I dont have any neighbours! I live in a flat above an accountants and they dont start work until 9am.....oh well I'd better get my OH to leg it back after dropping me off at work and cross my fingers! lol

Hi I have a question about bogof.

When someone orders some thing for £5 and there freebie is £5 then another person orders an item for £3 and a freebie for £3 how do you make sure you get one freebir for 5 and one for 3. Not the two items at £3 free???

Am I making sense?

I think I'm right in saying that they simply show as half price...........well, I've only done it for 18 months - what would I know

Certainly if it's, say, 3 for £10 then they show as £3.33 ea. Be assured that it all works out in the end

BTW - Moneymaker (if you are still lurking) how is your ankle now? I remember you broke it while you were doing your Avon round just after I broke my wrist.

Hi, Elliebee, kind of you to ask. I hope your arm is better now - did you also get plastered, I couldn't find a post about it since you had the call from the consultant confirming a break. Yes, I regularly lurk around the boards - posting the occasional comment. Everyone on here is very supportive of each other - inspired me to recanvass (for the umpteenth time) my entire area once I'm up and running.

Plaster due off on 24th - counting the days down. Will still be plastered for my Dads birthday (17th), FIL's birthday (19th), DH's birthday (22nd), Mothering Sunday (22nd) and DD's 1st birthday (15th) so a bit fed up!

Must say, DS1 (13yrs) and DH have done a lovely job delivering brochures and orders for last camp and this one coming. Had taken DS regularly so he knows all the houses and how I run the paperwork. I slip him a couple of pounds so we both win.
Its always handy to have a 'stand in' just in case of emergencies, they also covered 2 campaigns after I had DD last year :T

the lingerie order... did they put the codes?? Cos you can tell the size from checking the codes in the brochure

Oh thank god!!! He has! At least i wont look like a numpty going back again. I already went back once because no name/address on the order form. Every one of my customers (3 on the estate this time around) seem really really nice!

Also one other thing, I have been given an extension until sunday night to place C6 order.... but on the online system it is saying C6 was due today. Will that matter or should i phone up the customer services to find out if i have messed things up? I told my customers they will be getting their products on the 18th / 19th.

Avon_Salesleader

hi everyone,

found this forum today and i think i am able to answer many of your questions.

as my nick says i am an avon salesleader and know alot of hints etc.

1. if during registratrion on the website it says Dob doesn't meet credentials...dont worry it just means that your account isn't loaded properly yet ..try again the next day and it should be fine.

2. sample pack.... if you dont like contents of sample pack or bumper pack...you can return those back to avon... just make sure you return it in full and you should get a refund.

if people are straying on your roads it aint easy to get sales, these roads were allocated to you... you can drop books to people you know or if a customer says that her friend down the road would like a book you can go there even if its not on your terretory as people have requested to see a brochure.
but if another rep is covering the whole of a road its clearly that she is straying wild....some reps do that when they are desperate for sales...naughty

if your sure that she aint just serving a few people she knows and strays all you got to do is get in touch with your asm and give her the name of that rep she will sort her out. dont know your asm ? i can find out who your asm is!!!

I have got to wait 6 months and if I am doing ok then I can have more. Must depend on your area as some new reps that stated at same time as me here on this thread have got about 200-400 homes already.

I'm wondering if it makes a difference if you sign up with a SL or an ASM? I signed up with an ASM and was given 180 houses straight away, ask for some more and was given another 120! Granted, that was after I couldn't get hold of her for 2 weeks so perhaps she felt she had to.....perhaps SL are more protective of giving out territory because of having to sign up plenty of rep's in order to make their money? Don't know how it all works just a though! only 33 houses though is really bad that is nowhere near enough to get lots of sales!!!!

My delivery is showing online as received by carrier so I'm guessing that means it should arrive today safe and sound?

I'm so nervous and really want to get everything right for my first Campaign, one of my customer asked me this morning if I would be able to drop her order off at her work place so I dont want to let her down!

It was the ASM that I have been speaking to. My sl said that I had to go to my ASM so I did.

How everyone camps going?

I have delivered all but 2 of my orders. I am a bit worried as my biggest order of £25.00 has not been in all week. I hope she has not gone away and forgot. An one lady was honest and said she was paid weekly would I mind going back on Friday so that it what I will do.

I have out out 27 cats on T2 and 22 cats on C1 had another 3 people on my T1 say that they were not interested, (those number just keep going down).

So I have got 49 to collect in tomorrow ( I really want to get at least £80 from these). I ran out of bags so I need to get more on Sat then I will finish the rest of T1 on Sunday, and get another load of T2 out aswell. I am hoping I get at least 20 back, otherwise it will be hard doing such a large area with so few cats.

Well that is where I am at. So how is everyone else doing?
