    You could always try just selling to friends family and work colleagues, I have a rep who does this and sells as much as me, and started with a small territory last month. I work full time and find this fits in nicely round my shifts, and quite a few people on here juggle Avon with looking after their kids. You may as well give it a shot, if you don't out an order in then you don't have to pay anything as there are no upfront costs, so nothing to loose by giving it a shot! X

    Fair enough, I was just curious, sorry if it came across badly.

    No offence taken or meant by my reply - might not have worded my reply fantastically well lol as have had an awful cold and been struggling getting some reps to pay their bills!!!:mad: All sorted now though, and thankfully my cold seems to have nearly gone :T

    Hi everyone,

    Haven't posted for a while, but in a bit of a dilemma.

    My sister's school is having a Mums and Daughters pamper night on 11th March. She's on the PTA and has asked whether I'd like a stall for £5. Bargain.

    I've just put in my C3 order but didn't order any clearance or 99p (from book 2) items this time, as I'd have to pay for them in 2 weeks time and obviously I don't have the money (even if I send them back for credit after the event).

    Can someone who is on C4 or C5 please enlighten me if there's any decent clearance items for £1/£1.50 in HT. I'm looking for bath and body products and jewellery, rather than make up. Just hope I haven't missed a good opportunity to order tonight - even though it would mean flogging a kidney to pay for it in two weeks time :rotfl:.

    Thanks guys.

    Coxy

    Well I'm very surprised at how well my C3 has turned out to be!
    After several campaigns of doing Avon, my ASM finally sorted my problems out with my territory (turned out my SL gave me the wrong streets that someone was already covering!) and as a result I have had 2 new customers, and my usual customers placed big orders. I was on the verge of quitting so I'm really happy.

    My asm gave me two more streets a few days ago. I had to inform her that they are already covered as I checked with the people who do them and they both said that they had had the streets for years!!!! :mad:

    Asm denies it, she said they don't but I am not taking on two angry reps to earn a few pounds :(
    Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

    Hmmm we didnt order last campaign, and just noticed on the website someone ordered some tealights by phone which were OOS in the last campaign , we have got a new ASM do you think they ordered a OOS item on our behalf ??

    Whats all that about are they allowed to do things like that ?

    deanos, SL's were encouraging their teams to order something, even if it was only 99p to keep their accounts active and to ensure they got their bonuses.

    However, we are only ALLOWED to put through an order for a Rep's account if we have their permission to submit their order. For example, a few months ago, I had no internet access, so I called my SL and asked her to put my order through for me. It would have shown on my records as SL Internet, which means she had submitted my order, but she HAD to have my permission to do it.

    Contact Avon and see if they have a record of who put the order through.
