Hi, I have a friend who used to use 'Occur'. I've found some bottles on ebay, but would anyone know if any of the current fragrances are similar at all?
If so, I can give her a sample and hope she wants to try a new scent.
Thank you,0 -

Yeah I've checked thanks, I've just had an email from a lady saying there are now some stalls available for saturday somewhere (somebody must have dropped out) but it's too short notice to get any stock! I would be mainly selling on the day rather than picking up new customers as it's pretty rural here! Ah well, never mind!0 -

Do you have any primary schools near you? Call them and ask if you can pay to have a table at their Xmas Fair. Go to your local library / village hall or senior citizen's centre and a) ask to put a sign up and b) look for signs for coffee mornings / produce and craft markets or similar and contact them. The worst thing that can happen is they say no. Not so bad really. Good LuckStill looking for the plot...... Anyone seen it???0 -

Could you do something else on your stall as well as avon? anything really... cakes, second hand books whatever gets people in front of you. You can give out books maybe a campaign behind if you're doubtful. just a thought :AStill looking for the plot...... Anyone seen it???0 -
Ugh... just been out in the snow for 2nd delivery attempts and 2 people still weren't in. I left notes on Mon to say I was coming back today with my phone and e-mail on. One person was away for the night (pre-planned because her sister was there to feed the cat. She would have paid for the order but didn't have enough on her).
I've also got a mystery checked box and am trying to work out who it came from. Narrowed it down to 3 houses from my notes so I've been back to knock on doors and find out - if only they'd answer :mad: I don't want to give a book to someone who's told me not to drop one again, so I'm holding off giving books to all 3 houses until I find out. One house was possibly in, one house was definitely in and I'm not doing meek little knocks anymore. All I need is to knock on 2 of the 3 doors max to work out who it is so it's frustrating when none will answer you!
Got some earmuffs to help with the cold but that still leaves my face. It would be great to be able to wear a balaclava but I'd look pretty terrifying going around like that.I used to have my Avon turnover (sales) here. They've been removed because it's not appropriate to talk about those kinds of sales as if they're realistic for a new Rep to aim for.I signed up at the right time, right place, and was very lucky.

Could you put the house number somewhere on the paper that has the check box for future drops so you would know which it came from? Would that make it easier?
** edit to add: So annoying when people mess you about. They would be quick enough to complain if you didn't turn up when you said you would. Even worse when they pretend not to be in.Still looking for the plot...... Anyone seen it???0 -

Ahhhh......I have 17 on order!!!
I have a feeling that I am going to have lots and lots of stuff missing this time. My final order came to £1,129 when I submitted it last night.
Keep pushing with your facebook page chasingsunshine. I have had about 6 new customers from my page alone and the minimum order I took was £26. The biggest was £74 :TEveryone loves a bargain :beer:0
