Sounds like you're almost organised..... good incentive too to increase your Avon sales.

You near enough to get there the same day or travelling up/down the day before?

gotta leave about 6-7am - gotta get out of m25 before rush hour starts! Plus gotta go fairly close to olympic site too so lots of incentive to leave early - prob find a service station for breakfast. I'm driving as my upliner doesn't have a car.

You driving?

MarsdenCuckoo

Oh, sounds like two heavy days for you! Good luck with the traffic.

Yes, am driving up from Devon - there are eight of us so two 'car-fuls' - we're going up the day before and staying at a Travelodge (in great MSE style, I clicked into bargain priced rooms :money: ) so we only have a short drive the following morning. Plan is to arrive 'refreshed' :rotfl:but who knows.... The ultimate girly trip! LOL

Have a great time.

MarsdenCuckoo

Ooohh, fingers crossed I hope not but know where you're coming from.

That's a good one; I'll remember that! Sounds stupid, I know, but just something I really struggle with unless I know someone really well..... I've even apologised to people when I first meet them for not recognising them as/when/if we ever meet again!

Had one of my customers let me know someone else has delivered a book to them...unfortunately the book had been collected before they let me know so no idea about the rep, have let the manager know in case a new rep has started on that street as could well be them. Hopefully no one has ordered from them and they've wasted their time and won't do it again anyway, considering weve had that street for over 3 years it's a slim chance they've picked any customers but, but you never know. So glad a lot of my customers are now contacting us direct with their orders, as at least no other rep can collect in their orders as there books are never left outside. Definitely something to consider doing if you have any problems with 'wandering reps' in your area.

I've had that issue, managed to get her number from a book, and can't believe she tried telling me she was given those roads! Found it really funny cos she tried pulling the "i know the area manager" trick - doesn't work cos i see her every day and have never met this girl, and then she is a trainee sales leader (not qualified yet cos i'm friends with her upliner!) and she tried pulling rank on me! So funny when i said "actually i am a sales leader too, have been advanced for a little while now!"

Found out from the area manager this girl has tried this a few times in other roads.
