Urgent - First Order Query

Hi Guys,

Can someone please help me? I am just putting my first order on and wondered if I need to order the bags that you deliver the products in or if they come automatically with the products?

If I need to order them, can someone please tell me what code i need or where i can find them?

Thanks

If you've ordered the rep bag it comes with some medium bags. Otherwise you need to order them. They are in HT, medium papaer bags (very thin, only hold a couple of bottles) 92478, 65p for 50, large paper bags 92486 99p for 50. Medium plastic 92510 3p each, large plastic 92494 6p each.

Hi Vicky & welcome :beer:

You need to order them. I would suggest initially 1 pack each of paper bags in sm -92502 (45p for pack of 50), med. - 92478 @ 65P, & lge - 92486 @ 99p.

You could order some medium carrier bags too - 92510 @ 3p each, and possibly a couple of large (depending what you have on order) @ 6p each.

You will find them on the 'samples, sales aid, stationery' tab if you are ordering online or in your Hello Tomorrow magazine.

Personally, I use supermarket bags to contain the paper bag with the goods plus the new brochure, any samples etc. It keeps everything together and dry, and you can loop them on your arm so that you can carry more. For larger orders I use an Avon carrier bag.

Hi

I've spoken to my ASM about more territory. She says the only way I could get mre is if my husband signed up too, but I did the work. She also said I don;t have to be registered as self employed because it's not a regular income. Is that right? SHe said only the SLs need to be registered. She seems quite keen to get my husband signed up and to be honest it's a bit off-putting!

I'm hoping that you knowledgeable ladies can help me with a customer query please?

In the skin-so-soft range moisturising dry oil body spray, a customer asked if Avon still produce this in the Woodland Fresh fragrance in 150ml spray. I've looked at 2 brochures and can't see and wonder if the 'Soft & Fresh' has replaced it? She said it was an anti bug spray.... any ideas??

Thank you

johanne

yes inaminute soft and fresh has replaced it and it still repells bugs


pinkpig08 - this is the common speil off asms and some sls... end of the day they are NOT the taxman so have no right to tell you that really. If you read your paperwork you will see you are SUPPOSED to register, afterall you are running a business... you are buying goods and selling them on therefore you are running a business so should register as self employed. So to be legal and above board you SHOULD register. Also if she signs up your OH he will need to register self employed too Oh and she is keen cos it gives her another sign up on her books! meets her targets then!

Yes I believe that "Soft & Fresh" is the new name for Woodland Fresh. Soft & Fresh is the anti-bug one.

Whoops - Johanne beat me to it!

Don't worry about the two week campaigns - what I did last year was to just give people a brochure in with their order (if they had ordered the previous campaign), if people didn't order the previous campaign then they didn't get a brochure. Meant my sales were lower - but just before Christmas I didn't have enough time what with visiting relatives, shopping, writing cards, wrapping presents etc etc!

Then the following campaign everyone got a book, as that 2 week campaign was in January so I had more time then with it being after Christmas. Just do what you can, even if it means some customers miss a campaign.

Gotcha - thanks Lozza.

I am constantly worrying that my ASM will think that I'm not canvassing enough ... !!

Did a walk round new territory last night and doesn't seem too bad. Big houses but not too posh looking! Just got to write up my call book and then I'll drop next week or the week after.

On a completely separate note one for Lozza ......... hope this doesn't happen to your greenhouse!!!
