One of my customers has ordered 3 x Lacroix Rouge from Brochure 14 (£14 each). I can get a Lacroix Rouge gift set in HT16 for £14. Will the perfume come separate (boxed) to give the customer so I can keep the freebies for future free gifts?

I don't know for sure as I haven't ordered that exact gift, but I did order the far away gift set from one of the HT magazines and all the pieces came separate in their own boxes, so I assume it will be the same.

Thanks Kat.

Regarding Mailplans, I had wondered which one MK was on, but turns out there may be different ones even locally.

Are you in Milton keynes pinzy? Me too!!!!

You are right that across the town will be different mailplans, as I am on mailplan F in bradville, while my sales leader who lives in somewhere in MK4 is on mailplan D. If you tell me what area number you are in, or what date you have to submit your c15 order online I can tell you your mailplan.

1 week to go until i put in c15 orders and only received 1 order for U perfume, even with all the daft sample cards in the books & i ordered a few proper samples aswell :-( , Im gald i didnt do the money maker scheme now as nearly ordered a few of them and its just a hassle having to send back. Im liking the look of the new Bond Girl perfum and hoping that with the new film out soon may encourage a few orders and think its better priced for my customer base 2. On a major plus note think i managed to get about 8 freebies for myself last order woo hooo :-)

I really wanted the starter kit because I don't have a decent bag to carry my brochures in yet.

Kat is this your first or second order? if it's your first you can order the starter pack next time. If it's your second, I could order it for you in Dave's second order - we don't need another one! Specially as I have the minging sales leader bag and the bigger demo bag already!

The Lacroix stuff all comes seperately packaged, so freebie away! Although you can only order one reduced one from Hello Tomorrow, you can't order multiples.

Pinzy, I thought the same but so far all of my people are spread way out from me, and as Kat said there is a high turnover. Plus, I don't know if this applies to you, but some ASMs love you to think they're doing you some massive favour, rather than doing what they're paid to :rolleyes: so will blag you this is the last bit of territory they have, even if their map is empty! Luckily mine's not like that, but an ASM in an adjoining area is reputed to be.

Well, I've had my first contract cancellation, and an appointment cancelled today - boo! - but I have a sign up later this evening. She is a referral off another of my reps, who has kindly offered to be there and interpret (they are both Polish).

I have also decided to [STRIKE]steal[/STRIKE] liberate some of the C15s I was reserving for sign-ups. It's getting that close that I imagine most will go into C16 now. So heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off putting books out I go...

Cheers Silver ... I know I can only order 1 of them from Hello Tomorrow and I'll order 2 as normal from C14

Hi, forgive me if this is a silly question but is there a way to be involved with Avon other than being a representative, there are already quite a few in my area. I would like to be home based and have strong admin skills and a long history in the beauty industry and of course I really love Avon products so thought I would ask those with Avon experience for any suggestions - thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Glowgirl

The only positions within Avon are as a Representative or as a Sales Leader - occasionally 'salaried' jobs as area managers do come up but they tend to be recruited from the existing pool of representatives.

However, there is scope within being a representative - if you have experience in the beauty industry you could be very successful even without going down the traditional route! You could do party plan, pamper events, coffee mornings, workplaces or friends and family if there is already a rep in your area. Or you could take territory in a different part of your area that doesn't already have a rep - for example, in my area there is once part of it that is jam packed with reps and no streets free, but in the other part there are entire estates without a rep. PM me if you want a more detailed answer.

Yeah I'm in MK, innit

I haven't even been properly signed up yet though! A lady is coming round to the house on Tuesday to go through everything... it's taking so long for that day to get here!! Though I did get a welcome letter from Avon along with a copy of C15 (I think, the big one with U on the front), and was getting excited flicking through and smelling pages! I'll soon find out which area I'm in and let you know.

Silver - I had wondered if what she was saying about "only having a small area" was true, so I shall voice my concerns about having enough area for me to do sign ups with and see what she says .

C'mon Tuesday... I wanna get started!!

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.

going to try ringing her this morning, I need to get my books sent out!
will let you know how I get on
