Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

shelley14

With 400 houses, I'll probs order 100 books a campaign and filter out the houses that aren't interested etc so my round will get slightly smaller :rotfl:[/quote]

where the hell do you get rid of the books???????

melvis

We have flats near our house that have a massive biffa bin outside for paper recycling so OH drives a boxful down and puts them in there

i have about 400 houses too although not covered them all yet... and have weeded some of them out as not interested already.

i usually order 50 books as i have about that many customers whove ordered before. So i give them the current book at beginning of the campaign for say 4 days. Then use them books i get back to cover non orderers/new territory for rest of the campaign aswell as my previous campaign books for those who didnt see them.

oh and the recycling bin at sainsburys gets my leftovers....;) Although im keeping my 25 C2 books to put through some flats ive never covered before saying its expired but leaving my details if they would like an avon rep.

Blimey just got some of our C2 books back and we are at £375 already , i think missing the last 2 campaigns out was a good call as it was too close and too soon after xmas :beer:

Well done Deano. How many customers do you have?

Hi Melvis - I would think you'd have to credit all 7. When you go into returns it should show you how many are available so that will be a clue.

I currently deliver to around 130 houses and am about to take on 40 more. Area 1 is houses on the first drop, flats on the second (usually Mon collect Thurs, and Tues/Fri.) Then area 2 (with the old books) is a single drop as it is mostly the area round my house. That is delivered the following week. Those who have ordered this campaign will have orders/new book delivered between today and Friday (ish), and the book collected next Tuesday. Yes, it is as confusing as it sounds - my diary has scribblings all over it

At the moment I order 85 books, but I guess I'll have to order more when I get going with the new houses - just depends how good the first lot are at returning them

Umm... my source at Avon says that you don't have to return the free ones.

How is everyone anyway? I haven't been on for aaaaaages, so I haven't caught up with the thread yet (will do soon though!) I've taken on extra territory, I now have 800 homes, plus I am frantically recruiting, so that doesn't leave me so much time! Anyway, I'll post properly when I've caught up.

A happy, healthy, and belated 2009 to all :beer:

Hi Silver

I am new to this but have been reading the threads at the start. Well the first few hundred lol. I was wondering how it's going being a Sales Leader as I was thinking of becoming one myself. I started Avon as a rep just after Christmas. I was wondering if you can earn enough to live on as your main job as I am fed up of being messed about by employment agencies.

Ps. How do you manage to campaign 800 homes??

Hello everyone!
Right so I've just put my first order in for C3. Although I only got orders for about £70 I'm still happy with that as I only had 1 WEEK instead of the 2. All I did was leave it in the office and hey presto! I have ordered only 50 C4 books as I still haven't been given an area! What do you think I should do?

I also work for a charity and am putting stickers on brochures saying 10% of the profit will go to the charity I work for. I need to fundraise £10,000 in one year and I have to start somewhere!!

Fingers crossed C4 will be better - I've got a party on the 31st Jan and my friend has booked one for Feb so fingers crossed!

I also went on Ebay and bought a load of ex rep samples, bags etc for pennies so hopefully saved a bob or two there!
