Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

SL has just been and signed me up - she said I should get my territory in an email early next week. I hope it's round my streets because it would be so much easier, there's also no rep that I know of covering my area anyway. Already given my neighbour a book!

Thats it - ask everyone you know if they would like a book, or know someone who would, makes them think "o yeah my friend/mum/work colleague needs an avon rep they mentioned it the other week" otherwise they might just say no x

If you log into the Avon site, at the bottom of the front page is 'Downloads'. If you go there, then you will be able to find a 'Mascara Chart'. It looks as though everything except the SuperFull is both Hypoallergenic and Opthamologist Tested. Hope that helps.

well done MissyTheCat.

Well I met my customer today who found me through Twitter. She was over the moon as I had finally managed to get her SSS spray.

And Avon have finally sent her a book with her local Rep's details, but I said to her when she is back from her holiday to contact me, if she wants to order and was recommending products for summer, ie flip flops, ped egg, and foot cream. She wears the mbt's already...lucky woman, but said she will have a look at flip flops anyway.

She did mention no book around her area, so will try and do some expired books there next week to look for another rep.

I'm just really going to be struggling to look for reps once I start work monday. I will still do my avon, DH, who I resigned back up, so my ASM said she will give me territory for him, and the girl who is going on maternity, has 3 really good customers and I don't want her to lose them, so have agreed to keep giving them books, I earn the money while she is on maternity leave, when she comes back, she can have them back.

Plus I am trying to do mystery shops when I can, we need all the money we can get at the moment. DH has not been paid properly for months and today resigned from the company he is working for.

Just wish I could get a few consistent reps. Oh well, all fun and games, hey:)

And Lozza, well done on your recanvassing. It's true, people move, especially with rented accommodation or suddenly decide they would like to try avon products.

Hopefully he can find something better - you cant run your finances when you aren't being paid regularly. Do ensure he gets the wages owing to him - employment board can help with any problems.

Well done on your new job :T

Thanks Moneymaker, he's self employed, contracted out to this company. They actually went bankrupt and reopened within a week! But meantime waiting to be paid for jobs they have completed, so they cannot pay their workers.

Told you my life was complicated!

Can't believe it! After emailing Betterware and having no reply - tonight someone has put a betterware brochure through my door!! Bang goes that one then, not had a betterware here for ages and now that I want to do it someone else has pipped me to the post! Grrrr!

PM MarsdenCuckoo, she can probably get someone to come and see you soon.

and with betterware, I believe and maybe wrong, that you are free to go anywhere? Not limited territory like avon.
