Hi All,

I've just started with Avon and am busy distributing my catalogues. The lady who signed me up wasn't very imforative about the tax situation.

So I have a full time job already, and I assume I have to declare myself as self employed for this additional job. But I guess my question is does this mean the commission I earn disappears. I know i would pay tax some months later but I'mt just fearful that a tax bill will arrive on my mat that I haven't put anything away for. It's got me thinking will it be worth it?

Thanks

Hi Danielle thats a great idea
about asking the make-up artist students :j
I never thought of that, even paying them £20 a student for 4 hours is good money

I tend to add a flyer every 4-5 campaigns or when I am giving to a new customer explaining before they order foundation or lippys or perfumes to phone me first and I will try and help them with samples, at 50p per foundation I don't give them to ever customer but if someone asks for a sample I tend to give them the colour they ask for and one either a step darker or lighter. so they have an idea of colours.
It saves on returns in the long run, lippy and perfumes I always have loads of stock and until recently I gave out 2 lipstick samples every order varying it but got to hard knowing how had been given what samples so
now I plug set samples per campaign this campaign I plugged
Unscripted aftershave
Little White Dress
24k Pink Lippy
Iced Coffee
Anew 24hr eye cream
Solutions Max Moisture
Skin So Soft sample too,

It has worked though as so Far I have an order for Unscripted and I only started last night for C11 :T
Think I may try a summer BBQ for my customers and see if I can get a hold of a make up student through the college
A few bottles of wine, me and my sis can do nails and get my sisters friend to do hair and give them the full works :T:j might help boost folk before a wee holiday

Thanks for the wee tip Danielle that was a top tip

Hi all

Been AWOL for a while as trying to sort out the living room after the flood. Got my carpet on Monday and my sofa yesterday, so in the home straight now!

Right I need to get back into my Avon, spent way too much on new stuff for the house so really need to up my sales and not spend my commission:o

So is it bad that I haven't done any canvassing for C11 yet?:eek: I have been snowed under with work on the house that I haven't even had a chance to deliver all my orders yet either! I have 9 days until my order is due so I intend to leave the books for 2 days max, going to deliver my first set of C10's and C11's tomorrow, hopefully 30 of each, will have to make a couple of trips! Next campaign everything will be back to normal so I hope my orders will be back to normal. I haven't put in hardly any effort these past few weeks because of the house problems.

Lyndsey, yup, I had the call last night! I mentioned territory problems but totally forgot delivery problems. I was on the phone for about 15 minutes, disturbed my painting the edges of the hall:rolleyes:

Okay girls, I need motivation!!!!

I've ordered the loyalty pack. And already told one customer I will be starting to do this if she is interested.

I don't make anywhere in the region of all you in sales, let alone commission, so need all the help I can get. I emailed my ASM explaining my territory rubbish and need more roads. When I told OH about it, he said he was not suprised I wasn't getting many orders on one particular road, if you walk down it, you can just tell it is so not worth leaving books there, lucky to get any back.

i've a question to ask about reselling a product.if you can resell something that is cheaper in the latest campaign than the last can i sell it @ the cheaper price?

Hi Everyone. Avon newbie here. A customer has asked if the free gift glimmersticks Eyeliner in C10 is "soft" or "hard". Could anyone help please?

Echo - I order from different camps all the time, say if I am doing C10 & 11 and someone orders a lipstick from C10 for £8 but in C11 it's £5 I will order it from C11 and still charge £8. Does that make sense?

Still no replies on whether anyone has bought the loyalty pack???

I have had lots of orders for the lipstick that's 7 colours, can't remember the name of it now. Hope they all like it!! And someone has ordered a watch for £20!
