    i am gonna stop doing avon i have just been round with my orders to find out that they dont want them now as there is anther avon rep doing the same streets as what i did and they have ordered of them so now i am stuck with an order for £20 and one for £18.
    I am really not happy about this at all if there is anyone on here that is doing avon on the grange park estate blackpool coluld u let me no please


    the exact same thing happened to me.
    so now i dont have an area. have contacted sales leader who contact area manager about it, and they werent bothered, they just told me to do family and friends as there are no other areas for me.

    so now i am just doing it with people at work, friends and family. not making a fortune off it, but always make enough to get 25% commission which covers the make up etc that i would buy out of it xxx
  • yes i think i might end up doing that as well hun

    That as also actually happened to me this week.

    I went to one of my customers houses to collect her book. And she told me not to bother in future as she as started doing Avon herself. Fair enough. But then I knock on all the other houses of my regulars down the same street, about 20 houses. And they have ALL bought off the new rep.

    Apparently because I have most of the teritory in the area, they have had to give her mine. But I have been told not to worry as my regs will still order from me, even though they have all ordered from her this time. My ASM doesnt seem to understand what I'm trying to say to her, that its not fair that I've been doing these streets for months!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    that is bloody appalling.

    I am speechless, utterly furious on your behalf.

    I am sandwiched in between two reps and always worried about losing my territory. why can't she rep away from her home area? or at least tell you so you don't waste your time.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I cant believe the way that Avon is treating reps, yrs ago u had ur area and that was it, god forbid anyone who even dare test the water with their big toe!!
    It seems to be that in areas where reps are plentiful, that Avon do not care who does what area as long as they are making the money, its ok for them saying friends and family etc, there still getting their %.

    I think that is more of a reflection of the changes within society in general. This may be seen as a symptom of the problem.

    hi guys, i have a couple of questions. i started on c9 but my SL didnt have any books left so my first order was c10 which iv just placed. does the Hello Tomorrow mag come with your order? I dont have one :confused:

    she left me some little avon sale brochures for campaign 10 so do these go out with your campaign 11 books? also, when i order from these do i change to 10 in the little drop down box on the online order form? hope that makes sense!!

    thanks :D
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    My ASM gave me a few new roads last week so on Tuesday I posted 48 books on one of the new roads. I've been away for a few days so I just went to collect them and it turns out another rep already done that road! Big annoyed to be honest, spent ages getting all the books ready, posting them and then collecting them and all for nothing! And the other rep is likely to be annoyed if one of her customers mentions i've been round.

    Going to email my ASM and get her to check her spatial mapping again and give me some streets that are actually free! I'm not doing the other roads she's given me until I know they are definitely vacant.

    My orders are a bit low this campaign as well, just over £250, had over £330 for the past three campaigns. It wouldn't be so bad but I have to put some on my OH's account, only putting £30 this time though.
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
