I'm also pushing the Fergie MMs. Bought in lots of samples and everyone on C15 has got one in with their book. I think the card covers help - but I didn't get enough to match the number of samples ordered so a few are still loose.

I think it's going to appeal to all ages, even if you don't know/care who the celebrity is it's a fresh enough fragrance to appeal to young people, but not so basic that people who like something more sophisticated will be put off. At the very least some of my older customers may decide to buy as a present for daughter etc... or they pass the book onto younger relatives anyway.

Sold 1 already to a customer in their 20s who bought the original Outspoken last year. And another, cheaper EDT last campaign but wanted this one straight away.

Certainly! One of my customers ordered one for herself (just turned 40) and one for her daughter (who's 16) after I offered her 2 sets for £26 xx

No P&P is free on replacements, but immediate replacements aren't very immediate xx

I think they state 7-10 days for an immediate replacement so if that is before your next normal delivery date then it will come separately. If your next order is within the next 7-10 days, you'd be better off doing a normal replacement (which will arrive with your next order) as it would be quicker than an immediate replacement xx

Hi, I have put in something along these lines-
•Hi my name is ______ the new Avon Rep for your road and I would like to show you what Avon has to offer.
•YES I would like another brochure
•Every brochure (once every 3 weeks)______
•Every other brochure (once every 6 weeks) _____
•4 times a year____
•2 times a year_____
•Only at Christmas_____
•There is no obligation to order every time you receive a brochure. I will continue to deliver brochures as often as you have requested even if you don’t order anything
•NO- I do not wish to receive another brochure____
•90 day money back guarantee
•You can buy Avon products, open them and try them and return within 90 days if you are not happy
•I will personally coordinate every brochure delivery and collection and deliver your order to you. You will deal with them same person every time.
I have adapted this from one I have seen on here. I find doing it in powerpoint makes it easier to print and cut to size also using different colours for the main Yes and No bits makes it clearer to people.

It's really nice to see new reps on here, I hope I am able to help in the same way that others have helped me.
Well I have downsized my territory, I have kept the road with the most customers and said to the customers on other roads that they can give me a call if they get stuck for a rep, which most of them have said they would do.

Thank you for your answer, its really helped and spurred me on to become a SL even sooner now, I'll talk to my ASM when she gets back off holiday next week for some advice.

Even though having to collect your books yourself had a reasonable explanation, on the face of it your SL's other actions still seem a little odd. Am I right in thinking from your post that your SL didn't do any further training after the sign-up - have you been shown how to input your order and do returns? In total I think SLs are supposed to do 4 training appointments, although some may group 2 together to do in one go. Personally I only had 2 but that was fine - I worked out returns thanks to this board. If you sign up as a SL you should expect full training from your upline and since they're going to be earning money off your work then don't be afraid to pester them to make sure they provide the support they're supposed to. If that fails you can always go to your ASM - they've been known to take over training if your immediate upline isn't doing anything.
