    Oh done that! On the change rep bit you actually have to change to another rep so in desperation I cancelled the account. Now I cant find the rep by searching. And its sooooo slow it makes me want to scream!

    you should have changed it to you... :p

    I just checked to see if my "friend's" account linked to me, and came up with someone I have never heard of, don't want to link to her, but can't find her by searching :mad: . Don't like Avon Connect. Don't go on it!

    Thanks aureol for the great new thread. Back on the subject of territory, I have been pestering my ASM for new territory near me for ages and she just told me today after 3 weeks that I can either risk it and canvass or wait til she has had a chance to check it out !! So apologies in advance to anyone who lives near me in Cheltenham :eek:

    If you've got the time you could stick to door-knocking rather than putting brochures or flyers through doors. Knocking and asking outside your territory doesn't seem to be frowned upon because if the street is covered you'll find out as you make your way down the street. Some people won't know because they're not Avon customers, but if the street is being covered by a territory rep it's likely they'll have at least 1 customer who will tell you.

    EDITED TO ADD: Or you could be on a street like one of mine where no-one has ordered yet :( out of 17 houses in total. Pretty unlikely, though. Actually this just got me thinking about the number of potential customers and order totals that Avon works out for you. I saw a table pasted into Connects showing an example of how well Avon expects you to do on certain streets. How do they come up with these figures? I've heard about Avon reassigning streets because reps 'weren't covering them properly' - but in some cases this won't be an issue of not canvassing often enough or at all, just a bad street where you're getting no interest.
    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.

    Ugh... I think I've done Facebook wrong by making a page. Will my updates still show up on people's walls - that's all I really want it to do?

    they have some kind of formula that says x amount of houses = y amount of potential customers = z expected revenue!

    You should see one of my roads! it is a small cul de sac, have 3 sometimes 4 customers and they expect me to have silly amount in sales!
