Hi Melvis - welcome back, hope you had a great holiday! How did you collecting go this afternoon, any big orders?

No, but if you ask your ASM or upline they should have some spare they can give you. If not, if you PM or email me your address I'll pop some in the post.

Thanks Kerrie, my SL is on holiday, so will have to wait, I think she is back soon though.

Wow I am so busy - my order arrived yesterday and I have 17 boxes to check off. My final total for camp 15 was £914 so this is gonna take me a while i think.
I've got my first 2 sign ups tomorrow and my ASM coming to check my paperwk on Tues. Then am going prospecting for the first time on Wed.
Ive got to deliver/collect my orders Monday - and need to get my camp 17 books ready for then as am one stop selling now.
I had my party last night and only 2 people turned up so was a giant flop as expected - But - one lady took 5 books and said she works in a large office with lots of women so she'll take them to work - so not all bad.

Does anyone know how soon after you have been tagged as a SL you can use the SL website??

Pippa

OMG!!! WOW!!! I do believe that is the highest order I have read about on this and the last avon thread - amazing! How did you do it? Can I ask how big your territory is, how many houses? I wouldn't mind at all having avon products coming out of my ears for 30% of that total!! Congrats, and good luck with your prospecting.

Your sales leader should have given you your territory straight away, if you still cannot get hold of her, have you got the details of your ASM because you could go straight to her, as she gives the territory.

Does anyone know the shade of the free lip gloss that's shown on page 37 of C15? A customer likes it and we can't quite figure out which shade it is!

I dont think you could work out which one the big picture is - I would advise her to choose one and then quote the Avon guarentee to her 'If you dont like it when u have tried it I will order you a different shade' - or order two and let her try then claim credit for the one she doesnt want and send it back.

Agreed - customer loyalty is earned by being as helpful as possible. I will have mineral make-up coming out of my ears this month - I am ordering tons because everyone is umming and arring over what shade they need. So I'm going to let people try for themselves! I'll send the surplus back - it's either that or mess around with exchanges anyway. The one thing you DON'T want with free gifts is for it to sit in a drawer somewhere. You want them to like it, use it, then buy some more!
I gave a customer a free lippy for spending over £25 when I first started. It was an Anew one in Modest Mauve that was supplied by my ASM. She loves it so much she has ordered a few more in C15 and her neighbour has also ordered one. So, if you can make the special offers work for you long-term rather than as a quick-sell, it can really help your business.
It's also worth putting a 'wanted' up on the website if a customer mentions an old product. I've just managed to get hold of a perfume for one lady that was discontinued before I was born! When I called round to tell her, she cried and then hugged me. So I think she's a bit happy and I'm pretty sure she'll be buying all her Avon from me forever now!

Pippa, I can't remember how quickly my website became an SL one, but it wasn't long, a week at most - it just happened on Sunday morning with no prior warning! By the time my ASM came round to show the different functions I knew my way round better that her :rotfl:And I've said it before but I'll say it again, your personal sales are AMAZING!

Kat, I'm trying for senior exec within 18 campaigns, not 18 months :eek: I know I won't manage it, but I want to give it my best shot before I fail, I figure that by that time I'll have a pretty good business anyway

Am I the only one whose life is being slowly overrun by Avon? I am seriously going to have to start pencilling in times to do chores and socialise - it won't happen otherwise! This week I have my last big stab at C15 sales, I've got to try and catch a load of students as new recruits, I have the pub party to arrange, and I have sign-ups and second visits to attend! I so need to learn to drive... either that or teach the cat to do Avon for me. What did I used to fill my time with six weeks ago?!

Its so infuriating isn't it. I've come across at least 3 other people posting on my patch. My ASM does nothing about it though saying its probably their neighbours. A whole road doesnt constitute 'neighbours' to me. Luckily all my regulars see them off generally! One I gave a polite phonecall to as her number was on a book that I picked up. She hasnt been back!

I guess that's the problem now they're really pushing the multi-level marketing.

The lady who's going to sign me up on Tuesday asked if I'm happy to go door to door, when I said I'm not sure she said she's got a small area left which I can do as a rep.

Thing is, if she's only got a small area left, how am I supposed to sell being an Avon rep to other people, knowing there's nowhere for them to sell?
