    Hello peeps
    I just submitted by C17 - after a bit of a mad rush at the beginning it ended quite calmly which I appreciate... I probable won't do so well next month cause I'll be moving and panicking a lot :) but I'll give it my best shot! :D
    Hope everyone else is doing all right

    Definately ask your friends/family for their help - my Mum takes a book into her workplace so I get a few more orders that way, and my sister shows a few of her neighbours that shes friends with as they don't have an avon lady, I send a gentleman from work home with a book for his wife lol and she orders, and MIL shows her friend a book (though MIL has become a rep herself now lol so I've lost 2 customers but gained a rep)./.....ask all the people you know if they would take a book to show their mum/sister/friends/neighbours/workplace - it might be that your friend or family member doesn't want to buy avon (like your male relatives perhaps!) but they could well know someone who does! If you are on facebook/myspace etc make sure it's know that you are now an avon lady that could well lead to other people asking you for a book! Good luck - so long as you get some orders don't worry too much, within a week isn't much time - next campaign you can get more sales!

    My sister has promised me an order, my daughter work friend wants something as does a good friend of mine and I have to drop another 20is houses in my territory so fingers crossed I will make MOV.
