    If she does - just keep your regular customers on as friends & family - not very fair on the new rep - but then it would be the asms fault in my opinion!

    I have had a happy Avon day, my order arrived, everything correct and undamaged... then delivered all apart from 3 - arranged another time with 2 so just waiting on one... WOOOO if only it could always be this easy!!!

    Good luck all with your collections/deliveries etc :D

    Wow you've done really well!!!! Doing my deliveries on Friday, hoping I do ok as not making much this camp, so could do with getting them all gone to pay my balance as bought lots of bubble bath as free gifts - £20 worth lol!

  • hi all, picked up a book from an old work friend today - she had shown it to a couple of people in the office - and it came back with 3 orders! Yay!! Am on £116 for C12 now with a F&F order or two to collect and half a street of dropped books to collect! Not a bad campaign this time round (despite 2 other reps dropping on my roads!!) and it's only my second campaign!! Been given some new territory too which is good so with next camp I will be spreading my avon wings a bit further!!

    Melvis that's terrible - are they allowed to do that?!? I'd go mad if that were me!!!
    Only got 3 more deliveries to do - one is away until end of month, will try and catch the other 2 before my next order day, got a week left. Got 1 order so far from one of my regulars. I am lucky as I have a couple that regularly spend over £20 per camp!! Touch wood it continues! And also regulars who spend a couple of quid most camps. Went to deliver one order and they want to order 3 payboy watches for Xmas. I told them to wait until C13 when they will get a choice of 2 and I will keep and eye out for when they may stop, I also said I would give her a small discount if she orders at least 3, probably give her a free gift too, I feel generous!!

    Definately worth giving customers a bit of something as a reward seems to work wonders!

    She said it's because my sales have dropped (was approx £210 so not too bad IMO!!) and because I haven't ordered any brochures (I've ordered 50!!). Have emailed her back anyway, didn't call as didn't really want to talk to her after hearing her voicemail. No reply yet so shall wait and see x

    Maybe somehow she got you mixed up with something else then - as if you have ordered 50 books and she reckons you haven't ordered any?!?!?!?!?!?! She sounds nuts lol! Sales will be low this time of year with holidays etc, plus everyone is watching what they spend. Hope it gets sorted ok for you x

    Hi Kantankarus,

    I am in West Kent and have a very small territory - about 65 houses plus family.

    Let's hope for better things from campaign 13............
