Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

Thanks Johanne that's what I thought. I'll just stay as I am. Is there any way you can get more territory without signing someone else up? Do you have to have done it for a certain amount of time or made a certain value of sales?

It's disheartening Gloversgirl isn't it? Never mind, onwards and upwards - you never know, they might be waiting for next time.

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!

AFAIA, everyone who earns any money whether it's regular or not has to be registered for tax. Even if you end up not paying tax you still have to tell them about it.

Thanks for responding about the bags, found them so ordered some medium paper ones and plan to carry them in my huge collection of Tesco's bags!

I have another question if that's ok? I was given an area of 142 houses to start with and given some C8 brochures, I have only managed to get round 90 of the 142 houses so far and I had to place my C8 order today.

Can I still give out the C8 brochures to the remaining 52 houses or should they now receive the C9 brochures, am slightly confused as I was told I could back order from the last brochure, which is???

Really hope that question makes sense, as brain is giving up slowly.....

Thanks

Well collected from part of my new area (know one rep has customers, have a list so didnt drop to them and know another rep canvassed in september). Half expecting trouble! Out of 28 houses, got 6 'no's, 7 unticked, 7 lettered to collect on monday (1 definate order!), 5 'got a rep' (including one rep herself I didn't know about) and 1 good order of £33! One also was a 'yes' but order form missing - presume she didn't want anything this campaign but would like another book. Last one wants a brochure every 3-4 months. Bit of a mixed bag! Will try further along next week and see what happens.

Seems as though everyones had a bash at this road and I have now discovered there are 4 of us reps within the same couple of little roads! Will email SL (or is is ASM, dunno!) once I get a few more responses. Still, it went better than expected.

My brain gave up a long time ago LOL!

OK. You are currently on C8 - C8 is your current book and C7 would be your back (previous) book).
Tomorrow you will be on C9. C9 will be your current book and C8 will be your back book. You can still order from C8 when you place your C9 order.
So. If there is any part of your territory which haven't had C8, then give them C8 in your C9 campaign. The rest can have the C9 book.

Given the fact that C9 isn't a great book, if you have any territory left who haven't had a C8 yet, I'd definitely drop a C8 to them rather than a C9.

Hope that makes sense ...

That makes perfect sense, Thank you very much Claregre!!

Hi
Been doing Avon for a while but must say I think I will give it up because its actually costing me money now! Anyhoo, I returned the Anew gold elixer demo back (the £27 one) ages ago and now there trying to recharge me? I have the bar code type thing and the signed form from the delivery driver. Should I just contact my ASM? Or should I contact Avon myself?

This is the second time ive returned Anew products and the 2nd time I've been recharged :mad:.

Just email Avon via the contact us bit, stating the products in question and quote the barcode number - they should just automatically recredit your account with no problem.

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

Thanks for the quick response to my question johanne and claregre I will call the customer later and tell her the good news!!
