It came about from the question: can you go outside your allocated streets and knock on doors to ask people if they'd like a book?

The answer I got when I asked my ASM back in October was no.

And she's right, from Avon's perspective territory is there for a reason therefore it should be stuck too.

There is nothing to stop an individual Rep from doing it though, it is a self-employed job remember - you can't be sacked for it !

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help, I have delivered my very first order and have a couple of returns to do but can't see how to arrange this on the Avon website? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to see the sub total of my order that i'm placing on-line but can't seem to find the subtotal button. I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction of it. It's only my second time of inputting orders so it's all still very new.

Many thanks.

Hi there have been reports of problems with the subtotal button. It may not be there this campaign for you.

No problem! Go to the 'my orders' tab on you account home page and click credits. Then choose your invoice, then the item and the reason code. Follow the instructions, any problems let us know on here. You should be able to print off the form - one copy goes in with you returns, and the other is signed by the courier. Returns go back with your next delivery. It's not particularly clear, I remember having issues when I tried it first. Don't forget you are only credited the customer price. To get your subtotal to correct itself, pay a small amount off your bill. Within 24 hours it is ususally corrected. Hope this helps

Evening all,

As of Friday, I am now a Sales Leader yey! But a Sales Leader with no reps, booo!

I have 3 potential leads to follow up next week which fingers crossed go well. Other than FB and Gumtree, can anyone suggest other good online places to advertise? I don't think advertising on here is allowed is it?

Thank you for any suggestions!

Avon can close our accounts, though - I don't know how serious what you do has to be in order for this to happen. Or whether all ASMs take the same stance (3 strikes etc...)

Say the word comes down that knocking on doors is not allowed outside allocated streets. If a rep still chose to do that and started getting reported to their ASM because books were being found on other people's roads, surely if it happened often enough and the ASM had warned them already not to do it, something would be done? Might depend on the rep's sales...

I don't see how Avon could justify saying it's okay. Like you say they introduced territories in this country, got SMA set up. There's no point in either of those if we can go where we like in addition to doing allocated streets, even if we have to knock first.

Happy to report that thanks to my wonderful family full of women, I have reached MOV on my first campaign! Also text my ASM about territory on Saturday and she said she'd sort me out with some today so HOV here I come!!

Hi missminx, thanks for the information about the subtotal button. I did wonder whether it was actually there, lol.

Have a couple of questions if you lovely lot don't mind.

First is re bags. Do you guys put the books in sealable bags? What do you use? Sandwich bags? And where's the best place to get them.

Also a little confused with the Loyalty Card thing in Hello Tomorrow. Says you get so many cards and 5 mascaras for £10? Is that full size mascaras? Seems a bit odd...

I'm sure more questions will come to me through the day!
