    Your sl will provid you with brochures and books for everyone you sign during your first 2 camps as a sl, whether you only sign one person or 100. As for stationary, you'll pay £25 I think it is for your business pack but that only really gives you the t&cs no stationary, stuff like that you'll need to get yourself unless your sl helps by providing any extras.

    Lozza - a quick add up of your figures suggests you should now be Associate Pres Club. Either that or you don't take returns off. Which is it ?
    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam
  • This is my first ever post so I hope that I have done this correctly. I joined Avon last week and have received all my stuff and my C4 brochures.
    I have been given a territory of roughly 100 homes, so will have to give the brochures out in stages. I just wondered how long I should leave between dropping the brochures off and picking them up again?

    welcome to avon and the thread Bunce.

    It varies from person to person. When I first started doing Avon, I only left the books out for 3 days, as I was trying to cover quite a few houses with only 20 books.

    thanks for your tips , i have tried incentives offered a free gift with all orders over £20 just before christmas , have offered a discount if you recomend a friend, and a free gift for the highest order.

    each month i design a flyer with a short message for my customers , a list of all the freebies you can get and all the special offers - this also includes when I will be collecting the book and when the order will be delivered .

    I drop every house except those that have said they don't want a book.

    I really don;t knwo what to do for the best :(

    Don't take returns off these figures as not interested in them being mega accurate, but also my signature is mine & oh sales combined, as I like to keep a tally on here of total sales for us to see how we are doing from campaign to campaign.

    jane, why don't you have a word with your ASM/SL and tell them what you have done and ask for more territory? Where I live, I have one crescent, with about 60 houses, and 90% of them have asked me not to leave books and if I do, they just don't put them back out. So I know how you feel.

    Oh started as a rep in c10 so all figures from before then are just from my territory.


    As for how long to leave books, I tend to suggest just 2 days to start with as it's long enough for most people to look but not so long that they'll loose the book. I leave books with people for about a week now to give them longer, but I know they are interested having ordered in the past.

    how many of you have customers who pi$$ you about when you're due to deliver order? they text you 3 times to re-arrange delivery or just DON'T have the money or after texting you a few times say that they don't want the order.a new one on me tonight was a customer who told me she didn't want the cream-powder foundation that she'd ordered.she didn't text/ring me to tell me beforehand but waited till i went.the stories i could tell and i'm convinced there's summat in the air round here
