Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Coxy11

Evening peeps,

Just placed my C12 order - not great (£248.86) but managed not to spend too much on things for me this time, so hopefully will have some money leftover to put towards my holiday spends :rotfl:

Only ordered two things - a pro-to-go lipstick and the necklace on the back of C12 - if it's naff I'll send it back.

Not a great deal of orders this time around. Like others on here, I think a lot of my customers have gone away, as I didn't get books back from regulars who are usually so good.

Got a nice certificate saying I'd qualified for Associate PC - if only I had a downstairs loo to display it in :rotfl:

I am trying to order the banana and co!!!! body lotion and strawbeery and guava body wash on ht13 and it's not letting me. It's letting me order the vanilla and soy body wash tho!

I am placing my order tonight, going to knock on the last few doors of people who have ordered before and check outside some houses that haven't left them out yet, try and get some last orders.

What camp can we order from the small brochure with the free nail varnish? Gonna see if I can get any more freebies from there, I am on C12...

Im probably too late if you have a 10pm cut off but Ive just placed my C12 order on monday and I used the booklet to get the free nailpolish and cheaper spectralash mascaras too. I just clicked on back order C11 and put the numbers in. They are showing on my invoice fine and at the reduced price/free.

Thanks chinatown, I didn't have anything ordered anyway from that catalogue anyways. I probably would have tried it.

ARGH!!!! I killed myself yesterday trying to get notes out reminding people i was delivering tonight... all my contact details on there... only one person rang to say they wouldnt be in.. result!... go out tonight.. and 7 other people were out or didnt have the money out of only 21 orders who didnt have the deceny to tell me!! :mad: I have never had this problem.. worst i have ever had is 2 people not in.. urgh!!

Worst part is.. ive been sick so wasnt even going to deliver tonight was gonna postpone it to the weeken.. specially as i have a 2000 word essay to do by tomorrow night for uni which ive not finished..... BUT i didnt wanna let my customers down as i ALWAYS deliver the thursday night after getting my delivery on a wednesday...

Im so fed up of chasing customers and spending hours on paperwork for just £20 a week if im lucky!

Well I hit £500 so qualified for my free 4 treats, so need my hair done am looking forward to it.

met my first rude customer yesterday, was really annoyed, but bit my tongue and smiled and said thank you. She hadn't given me a contact number on her order form, so went around at 7pm to deliver, tried ringing bell and knocking, no answer, so left a note and went to deliver another order.

While there received a call from this customer, explained she was in garden didn't hear door. Fair enough. Explained I was in another road, doing a delivery would be round soon, went round, knocked on door and she was so rude. I felt like asking her why she was being rude but thought just leave it. I have enough stress in my life without antagonising people in the area I live in.

Well have to submit my order this evening and my total doesn't look like it's going to get much better. I have a few to collect from but I have been told by a lot of customers that there just aren't many good offers in C12. Intially I thought there were loads, but actually I tend to agree with them, C13 is probably worse:rolleyes:

I am going round this evening to knock on some doors that haven't returned their books in the hopes that I will get some more sales, not looking promising though and it's supposed to be pretty stormy later on too so not looking forward to that. Better get some sales out of it!

Not liking my downwards spiral here, my totals keep getting lower and lower!

So those of us that hit our target, when do we get these freebies? I am looking forward to the beauty treatment! I hope there are a few places to choose from!

LOL Often the best way to show them up is to be all sweetness and light - makes their rudeness seem even more crass Fortunately 99% of customers are good as gold but there's always the odd one who's rude or messes you about with taking the delivery (see my earlier post :rolleyes:)

Anyone know what the rewards are for hitting target in C10, 11, 12? Sadly, I'm not impressed with the chance to win my mortgage/rent paid for a year as I have neither. If I win, I'll draw lots for one of you to have it, but don't hold your breath - i never win anything
