So those of you that are making about £11 per week, is that on average or would you say this is one of your worst campaigns? I am hopefully getting signed up next week and I know it all depends on the are you get, friends and family etc, but I just wondered what your average earnings are?

I work full time so I am hoping to earn extra cash to put aside for holidays etc. Any money that I normally spend on make up and skin care will not come out of my Avon money as I would normally spend it anyway, so I intend to put it all aside (bar samples, cats, order forms and bags)

I am really excited about this, I am determined to make a good go, can't wait to get my catalogues and hand them out:j

Maybe my motivation can spur you on all too;)

I don't really do it for the money so I might not be the best person to ask, I do it to buy myself little treats that were luxuries before hand.
Worst weekly amount for me it - £4
Best Weekly Amount for me - £20

But like I said my customer base is very small I don't do door to door
I have at the moment 16 people regularly ordering ( not ever campaign )
last campaign I had 4 customers order something.
But I roll with it and order samples etc on great weeks and try to keep my cost base down on the bad weeks.

the £11 a week (still £47.66 pcm) is a reasonably poor campaign for me...i have averaged about £20 a week on normal campaign i reckon (£86.66 pcm) but will be lots more at christmas i hope! I usually average about 20 orders a campaign but have nearly 70 regular customers who order.. so if they all ordered every campaign id be loaded! :rotfl:

I have 350ish houses in my territory as i have 2 territories! At present about 100 of them arent interested in seeing a book and I have about 200 houses that dont order (yet) 50 that do and about 20ish family & friends/businesses etc.

I usually pay for my stuff like a customer too.... so on delivery night say i have ordered £15 worth of stuff (brochure prices) i'll use £15 of my own money in various denominations of change as my "float" so i have change to give to my first few customers if needs be.

Hope that helps!

Hi

I am a new rep and have a couple of questions about the products in hello tomorrow. first of all do the products in there count towards your total order value or is just the ones from the regular brochure. Also do the demo products come in the regular packaging, someone has order an eye cream of me which is £17 in the brochure but £10.60 in HT so thought i could make a bit more with creative ordering but wasn't sure if this would work ?

Thanks for any advice

Yes, they do, but you won't get commission on them.

Yes, they do.

Can someone very quickly please tell me how much we need to make in sales before we get commission, is it 76 pounds? I have orders totalling 76.05!! and need to know ASAP whether I need to buy myself something to bump it up! Please can you answer quickly as I need to get this in by ten, sorry to ask : )

For me it's £78, I know it is for a few other people on here, but it may vary from area to area. hth

If you have orders totalling £76.05, then you'll be ordering brochures etc then you'll be fine as even brochures count towards your MOV xx (p.s i think it's £78 minimum) xx

Hi I had someone order it too and took us a few minutes to work it out :P

Hold pen with gray end pointing up.
Slide ring down to release.
Turn gray end to the left until the product appears at the top.
Twice daily apply directly ON lips, avoiding the area around lips.
Allow it to absorb before applying lip color.
Some individuals may experience a tingling sensation.

Hope that helps

I was collecting books today and had a customer who bought this last time. She said ooh I need to ask you something, how do you get this to work. There are no instructions, only what to expect after 2 weeks etc. I remembered someone on here had said something and was desperately trying to remember what it was, as she said if it doesn't work I want to return it as it's expensive if it doesnt work. Anyway I managed to figure it out eventually. But I think it's terrible there are no instructions.

I also asked her if she thinks the books are too close together at 3 weeks apart, and she said she thinks it would be better 6 weeks apart and now doesn't want another book for 6 weeks, even though she didn't order this time. I think I did myself out of getting an order off her next camp
