    all 4 for £3.50 - do you mean the daily shine set? When you enter all 4 codes it automatically charges you £3.50 for the lot. Strange not to have the separate code like usual.


    I wondered that aswell! Usual to have a seperate code - sometimes I think they are trying to catch us out!;)

    Not silly at all - there's usually a separate code when it's "all..." rather than "any...". I was looking for it as well. At least now "View subtotal" is back (albeit right at the end) we can experiment with entering codes to see what happens to the price.
    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.

    the calling cards are pink cards with like tick boxes saying you called to collect the brochure, or called to deliver their order, a choice of days to tick and a space for a message.... id scan one to show you but at my mums and not got one here!


    Get my c10 delivery tomorrow - bit gutted as i made PC in c10 last year and just checked and pc status is £5330. So looks like its gonna be 2/3 more campaigns as i need to return £400 worth of herve leger moneymakers!! :(

    im really still struggling now.. have done for over 6 months now.. avon just doesnt excite me anymore.. infact its become too much faff for very little gain!!! tempted more and more to quit! :(

    Met my ASM last night, she was very nice. It was also good to put a face to a name. Was asked if I got good support from my SL, "oh yes I replied, she's a star!!" :D


    Awww I'm sure your SL is very flattered :D;)
    Avon Lady since 2009 - I help on the Avon hints & tips thread to help other reps/new sales leaders as I was helped so much by it when I first started out :A

    Why don't you look at Sales Leadership? I set myself the goal of PC first and then decided to give the SL route a whirl. My upliner kept trying to entice me in but didn't think it was for me. Got to admit now I prefer the SL side of things to the customer-end. Of course, you still have to do HOV yourself so means you just cherry pick a few of your best customers and pass the others on to your team members. They get the hassle of the delivering and you get a commission for having recruited them.

    Could be just the thing to spark you back up again and it would be such a shame not to put all your expertise to good use.
    Make the most of everything in life (especially Avon ;))

    Hi all,

    A couple of questions:-

    Need to do my first return (couple of demo items & order with no name that I haven't been able to deliver :(). Are these the steps I need to follow...
    - I've got the blue book to fill in & think I need to do something online.
    - Get it all ready to go on order delivery day.
    - Knock the amount off the invoice that I'm due to pay next week

    A customer wants to try a lipstick - they do a sample which I can order for her, or can I offer that she buys it & if she doesn't like the colour she can return it?

    Pretty desperate for sales - only 2 orders so far totalling £14 :eek: & that's from my new street of 50 houses. Am hoping it picks up this week.
    Now proud Mumto3 :j

    I've done this with one of my ladies who wants to try a couple of new foundations- I've just let her order the three that she wants to try and said that she can pay for whichever she wants when she's done- but then I do know her well as we work together. If you trust her, I would say let her order the full size. If not- the sample

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    Thanks for the info! I think I might get some of these as I think they're only 60p? and my printers not working at the moment so I can't print any of my home made ones off!!

    I used them for the 1st time this week & they are working really well.
    I think they're well worth it at 60p :)
