Ahhh help. Hoping someone is still up. My order was due in tonight at 10pm however got held up and have only just got in. When I went to submit the order it says I am ordering early (thinks Im ordering for C10). What do I do? I've got customers ordering out of C8 as well as C9.

Hi Aureol

Right just submitted it so fingers crossed lol. Im fine hows your new job going? And is the Avon fitting around it? Hows little one. We are just potty training James (left it a bit late) and he has taken to it sooo easy thank god lol. Little Ryan is 4 months old now. ANd learning new stuff everyday.

Well I am seriously thinking of giving up new job as it is playing havoc with my life! Just have not got routine settled yet, and maybe working extra hours this week, not for extra money it will just be flexi time off. A lady in our team is sick, so am having to do her work and mine... major stress! I want DS to potty train too but he's not having it! AWWWWWW at James and Ryan.

Will have to text you tomorrow. x

Can anyone join in cos I'm trying to potty train DD!

Have found C10 to be a bit on the slow side for my customers - hope some of you have done better. I seem to have collected new customers but lots of the regulars don't want anything this time. Hope its not the weather. Still - onward and upward.

Hope the potty training is more successful!

So I need to dust off and polish my crystal ball and try to predict how many reps I am going to sign up in 2 camps time. If I over-estimate I am left paying for unused brochures and if I under-estimate I have to bang in an additional order for some extra. Is that right or have I missed a trick somewhere?

ok Noglet. Best thing to do is only order the number of brochures you will need for your territory and maybe 2 extra orders of 20 each, so for example, for my territory I order 30 books and 40 books in case I manage to sign up 2 reps in that month.

If I don't manage to sign up any reps, I haven't spent loads of money, I can use the books on my territory, if I haven't covered it all, I can use it for new customers.. , or can use them for prospecting for new reps and customers . Or as Lozza does occassionally, offer them to your team (hopefully you will have at least 5 signed up by then;)) for a cheap rate of £2. Or ask your SL or upliner if they want to buy off you for their sign ups!

But don't go too mad. I did it once, I predicted to myself....:rotfl: that I was going to sign up 5 reps that month:rotfl: and guess what? :rotfl: I didn't! And these are the expired books I found at the weekend and went distributing as expired books canvassing for new reps and customers.

Yep Money Maker, the more pottys, the better...LOL. Hmm, new Avon Line, Avon pottys....

DD's are easier to potty train than DS's. Usually achieved within a week. Good luck. Maybe mine will by the time I hit President's Club

I currently have 7, I did have 9, but one was lazy, and the other runs her own beauty business, so Avon was conflicting with her business. Am hoping to sign another soon...

Aiming for that magic number 10. My SL has offered us incentives to sign reps while she is on holiday...LOL. Wine, chocolates, vouchers, etc.

To be honest I am not bothered about that, I just want to sign up some more reps and get my Avon a bit more established so that I could possibly give up my 3 day week job. It is a lot more stressful and pressurised than I was led to believe in the interview, and for the money... it so ain't worth it!
