Just spotted a small order for 0.00 put through on my OH's account, which I have asked to be closed as he has resigned.

Nothing is on it wonder if it was processed to try and make sure I got my bonus, but I don't think that is going to happen. 2 resigned, one in default on her payments, 2 not put any orders in for 2 campaigns, not even small ones.

Hey there,
Wonder if anyone can help me? I requested credits for a couple of items that I couldnt delivery back in December and it's come to the time for them to be recharged to my account. Can I re-request a credit, because some of the items are sitting at home waiting for my friend to come home from the Navy (should be beginning of feb I hope :beer:), I dont want to let her down by sending them back, but I cant afford to pay them outta my own pocket. But when I went on line, I can't see anywhere where I can re-request credits.

Please let me know asap as otherwise gunna have to return them

Thanks guys xxx

I'd like to, but is it really hard? I'm a rubbish salesperson.

No you dont need to be a salesperson at all, I have done well - ish so far and I am quite shy and nervous!

The best way to begin is to start by listing friends and family (F+F on here!). These people will be your solid base for the first few months whilst you canvass people either door to door on the territory your assigned by your sales leader, or people from creche, nursery, gym, pool, weight watchers, work, etc.

I would say to generate around £50 income per campaign you will need a steady 10-15 customers generating around £200 of orders. Any more is a bonus?

Good luck, I gave it a go very uncertain, but I love the money I make for spends on make up, etc for myself! x

No, the process is credit, then recharge if you don't return the item, then recredit if you do then return the item. A recredit whilst you still hold the item at that stage isn't possible.

Slightly left-field question....

Can anyone tell me the sizes of the Avon paper bags (the ones used to deliver to customers) please? I'm trying to work out what sizes to order for my very first order (I only have 13 orders so far!!).

Thanks very much!

Hi. I am planning on signing up as a rep shortly (seems ideal to fit round 3 kids aged 4,3 and 1 – can build up the business as they go to school and playschool). I have read through this thread and picked up loads of info – thanks to you all! However I still have a couple of questions.

How often do you re-canvass your territory? Do you do it in full every campaign? I was thinking that if I canvassed an initial territory a few times I would then get a fair idea of who is likely to order and could then focus on them every campaign. I could then get an extra bit of territory and canvass each territory alternately (with established customers continuing to get a book every campaign). Does this sound realistic?

Once I have some experience as a rep I might want to consider SL. In the same way as I have gone through this thread to get a realistic idea of what is involved and what the returns are as a rep - is there an SL forum that I could lurk on to get some idea of the issues, etc so that again I would be going into with my eyes open.
