Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Summer-Caitlin

lozza so you you don't want to become a Sales Leader? You seem to have really good sales all the time, why not?

Nah not particularly! Don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoy doing Avon, but it's something both me & OH can do, the only thing he doesn't do is checking the delivery & the bagging of orders, everything else he will do if he is of in the week while I'm at work (he works shifts).

With working full time & OH doing shifts I don't really want the hassle of having to find people to sign up, going to see them, and then going to help them/ringing/ to help them as at times we hardly see each other anyway and that would just make things far worse. Doing extra houses won't be that much extra work and the little extra money will be quite useful - as I'm on target to get in President club so then I can get 100 books I think it is for about the same as I pay now so the costs won't be much extra either. Will have to wait and see what she says I guess. If she won't give me extra houses may have to sign OH up lol!:D

Well I've walked my socks off today collecting the 2nd half of my territory - about 90 books in total. 20 or so are clients that have ordered before and are on C9 the others are those that haven't ordered before that I'm recanvassing with my C8's - figure that if I don't get the book back then nothing lost. What's with leaving the book out but no bag :mad: - such a cheek. Also had one stroppy note saying if I leave any further books they will not be returned! Some people....:rolleyes:

Will be uploading the order tonight - deadline isn't until Thursday but want to get it stored and then (hopefully) no last minute panics. Currently standing at £376.60 so pretty pleased with that, given that lots of my regulars didn't order anything this time.

Didn't sell as many Oasis watches as I thought although I have combined sales from customers which would allow me to order 7 for myself :rotfl:

I too had two items missing from my last order plus 3 customers ordered the total radiance face perfector and Avon sent the original product in the light blue tube, so they are going back. I took advantage of the Far Away phone offer a few campaigns back (buy 5 get 2 free). Only managed to sell one (fragrance not a big seller for me) and my cover letter stated they had sent me too many and could I please return them! I will be returning the other 6 but what's to stop me keeping the other 'free' one? Will I get charged? I did this with the Crows Feet corrector and kept the two freebies back - nothing charged so far....:D

Good luck with your sales everyone, and welcome all newbies.

Yippee, picked up some more stray books today and got more orders! And a lady from work has ordered a foundation at £10, which is in the 2 for £10 in C8 - so can choose something completely free....decisions decisions:D

Decided I am going to have time off Avon this week - my heads in a mess at the min with work. Got all my orders in, will do the territory I haven't done yet when I get to it, done half the road so far, just feel demotivated at the mo, so hope when the delivery comes I can feel happy again and start delivering c10

Hi guys,
I'm after some advice. I've started on campaign 9, which my asm gave me 8 and 9 cats for. I can't order anymore cat 9 as I'm now going onto 10. I've now been given about 100 new houses. Do I start them on 10 cats? This would mean everyone is on the same cat, or is best to start them on the next campaign 11 (10 as a back order)

Just had 2 phone calls from customers, someone is canvasing on our patch again :mad::mad:

yeah that's probably the best way, splitting up your area between cats is easier and works out cheaper =]
good all round really
