One Rep Resigns

Well, I have had a fab few days off - as you can choose to when you work with AVON.

Though while I was away I did have a little REP trouble...

Well, my existing team (as a Trainee Sales Leader) is only two REPS and this is what has happened:

REP ONE
- already works as a hairdresser and is quite liking the AVON idea, though she didn't have many customers in her first week or so, she is thinking of giving it a better go in the next campaign and doing her territory a bit better too, so she is convinced that she would like to continue.

The only problem might be that she would have to pay 40% tax on a second income (as she is already self-employed). Now, we are hoping that because AVON products are essentially linked and are HAIR and BEAUTY products that perhaps it can be included in her existing earnings and be taxed at the normal rate. If anyone knows the answer to this - please please let me know, so that I can help her - she will in the meantime get onto the Inland Revenue to see if she can get it agreed from the top.

REP TWO
-Seemed like she needed a bit of extra coaching from the moment that she joined me. She put the books round (with a bit of help), and then has now informed me that it isn't going to work with her current benefits and that she is too scared of losing her money from the government, so despite getting an order from a customer, she has returned the order and resigned! (I think this is probably the shortest REP-LIFE in the history of REPS...!!!)

Well, as a NEW TRAINEE SALES LEADER, I will just have to follow up the new leads that I have and not take this as a bad start... just accept that it isn't going to be handed to me on a plate, that my website will start working soon, that I will have to TRY HARDER :)

I am having a meeting with my own Area Sales Leader tomorrow, so hopefully she will have some tips for me ... and maybe some LEADS too :)
