    Heya guys, Ive been reading the thread with interest. I have been debating starting doing Avon, my friend does it and I order from her and think I could be making the money myself on my orders. We have had a few different avon ladies on my estate in the past but dont know if anyone is doing it now, if they werent I might be interested. I currently do Partylite and Betterware aswell as working fulltime so wondered whether its even possible to fit it in to.

    One of my customer has put the watch down as a freebie cos she spent £10 :mad::mad:

  • melvis I had the same, one of my colleagues thought the watch was a freebie for spending £10 on make up. She didn't write the watch down, but was surprised to not find it in her bag.

    So I spent the majority of yesterday evening and this morning delivering my orders. I must say I am really happy as I only have 4 orders left to deliver and one of them I don't know who ordered it, so I am hoping that she contacts me herself.

    I also put out 19 catalogues from C9 this morning and obviously all my customers that ordered, have their books too. I need to work out how many customers I have left so I can see if I have enough time to cover everyone. I think I may have taken a bit too long off:rolleyes:

    I am already thinking of what kind of things I can offer for Christmas!!!

    Hope everyone else had a nice day, it was really sunny here!

    Placed my C9 order last night, got a few more orders and including a few bits for myself and cats I made £250 (just). Also put 60 C10 cats out in new territory yesterday. Cant wait for Monday to pickup and put some C9 cats out - and eagerly awaiting delivery day (Thursday). In the meantime enjoying the hot weather and sunshine!

    Can't you walk up and down the streets for a while:rotfl::rotfl:

    It would certainly be a good way to 'up your income' ! ;)

    Well.....it was a great success this morning going out with the ASM....got a lady signed up already! So with my OH I only need to get 3 more which I am really pleased about :j Though the lady doesn't have the internet so will have to order through the post....so I'm not sure if that will affect anything? I have a feeling it means she can't backorder - is that right?

    Didn't have much chance to ask ASM as was a rush to get me back home in time in order to leave for work lol! My sales leader pack should be coming through the post, paying the £2.50 to have it delivered so hopefully should be here by the end of next week with any luck!

    Lozza - I'll still be lozza1985 on flissys - assuming I ever get a password that is!!!:p ASM has given me some cards to put my details on to give to people/put through doors....but I haven't got any ones for expired brochures (as at the moment all my brochures are in use!) - but does dropping expired brochures generate many leads? I'm all for trying it as it gives me a way to get rid of brochures though!

    And the best bit is.....I've been given the next HT for OHs sign up so can have a read of it tonight at work instead of having to wait for my delivery on Monday :D I'm easily pleased lol!
    Great news, well done! Your lady can always order by phone, she can backorder that way.

    Hi everyone - have been signed up today (by charliedavis *points up* :D) however I forgot to ask which streets I am meant to be dropping my books off to. Am really keen to start so any advice would be great. I know my street already has someone but am unsure as to how I find out where I need to go?

    Thanks!

    Hiya KatieJane

    Sorry - non stop appointments yesterday - will let you know when I've heard from the area manager - the territory I had for you originally was near your Mum's house rather than yours due to the address mixup!

    By the way - fab to meet you! xxx
