Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Aesop

No Princesswoo, you have done really well to get 2 people interested and wanting to sign up. Maybe one of the other SL's will be on later and tell you what you need to do, but think you need your ASM to help you with it. SL on here can tell you what next step is etc, but think ASM has to help you with paperwork, etc. Grrr. Hope she phones this afternoon.

oh Ladies, kept meaning to tell you. If you are ordering stuff through Vistaprint and its not free and you are paying for some of it, not P&P but items, then go through quidco.com and get £5 cashback for your purchase.

So just delivered near enough 40 cats, after trying to avoid a screaming match with some couple outside one of my houses!! Luckily I have to deliver to her on Saturday so I just put my head down and went past, they were shouting so loud and the language!! Made me blush!!
Got to my last road and an old woman opened the door and said she had a cat just last week!!!! This is the 2nd time someone told me this!!! She may be mistaken as I did deliver the last one 2 weeks ago, she may be getting confused, but it would make sense as my sales are low, but it's on my estate and I haven't had one through my door - I'd love to get one, I'd ring them straight up!!!
I hope she is mistaken and I will see if anyone else says anything.
I thought I would put door numbers on the bags so if people leave notes I know who has left them, this took a bit of getting used to as I was doing 4 roads at once!! Will see how I get on with this, not sure it's one of my best ideas!!
Got 1 sale so far at least anyway.

Hi

Wonder if anyone can help, I've just had a lady call about the Ben 10 t shirts that were in C9, she wants me to order one size 5 -6 but I'm now on C11 so can't even back order. I don't have any C9 about does anyone know what the product number was or any ideas how I can order the tshirt?

It might be worth a call to Avon. I've occasionally managed to get obsolete items that way.

Have delivered 147 books today (thanks to help from OH bless him) - I always leave it to the last minute lol before getting orders in! Best thing about a SL is the cheaper books :-) Sad thing is that I actually did a free territory and will give the customers to any rep I find in the roads I dropped to. Am I too kind lol?

Am seeing one of my reps tomorrow who wants to be a SL - yippee!

C11 does seem to be doing fairly well compared to C10 anyway...

Hi everyone,

I have just started as an Avon representative today! thanks to eeryone who has posted tips - this will be invaluable to me!

I met with the ASM this morning and she seemed nice, but did seem to rush through explaining everything, so I might have a ew questions as I go along....

I have just delivered most of my first set of catalogues, so will hopefully get some orders. Wish me luck!

Hi Ali - it's the lunatics running the asylum round here, but good fun and very helpful :rotfl:

There being football on the telly downstairs , I've spent the evening compiling a list of sales incentive ideas. Anyone who wants it PM (or email if you already have the addy) and I'll be happy to pass it on.

Hi Elliebee,

Thanks for the kind welcome! i would love to have the list of sales incentive ideas if that's ok - will PM you.

In the meantime, I have texted my ASM to ask for some more brochures - she only gave me 25, and I want to do a couple moe streets.

I really don't know what to expect in terms of orders - just hoping I get some! Have sent OH to work with a couple of brochures today, so hopefully he will drum up a few orders, but he does get a bit shy about these things.

There's lots in the 'Hello tomorrow' mags I got that I'd like personally for demos / presents / to use myself, so I can always boost my own order I guess!

I thought i might organise an avon party for some friends in a few weeks - does anyone have any tips?

Thanks for any help. Hopefully i will be able to hare a few tips of my own soon!

Morning all

Just started delivering my orders to my work colleagues today, at least I have made a start on delivering my C11 cats, do have to get out and do some territory tomorrow though am hoping next week will be easier for me as my carpet and sofa come so I will be able to prep my catalogues in the living room again (more space)

So tried the celsetial eyeshadow from HT 12 I think. I bought the shooting star one and I must say it is rubbish from the point of view that it looks nothing like in the catalogue, it is just one colour when applied although there is some blue/gold in the pot, it goes on gold! And where is the shimmer? I thought the light was supposed to catch the shimmering particles...WHERE? I will not be recommending this to my customers and will be sending it right back!

I have a couple of things missing again!!! Nothing big, but the hairdressers that ordered £64.00 worth is a charm down, shame really as I hate to dissapoint when I get big orders.

How is everyone else doing?
