  • You don't have to have a territory but if you want to make money and get your commission it would be better too. Once you have done a couple of brochure drops or recanvassed the area you will soon find out who want to buy Avon and who doesn't. I use the Recanvassing leaflets in the Sales Kit on your Avon Rep page, that way you won't have to pay out for brochures. OR I use the old brochures and have a flyer I put with them saying something along the lines of "This brochure is out of date but shows you the products that Avon now sell, please contact XYZ if you require a brochure" this doesn't work if the houses have older people living in them though who might not have a mobile phone or email. I realise you not know who lives in the houses unless you do your own street though
  • Hello :) Quick question from returning rep... the brochure links in the op take me to the epages brochures, which is fab as they are my favourite. But the website is asking me for a username and password, and saying it is from AVON UK, which it never used to do, I could access the brochures without any password. Is this a legit request?
    TIA :)

    Hello! My name's Jess and I've been a rep for 15 months and sales leader for one month, how do people go about getting reps interested? I'm moving out of my territory and looking for someone to take over, even though there's a fab offer on and I'd be handing customers over on a plate, I'm still getting zero interest.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong and neither my SL nor my ASM has any inclination to help me it seems!

    So your seeking to recruit someone in your old territory to manage,so you can benefit from your hard work building it up is that right?

    Another good reason to avoid all the SL spiel they keep giving you. Maybe you'll have more luck once we're out of summer and heading towards Christmas. May just be easier to step back down into rep position as I think you need to have a certain number of reps under you and placing orders (5 is it?) before you can get any commission off them.

    I've just become an Avon rep yesterday. I was one briefly about 10 years ago when I was a student but decided to take it up again to earn extra cash,

    I have a territory in my street and 40 books to start. Got my sights set on the free gift box for ordering over £160! Is this achievable with door calls only do you think in my first campaign?

    Hoping it goes well! :)

    Where on the site do I order more books, order forms etc? I can't find that bit.

    Thanks

    Hi everyone! I've just become an Avon rep for the first time on Monday! I've been really nervous as only had a week until this campaign finished but so far I've got £100 in orders with some books still out with f&f and one street left to collect. I didn't manage to do my whole territory this time though. I'm really worried when it comes to delivering orders and collecting payment that people would have changed their minds 😕 Would love to get up to £160 but think that'll be pushing it a bit for my first order! Lol. I've liked reading all the advice on here so thank you :-)

    Just to update - smashed the £160 HOV just from door to door book drops alone and getting the free box hurrah! Great first campaign :)

    An update from me as well - I also staged the £160 HOV! So happy with first campaign! Just hope everyone pays and my 2nd campaign is just as good!
  • Hi there,
    I have a quick question, if anyone can help please?

    I took a C17 to share with family and have some orders from it. I decided to put the order down (but not place it yet - just save it) and two items my Mum ordered, it comes up saying they can't be ordered yet in this campaign.. however, other items that I have listed from the same campaign had no problems going through.
    Will I need to wait until the next Campaign is on before re-trying to order these items for my Mum?
    Thanks
