~Avon Hints & Tips (Part 6) ~

So many yellow dots on this order -16 - seems that only the make up is ever ok for stock. Gift sets etc all seem low.
Very annoying, especially when I've persuaded people to order early for Christmas!!!

This is my first campaign and I've quite a few orders for the 5 for £5 bubble baths and the senses shower gels, is stock normally ok for these?

And when will I see the coloured dot stock indicators everyone talks about? I've already saved in parts of my order (I'm impatient and can never wait - sad I know!) but don't see any dots.

Just heard that I was successful in my Boots interview and I have a part time Christmas job on the tills! It is down to Avon I think too. Before I started Avon I was struggling to get any interviews despite having worked and volunteered all the time I was at uni (worked full time before I went to do my degree). Since I put Avon on my CV I had 3 interviews and have finally got a job. My induction is next week and I start after that. Avon is not just good for upping your income . (Unfortunately am not allowed to sell avon to colleagues for obvious reasons)

Also what are the bag sizes like, there's 4 different size paper bags but can't see anywhere what size they actually are??!! and the plastic bags?

Think the stock situation shows up a couple of days before the order is due for submission, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

A few of the shower gel fragrances are showing up yellow on my list but have submitted it and just have to hope for the best.

I got the large paper bags as if people order the large shampoos, bath or shower products, then the smaller bags are no good. I've also got the medium and small, but mainly use the large and medium. I sometimes put a couple of samples in the small bags and write 'thankyou' on the front before putting in with the main items.

Hi ladies

Phew..one more day to go on my first campaign...absolutely loved it!!!! My sales currently stand at £261 which I'm hoping is ok?

Luckily I have hardly any yellow dots, mostly green ticks :j

I do have my £7.50 to pay, my money for books and my free gifts that I offered (75p shower gels) so won't get that much commission but hey ho......really enjoyed it!

Bring on C17!

Hi all, have all my orders in for my first campaign but a little worried as the total i'll owe avon is £248 but my ASM told me my limit was £200, will this be ok or will i get problems? Have just text my ASM to ask her but just wondered if you guys had any experience with this?
Thanks

Hi Betsy

I got a credit limit of £400 but my ASM said if you go over this then you can pay the difference? Plus the £200 is YOUR cost, not what your customers have ordered.

Hope this helps - well done on a fab first campaign...it's my first one too, isn't it great??!!!

Thanks Sarahlou, but the way she explained it to me was the most I could owe avon all together (customers orders & mine for books etc) was £200 in the first campaign. Hopefully that'll be ok to just pay the difference then! Yeah I'm really surprised at how many orders I've got from my street, didn't think I'd get such a good turn out!
