Deanos, if you dont pay in full, dont they hold back your next order?

The system is just flicking through each book when going through the orders :rotfl:

I even manage to mess that one up lol. I'm mourning the loss of my dining table and office since we've downsized, I tell you. They would have been ideal for the Avon stuff!

I tried that last time and my head was spinning after a little while - I had one of one order then one off another order and then I wasn't sure whether I had ordered everything else on that order form:o then some of it I ordered in C10 and some in C11 :wall: . It took me an age and I was gobsmacked when it all turned up correctly. I suppose it just takes practice...

I might rope the poor hubby in to doing it with me. I imagine if there's one person shouting the product number and page, etc, and the other one leafing through the brochures to find which ones best it's going to go quicker and more easily.

Must go because my three year old is in meltdown :O...i really don't know what's up with him today

Thanks Mikiki! That sounds like a great idea. How do you attach them? I never thought to keep an eye out for samples for new products either...thanks

I bought some clear circle stickers from WHSmith there about an inch wide and the perfect fit for samples. I think it was about £2 for 500!!!

I always advertise the latest perfume and always buy one for myself, I'm adicted to perfume lol.

Is it worth doing the same with the other types of samples aswell or better to do just perfume do u think?? i wanna give out samples to my customers but dont wanna buy a load that arent gonna get me any orders. selfish i know but i want doing this to b worth it!

I gave out samples with one of my campaigns and found it didnt really do much and was a lot of faff but this could vary from different areas. Sometimes i take an actually bottle of the perfume round for people to test and this can work.

Last week i got a letter saying I was in the top ten for sales in camp 11 in my area (of 318 reps) so was reeaaaallly pleased. I did an avon party last camp which defo helped and i also just put in the extra legwork and visited more houses. It was a lot of work but being in the top tem has made it worth it!

gemia

Thats really good well done, i was chuffed to come 2nd highest in my area on my first campaign got £301. this month has been really slow so im worried that im not even gonna make min order value!! im gonna have to get out and try more houses, which is gonna be mega hard cos i already work 42 hrs a week in my full time job has anyone got any time savings hints???

LiverpoolLouise

I work full time as well and it can be really hard to fit it all in. So far i havent found any time saving tricks. It just seems to be a matter of walking round and knocking on doors and hoping for the best!
I want to live in your area though- I was only tenth place and i put in an order for over £500! I've never worked so hard!!! Haha

I always use something thats making its first appearance in the book and I write a little note next to it in the little box on the order form such as.....


Anew Rejuvenate only £15 and you get a Beauty Bonus Bag FREE!

So that when the customers are writing out their order, they see my little note and hopefully it makes them think twice.

It should work with any sample when the product looks like a right bargin. I personally wouldnt advertise the Anew Rejuvenate if you didnt get a freebie. Everyone loves cheap things or freebies

Then when you collect the book, just mention something like "Did you try out that sample I left you?" or "What did you think of the sample?" then ALWAYS remind them of the returns guarantee if they are unsure if they would like to buy it or not.

(Can you tell I'm really bored at work today by the number of posts lol)
