Those sales are between both me & my husband so if you split it only £200 each. Dh usually makes pc as I put most sales though on his and only £150 through on mine to maximise our earnings, as he is a rep in my team. We have been doing this is a fair while, so have quite a big territory now, but even though we have the same amount of people having books as last year, sales are noticeably down. Thankfully, when te Xmas issues come out soon they should go up a lot

I've decided not to put book 15s out to my current customer but to put them out to those I'm re-canvassing (minus those who were problem customers who I dropped and those who have cancelled in the last 7 campaigns since I missed the last one) as there has been a lot of movement in our road alone. Instead I'll put book 16 out early and give them a little longer than a week to look at it Hopefully I will be able to up my sales a little. So for c15 I'll put through a smallish personal order of HT items which will also allow me to send back all my returns

Being ill today isn't helping with me getting sorted. Next time I make kebabs I'll use less spices and make sure its better cooked

oh no sorry to hear your not feeling too well.

ive sorted my order out everything barring 2 out of stock items was there which is good
recieved campaign 16 books and they look good with the christmas gift bit in dont they wish i had ordered more now but if i order them on my next order i will have to pay full price for each pack not the discounted one for buyuing over 3 wont i, so may wait and just really go for it pushing christmas is coming with book 17,
woohoo christmas i love christmas, fingers crossed sales will be up cos im skint haha

I'm still trying to do my newsletters and ones to re-canvass My brain isn't functioning on all cylinders today but I need to get these books out to customers. Trying to work dates out around hydrotherapy appointments for DD (weekly ATM but no idea when the next appointment is until we get to this weeks as its a "whats available" job), other appointments with workmen booked by my landlady/bank, school inset days etc is just causing me just to get more confused.

I'd love to know the dates of C1 onwards as well, C18 order is due 21st November for me and by my calculations I'll have an order due 20th December (based on last years dates) so in theory that would be a delivery to me on Boxing day :eek: I like to give my customers plenty of warning about when the latest date for Christmas delivery is (I always recommend they order so that there is a spare campaign before Christmas in case stuff is out of stock) and I miss the campaign that falls over Christmas and New Year as I know everyone is always strapped for cash and I use that campaign to restock my paper bags etc With ordering books 2 campaigns ahead (putting in order for C15 this time I'll order C17 books) I need to know which books not to order as I really messed up last year and ended up missing 2 campaigns for customers as I didn't have any books

lozza1985

Yeah it's well worth planning ahead, if you check the dates on the website they tell you for a bit further ahead than it says on your invoices.

Yes good point nicki in making sure Christmas stuff is ordered in plenty of time just in case of stock problems.

Hope you both do well

Thanks lozza. I just checked online and its only showing up to C18 for me I guess sometimes it doesn't pay to be too organised with planning:rotfl:

Time for me to go through C16 and see what I can promote for my customers Going to look back at last years C16 and see what I ordered and promoted.

Roll on getting back in a routine and back on track with everything avon wise. I'm really struggling to clear my head ATM and seem to be constantly chasing my tail or moving boxes of things around. My livingroom looks like a warehouse

lozza1985

Hopefully after your next order has been submitted it should show up c1

I ned to get my avon stuff more organised too haha ive only just started and have things all over im hoping that my christmas sales are good but this campaign is going good for me so may not go as well.

A customer has just given me an order and asked if i can take a few books for her to take into work for some of the girls there. Yay

Leannemarie - she sounds like someone you could convert to a rep! Would be a great start if you wanted to become a sales leader!

leannemarie18

thats a good point brown owl however i start uni in a few weeks and just dont have the time to do that, sounds exciting tho, i just dont have the time to put into it.

Ive just had a foot soak using my new footworks berry vanilla foot soak, then the scrub, then a bath using my avon blackberry&vanilla bubblebath and now using my avon moisturiser, oh and i read my latest HT whilst in there. AVON'S taking over my life!
