    Blimey sylvergrunge I am well impressed with your figures.!! How many customers do you have for those amounts.??

    I'm still toying with becoming a rep. I run a magazine and I don't have that much time, but was thinking that the mag could be a publicity vehicle for me.... (thinking aloud)

    I wonder if one of you lovely Avon ladies could find something out for me? For a good many years, I used a product - called 'Hydofirming Night Cream which was the best night cream ever! I've checked on the Avon website but there is no sign of it. It was about six quid and was once praised in Vogue. I'd love to know if it is still available or has taken a different form.

    Thanks

    It was discontinued in 2009.

    However, Avon now have this and this.

    both are sometimes on promo and a lot cheaper.

  • The hydrofirming was from the solutions range so Solutions Maximum Moisture night cream may be a more direct replacement (£7.50 for 50ml but often available half price).

    Hi Kitten Claws. I have been a rep for 4 campaigns now and have been lucky with my territory. I have about 40 regular customers now. Am canvassing some new territory this time to hopefully get a few more ;) Anyway, in comparison to some on here my sales figures are miniscule. A good way to start for you would be to sell to friends and family and maybe your works colleagues, this wouldn't take much time as you could just leave the book somewhere visible at work and let your colleagues do their own legwork ;) My hubby takes a book into work and I have had quite a few orders from them so far :) Could be a good insight into how it works for you without taking up too much of your time. HTH.
    Everyone loves a bargain :beer:

    Woo hoo, have just had my additional order delivered and lo and behold, my three pairs of fitflops from Campaign 10 have finally arrived! Thanks to Aureol for her kind offer, however I still haven't managed to get hold of the customer in question as it seems she is on holiday, and mine are here now anyway so I am ok!

    Also was amazed to see on my invoice that I need to sell £1000 to make bronze PC by campaign 18!!!!!! This is attainable for me as I am yet to submit my C14 order and prob sell on average £300 a campaign - I really didn't realise I was on track though so that was a nice surprise.

    Have got myself into a bit of a pickle though regarding returns. I put through a load of credits which was stock from an Avon stall I ran. However I haven't yet sent them back and they have been recharged. My C14 order is due on Friday which is when I pay my C13 invoice, and I only have enough money to pay for the invoice owed, not the recharges, which I believe will mean my order will be held. However as I can't send back the stuff without the courier coming to deliver it seems I am in a catch 22! Is there any way around this? If I had been organised I would have given them to the courier who delivered my additional this morning, as it was he arrived at 6.45am when I was still in my pyjamas and bleary eyed and suffering from a heart attack as he frightened me to death by pounding on the door! :rotfl:

    Wow Missythecat - that's brilliant! I've got to do about £600 per campaign for the next 4 campaigns to get associate level so you are doing really well.

    £600 is a bit beyond me - my max so far is about £480 so am canvassing and recanvassing hard and keeping my fingers crossed ...
  • I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too! I have bought some calling books in to work today to organise myself. I am going to do one for customers and one for prospects - I think this was your idea wasn't it? Anyway if it was thank you, I think it will really work for me as I am somewhat unorganised at the moment.

    Yeah I've put all mine onto an Excel spreadsheet as finding it quicker and easier to update
