Hi all,

I have just signed up on the Avon website to become a rep. I was previously registered as a rep about 2 and a half/ 3 years ago (I didn't actually do the work, it was for my sister as she was too young for an avon account).

2 quick questions if anyone could help me please (I have looked through the thread but haven't found the info, very sorry if it was in there somewhere though)

1 - Will the fact that I as registered so long ago make any difference? I'm still at same address. TBH would rather be treated as a new rep so I can get all the help and support.

2 - I have seen the current offer for new reps - it says you must join during campaigns 10-12 on the avon site but I've seen references to campaign 14 on here. Could someone please let me know where we're up to and whether I'll be eligible?

Thanks in advance!

1 - No, assuming you don't owe Avon money.

2 - C14 is the last campaign for those joining in C12. C14 appointments only count if you're a Trendsetter.

As !!!!!! Here says, so long as you didn't leave owing Avon money there won't be a problem. As it was a while ago, you will be treated as a new rep so you can qualify for all the offers that new reps get.

Most areas in the country are on C11 or C12 at the moment, so you should be alright. There are some trendsetters area in the country (where they are a few brochures ahead), but chances are good that you won't be in that area - if you were a trendsetter you would have been last time, and you would probably remember if so. Good luck - keep in touch on here we're a friendly bunch

Good luck, MK. If you're happy to post up the first part of your postcode then maybe a Sales Leader subscribing to this post will be near you. Long shot.... but you never know.

When you apply to Avon's website your details go to your Area Sales Manager. Some ASMs sign you up direct, others pass you on to Sales Leaders in their area. Do your homework - you do not need to sign up to the first person, who contacts you. Even after you've signed up you have 14 days to change your mind. A good upliner can make all the difference to the success of your own Avon business so choose wisely!

I have an ex rep as a new customer and I know her fairly well, would you give her a discount on her orders or treat her as a normal customer? She hasn't asked but did joke about how she will have to get used to paying full price now.

I've got a couple of ex reps as customers and I've always treat them as everyone else, they're the best customers to have because they understand what it's like when Avon let you down on things

Three of my customers have begged me not to stop Avon so I have considered becoming friends and family only but not sure how this would work.
Do I have to do every campaign or can I just do every other one?
How would it work with the books? i want to avoid trudging around for books?

I just do Friends and Family. I was on good terms with my Rep so when she stopped and I started she told me a few of her good Customers and luckily they have kept ordering. I just order 3 packs of books and drop them round to them, normally on a Friday and pick it up the following week if I am lucky they have had friends and family round too who have also flicked through book and ordered. I also post the Ebrochure onto Facebook and email it to all my previous Customers each campaign. Obviously you wont make as much money but theres much less trudging about.
Not sure about ordering each time but my guess would be that you could do every other as you can miss 2 I think anyway can't you?
