Hoping the Avon oracles on here will know....

The free planet spa mesh bag was missing from my last order. Ordered a replacement and got a confirmation email 12 days ago. Just putting in current order and no sign of it online and it let me re-order a replacement as it still showed as available to do so on last invoice online. Will I get two and charged for one? have already saved the order with '2nd one' saved on (didnt get an email for that one..) im confused, doesnt take much....

You should have received the replacement by now. I would delete the 2nd one you have ordered as a replacement. Send Avon an email chasing the 1st Replacement. They may go into your account and order another replacement but it shows as code 29 when they do this. You don't want to end up getting charged for another one.

Well the Rep that I thought was going to leave has decided to quit today while I was waiting for the pest control man.

I wouldn't mind but she knew I was going to prep a load of books to bring to her to distribute today. I spent an hour yesterday prepping them, putting free samples in, an offer spend £10 and get a free gift, and putting her details on the order form.

If she had texted last night as she obviously knew then she wasn't going to carry on, I could have spent that hour prepping my own books or expired books to look for another rep.

I am just a bit annoyed because I spent a lot of time and money trying to help her, and she didn't make much effort at all.

Oh well. Next rep I will say it is hard work, if you expect customers to fall in your lap, don't do avon.

Sounds like you're off to a very good start NAS. Might be worth offering people 10% for themselves or their favourite charity for any orders they can accumulate and put your way? Just gives you an indicator of who may turn into a rep in their own right.....

Thanks MarsdenCuckoo, that's a good idea.

Did my collecting tonight, unfortunately raining hard some of the books a bit water logged despite plastic bags. Got 18 out of 30 back. 1 order and 1 note saying not this time but next. Then as I was taking books out of bags at home I discovered a post-it note saying they already have an Avon Lady who comes around

I've emailed my ASM. A bit gutted about that, hope it doesn't mean that my territory is actually someone elses. I don't even know the house number because they didn't write it on the note, so I can't go back and check with them if it's because it's a friend or something. I really don't want to get into a turf war or be taking someone elses sales.

Just wanted to share how chuffed I am! Just placed my second order and my sales total £234.10!!! I never imagined that I'd be able to get this much in orders because I don't have any family near by to help me out and not meaning to sound pathetic or looking for sympathy but I don't really have any friends to rely on either so I'm really pleased with myself!!!

Hi everyone If searched the thread but theres just sooooo much. Does anyone do avon parties and if you do can you give me some advice where to start. Do i need loads of products or just a few and loads of samples.

I'm thinking of doing a raffel (£1 a ticket) and who ever wins gets the money to spend on avon at the party

A few games with avon bits as prizes - no idea what though

What do you give the host - a set amount to spend, a gift, a percentage of the takings on the night?

any help would be great thanks x
