First day of Avon

She is doing the same thing. She started thinking about it and then got layed off her job so now she knows she won't be buying for herself! I did tell her tho, that a good thing to do is to buy some of the cheaper things...like lip balms or whatever i about a dollar...buy 25 of them and then offer them as a freebie with a large order or some way to entice the customers to buy more for a freebie. Plus, the rep gets the order credit for that order so that would help in her percent commission. GOod luck!

It is hard no to buy when there are good deals you can get but I am trying to supplement our income and all of it will be going to my girls' dance classes at first then to other bills around the house. I want to keep up with the way they are used to living even if less money is coming in right now. We didn't live extravagantly but I would like to keep their dance classes and the ability to go out once in a while even if it's just for some ice cream.

Just did that. I also bought some items that where on a good sale for a craft show I am working in a few weeks. I will have my jewelry out but I thought since I already have the table I would bring some products and brochures to take orders with me. As a new rep I get the 40% for the first 4 campaigns I think so I am trying to take advantage of that as well since3 I can get the items at their cheapest this way. I really only started to think about it when Hubby was laid off again. Since in school and starting a new career path I know he will not be getting the pay he used to get again any time soon as he will need experience of coarse. So I will try to make the deference this way.

Thanks! I haven't done too bad I have a few orders but they are not bear the average order price the company tells you. I am sure though it is the area..

If they don't tell me it's changed I probably won't know I haven't really looked in years and I was impressed with some of the ides they have had but we'll see. I just didn't want to seem pushy or as a beggar ya know.

That's true. Nice to know a rep is available.

OK. I take my brochures with me to the kids dance classes and Dr. visits. Left one at the vet's and what not. I also set up an e-store which I have had a couple purchases through which is nice. I haven't gotten any orders near What Avon says is the normal or average purchase but I think it is the area I am in as it is rural and poor. We'll see so far not bad, not millionaire but not bad.

okay so keep it up good luck

I am not looking to get rich but a little extra cash to make ends meet would be nice. Thank you!

oh sorry, i wasn't implying you were! lol!

Wow My S.I.L. has been selling for 12 years and has never had a problem with the company. Problems with buyers here and there but not the company! May I ask what country are you in? I wonder if it is different in different places.

Thanks it is a little easier to be behind a company that has been going for 125 years!

Yes they do. I just ordered the baby and my niece (they are 4 months apart) the cutest little eyelet white dresses to match when we go to a family reunion in June! So cute. Actually they have a lot of none make up items, I was surprised.

Thank you and I will I hope. I think some of my nerves are becasue I have never sold something before that I hadn't made so I am nervous standing behind some one else's product. Now Avon is celebrating 125 years so I know it is a well loved product, just nerves.

Thank you very much!
