if you can get hold of your area manager or your sales leader they should have spares that you can use.

i'm waiting for a call from the ASM but i've been told by my upline (my SL is no more) that she doesn't have any C13's spare.i rang my upline last night after i left message for ASM and she wouldn't be able to get to me till the day before my order goes in ( she doesn't live near me and is fully booked up).she was gonna have a word with her today so there's a chance i'll get C14 which is better than nowt at all but i want C13 really (awkward sod i am).i don't mind paying for them if i can get some

Well out of 40 books delivered I only got 19 back which have been delivered to other houses. I have got 3 orders totalling £38. I don't know whether I should contact my ASM to see if I can get another street or 2 and maybe some more books...?

Wow! That's great :j

Apparently the average order value is £12, so you're above average. It will probably take you a few campaigns to work out how many books you need, but if you don't mind starting slowly then I'd persevere with the ones you have. If it looks like you might not get to MOV, then perhaps your SL would have some that you could offer to buy off her (or even back-order ones that she's finished with).

I order 85 books for around 120 houses, and usually have about 5 or so unused. I divide my area so that the drops get smaller each time, so accounting for those I don't get back. I do a current book drop and a back-order book one first week (Mon/Tues, collecting Thurs/Fri), then repeat the second week. Those who've ordered get the relevant book with their order.

i don't know if anyone else does this but i save my old books and sales flyers (especially the ones with good offers) and then when i have enough i do my whole area of houses that do not order with a note attached to the front saying something along the lines of:

this book is out of date but if you are interested in ordering then either contact me on..... or leave outside on your doorstep on.....day making sure that you put your name and address below............

this is easier than door knocking if you are a bit shy and also gives people a chance to look in their own time. not only that but it means that i don't feel like i have 'wasted' the books by just putting them out for paper collection!

i really want to ask my local take-aways if i can leave books there but feel a little shy as i don't often order food - must be brave and just ask - maybe i could order cheap handwash or airfreshner to offer them.......

I just came in from distributing cats and found an order for £35 horraaah! But theres no address Typical lol. I always feel bad checking the forms as I pick them up and its always a hassle getting them out the bags etc. I wish I could remember how I picked up the books, i.e piled up from the bottom or top lol!

So it could be one of five houses which isnt so bad but I will look like a right numpty knocking on all the doors haha!:p

Hi, order deadline is 10pm tonight for me. Need to get 2 orders off regulars, they are meant to be contacting me when ready! I'll have to go to them at 9pm if they haven't!!
I got an order form with no page number and think the code is wrong. It's in C13:
1482 Sculpt Liquid Spray Wax
06619 Body Oil
The second one is correct I think but wondered where they were in the cat to see if I can do some creative ordering!

Hi all,
Can someone give me the number to contact Avon, they have recharged me for a return that i sent back with the curioir on my last delivery

Lyndsey, I think the product your looking for is on page 27, 14282?

Thanks Confused.
Got another one now. It says page 42, but the page number is wrong, C13 02386 "Face Pearls" £3.00 I thought it was the illuminating face pearls but it's not?

Also, how many camps have you got before you have to give something back? That horrible family ordered something but she never has the money. Not holding out much hope for that one! But another girl ordered something and she didn't have any money and I went back a few days later and she was in a state, her ex had killed himself that day, her parents were over looking after her little girl. I didn't know what to say, so obviously giving her a wide berth and leaving her alone for a few weeks. That was my C12, am now ordering my C13, how long until I should return them, before I lose my money, it's £17.50 so rather a large amount!
Still waiting on my best customer to come back to me with her order!!! I told her I had to submit them by 9pm! Waiting until 9:15 then gonna submit!
