    Good work Emily, I'm hoping at least one of the houses I delivered books to this afternoon will be tempted and order something, fingers crossed....

    I know what you mean, I have 55 books to collect tomorrow night and my family and I are taking bets as to how many orders come out of those 55. My sister has bet the highest with 10 which I think might be a little ambitious but fingers crossed. I reckon 5-6.

    I hope you get loads of orders :beer: .

    Here's a little idea for those wishing to boost their award sales, either for PC or the iNRDP (not that I would dream of doing it myself ;) )...

    Avon are now price matching the Beauty on a Budget prices for orders in C4 & C5 BUT, and it's a big BUT (just like mine LOL) they are still giving the Rep the full value of the C4/5 price for your award sales by doing an adjustment in the items with no discount section - so... instead of using the code in the pink book, you could use the code from the main book instead so the customer gets the same price but you get the extra value for your sales e.g. e.g. MagiX face perfector £6.99 vs £10; Gllimmersticks eyeliner £2.50 vs £5; kiss n' go lippy £0.99 vs £3.25 (use C4 if you can for best effect as there's a multisave offer in C5); Planet Spa hand and cuticle cream £1.50 vs £3.50; V&T shampoo or conditioner £0.98 vs £2.65 etc etc.

    It quickly adds up and wouldn't cost the customer an extra penny but could get you into PC that little bit quicker.

    Hi Lozza

    Sorry I'm being a bit thick. Do you mean input the code for the higher price??

    Yes that's the trick - when you then view the sub-total, you've actually been charged the lower price and the difference shows up in the 'items with no discount' section as something like 'please ignore, for Avon use only'.

    Well,

    My new territoy didn't quite work out. Seeing as 1/2 of it is allocated to another rep. She rang me up quite angry yesturday and whilst I understand. It was not my fault. So instead of 90 houses I only have 40 now. Great.

    Going to call ASM tonight and ask for more to replace what I have lost. Not sure that Is poss though. There are 6 reps in my villiage. Great.

    I have got £194.00 in orders though so at least I can pay for all the books I need to order. LOL

    Just read my post, my order were from my old territory. the other rep is a camp ahead of me so everyone on that road had seen the bbok. Such a pain as I spent hours doing work for nothing.

    Did get 1 order off the part of the road that she does not do though.

    I do wonder why they would allocate part of a road to one rep and the other part to another. It is not a long road. only 85 houses. She has been a rep for 2 years.

    Bad luck Elle - hopefully you'll get your territory issues sorted out soon, but you seem to be doing Ok anyway.

    I know someone else said the other day that Avon are slow these days - has anyone else had a delay in their invoice appearing online?

    If I order on Wednesday, my invoice is normally available by Saturday morning, and this time I ordered Thursday early am, but still no invoice. Could it be anything to do with the site maintenance that happened last week? :cool:

  • Hi Guys
    I am new here but been lurking for a few months now.

    I have been an Avon rep for a couple of years but have a question.
    I always submit my orders online and follow them in the order tracking but his time it says my order is "held". Never had this before. I know the website has changes somewhat over the past few monts but has anyone else had this before? It normally says either received or prepared.:confused:
