Ooh, ooh, ooh.....how cool. I LOVE dying my hair, and now I have an excuse to do it :T Defo gonna go for a red mahogany. Just hoping they don't make your hair feel like straw like the last hair dye I used!!!

Does anyone know if they are Permenant or Semi-perm?

They're permanent :j:j:j

I have a quick question even though I don't get signed up untill Wednesday I've been thinking in advance. When you ask people to show a brocher at work or to their friends what do you do about the delivery? Do you take it to each house or get them to take it into work? If you do the latter what do you do about the money?

And I've got horrible white hairs coming through so its more a case of need. Hoping it will cover white/greys or we may have problems.

Laura - easiest way is to ask your friend to collect the money for you (if she's trusted) and you could slip a small gift into her delivery. If they are local, try to deliver as you can add them to your F&F and drop them a brochure directly each month.

I have a couple of ladies who take the brochure to their place of work, I take the order to the lady who lives on my territory and she then takes it into work to distrubute the order. She always collects the money in advance for me as I always pop slips through the door a few days before delivery confirming the cost and whether anything is out of stock.

My mum also takes the book into work for me but she collects the money in after she delivers but if for any reason she's not going to be in work she will pay me for the whole order up front.

Why not try and resell it then! At least money would be all yours then!

After trying for 3 months to send stock back to Avon. I got and email saying I had not placed a campaign 1 order. I hastily wrote to my area manager and told them, unfortunately I was not placing an order or promoting Avon as, as her earlier email showed. Contacting Avon is pointless, there is no communication between representive support and ASM's. In the letter i mentioned the names of the call agents I spoke to and surprise surprise after 3 months of agggro and little help.

Got an email, please just throw these items away your account is being recredited which it has been. £240 worth of products in the bin, so much for profit and loss

Can't wait for the hair colours! I have (over the years!) been almost every colour under the sun and just now can't get enough of reds. Was telling my Mum about AVON starting hair colours in the next few campaigns and she was almost as excited as me!!!

Have decided to branch out into fayres/coffee mornings etc. So far I have 3 events confimed with potentially another 2 to come. How do you guys find these things go? I intend to have lots of items for £1/1.50 and some more expensive things. Do you have a system for making sure people take your details - I was thinking of putting my business card into each bag but don't actually want to give brochures away as I have quite a large territory. Any suggestions? First one is due to take place on the 19th Feb so wish me luck.

Have planned lots of things to go in with my order for C5 to see how it goes and also - as it is nearly time for spring and I live on the :mad: midge infested :mad: west coast of Scotland - have ordered 20 bottles of the SSS Soft and Fresh as these will definitely sell. In fact have got orders from customers and have been asked by about 4 different people if we still stock the midge repellant SSS.

Still trying to get my second batch of brochures out to customer today (should have done mon/tues). Little DD was sent home from PG on monday and has had temperature on and off since. Managed to get most out today and just a dozen or so to drop tomorrow.

Monday is my pick up day so will find out how the balance of C5/C4 sales have gone. Looking forward to seeing if I have any customers from PG and hoping the hairdressers have some orders this time too.

Itching to recanvass but not got the time at the moment. Mind you, glad to get out of the house today as DD is driving me bonkers!

I'm thinking about asking my manager if I can leave a book in the staff room at work. I work in retail, but only on Sundays so I don't know/don't see any of the week day staff. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on howi could do the delivery bit if they order?

You could just pop in on a day when you have free time to give theirs out
