Kittenclaws - Pass your customers this way!!!

Seriously I'd probably pass them onto the other rep in your area, if you believe she would serve them well. It's a shame you're giving it up but I think Avon lose a lot of good reps because of territory issues, it seems sometimes as though it's more important to sign up lots of reps than sign up a few good ones and I think that's why there are so many issues over territory, I was only given around 60 houses when I signed up and despite the fact I've lived here 5 years and have never once had a book put through my door I've been told there is no more territory and I have to go and find it myself.

My sister suggested that I keep AVON running for a while for my 'regular' customers only and of course for stuff I need myself. Can I put in regular orders below the mov if necessary? I know I won't get commission on that but I will have access to HT stuff. Maybe in the Spring I might have a little more time and have some more regular customers.

Also I am listed as a SL - I have no intention of recruiting atm or if ever. I've been reading that Betterware v Kleeneze thread and MLM appears to be a bit of a nightmare. AVON has adopted the same methods and although I totally believe in AVON products, I'm not so sure of recruiting others. Should I stay 'SL' until I decide what to do? or is there a penalty?

I was going to suggest that you just do Avon as F&F, that is keep those customers that you have already earned as Friends, that way you can keep putting an order in, even a small one, and still get HT and the discounted products if your orders are over MoV.

I can't remember if you don't do anything as an SL, if it gets flagged up. Lozza will be able to tell you. Send her a PM.

Afternoon My fliers have just arrived. I am sooooo pleased with them. Well worth the outlay. Got to get out there and make use of them now. It's only my 3rd campaign, but the second one that has been scuppered by the baby being ill . Have managed HoV, but only just on first 2 campaigns. Hoping the market on Saturday will give me leads for new customers, especially as my order goes in on the 30th.

Anyone got any ideas to help me at the market please? :A

Hello, I dont come on here that often to post but always come in to have a read. Really pleased with Camp 17 although I have 10 items OOS (four items for new customers) and 9 items missing from box, also cant get hold of ASM about wanting to become an SL, although the more time that goes by the more I am changing my mind mainly because I think I wont be able to give any new reps new territory, all I want to do is to have a chat to see what it involves and how much time it would possibly take up as I already work full time.

Excellent! I ordered some flyers from Vista so am looking forward to getting those out too
Gotta love Vista eh?!
I've ordered some bits for my stall which has taken me over HOV buy obviously if the stuff doesnt sell I wont be making any money this campaign which is gutting really thought I'd do okay with c.18. Cant see 1-3 being any better which is another shame as I wont get my nice vanity case on smart start Darn!

I only ordered business cards from vistaprint. I used a local company for the fliers, but they have been done to match my business cards
They're are sitting on my coffee table winking at me!! lol I'm like a magpie, I like shiny things!!!

How much do you have to earn / sell for the smart start thing then? Over how many campaigns?
