Hiya ladies and gents,

Well I haven't been on here for over a week so it took me while to catch up on whats happening.

Well I am having a very bad campaign at the mo. I have been having a massive string of personal problems have had to move house last minute and haven't had a chance to do ANY avon work

I have just about hit the £78 mark so I will still be earning some pennies :j

I had to move about a mile and half away from my territory, I don't drive so I have requested a new area more local to me. I think I will still keep the customers I have (as there isn't very many of them, so it wont be too hard work lugging cats 1.5 miles).

Placing my order on Friday. But none of the orders are big and bulky.

I'm really coping the next camp is better, I'm feeling quite demotivated at the moment and need a kick up the bum

Hope everyone elses is going well

Well,
I have just bit the bullet and created my flyer to give out with the brochures (next campaign) - I don't know why but I have one of those feelings that this month won't be soo good for me
Mainly becuase my flat mate normally orders and she doesn't want anything this month- I'll ask her again in a few days!

Dont be disheartened because she didnt order - my mum & sister both didnt order on my last campaign & it was my best ever!
Sadly C15 is a bad one for me but the next will be better!!!!

I've just done a flyer too....like you not sure about this campaign...
Do have three orders that didn't make C15...... biggish orders too but for some daft reason they thought the deadline was 2nd oct..... but I did state this was the delivery date..... it's my OH friends wife and family so don't want to loose the order..... I do think there are some good bargins in C16..... I think that C17 will be the best campaign.

I can see your C14 was fantastic! How did you manage to get such good sales? Is there a trick, or is it perseverance?

I agree- C17 is the one I'm waiting for!

Well here's something positive Ladies, perseverance does pay off. I left 3 books at the baby group 2 weeks ago and couldn't make it last week to pick them up, so emailed the group leader and told her I would be there today.

I went in this morning and she told me she wanted to order, but hadn't written her order down, that several mums had looked at the books but because of keeping an eye on their kids, couldn't order, 1 took the book home. So I came home, and went back armed with a further 10 books and order forms.

I came back with an order for £50 and 7 books have been taken and I have been asked to come back next tues at the end of their session to collect orders!!!!:j

So get your avon books and go to hairdressers, beauticians, baby groups, nurseries, Doctor's surgeries....the moon is your limit.

Good luck everyone.

Thats brilliant! :T

I really must look at different places to leave books but being new to the area I haven't had the guts to do it!
C16 will be the time for me to do it I think - I will make myself!

For me C14 was making sure I covered as many of my streets as I could, although I did miss out a couple of blocks of dodgy looking flats!

I have since found that on one of my streets they had an old rep who had kept her regulars but she hasn't been around for a couple of months so picked up some really high orders!

This one will be only around the £300 mark, but been ill & had quite a few regulars not order this time?

Going to put loads into C16, Covering the dodgy flats & hairdressers etc.

Im quite pleased today as i recanvased like my ASM asked (even though i had been slowly i decided to just hand out all the campaign 15 id got to houses who i had given a book to before but never ordered so i stoped came to 42 houses) and only had 9 people say they didnt want a book at all, one lady came straight outside after my daughter had posted it and said she didnt want it. But i have had 5 orders. Two of the ladys wasnt in originally when i went to collect them yesterday but have text me today to say they have orders for me and one lady came and pushed her order through my door as she was going to work . So im happy as it all comes to £73 for campaign 16 already and thats not with the others that wernt in (if theres anyorders) and my regulars.:j
