i'm on C9 now ( got C8 delivered yesterday).i've not checked to see stock availability but it was just the fact of me missing out on the commission for the higher rate :rolleyes:

i just spoke to a lady who said she'd seen C7 book a while back with the empowerment necklaces in and wondered if i could still get them.she wants at least 12 but it bloody means i'd have to pay for the additional order and not get my 20% so i don't know what to do as i'd hardly make owt.why can't avon have those kinda items to be ordered in every campaign?

I have just checked Brochure 10 and they aren't in that either
maybe worth phoning them and asking if they are going to feature them again as you have a request.

I've just checked through my old brochures (yes, I'm a real saddo & keep one of each )

It seems to have disappeared around C2 or C3 last year, so you may find it hard to get. If it's any help, it seems to have been in the 'floral/fruity' sort of range, so perhaps something like Wish of Love, Wish of Luck, Celebre, or Always might be an acceptable alternative.

I don't think you get commission on them, so it wouldn't be worth doing in that case, as you'd make a loss :eek:

Keep your eye open for them to come up as an 'end of line', as even the charity items sometimes do. In any case, I find that customers are always dead impressed if I remember that they wanted something and ask if they would still like me to order it (not, of course, mentioning that I'm getting it cheaper )

you would't get any comission on those anyway...as its a charity item monies go straight to the charity
you know sometimes it worth swallowing a little and gain a new customer

the only place where you would be able to get that perfume is ebay or the avon wanted section (be aware there are alot of cons on the wanted section)

Thanks for that. So is there any pressure to get reps or as you say are you ok just going at your own pace?

own pace your asm or sl will be training you initially and has to provide you with all brochures /paperwork for your 1st to campaigns as a sl.

plus

once you have a steady team of minimum 5 reps you only pay 48p for a pack of 5 brochures as you will need plenty for signing up new reps.

i would advise anyone interested in becoming a sl to register on www.flissys.com a sl forum with the best support ever, huge document library, plenty of ideas and the ability to buy leads in your area.

thats how i build my team i dont have time to prospect in the streets. also bit shy when it comes to that so i buy and sign those people immediatly

sorry i couldn't get back sooner.thanx for all the comments re the necklace.the lady concerned does get a book from me but has never ordered.i decided earlier on that i'd order them for tell her but tell her there would be a £2.50 charge.just one question tho.would the order count towards total sales figure?

lyndsey80

Had my ASM over last night and she was impressed at the first order amount and said my area used to be one of the top earners!! Hopefully it's still like that.
So I am a little confused as to what to do now. I have only managed to get through half my territory on C8 - had 1 1/2 weeks. She has now given me C9 and I am to order C10 with my order.
I thought I could send the C8's out to the half of the territory I hadn't got to, but not sure I can order for the brochure when I do my next order.
Want to give the half I have done the C9's as it makes sense to follow on, but now I'm in a tizz over how to work 2 brochures?!

Summer-Caitlin

Lyndsey - Give the half that you have done the C9 brochure, and the half that you haven't done the C8 brochure. This is exactly what I am doing. You can order from both when it comes to placing your C9 order as you can backorder one catalogue. When you get your C10 cats give those to the ones that just finished C9 and the ones that just finished C8 give them the C9 cats and so on.

Does that explain it? Btw did your sis place an order yet?
