    so samples that i get for hitting £250 in the first 2 campaigns i'll get the samples in C6 will i??? thought i'd get them straight away
    The iNRDP incentives come straightaway so the LOA1/LPA2 incentive will come with your LOA2 delivery, this particular one was for a special C6 incentive.

    Hoping someone can help me - I am a new mum dreading going back to normal work and hoping there is something I can do from home - I saw on AVON that you can become a sales leader for start up of £25. I am a manager in my normal job so I was thinking this would be an idea but what exactly does it entail and will I have to pay any other monies as obviously I am not really in a position to.

    Think for what you are looking at you would need to do some market research to see if it is going to be viable for you to make a proper steady income from Avon.
    1. Need to check how many agents are in your area,
    2. how many potential customers you would have?
    3. what your potential customers average spend would be.

    Obviously there is agents on here with a good turnover who will be able to give you a better idea but In my personal opinion,
    You would probably be better to return ( initially to begin with anyway )
    to work part-time and do Avon part-time if it is a success then feel free to leave and do it full time but I think it would be foolish especially the way the economy is just now to leave a steady pay to chance a new job which isn't always a 100% steady or a reliable income.

    Good luck and I know how you feel, I have been a stay at home mum for almost 9 yrs I tried going back to work when my eldest was 1yr old and I just couldn't concentrate I lasted 3 months and decided to stay at home with my sons.
    It can be a pinch finacially but it is worth it. x x x
    Life is what you make it;)

    Quick question: Do you all write your details (name, phone no, etc) by hand on the order forms or do you use stickers/stamps?

    i was going down that route but when my 10 and 11 year old nieces came the other day i gave them a load to do cos they wanted to-really neat writers they are too!

    Doh!! I made a mistake!! Posted the Avon brochures - realised that they were going to fall out of the bags as some of the postboxes were so tight!! AND in my haste - was still nervous doing it! I didn't note down the house numbers! I couldn't get into the gardens of some cos the gates were locked and didn't want to faff about the garden in case people wondered what I was doing! And one said they weren't interested, it was only about 30 houses so I hope I remember who I did/didn't deliver to!! Oops!

    WELL DONE MELVIS - THAT'S BRILLIANT! :j

    Don't worry Lyndsey....we've all made those sorts of mistakes at the start but that's how you learn (& we're all still making silly mistakes from time to time :p)

    Hi Guys another quick question. Is there meant to be some sort of pull out sale booklet in brochure 8, I dropped a book of at a friends who told me her mum had the same one but it had a mini sale bochure in - so I'm confused could it be because my asm gave me these books as its only my second campaign?

    Thanks :D I'm well chuffed but it's taken a lot of hard work (and 17 new customers!) to get that total, it's my 2nd best total of 2009 ... hopefully C8 will be even better! xxx
