WELL DONE MELVIS:j

Can anyone help me, I am looking for my area code as I have just been given my account number :jso am trying to register on the Avon site. My SL has just came back with 50 C8 cats too, WOO HOO, I know what I'll be doing today then! I have searched all my docs and I can't find an area code mentioned anywhere, is there any way I can find out what this is. My SL isn't available at the moment.

Thanks

Thats good they are asking though :T
I got it through HT9 ( so got delivered yesterday ) I am not impressed with the concept but the actual mascara is nice on.
but the 3 clicks thing in my eyes doesn't work.

Thanks Karen

My SL contacted me and said that she forgot to write it down. All set now and registered on the site. I have 10 days left before my C8 order is due, WOO HOO. Have a credit limit of £500 too which is a huge surprise.

Managed to organise 41 catalogues to go out. I didn't print off enough slips to go in my books and as I'm on holiday this week can't print any more off (I print them from work to save me money):rotfl:Never mind I will put these out today and collect on Friday, if I get the majority back, then I can do another drop on Fri and collect on Sun. Hopefully this next drop will be more successful.

Oh well here I go...

Can you photo-copy the ones you've already printed SC? Libraries and local shops often offer a copier service.

I suppose I could, but I figure I have enough out now. I have 20 left here and I am going to drop them on Friday afternoon. I am giving people 3 days now as I have more catalogues to use.

I got an email from a colleague at work who has one of my catalogues. She said that my other colleague who brings in her friends Avon catalogue has done so and has told her she knows I'm doing it. To be honest, I have thought a lot about it and I don't see the problem in us both doing it. I have special offers in my catalogue and it doesn't bother me if people prefer to order from her. I don't see why people can't choose for themselves, I would no way make anyone feel guilty for not ordering from me! Don't know what to do now, I am not back into work until Monday but I don't think I have done anything wrong, it's not like she is doing Avon herself. Ideas anyone?

I also managed to drop off a catalogue at Au Naturale who happily accepted it for the staff room, hopefully I may get some potential customers out of that.

I had a similar problem in that one of the mums in my daughters class was already a rep when i signed up and that closed off a lot of business for me. I was honest though, and because I had a territory, didn't canvass any mums, even referring them to her if they asked me for a brochure! This has worked out for me now though, as she has stopped doing Avon and now orders from me!!

I wouldn't stop taking your brochures into work - if your colleague was a rep herself then fine, but she is only doing the legwork for her friend. People will make up their own minds if they would prefer to order from you. Nice of your colleague to give you a heads up that you've been rumbled! At least you can go in prepared if she mentions it!

Good luck with your sales.
