    Can't decide what to do, my order is here today (hope it's all here, only 1 box which dosent seem alot compared to usual, but I don't have time to check it all off at the moment as I have to go out in a min). I always deliver today with books and pick up Sunday. Now this weekend I have so much to do as I have to fit in most of my hours for my temp census job this weekend as we are on holiday Monday, and I have my youngest birthday party on SUnday afternoon, and I am seriously shattered as I have just found out I am pregnant.

    I can't decide just to do as normal, and do books for those that didn't order this time after my hol. Or say I will pick up books a week Sunday, so they have books for a week and half. And do non ordering customers after holiday. Or just deliver orders today without books and put out all books when we get back next Friday.


    Congrats firstly! :)

    I'd say give them longer with the books to make things easier for yourself (for the people who have an order), everyone else drop to later in the week. Just do whatever you think you'll find easiest to fit in xxx

    The Clearskin demo pack saga continues...

    I e-mailed them about this and thought it was all sorted. They said 5-7 working days, then when it didn't show I decided to wait until delivery day since it was a pack with heavy items. No sign of it then either - in the box or on the invoice. Just e-mailed them again.

    Oh, and reports on Connects that the C8 subtotal button is missing again!
    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.

    Is it wrong that my 10 year old DD is currently sorting out my delivery into the orders while I'm on the computer supposedly studying? :o:rotfl::rotfl: When she's old enough she can take up the Avon herself ;)

    The number of pages in this thread it is more than fair to ask :) Are you a rep too?

    :mad: E-mail people at Avon are saying the Clearskin pack is unavailable now. I've replied saying all products in the pack are available to order in the current brochures - they're not discontinued and I don't mind them being sent loose.

    I think this'll turn into banging my head against a brick wall, though.

    On the plus side just spoke to my ASM about some extra streets, but that really will be it and after Christmas I think I'll give back a few that are truly useless.

    Hi all

    I've in quite a bit of debt and am hoping to find some part time work to up my earning (I already have a FT job) so need something a bit flexible. What sort of money to people earn on Avon? I realise it depends entirely on the orders you get, but perhaps you could give me an idea of an average good week and an average bad one?? Is it worth doing?

    Thanks

    Yes it a case of how long is a piece of string! If your sales are £78, you get 20%, sales of £148 and over gets your 25%. My figures will be very different from a new rep, as I've been doing this for over 2 years now, and have gained some referrals of customers from advertising for new reps (I'm a sl as well as a rep). However, in my very first campaign, I got just over £300 of sales, a fair of that was from work/family and the rest from my territory which I built upon in the following campaigns as people get to know & trust you.

    I work full time shifts, and find I can fit it in really well - my OH works shifts too, so when I'm at home and he's on a night shift I can pack my books etc while watching the tv which I like.

    Best bet is to give it a try - the costs are fairly minimal, and if you don't put an order in, you won't owe anything, so you can see how you get on and how you like it - however, please tell whoever you signed with that you changed their mind rather than just ignoring them :)
