Hi cattyfingers.

Reps only used the current book and the previous book.

for example, I am on campaign 7, and I can still put out campaign 6 books.

You cannot put out campaign 5 books to order from. Sales Leaders use these as expired books for prospecting for new reps.

So my C7 has to be in next Wednesday, I can also submit my C6 at the same time on the same order.

Does this make sense?

yeah i think so, my C7 order deadlines not for another two weeks is that because ive started it later than you??

it means you are on a different mailplan to me. I am pretty high up the list. They put everyone around the country on different mailplans - this means that your due date for orders is varied, so that they can send stock out to each person.

So you can put out C6 and C7 books but not C5 or anything older.

so guys if you are working previous campaigns eg 6 or 7 how do you know what your deadline is for placing an order. Is it just auto 3 weeks from when you order those books or do u just create a deadline yourself??. This is the only part that confuses me a little because what if you use a really old campaign and the stock is no longer available or the deadline has past.

Our deadlines are set by avon's order dates. From what i have read, the camp dates change all over the country. (makes sense really).
What you have heard us talking about back ordering out of the previous brochure. Its a rolling back ordering system. If you are currently on C7, then you can back order out of C6. Next time you are on C8 you can back order out of C7. its the same with the Hello tomorrow brochures.

Good luck with it and keep going. Your first order can be a bit of a muddle but it will come, honestly.

I have had a customer order this cream too, if i order it out of the Hello tomorrow book, it doesn't come with 'DEMO' written on it does it? lol!

No, it comes in normal packaging. DEMO is that avon want us to be able to buy products at a better discount than buying out of the brochure to encourage us to demonstrate it to customers. The idea being that if they try, 80% buy (avon mantra).

We get to see 2 camps ahead so that we can talk to our customers about it, order it so that when we take the brochures out on that relevant camp, we can tell our customers about it, show it, demo it. Drum up interest and trade. Customers do really like to see, touch, smell and feel.

It also makes them feel special.

Cool.

I am really looking forward to getting out my C8 books as they are full of really good offers and great sale product in the back.

My customers have whinged that there is not that much by the way of good offers in 7. Hope C8 brings in more pennies.
