    No idea about returning samples sorry, but you could always put them into peoples order as a little thank you perhaps - but if you haven't heard back from your SL - have you got any contact details for your ASM? If so I'd get in touch with her asking her to get SL to get back to you asap, and if not I'd ring Avon asking them to get you SL to get in touch with you asap!

    The Spectralash mascara has been very popular, sold about 4 of them! Hopefully that means the spectracolour lipstick will be too as that would make some big orders!:D

    Hi guys... Haven't been on for ages - it takes soooo long to read all the updates and by the time I find one I want to comment on I've forgotten about it when I get to the end!!
    Everyone seems to be doing very well though. I think C9 was a good book. C10 doesn't look to bad but we'll have to see. This has certainly been my best one so far, but that' probably cos between my mum and her foster daughter they've ordered about £90 of stuff!! They're starting to stock up for Xmas so it's good for them plus me!! :T
    Has anyone tried the Spectralash yet? I've had loads of orders for it, about 8-10 so I'm hoping it's not gonna let me down... :cool:
    I remember someone saying in a past thread that they wanted to know how long replacements took... I had to re-order 3 items from my last delivery (one was in with a gift set!) and the guy on the phone said it would be 5-10 working days. That time is up now and I rang AVON today and they said it's coming with my next order. I do wish they'd get their facts right :mad:
    Having to post a letter to a lady who rang me to chase up on it yesterday as I don't have her number. Apart from the annoying things like that I'm really enjoying it. Starting to get into a bit more of a swing now but not anywhere near covering all my territory yet. It's just a time thing with working shifts.
    I was meant to go to a meeting about becoming a SL the other night but I didn't go as I'm just not into knocking on doors cold calling so I think I'll give it a miss for the near future. I registered on Flissys but there's nothing in my area at all (I'm 166) How do other SL get their leads?? Are you supposed to get a minimum each month and do they pressurise you to do so??
    Sorry for the long entry but I don't know when I'll get chance to sit down again (I need a laptop!!)
    Hope you're all okay.. keep up the AVONing :beer:

    Well, I rang my ASM and she said that she's willing to sign OH up to give us more territory that way as she can't give me any more on my own account....but as I suspected she told me about becoming a SL, with signing OH up as first rep. She told me about needing 5 people signed up before you earn anything from their sales, and there being a charge for becoming a SL. But, in her usual way she was a little vague about the actual percentages you get - could anyone give me an idea of the figures? And is there anything else you would say about becoming a SL? Any help would be most appreciated!:D She said that I can go out with her next week one morning to see how sign-ups work, but it's more the actual facts & figures that I want to know about!:D

    Hey I'm just wondering something about Presidents Club.

    Do you have to start your campaign at 1, to be able to do from 1-18? ie because I started at camp 7, can I not get presidents club? Or does it start for me -from- the next camp 1?

    Also, is it just the first year?

    And last question, does being an associate member allow you to get the offers in HT?

    There is some information on the website. If you go into 'My account', then 'My status' under the Presidents Club heading there is a fairly comprehensive run-down. Hope you'll find that helpful - I've never taken too much notice of it myself as I'm not really fussed whether i get into PC or not :p

    Just had a £63 order from one of my F&F customers :j - grand total for this campaign is around £470...........WooHoo :j:j:j

    Ooh, thank you very much, found out exactly what I needed :D I probably won't get in, but I like having -really- big, unattainable goals, I'm a glutton for punishment. Only £6094 left to go :rotfl:

    lozza - I am the same, I work full time as does OH and now with me doing Avon, it does take more time than I thought. I would love to be an SL, but I don't have a car and I don't know of anyone yet that would fancy it. I might reconsider near Christmas.

    Lol I soon change my mind don't I - seriously considering becoming a SL now!:p Figured OH could be the first sign up so that we have more territory between us, but don't know anyone else who would want to be a rep so would need to advertise! How do current SL go about finding people who want to sign up?:confused:

    I got it from HT
    and it is good but in my opinion
    it is not great.

    I have 3 orders for it so far out of my 6 :T
    but I did recommend it as even if the 3 click system doesn't work great
    it is still a nice mascara :j
    Life is what you make it;)

    Well done Elliebee, that's fantastic!! Hope I can get one camp with that amount. Hopefully I will once I've settled into my territory.
    Am so annoyed!!! Was meant to put my order in last night, had it all ready, but somehow forgot!!! I am working tonight so have brought all my stuff in to check and submit through work today, can't believe I forgot, and didn't get yesterday's offer. It's been a terrible week at work, that's my excuse! Still, I can get the offer today and as it's quiet here, I can probably get on with my order. I hate not being organised!!!
