Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

Yeah if you have a safe location - like a shed - then your delivery can be left there, and if you have any returns you can put them there and the delivery person will take them away with you. They will deliver at about the same time as they did last time, they have a set route, so allowing for new reps/reps leaving it will be roughly about the same time (mines anywhere from 7.30am to 8am). If you didn't give a "safe location" when you were signed you, you can add one onto your account online.

Just submitted c9...... was only £800 so £300 off my target - which would have put me in PC this camp... Oh well least i know i'll make PC in camp 10.

Did anyone else find C9 was slow on orders?

Congrats - for next campaign!

C9 was quite good for me, the AT products at 3 for £5 and sun products at 3 for £9 went down well with my 'lot'.

Yes they are given to a specific courier. In my area (261) it is express parcels. It should be on your welcome brochure you filled out when you signed up. If not, contact your ASM or SL who signed you up.

You should have been asked about a 'safe place' to leave the parcel if you would be out. If you have one, it will be left there.

Alternatively you can nominate an alternative delivery address when sending your order.

Best to have it go to your house so you dont have to carry it home though.

Thanks, I'll look into the safe place bit on my account. I don't actually have a safe place because there's no access to the shed from the street, but perhaps I could put the time I'll be out, and hopefully he/she can re-jig the route if necessary.

ETA: Ah maybe not, there's not enough space to type it :-/

If you drive and your work place will allow a delivery, you can change the delivery to your work place.

Alternatively,if you have any family/friends that may be at home that day that can take delivery for you? give their address.

Or if you have nice neighbours like me that will take it in, you can advise this.

On occasion if no one has been in on either side, the courier has delivered it to the nearest rep to me and left a note. But I still had to walk 2 roads carrying boxes, which wasn't funny!

£800!!???? how on earth do you get that amount on a regular basis???

Johanne has a very large territory give to her by her ASM and has recently been given more territory.

My SL contacted me the other day to ask if I wanted more roads and I told her I thought a Rep was doing one of the roads, but it wasn't showing as assigned on SMA, and she was going to contact my ASM about the other road I wanted to do. Still waiting to hear from either what is happening.

My poor Rep who wants to take maternity leave is also going to be receiving a call from the ASM about taking maternity leave.

gosh, just went to look at SL Forum and flissys for info about factory shop and it's all negative stuff everywhere!

Anyway, the Factory Shop is based at Northampton, where Avon is. It is a combination of the Factory, so you can get to see how the boxes are packed, and items selected, etc, and there is a shop which is only available to employees who work at Avon. It sells Avon products at discounted prices.

I have been told though that some ASMs run competitions, and their best sellers can win a trip to the shop. My SL won a trip there but I seem to remember her telling me she was only allowed 20 mins in there. Someone else has suggested asking your ASM if you can go to the shop and factory to look around and if there are enough people asking your ASM MIGHT make it so. Mine definitely won't for me...lol.

Thanks but too late for me - deleted the email I received just to be on the safe side!

I have just asked my ASM about it and if a mob from our area can go. She said she went when she did her ASM training and the factory shop is ace. She said it is silly prices.

She will ask DSM if we can go for a jolly.
