Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

panambi

Hi all, well a week after I started putting my books out and I have orders totalling £231!!! Well pleased, got some more to go back to tomorrow, one said she will ring me with her order and one will drop her book and order off at my house, and I will put the 21 cats I have at the moment back out today as well for pickup Weds. My order date is not until the 8th May so still plenty of time to get more orders in. Quite a lot of big orders of £30+ so really - what credit crunch? I guess this street hasn't seen a rep for a while or something... These orders are all from the territory, so far done about 80 or 90 houses.

WOW, Avon Salesleader and panambi, you have both done really well. That is a huge amount of orders. I am hoping to have one last push before my order date of Friday 1st. I have only done half of my territory so I am hoping that next campaign I can double my sales by doing all of it. The highest order from one customer has been £30 so far.

The online traffic light indicators give a good idea of what is likely to be available, obviously they can't guarantee that something will still be available by the time your order is processed though.

.........but if something is shown as out of stock, leave it on order as it counts towards your total order value

because i hit my target of over £250 for my first 2 campaigns i got my freebies today :T loads of them too.i'm glad to hear i'm not the only person who'd been sent a wrong item/not ordered summat.they sent me a glimmerstick in totally the wrong color and i dunno how.it's a similar shade to the one i wanted so i'm gonna ask customer if she wants it first.last week i was taking post it notes from the old books and just happened to see a 'no more books thank you' on the BACK.gonna have to start knocking again and not taking any chances cos that person might decide to keep future books if they think i've ignored the message.i can't even narrow it down cos i don't remember what campaign i got the note off

Summer-Caitlin

echo, what kind of freebies did you get? I am hoping to hit that target on both campaigns but want to know whether you think it was worth it for the samples?

Thanks

Thanks Summer - am hoping for a few more orders this evening, and my sister still hasn't looked at it yet. Hopefully I will get enough cats back to do one more road. I have to order by 10pm Thursday, so figured if I put them out tonight, collect Wed and then have the stray ones Thursday, with a note put through on Wed saying that I am ordering Thur?

Summer-Caitlin

Lyndsey that sounds like a good plan, I am going to put some more out on Tuesday, didn't think I would but I thought I might as well try just across from me which is about 24 houses, I have enough cats that I can do that so will give it a go.

I'm off to collect c7 & 8 brochures in a minute from 30 new houses - wish me luck ! And it has just decided to start raining now just my luck lol.

Hi!!! Haven't been on in a while - went out collecting in books this morning with OH in the pouring rain, wasn't much fun but got quite a few more orders! Will have to add them up tomorrow and update my sig - but one lady has been very creative!!!

She's had a C8 book, ordered the new facial filler serum at £20, so she would get to choose one of the free bags......she's put down for a thermafirm face cream at £20 as being her free gift!!! Obviously she got completely the wrong end of the stick lol! No phone number either (she never puts on) so had to do a letter and get OH to pop the book back through, hopefully she won't go funny about it!

For the query about the free items when you reach £250 on your first campaigns:

You need to get £250 on your first, and in your second campaign to get that freebie,

then again £250 on the third, and £250 in your fourth campaign for that freebie and so on.

The samples I got from qualifying in the 1st and 2nd I was really pleased with, was a bit disappointed with the last ones I got though, the organiser isn't that great, and they did give me quite a few Anew samples, but only ONE of the radiance samples, ONE of the max moisture, and ONE of the ageless! Really doesn't seem like they want to push sales of am/pm stuff in my opinion!!!
