Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Bit strange keeping the order form - ive never had that. But then i also find it strange that customers post their orders through my letter box, i also get cats returned to me as well ad the person leaves their address on a scrap of paper so i know who they are and not to go knocking, but im not complaining.

Most of my samples get returned - ive only had a few who have kept and not ordered but i have noted their address and will target sell to them on my next campaign saying, ''you've tried the lipstick what do you think? Theres an amazing offer on this lipstick on page XXX so get the full size one whilst its going CHEAP''

I've had 5 keep the order form, I checked the book in case they had folded the paper and put it between the pages, but no, definitely took it. Wonder if they shred it and then realise I want everything back?

Well I have had a mammoth read of this entire thread and you have all convinced me to give Avon a go! I submitted my details today, and I was just wondering how long it took all of you to get up and running? I don't expect miracles... just anxious to get out there and avon the crap out of my area

I have people taking order forms too!! I don't put ANY details on it, that's on a bit of paper inserted in with any offers I want to put on, might stop this every camp tho as it is wasting a lot of paper.
Am going to put the "Leave on doorstep" on the bags, don't fancy writing out on every form. Need to get my @ss into gear and get a free stamp!

Welcome to the world of avon.

I got a call from avon the day after i sent them my details. The day after that my area sales manager rang me and signed me up (since found out she was naughty for doing that) but im sure someone will be out to see you soonish.

Lyndsey80 - get a stamp now - it saves loads of time, ive just ordered mine, gonna go crazy when i get it and stamp everything, lol.

I meant to say the message section of the Rep site... I'll go and cut and paste it:

Oasis Watch Fixed Discount Error
There has been an error in the fixed discount applied to the Oasis Watch. Please see below the message that affected Representatives will receive on their next invoice explaining what action Avon are taking. Oasis Watch Fixed Discount Error
Please note that on your previous invoice there was an error in the discount applied to the Oasis Watch when ordered at the customer offer price of £5. The correct fixed discount is 45 pence as shown on the promotional flyer, and not £1.50 as stated on your previous invoice. We have made the adjustment to your discount on this invoice. If you want to return the watch please note that the ‘your price’ cost shown on your invoice on the internet of £3.50 is incorrect. This should be £4.55.

i got in this afternoon and couldn't understand why the amount to pay had gone up by about £8 ( no message in the account or note to say what) so i rang them and they told me that it had been noticed and that it was down on my C10 invoice about it-NO.all it says in my account is order correction by phone and seeing as i haven't rung them for weeks i can't understand it.did anybody notice on their invoices about us being given too much commission? i certainly didn't.avon are driving me mad.i had to email them last week as loadsa stuff was missing from the order-avon then proceeded to send immediate replacement.they missed one item from my list and i got an email to say it would be sent with C11 order-today i'm told they sent it yesterday and i only found that out when i rang them to about the previous thing.god i'm frustrated and they don't seem to bother about reps or customers

I got OH to collect books from my new territory (due to broken ankle, which isnt actually broken apparently its ruptured ligaments which is worse so I'm told ) and got two new orders, quite a few missing books but could hardly ask him to knock on doors, but was pleased with new customers, and then I go to work today and get told to go home as I am a health and safety risk due to crutches! so not very happy.

Really need to get more customers as I am losing a lot of pay as only been in my new job for a month and dont qualify for sick pay and have been told to take 2 weeks off ! Roll on new cusotmers ! lol Sorry for rant not really to do with avon but very cross ! :mad:

Hope everyone else is having a better time than me.

sorry why are we not meant to hand out the smart womens secret booklets? I got about 8 packs of them so I presumed it would be something to hand out...I hardly need 40 for myself!!
Going to collect mine back in on Thurs so fingers crossed I'll have some orders

Ah - ive had a customer phone me tonight asking if i could get her a refund of a product its the wrinkle filler that was £15 from C9.

I said ill go and collect it in the morning - ill have to refund her her £15 as ive already paid my bill.

But then what do i do with it, im not gonna be here when my next delivery arrives as it's being delivered to my mums house and i dont want to confuse her by asking to return something for me.

You can return when your following order is delivered. Sometimes you can get recharged but when they recieve the item it sorts itself out without any problems
