Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

melvis

I sold 3 x Locroix Rouge, 4 x Bond Girl (maybe 5?) and an Ungaro for her before Xmas but none since, I have had an order this time for the 2 for £12 ones though xx

Wow that's really good! Gave out lots of samples with my last lot of orders so maybe in a campaign or two's time I might get some orders *fingers crossed*

I've got lots of samples to give out this time round so will see if I get any results from those

I'm getting scared about collecting tomorrow already!! I sweat the small stuff and am getting bothered by the fact I didn't note down the numbers I did and didn't deliver to! I hope people leave them out on the doorstep! And I hope people don't tell me off for bothering them - I hate rude people! We are only trying to make a bit of money, after all!

I give out lots of samples too and have sold a fair bit of perfume
Little Black dress x 2
ungaro for her x1
make me smile x1
fire me up x2
make me wonder x2
full speed x1
Tahiti Holiday x1 ( and I have ordered one )
brazilian beat x1
50's glam x1
60's mod x1
soft musk gift set.

this has been since October which I think is okay,
I do plug my scents a lot by giving out samples
I wish they had a sample for the new patrick Dempsey scent as it smells gorgeous, I am not normally a fan of male scents from Avon but that one smells so like safari by ralph lauren ( I buy this for DP as I love it )

Caitlin, I wouldn't be guilt about your work mate either, at the end of the day, I give my sister a brochure to take into her work but if one of her workmates started doing it I would back off.

Colourwise for the foundations I would try some samples first,
I always advise my customers to order 2 samples the campaign before the order foundation as at £10 I want them to be happy so would prefer to give them a sample and know they have the right colour.
I bought magix 2 months ago and I loved it, although my skin is really terrible so it feels a bit flaky come the afternoon.
I am going to try the colour tinted magix though and see if it is any better.

I do use a lot of Avon stuff now so I can give personal feedback on the products. Customers like to try them too so having bought from the HT demos is great to allowing the to sample the stuff

Lyndsay it won't be as bad as you are imagining, and if someone is rude, just shrug it off, for 1 rude person you will have 50 nice polite people.
My suggestion in fiture is use your calling book and write the house numbers and add a / next to the ones you have dropped off at and when you pick up add a \ so it crosses is X makes life much easier
Tip from the pizza shop, when an order was ready we added on diagonal line and when the order was sent we added another diagnonal line in the other direction so it was crossed off.
much neater and easy at a glance to see who has what.

Good luck guys xxx

The stupid thing is that I had the order book with me and even started putting the B where I had dropped them for the first part of the road, then got flustered and just wanted to post them all! I need to learn to take my time. There was only about 5 houses out of 30 that I didn't deliver to, some I couldn't open the gate! (I am VERY scatty sometimes!) and 1 house said they weren't interested and I remember that one, so it's not all bad.
At least the weather is nice, makes it more enjoyable!

Hi
Can anyone recommend an alternative to the discontinued Lip Plumping Lip Colour Buff? Have a couple of customers who used it a lot and want to suggest something else. Thanks.
