Don't be disheartened people!! It's the summer and people are probably spending money on other things. Bet it picks up come September and we will all be happy again!!! xx

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!

my letter told me c14, I am currently on c13, so another 2 months I guess.

My customer today told me she is moving next month. Gutted as she always spends about £20 and her orders always give me a chance for creative ordering.

Had another 3 do not leave yesterday, hours after I delivered the books :rotfl::rotfl: I have to laugh as my life is not so good at the moment.

My SL has suggested I become and SL and she said the xmas catalogue should give us all a good opportunity to earn money. Let's hope she's right.

You can put her as F&F if she is not moving too far away...

Like Lyndsey said, I'd use F&F too if she isn't moving too far. It would be nice if you could retain her

It is funny tho, this is my 1st campaign and I did 20 books to territory as I had to rule out a week of this campaign due to Uni essays being due. The rest of my books went to work and neighbours. I'm chuffed as can be that I've achieved £150 from the sales I have got so will get some free samples. But, reading on here, some of you are despondent at only getting £300 lol. Perhaps I need to raise my expectations?

Happy Girl - LOL, I guess I shouldn't be complaining really as I know my sales have been pretty good, for me though I started off on a high as my sales were much higher than I expected, they have steadily decreased since then and I guess that is why I feel demotivated. Every campaign recently has been quite poor compared to my earlier sales. I think my territory has had enough of Avon just now and I am sure they will buy more when it comes to Christmas. I do have a few regulars that never let me down and always order something. I still have to buy myself a few things too this campaign so that will bump my total up a bit:rolleyes:

I had a long list of things to buy, then realised I would be silly to spend all of my commision lol. Decided to treat myself to the pink Playboy watch cos I love it, and also in the hope that people might go "oooh that is a nice watch" and I can lead that into a conversation about Avon and an excuse to give them a book

Also going to order loads of samples of the Christian Lacroix smellies, and stick the womens and mens samples onto a postcard highlighting the special offers in Campaign 13. I can't see a value for all the products in the beauty bag, but will buy the perfume for me and sell the free products at a party at a later date hopefully

Just about to start entering everything online now, but not liking this thunder!

I did ask her if she was moving somewhere nice, and this was a genuine question as sometimes I am not sure about the area we live in and she has kids too. And she said they were moving nearer to her husband's job to make it easier for him to get there. So understood that to mean he is currently commuting to work.

Never mind, will just have to find another one...

Well hopefully the new person that moves in will spend as much, if not more, than your old customer x

We had thunder earlier and I don't like the look of the sky at the moment, completely dark grey and I have to collect in the last of my books this evening. Might go as soon as I get home from work as I heard that it is due to pour later on!
