:rotfl: I think it's just you, me and the dog Lisa...........it's gone very quiet at the minute hasn't it? I think everyone is just struggling with delivering brochures in this awful cold weather.
I've got my next lot to do on Monday :eek: Perhaps it will warm up a bit by then!'Better to ask a silly question than to make a silly mistake' Elliebee's Mum

hiya ellie, glad to see i havent scared anyone off oooops.
i only just managed to get my last lot paid off today, order has to go in on monday, went out tonight and got a few of my books, my prob is, i have 2 streets but only about 5 customers from the whole 2 of them, i've got other customers but they're spread out all over the place - i dont drive. thinking of asking for another few streets soon after all this short campaign stupidness has finished but not sure yet, at the moment it just pays for any cosmetics i want or my family but i'd like to make some money out of it too. as i said in a previous message, i'd like over a hundred customers but thinking of what it would entail :eek: who knows what 2009 will bring though. Good for us all i hope :T x have a nice night and good luck with the next orders x0 -
i have 87 books to deliver tomorrow... Also have to call back on 8 customers who asked for longer with the book or didnt answer the door on friday night.
i havent even made £100 sales so far on C3 so i'm going for a last minute push on some territory i havent canvassed before...hoping i can pick up some new customers.... not feeling too positive bout it though if im honest.0 -
Hello ladeeez,
Hoping you're all groovy, just a quickie... does anyone know if there's anything special about Rufus Bear?
I ended up skipping campaign 2 :rolleyes:, what with being a bit ill over Chrimbo, nan passed away between Chrimbo and New Year last year so that was a bit weird, plus not willing to get off my lazy butt!
So I ordered a load of stuff that I needed / didn't need / wanted to experiment with (wahey!), and a "£150 of stuff for £60!" box. In said box was a Rufus Bear, I was just wondering if anyone knew if he does anything special (i.e. heat up), before I open the bad to try and find out. Else I'll have to open it. Can't really put him on the radiator in a plastic bag, might be a bit smelly wot wot.
So short version: What does Rufus do?0 -
my C2 order has to be in tomorrow and just about made £125sales!these are a big come down from the £300 sales i was getting before xmas!so not motivated to cover my new teritory ive just recieved seems like a lot of work for nothing!0

Sales after xmas are always rubbish, it will pick up agan in about a month0

Yes I was a bit de-motivated but a friend told me no-one delivered on her estate so put a few books out......
Collected them in tonight and got an order of £35 so that has cheered me up.
Do you think I should tell my ASM that I am claiming that area ?0 -
Just to give everyone a bit of hope........I have been delivering a book to my local hairdressers for a month or two now. I got one order for a digital camera before Xmas, and have just picked up one for 10 bottles of dry ends serum (obviously for the salon).........whoopee :j
Although orders seem a bit thin on the ground now, don't forget you are potentially earning every 2 weeks instead of every 3. That helps a bit'Better to ask a silly question than to make a silly mistake' Elliebee's Mum

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good christmas and new year.
I just have a quick question if anyone can help. I have just checked my invoice online and I have ordered 8 of the Clinical Lift and Tuck Trial size products from HT4 as they were only 25p each. I was planning on giving them to customers tomorrow when I deliver my orders. However I have just been going through the brochure and I think it has been discontinued as I can't find it.
Does anyone know if this has been discontinued and if so what has replaced it?
Thanks

Great thread everyone - thanks for all the tips it has really helped.
I signed up as an avon rep this weeka and met up with my ASM on Wed - it was quite a rushed interview and it just seemed all she was keen on was getting me to sign on the dotted line...
I also don't have an allocated area as she didn't give me any road names.
I've also just caught the flu aswell so I haven't been able to do anything this evening
BUT... tomorrow i'm going to drop off catalogues at the hairdressers, laundrette, gym and my folks own a pub so will be down there with some brochures.
I am also thinking of holding some parties - any tips please?
I work full time already so this is just a hobbie for me really and it would be great to earn a little cash aswell!
Thanks guys
Any tips for parties guys?
Thank you :rolleyes:0
