    Returns form to print out - go to "order tracking" and click on the link saying "returns form" (or words to that effect - if you read along the row it'll say the campaign, the order number, what type of order, and there should be a link in pink just to the right).
    I used to have my Avon turnover (sales) here. They've been removed because it's not appropriate to talk about those kinds of sales as if they're realistic for a new Rep to aim for. :( I signed up at the right time, right place, and was very lucky.

    I was lucky enough to join on thursday and had a very helpful SL plus marsdencuckoo has been encouraging me for a few months now that it's not so scary.

    My SL gave me nearly 50 books, bags and forms, hand outs and loads of info. I was also lucky enough to get some streets I can walk to so I can keep fit.
    I knew a lot of how it works coz of this thread so I was part prepared anyway, esp when I saw an Avon book outside the 3rd house I went to.

    I've made HOV and have yet to pick up my books and pop them out again one more time before I order on Monday.

    Im not trying any back ordering to be creative on the orders incase it interferes with my numbers for rising stars 2, etc

    Im indebted MarsdenCuckoo

    thanks very much

    Ah bless, well done you! Really pleased to have played a small part in your journey. Hope your Avon business is a great success but the main thing is to organise things so it fits around your life rather than the other way round. (Don't ever think of Avon in terms of an hourly pay rate.... bit unfair anyway because which employer would ever pay you for watching the TV or surfing the Net whilst 'working'?! :T)
    Your choice but if you are well over HOV do give some thought to Creative Ordering. It's deffo easier though if you don't do any returns until after you've achieved the various stages of the Rising Star scheme that are within your reach. ;)

    Good luck!

    Excellent post Mm :T

    All legals done, personal support, training guides/videos, ready-made website to sell branded products on a sale or return basis.... and you can even try it totally free (to see what you can earn) without a penny piece in your pocket! Absolutely no-brainer.... no idea why everyone's not an Avon rep! :rotfl:

    :( Sad thing is that in my area the Rising Star scheme has now finished. Make the most of it peeps if it's still an option for you.

    I just started with Avon & just got in from my first book pick up. Out of 18 books only 6 were outside the door (2 orders though!) so I'll have to go round chapping on doors later on.

    I don't want to bother my neighbours - any tips on how to be casual about it? Or even if this is possible?

    Thanks again for this handy thread :)

    Welcome to the thread m_m. See you've got some excellent advice from Mt2. Only replying because am generally nosy... 'chapping' is that a Scottish term?

    Need a bit of help - one of my customers loves the skin so soft tanning moisturiser. However we can't find it in any of the books! I've had a check and can't see that it's been discontinued, so I guess it's been taken out for the moment to make space for the Christmas stuff.

    Does anyone have any idea if it is definitely still current, and when it's going to be back in the brochures? I've checked the online links using the search and couldn't seem to find it.

    Have you checked on Avon Connects? Apparently there's a full list of products being discontinued there.

    I checked back too and no mention of it when the SSS was repackaged. My guess is that it'll probably be brought back in the Spring but who knows....?

    Yeah found the list but can't see it on there, just seems odd for it not to be in the brochures for so long, never happened before for so long as she buys it regularly and have always been fine over the winter.

    Hmm.... Any chance she may go for the Sun+ self-tanning oil or even the SSS Golden Glow range?

    I think she might have to, just hope she likes them otherwise that's a regular order gone.
