Can't help with a similar alternative, sorry.

How's everyone doing recently? I'm just collecting in C10 and finding sales are quite poor from my regulars. Picked up another 3 new customers (2 accosted me when delivering brochures and one was a recanvass when I spotted a 'let by' sign outside the house) which helped raise a poor total a bit. Still down on last years figures though.

I'm kind of plodding along, energy improved a little since being unwell all winter, so don't want to take on too much. Sales seem same-ish. With customer hols starting I expect things to be a little slow for a few months. The good thing is I'm on a Park Home site and all my customers (60 or so) are my neighbours, so I'm often getting stopped and given orders on my walks & they know they can really rely on me. Only just putting out C10 so can't say how that one will do yet.

It's the original (greenish) writing one, soft & fresh *not* the soft & sensual one. Not sure on the code as I'm at work, but think its in the first post on this thread

Its not going well for me ATM. My sales aren't any better than they were this time last year, despite me having more customers So I've decided to look for full time employment elsewhere and then once that's sorted I'm going to be leaving Avon. I started so that I could work from home therefore allowing me to be here for my daughter when she got home from school. But between being on low income benefits, having to work a number of evenings (None of my customers have taken up the option of me delivering during the day!) and the amount of space it takes up come delivery day I'm not loving it any more. Also my daughter is not keen on me having to work during the school holidays as she gets dragged out with me.

My daughter starts secondary school in September, so she won't be home much before 4pm of an evening, and will be leaving at 8am-ish so I don't feel so bad about looking for a job in a school starting in September as our hours will end up being similar. Now I just need to spend the next few weeks filling out application forms & hopefully attending interviews! :eek:

have you thought about sales leadership to bump up your earnings?

nicki_2

I'm not interested in Sales Leadership, I only took this job on as a temporary thing while I got my daughter through her last year of primary school (working in one for the past few years as a volunteer I've seen how stressful it can be for the kids) and sales just isn't my thing I miss working with the kids and seeing the looks on their faces when something clicks for the first time, and getting them excited about what will happen when we do this particular science experiment, I just can't get the same sort of enthusiasm going when it comes to selling lippy and perfume I've tried, its not working, time for me to go back to something I love and can do in my sleep and will allow me to be there for my daughter when I'm needed

Good luck Nicki with the job hunt. Sounds like the decision has kind of been made for you & it's time for a change.
