Good luck glad we've been able to help you, as mc says if you like Avon stuff worth just ordering for yourself from ht, as you'll still get the. Cheaper prices.

Firstly don't panic - you probably won't cover all those houses this first campaign just do as many as you can. Id ask who you joined with if they have any spare books you can have to help you, they might not but worth asking. If you leave books at houses for 2 days then collect and redeliver you'll still cover a large number of houses in a sort time. When you place your order you will be ordering books for future campaign, whoever signed you will give you the books for next campaign. Yeah you'll get a feel for how many you need, but you certainly don't need a book per house, as you work out who does and doesnt want a book it'll help yOu work out how many to order but don't worry about that yet, just see how many houses you can get round this time. If you feel brave, you can try knocking and asking if people want a book, then that will mean you won't be leaving books at houses that don't want them. It's not for everyone, but it suits some people.

Welcome to Avon and our little Avon 'family' on here

Yes you can. So if you're doing C5, try to get the books in and out as often as you can. Once you move onto C6, you can continue to use the C5 books to canvass alongside the C6 which you can give to customers who have ordered in C5 and/or use them to help cover your houses.

Good luck, sounds like you've really got it sussed.

Yes, you're right LLL - as Lozza says though, if you knock and ask at least you'll know wherever you leave a book is actually wanted so does save time in the long run. There's no hard and fast rule - just whatever you feel comfortable with. Chances are out of 400 houses, although it sounds a lot, you may find 40-60 customers so for everyone who says No just tell yourself you're one closer to the next one who will say Yes.

Good luck; hope you enjoy Avon.

Hi all, I was up till 1.00am reading this thread. Very interesting and also to see how you support each other is fab Im thinking of joining Avon (i did it a few years ago) but I was wondering about the credit check on the application. Does anyone know if my debt would affect this. im in the process of rebuilding my credit score so dont want to do anything to ruin that if that makes sense? Xx

Applying for avon certainly won't affect your credit rating in a bad way - I've had people accepted who have ccjs, can't even get a credit card/overdraft cos there credit is so bad - but avon accepted them no problem. If anything, becoming a rep, and paying your bill off in time each campaign, will only help to increase your rating as it helps to prove you can pay your debts. The only way to know if you'll be accepted is to apply, and see - good luck if you decide to give it a go
