Hello all, have decided to take the plunge to become a rep - woop!!

I just filled out the online form but then saw there are some SL's on here... not really sure how that works yet but I am NG3 if it means anything to anyone... Otherwise I shall wait and see - I am excited now!

Congratulations I only started 2 weeks ago and I'm still really excited. I can't wait to put my order in - I'm counting down the days!!!

I hope you get contacted by a SL soon and remember that if you have any questions, ask on here - everyone here is so helpful!

Feeling really disheartened with Avon at the moment. I am sitting on £260 worth of orders and only have 4 days left before I submit my order. I know this is still a decent amount, but after having such good totals, I am surprised to get so little. I tried to canvass some of my new territory and again I was told that some other rep already does there and has been doing it for months. I am getting do fed up of this, I have already lost part of my territory to another rep and now my new territory is being done by someone else too. I do put a lot of effort into avon and am getting very disheartened by the territory problems I am having.

Oh Summer, this camp has been rubbish for me too!! I think I will ask for more territory as I realised I don't have much and can do the whole round in a week or so!! Might see how next one goes then ask...
You've still got a good total, it's just the time of the year. I don't think I will hit HOV this time, gonna collect remaining cats tonight, order due Thursday.

i'm bloody annoyed.got my stuff this morning and i've only briefly checked it but i ordered 4 nail varnishes ( free ones) and only 1 has come.i've had to wipe stuff down as some of it was sticky-a feminine wash that is wrapped has leaked inside and the outside of that is all sticky.how can things be missing when they've been ordered? they aren't on the invoice but i defo ordered them as they for sis and mam and they were the last things i ordered.

Lyndsey what total are you sitting at just now? I still have cats to put out, gonna make a last ditch attempt at a few more orders, but I am not expecting much more to be honest. My regulars have ordered but I still have work, but I don't think many are buying.

echo - I had the same thing happen to me this campaign. I ordered a feminine wash for a customer and a shimmer brick for a different customer, they weren't supplied nor were they on my invoice. Had to tell them they were out of stock.

I am sitting on about £60 so far :-( Need to get a few bits for myself, and going to collect about 40 cats tonight.

You should definitely ask for some more territory. I am just feeling so demotivated, mainly because of my territory issues. I do think people are spending less because of summer holidays etc

Yeah, once this orders done, I will e-mail her, she is really good actually, always answers queries

Haha, slightly off topic, but does anyone think Patrick Dempsey may be having money problems just now? I've seen him advertising things on the tv, I'm sure it was two different things and he's got the smelly stuff in Avon as well Sorry, I think it's a bit much with two different things in one day, just too funny...

lol I saw him on TV too and thought Avon and TV... greedy man..

the adverts he is in are promoting Loreal mens products too...... :rotfl:


I had a customer text me at 10:30pm on saturday night asking if it was too late to order... i submitted my order on thursday and gave the customer 3 chances to collect her book! :mad: I also have another customer who I am waiting for a book from who said she has lost the book in work but it has orders in it of her and her collegues! :rolleyes: :mad: Both horrible customers i have serving but their neighbours/friends both order from me so i cant say ive given it up so wont be delivering books to them anymore :rolleyes::o
