Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Can anyone tell me which two campaigns are the shorter ones? I can't remember

Larumbelle

Isn't it 1 and 2? I've never done them, but I've heard the joys of being on mailplan O for them...

Campaign one and two are only two weeks long, with mostly sale/cheap stuff etc in them! I get one delivered before xmas so that should be handy.

Campaign 15 arrives tomorrow - looking forward to it....its been my biggest order for a while!

I've got almost all my orders in for my first campaign, one street I lost almost every book, thankfully they were c14 ones so not so worried, think I'll always do them on the older books! Think I'll have about £170 of orders, which isn't bad as it's only from about 10 customers. Will look to get a couple more streets and put out in hairdressers too I think for the next one!

ASM has been and gone, told her about my paying online problem and she's going to look into it. She told me to pay over the phone for now ... does anyone have the number?

Have entered my order thus far online to save me doing it all next week. 79 items ordered so far - much bigger order than my first!

found out these details after speaking to rep months later and also noticed the van delivers to two other houses in the street!!! So kinda gave up the idea of doing it as flats were too much hassle and moved onto my boyfriends area (which is all houses and no avon reps as far as we know)

From that point, Ive not actually been assigned that territory but figured worth trying it out - people can tell me if there is a rep. Still waiting 5 months down the line for other "official" avon territory from my AM

Moral of this? Id say go for it in your own local area unless specifically told there is a rep covering x y and z?Worth seeing if delivery man makes any stops nearby? (note delivery driver did NOT tell me rep address but just pointed to houses)

OMG PLEASE DON'T do this anyone else! You can't just choose an area anywhere u like, you have to go through an ASM, how else are sales leader like me meant to know ehere to put our new reps! Think how you didn't like it when someone was in the area you were given!! If the area you have now is free ring your area manager tell them no one does it and get it assigned to yourself otherwise its so out of order!

If everyone did this no one would have decent territory and its really not a fair way to do things. Plus you could get a decent amount of customers and another rep gets assigned the area and takes them all, surely you'd be better off making sure u get assigned the area. Sorry but this made me soooooooooo annoyed as its exactly the stupidity and selfishness that makes my job so much harder. Right rant over sorry but feel strongly on this!

Do you leave a note and go back to collect the books another day? I always do this and last camp one customer forgot to leave her book out and she had a £74 order and another a £20 order and they both left them out the next day as I asked sometimes people just forget so always worth a try Stevie x

Ive done maybe 20-25 houses, all friends or known to my boyfriend so its hardly taking over an area. Ive not had any contact for over 6 months from asm despite asking for territory. Also had confirmation that no reps operate in that area from everyone I contacted. I actually do intend to let my asm manager know Ive tried to get some more customers and see what happens.
