Hiya - I have just spoken to my area manager (in Kent - I am in Nottingham!!!) and have got my welcome pack coming tomorrow.
It was a really bad line when I spoke to her, was just wondering how they allocate your area?? We are on a new estate and the road/postcode is not on many maps and the postcode is only really recognised by Royal Mail. Have left a msg for the manager, but was just wondering.
When we moved to this house I asked Avon who my local rep was but received a brochure and instructions for ordering on line, so I have assumed there is no rep in my area so I am free to canvas where I choose close to my house????
If they HAVE correctly identified where the house is and given me just the area I was thinking of canvassing, can I also canvass other roads which they have not allocated to me, provided that I check with my manager first that they are not already being canvassed?0 -
Hi, quick question if anyone can help (will catch up properly later, have been away and loads to do!!!) does anyone know, the snuggle boots (slippers) in clearance at the moment at £3 size 7/8 are they adults or childrens? my sis assumed adult and I assumed kids lol....
Thanks if anyone can help :-)Starting with Avon C6 target sales £150.000 -
Hey everyone! I am going to deliver my last set of cats this evening when I get in from work and then celebrate by treating myself to fish and chips and wine!! LOL!
I have had an order from someone for a couple of camps now and they always say they have no money but defo want the items (I have said this before) and so I text them the other day saying I have to give the items back in a few weeks and I have heard nothing. Again I stand to make no money on this camp - damn Christmas presents!! So will need the order to send back (£27!) so I don't pay with my own money. They are lovely people but it is a business.
Still got some orders to deliver too, most people are broke until pay day - tomorrow, thank goodness!0 -

i had started a round in febuary..i however took (stupidly i may add) a couple of months break...just ordering a few bits and pieces to keep the account open..will i still be able to canvass my old area or do i have to contact my SL to get a new round?
also if i do my own round do you think i should recanvass all the old houses or just stick with what it says in my calling book had ordered before?
hoping to make a few pennies for my hol next year..oh thats if i dont spend it all

With your account being left open the territory should still be yours if you haven't been told otherwise - might be worth double checking with your SL but they only normally take it off you if you leave.
As for recanvassing - I'd say give everyone who ordered before one of the current books, and then start working your way through the other houses with the previous campaigns books - that way you aren't paying out extra for books when those people might not order - but worth recanvassing as some people will have changed circumstances and with it leading up to christmas more people are likely to order.hthAvon Lady since 2009 - I help on the Avon hints & tips thread to help other reps/new sales leaders as I was helped so much by it when I first started out :A0 -
i havent actually got any brochures lol..i have the one that they deliver when you put a small order in
i am going to order some ready for campaign 18...then i will reuse those in c.1 too so that way as you say i will get the benefit of reusing the catalogue...i am going out armed with my 1 book tho..to a customer who never ordered less than 50 pound...hoping she doesnt get it elsewhere..armed with plenty of samples too lol0 -
I've just found out on my delivery date no one will be home bwteen 11:30am - 4:30pm, I've asked Avon if it's possible for them to ask the courier if they can deliver outside of that timeframe... as anyone requested something like this before?
I have no safe place to leave my delivery and work each day during the week so don't want to delay orders especially with me being a new rep!0
