Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

lucyclare

Every day is a school day!!

I have just been printing out some delivery notices for a new rep to get her started and found that we can download openoffice software for free.

I am doing this now, so from now on, all flyers and stuff will be done using this software. Just a suggestion, maybe we all should that way, flyers we will all be able to open flyers and stuff regardless??

responses by reply please......

this might be a silly question you know the little thin books that came with camp 9 books? (think it said smart womans secret or something off he top of my head, they're downstairs!) what am i supposed to do with them? use them for houses who haven't ordered before or haven't got books back off them (saves wasting a book?) and do i put the orders in with camp 9? Thanks

They are for use in camp 9, but yes use them for people who haven't ordered before.

Open office software? Is that the free stuff recommended by Martin?

Just out of curiosity, how many do you have in your team now lucyclare? You seem to be doing well with recruiting.

Sadly only 11. Have signed up some who dissappear into thin air afterwards. one decided to quit after her first order of over £200?!!!! (but have three more to do by monday)

I dont know if it is the software recommended by Martin but it is recommended by Avon, its on their site.

I think that is what DH downloaded for me. I do everything on excel, all my delivery notes, book inserts for day collecting etc

And if you already have files from another office package - OpenOffice.org 3 will probably read them with no difficulty.

review here.

Excel is a Microsoft package, not openoffice

But your boyfriend may have downloaded free trial from Microsoft website.

Looks like openoffice is good just for basics, ie wordprocessing and spreadsheets. You aren't going to be doing pivot tables and look up, so should be fine.

Hi

Does anybody sell Avon stuff at local car boots/school fates? Just wondering if it is something worth doing?

What things do you order? What things do you find sell well?

What size mark up do you place on products?

(Sorry for all the questions - just looking to increase my sales/profits and the local playing fields charity is having a car boot soon so it got me thinking!)

Not a silly question at all, and anyway see my signature

As Lozza says, use them for promotion purposes, or better still, if your customers buy the same items from the ordinary book then you can order from the SWS one and make yourself a bit of extra cash and a free nail varnish (don't forget in can be used in C10 too)
