I have been met with quite a few 'secret avon reps' that my SL had no idea existed, and I really need to turn my books around faster as there no good sat on the coffee table waiting for me to give out lol. Orders are mainly from friends and family for which I am really grateful as minimum effort involved with these. Do need to shout about it at the baby groups I go to as I'm sure I would get a few orders that way, just feel a bit awkward and shy trying to sell myself.

I am on my 1st campaign and have come up against the same as you. One rep my ASM does know about as she lives in 1 of my 3 streets (but oddly enough has territory that is right round my house!). But I have found a 2nd rep working the 2nd of my 3 streets - spoke to ASM and she thought they were no longer working it. As a result I am struggling to hit MOV at the moment with only about 40 houses still to go.

Luckily my ASM does seem to be trying to get me additional streets.

I am planning to run some baby groups a campaign behind on the basis that if they take the books away and don't return them it doesn't matter quite so much.

Lozza answered this pretty perfectly but still...
a) Yes
b) Yes

Thanks, !!!!!!. In the case I am quoting the lady died suddently so if debts are written off when someone dies it seems to me that it's unfair for Avon to be showing a black mark against the widower - yes/no? Only met him for the first time last week but from what I gather they are lovely family and very well thought of in the town. Don't want to be poking my nose in but if his credit rating generally is being adversely affected unnecessarily then I would really like to help in some way..... just not sure exactly how - any advice?

Hi all, just a quick question - I have 2 small items to return to Avon on Friday. Can I use a small bag/box or do I have to use the boxes my items come in?

Thanks

As already advised, you can use anything but I was recommended to use the Avon boxes because a small envelope can get lost - not saying it does but seems logical that it might? Chances are that the van/lorry will have plenty of space in it anyway on the return leg so space isn't an issue.

One of my customers has asked me about Avon's policy with regards to Animal Testing and whether I can supply a list of products which have been tested on animals.

Can anyone help?

According to what I've been told one of the selling points re. Avon is that NOTHING is tested on animals. Yes/No - anyone?

And unfortunately some parts of the country, including where I am, isn't having any of the admin fees waived, new reps will just be on the smart start scheme as normal.

As a minimum you need to be given 40 books for your first campaign, and 40 for your second campaign this hasn't changed. If your sl won't give you any for your second campaign then I suggest you put a complaint in.

Having just been signed up as a SL I was told it was 40 books in total i.e. 20 books in C1 and 20 in C2. Which is correct pls?

Hello, I'm an Avon rep too, I joined in C18 2009 so this is my 6th campaign.
I've had orders of around £300 or more every campaign (down to £230 in C2) but for some reason my C5 order is down to about £180. Not complaining (much) as it's still comfortably over HOV but a bit disheartened as I don't know why and I'm worried in case this is the start of the whole thing trailing off.
Maybe I'm not new and exciting any more and my customers have all ordered everything they will need for a while?
Or maybe there just wasn't so much of interest in this brochure.

My customers are also not showing a great deal of interest in C5 so my C5 order is mainly back orders for C4! Creative ordering strikes again. :T

Just a quick question from me - is it the diamond mascara or normal one in the loyalty pack in HT 4? Have been catching up on the thread and couldn't see anything about it but may have been speed reading a little to quick!

As a sales leader you will only be refunded for providing 40 books in total. If you want to give 40 for each campaign it's at your own expense.
