Hi,
anyone got the link to C18? It's disappeared from front page & it's my back-order catalogue this time.
Thanks

Sorry, Avon 'ate' it and you got C5 if you clicked on it!

It's a special offer pack that ASMs/SLs can offer their team members to 'encourage' them to order. For some team leaders it can be very important to make sure their reps actually place an order i.e. SLs need 5 active reps to place an order to help them qualify for their SL commission; to others with bigger teams it's not that important.

Where do I find the info re WOW packs, and how do I offer them? I have been super busy, stressed and had a virus that lasted weeks! I feel like Avon has run away from me I've probably just missed it on the site

[EMAIL="Helen@Avon"]Helen@Avon[/EMAIL] on AC has posted a link headed '1st Quarter Focus' or email me @ [EMAIL="avochris@live.co.uk"]avochris@live.co.uk[/EMAIL] and I'll gladly email it to you. Unfortunately it doesn't include the line nos. for everything so am guessing we'll need to ring SL Helpline for those.

This is a bit off topic; I hope this is okay. I've just starting buying from Avon after a rep put a book through the door. I wanted to buy her a little something for Christmas, but decided in the end to put £5 in an envelope.

Now I'm worried I've been patronising and she'll be offended. What do you all think?

Guess I won't be seeing one then

what I was trying to convey still stands: any new rep in a T/S area is better off signing up to a T/S team rather than an out-of-area one.... least that's my view - do you agree?

Why do you think that ? It shouldn't make a difference.

I think it is a lovely gesture.

Me too. Last year I had a lot more customers and got 'a few' tips; makes you feel all gooey inside!

Hmmm.... Maybe am missing something....

1. If the T/S is a long way away it's logical to do the T1 and T2 together but it's impossible to get the right books from Avon so many campaigns ahead e.g. am due my C1 delivery tomorrow so will only just get my C4 books then but if I'd appointed a T/S recently they'd be needing C4 + C5 books. Yes/No?
2. I offer to help all my newbies with their Creative Ordering (at least for the first couple of campaigns until they get the hang of it themselves) - again, difficult because T/Ss are on different books to me plus I don't have the same HTs.

Add to that, some of my customers are better than me at finding bargains so I lose that option too! :rotfl:

On the other hand, if I'm wrong, please enlighten me. Am I making it more complicated than it needs to be?
