Sorry MM, as much as I would love you to be my SL I'm up in Yorkshire, not South Wales. Unless you don't mind a few hours up the M6 lol?

What would I actually do if I didnt feel the SL was very good?

Ruth

Ha ha I hadn't seen anyone mention South Wales until MC, otherwise I would have offered any help I could give.
If you do not feel comfortable with the SL, then try to go by word of mouth. Can you find out about the SL of the lady you mentioned that cannot serve your office any longer?

Hi hope someone can help, I know you have a lot of info in the first pages but can't get a hold of my ASM and time is running out. Have been asked to attend a local christmas fayre and need to place an additional order for items to take along, do you know how long it takes to come, only got until next Friday, also can I place an order for camp 18 items even though it is not due until next friday or do I just order from camp 17. Hope someone can help, many thanks

An additional takes 5-7 working days, sometimes less time, sometimes longer. Unfortunately there are no guarantees on the dates. If it's a big order the courier will deliver it so you'll get it whenever they're next in the area. I had an immediate replacement arrive via courier on a Thursday after requesting it on a Monday, which was ridiculously fast compared to normal.

If you're currently in C18 you'll need to do an additional order from C17 so you won't be able to order any items from brochure 18 (apart from demos from HT). Apparently the additional backorder feature is back so when you do your additional C17 order you should be able to backorder some things from C16. It's to do with helping trendsetter reps order Christmas items instead of being forced to hand out New-Year brochures in November/December.

If you send your regular C18 order in early it will still arrive on your scheduled C18 delivery day.

To add to IG's post, to anyone still able to back-order from C17 i.e. C16, it's worth trying the code 80333 to see if you can still click into the ANew Clinical Eyelift @ £1.25 nett.

Hi everyone, just a warning to you all to double check your Avon invoices. One customer had ordered a Linen and Room spray for 99p out of C18. When I checked on the invoice it was listed with a different produce number for £4 !! I know it's only a small amount but if it were to happen each campaign.

Damn that they have put the new promotion on over C1, C2 and C3 those are notoriously my worse campaigns, no one seems to have any money over Xmas and New Year, me included

They've been sent out with your orders recently (C17 & C18) i.e. one per £18 spend.

So they are to give out to the Customers then ? as that is what I did lol, so hoping it is

Was the customer on backorder? They were 99p in C17, but it's 3 for £3 (or £4 for one) in C18.

Having a bit of an Avon de-cluttering once C1 is over:

- putting 7 customers on "re-canvas" since they haven't ordered for almost a year or longer.
- 1 non-reader also going to RC seeing as I've had them a year
- 8 readers going as well - initially interested but now not even reading or returning books. Had them since at least May.

If they order during C1 of course I'll keep them on but chances are slim. I've worked out the customers I'm moving to RC have brought in sales of £47.35 over 1 year/18 campaigns, and the most recent order was in February 2011.

I'm also going to return a total of 96 houses unless things improve during C1 on those streets. What I'm keeping, according to SMA, should bring in sales of £485, which isn't much higher than what I'm getting. According to SMA the 96 houses I'm planning to lose should bring in £108 per campaign. I've had £23.50 from 1 customer in a year. :eek:

It's at times like this that keeping track of stats pays off and helps you feel sure you're making the right decision.

There are two lots - different colours - one for reps and one for customers.
