Storm sunglasses sold out. £13 order down the pan.

Thanks avon.

yes noticed on Flissys that a lot of people wanted Storm sunglasses and no stock. Might be worth checking ebay to see if they are on there.

I all i wondered if any of you can help. I had a call from avon saying that they where going to send me an anew pack for a special price and i agreed. But my question is how can i sell this to my customers or am i missing something?:think:

Hi kellyloubeee

what is supposed to happen is you go to see your customer's and other people you know, show them the products and ask if they want to buy at the selling price they have quoted to you. Hopefully they do,and you make money.

If they don't, you have to return them when they appear on your invoice, so you won't be charged for them.

that's a good point. I remember my SL telling me about the 90 day guarantee and she was having people come upto her, when she first started, saying they didn't want this because it didn't work or fit, etc. And they had never bought from her! But under 90 day guarantee they wanted it returned as they had bought from a rep.

I would assume you email avon but how they deal with it, have absolutely no idea.

Thanks for the quick reply One of the products has been ordered by a customer for my current campaign, am i correct in saying that i can offer her the one i already have?

Aesop

yes you can.

Basically for sma we can use it to allocate territory once we have a signed contract, not before, and can't use it to find territory for prospecting that still needs to come from the manager. Sma is useful means you can get new reps territory straight away after their apointment without waiting for a manager. I never got territory from a manager before an appointment cos of the risk of the manager stealing the potential rep. They have a keystone system monitoring if we enter details.

A totally curved ball here - had anyone else noticed that most Avon products have a date on the bottom? I've only been doing it for 2 1/2 years and noticed last week

I wish I'd know that when a colleague of my Husband's returned 2 shampoos that she'd bought before I started and insisted they were from me!

I came across someone recently, who'd been delivered short but asked to pay for the item (actually was a BOGOF offer but she only got one) and then her rep 'disappeared'. After a few months of checking if she was sorted, I emailed Avon on her behalf. They asked me to re-order the item she was short and they would credit me for it, which I thought was great (pretty sure I forgot to claim the credit though! Doh!!!) End result is that I now have a new customer so... result! :T
