Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

lozza1985

Had a nice surprise today, tried ringing a lady about delivering her order (been a week now) and she was in! She said she wanted to order some suncream for going away in 3 weeks, I said I had to put my order in today unfortunately (isn't until Tuesday really but I always like to submit early) so when I took her order she ordered £10 of suncream! So even though I lost a bra & knickers order yesterday my total is slightly higher

What is everyone doing this bank holiday? OH is on night shifts so haven't been able to do much, went the allotment this morning and planning on putting my feet up and having a drink later!

Hi Guys, I'm on night shifts so hardly got any time before out again for work... 4 days off after tonight tho, can't wait.

Feel like I haven't posted in days and everyone else is so regular!!

SW, glad you're feeling better and Lyndsey80 - hope the knee heals soon.

Everyone else, your sales all seem to be going really well! :T
Hope I can manage to keep up with you all... I've got my brochures almost ready for the start of the split territory down the middle and also new canvassing so hoping that it'll pull in some new customers...

And.. Looked at my invoice and it looks like even the things that had a red cross by them are actually coming?! What's that all about... Not that I'm complaining :rotfl:

Anyhow, I'll keep popping in to read the updates, I love all the ideas on here... Take care and for those not working this Bank Hol - enjoy!! :beer:

I've still got 2 orders for people who are never home, new customers so not sure if they still want the orders. Already credited one new customer order as went round 3 times and even when the front door was slightly ajar and I rang the bell they didn't answer i give up with some people :mad: xxx

How annoying! Are they large orders? I hate it when people don't put a phone number....there's one lady who never puts her phone number, is never in when I go to deliver (even though I put notes through a week before saying the time slot I'll be going) and when she rings to re-deliver she puts a block on her phone number so that it shows up as withheld! I mean, what on earth am I going to do with her phone number! It isn't like I don't know where she lives lol!

The one i credited back was only £3. The other two are £11 and £17 :rolleyes: I also have an order for £21 for a regular. My order came a week gone friday, I went to her house Friday, Sunday and Monday and no one home. Finally caught her on Wednesday and she had a go at me as she'd expected me Friday :mad: and now she has no money so I have to take that one Tuesday now :rolleyes: xxx

Lol there's no winning with some people!!!

I'm starting my new territory on Wednesday so not really sure how that will go. It is quite a large street so thought I would do 20 or so to start with and see how it goes. Two of my customers live there already so quite hopeful for more orders. I haven't really had any new customers for a while and think that the Oasis watch will be a big seller - heres hoping!

Good luck with your new territory! I reckon C9 is going to be a really good campaign, the watch looks lovely, and when I mentioned it to my sister last week she said that she had seen an advert on tv (haven't seen it myself mind you) but certainly a good sign I hope!

Hi LozzaB

You are a new sales leader , how is it going?

Oooh sorry, I managed to miss this

It's okay, I got 3 sign-ups in my first campaign but haven't got any so far in my second. I'm a bit stuck having 2 very young children as I can't really go out on the high street prospecting for new reps.

My plan is to build it up slowly though and go for quality over quantity in the hope that my team aren't timewasters or drop-outs. I can really go for it once the kids are at pre-school/school but that's a long way off still.

Thank you for asking
