This is a question for the girls who put campaign figures in the footer of their posts.......

Is this your retail commissions, team commissions, personal or team sales?

Just wondering as I am still quite new in Avon myself.

Hi Sarah and welcome to Avon

the figures in my signature are my personal territory sales. I am a Sales Leader and have a good sized team and earn commission from that too. I do not post my SL commission. But if you are curious, my team sold over £4,500 in C10.

Avon called me at home today to congratulate me on my sales, that I will make Bronze Presidents Club by the end of C12 if all keeps going well. That they expect me to hit Silver by the end of this year, or C2 at the very latest.

It is possible to do really well if you are prepared to work. Deliver to every single home on your territory every single campaign, even if you get fed up of them not placing orders. You just never know! I picked up 3 new customers in C10 (my 6th campaign) and all had had books every time. C10, they just ordered. I picked up about £50 in sales that way.

Demo products are another good way, especially when you are delivering their Avon. Stick to every day cheaper items and Ill bet you pick up orders. Ive sold a shed load of Fergie (22 in C10) and the Cherry ice footworks over 48 items in total in C10.

Good luck

Avon charge you 55p for a book, if you don't order any brochures.

Lose 10% your first campaign?! :eek: I started out with 20 C10s and I now have account of 6 *major eye-roll*.

But, of course, thanks to Avon's quirky system (should you so wish) you can return that one book for credit!

On the other hand, SL's trying to guesstimate how many packs of books they may or may not need for new sign-ups have no opportunity at all for returning unused books. Hmmmm.....

I wonder if anybody saw this article? I wanted to quote it but checking online http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/beauty/article-1281672/BEAUTY-CONFIDENTIAL-The-great-fake-tan-test.html, it shows only a 5/10? Anyone actually see the paper?

Hmm... that's strange, I have a hard copy of the paper and it definitely states 8/10 Having said that, there were quite a few that scored 9 or even 10/10!

Worse still if you tag a new SL from your team. Ive now got two. How do you guess that many? I can see this can be expensive. And due to two reps mucking up their damn orders on C10, i didnt get the sl payments. Hows that for nice. £11 not received.

Thanks Lucyclare for the bath oil reply, my customer will be chuffed, she said she really loved the stuff.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious, think I will take a leaf out of your book and start delivering to all houses in my tetritory. I was a bit worried that people would get a bit fed up of me if I kept putting books through when they didn't place orders, but I did put leaflets in with the option of ticking the box for no future books, therefore if they can't be bothered to tick I should keep leaving books.
Keep going Johanne, although that many deliveries must be a bit daunting! Both you and Lucyclare are inspirational!

Yes Bargainsearcher, unless they tell you not to leave a book or don't leave your book out, repeatedly, and I have some of those, always canvass your whole territory. People move, people suddenly see something they like, friends and family visit and see the book.... all potential customers.

Hi
Im a new rep as of today. I was a SL 25 years ago though so I know what to expect. I was given 30 brochures today and 30 for the next camp also. Im starting on camp 11 through choice-give me time to prep everything. I always used 30 books before on my territory so to me its my magic no. Its my SLs magic number too. Ive got to agree-persevere with the brochures. Ive always bought Avon but often go 3 camps ordering nothing then suddenly surprised my rep by ordering loads! It does depends what the favourites are for that person. I strongly believe in samples and ringsizers too-something my visiting reps have sadly lacked!
Only thing I forgot to ask today is who keeps the carbon copy of the order form. I think its top to customer and bottom to rep to pin to the order upon delivery. I forgot to ask this-is that correct?
