 2 orders but don't think I'll reach MOV.

Got most of my 14's back but hardly any 15's, thankfully I kept some back just incase! Will go out again either later or tomorrow and try door knocking. ASM is coming round tomorrow evening to go through ordering and stuff.

ETA: An avon rep lives on one of my allocated roads.

I knida feel the same, I live on a real council street, but have been given dead posh ones to do, but in the year I've been on my street I've never seen a book, so wondering if I should leaflet it or something, or risk a drop, but don't want to tread on any toes!

well a few people have told me that they havent received anything on the council road but on the new build they get harrassed by them. So think i will stick to my road (well the houses that i have done!) stick letters through everyone elses doors saying if you want a book ring me/e-mail me and then i dont annoy anyone. Think i will do the council bit and see as the cleaner at my work orders from me and she lives on that road and she's brilliant gets me pretty much over my MOV just her so if everyone on the street is like her it could be good x

Thats the beauty of my street, a new build council estate. So I know no one is already doing these streets as I started a week after people moved in! And if anyone else steps on my toes I can prove that I have been doing it since the begining

Strangly enough, I also have a street where an Avon rep lives, but she doesnt do the street her self. Told me she got no sales but its my best street for sales!

Quick question, i was signed up by a Area Manager and he never has time for me. Only on the day i was signed up, a few people have said that it's better to have a Sales Leader. Is there any way of swapping or getting help from them? as he is doing nothing and i e-mailed and rang him and nothin back after 3 weeks.

I am still having problems with my area and wondering if the sales leader might be able to help me?

Thanks

i haven't heard from my asm / sl since i got me first campaign through (approx 1year ago!!) does anyone know how i go about finding out if it is still the same person or if i have a new one? it would be good to know what streets are already covered in my area!

My sister-in-law sells avon and she was given one of the streets I now do, she told me no one would order and i was wasting my time. She doesnt put much effort into it to be honest. anyway, i dropped off my first lot of books there and got almost all of them back and about £150 in orders.

As for how many houses, I have about 100 houses, i dont sell to any family because they buy off my sister in law. I dont sell at work as theres already someone there who does it.
I started off doing just one street of about 60 houses for 3 camps and then on my 4th camp I did both streets, making it about 100 houses. I wasnt going to deliver to every house on my 1st street this time, but I am no because of the book changing it might generate some new customers.

What does MOV mean?
Is anyone here in area 800?
