    Evening.

    Monday i went to collect my c13's had about 66 out and managed to get in 40 so not too bad
    Ended up with 4 not wanting anymore but also 4 new customers so evens out really,
    My main big road is majorly slow for orders which is a shame i was hoping for a bit more interest on my doorstep.

    Been going through some orders i have in already on creative ordering and sods law only 2 things i can change and make £0.50p lol ok so maybe a few more orders in yet for that to really kick off.,

    Going back out tomorrow to get other books in, i left my calling notes at home on monday so will take them out tomorrow and hopefully get all books in by Thursday as thats when i put my orders in.

    Need to sit down and work out what i need to do on next order may be a smallish one as quite a lot in my territory i have done 3 drops already and no orders and i dont want to keep pestering them x

    I'm getting my c14 books in Friday, well Dh is. Going to be missing c15, as impossible for us to do with how the order & delivery dates fall when we're away, doing c14 is going to be a push to get them all delivered, can see some hanging round till were back it people aren't in - but will make a change for our customers to have to wait for us rather than us waiting round for them!

    Well in the rain and wind today i went out with my lil home made calling cards to try and get my Avon books in, Im working this evening so couldnt do it when people are in
    Results were
    23 houses outstanding
    5 books collected
    1 had lost it
    1 said " will you refrain from leaving these brochures on MY doorstep please".." yes sir of course thank you SOOOO much for letting me know, i had previously left you a little slip for you to fill in should you not wish to receive anymore so i shall cross your property off my list and not return thank you once again for your time " in a very overly happy yet sarcastic voice lol

    Anyway back out again tomorrow to hopefully collect the rest

    One thing tho, i did my first credits last month only a couple of pounds but i paid the balance in full forgetting about them monday night, it now shows a minus £2.62 so will that come off my next account?

    Yeh, next time you put an order through, as you're already in credit it will be knocked off your next bill. What I like to do, is make a note of how much my returns are for, then underpay my bill by that amount. By the time my order is submitted, both my payment & returns have been credited to my account, which means my balance is clear and I'm not waiting to get all my earnings as I haven't paid more than I need to.

    Well done, TIB; looks like you're well on your way to getting a free Genics Concentrate as well as, presumably, clicking into the Rising Star programme i.e. if you signed up in C14.

    Enjoy! :j

    Very reliable delivery-wise. I have monday deliveries and always get mine on bank holidays.

    Yes - even when the weather was really bad and I didn't expect my delivery to come (our street was a death trap), the delivery driver still went out and somehow made it in one piece. It's worth keeping an eye out round christmas/january, as some years I've found my deliveries have been moved from a monday forward to the friday, but not always. But yes - the date they say they'll deliver will be the date it will be delivered :)
