Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Thats a shame, is C6 your current campaign? I think personally that the book looks pretty, but there isn't that many good offers in there! When me & OH were doing the newsletter to highlight the good offers we had to cut out a lot for C3, C4 & C5 - but we only just had enough to fill it this time, and that with making the font bigger lol!

I hope C7 has better offers in it!

well im seriously fed up with avon at present - any encouragement to help me?

Ive had about 5 houses for nearly a year now - ive repeatedly asked for more terrirty and not getting anywhere - got offered flats on a condemned sinkhole estate!!! I cant do flats because im unable to listen to buzzer systems.

Currently have one order outstanding whihc i havent put through - i missed deadline and just so fed up - im thinking of ordering it thru customer site and get it that way. Cant understand people people who have hundreds of houses for territory complainning

Wasn't complaining at the amount of territory - it was the fact that my asm missed an appointment, and then for 2 weeks wouldn't email me back or ring me. Still all sorted now, and at least there was a reason (would have been cheesed of if she had gone on holiday knowing she was missing the appointment!)

Is it your SL or asm you've been asking for territory? If it's your SL, it might be worth getting hold of you asm to see if you can more territory that way. If you do deal with your asm, perhaps ring up avon and moan a bit??? Worth a try I suppose! Apologies if you already have!

I put my first order in this weekend which will be around £150, when you guys deliver orders do you take the next campaign brochure with you or deliver those later?

Talking of SL's having a good reason... I thought I was in for a wait from mine as she'd ignored my last txt, but she has replied already tonight and she was moving house last week and loads of stuff went wrong for her..
Anyhoo, she's given me 4 more roads which is another 131 houses..:j
Now... any suggestions on getting first orders?? Not going with the 10% again.. Too much of a loss..

I give the next brochure with the delivery xx

I'd go with a free gift with orders over £15 or something similar ... you can always get cheap 5 for £5 etc offers (which with your 25% commission works out at 5 for £3.75!) so works out cheaper than 10% off and boosts your sales even more

I think I might try that next time as I didnt get much joy from my territory, most of my orders have come from friends, family and local businesses.

It'll take time for people to get to know you and that you'll keep returning ... so many people have been let down by previous reps that they find it hard to trust new ones! Just keep going and I'm sure you'll get more orders

I hope so, only 4 people have so far said they're not interested so with any luck I'll get more orders in, thanks!
