I only did family and friends and a few peeps around my street and the order was £50 ish. I got my territory the other day so I will know how well it will do in the next 2 weeks. You have to order £78 before you start making money and you get 20% for anything between £78 - £150 and if you order over £150 you get 25%.
You may not get that many orders from your first books because a lot of people have been given Avon books before and then the Avon lady never pics the book up or they have left an order but the Avon lady never delivers it, so once they know that you are regular, you will find you get more orders. If you work, giving it to work friends for them to take and let their family look at is good too. I am thinking of going back to class so that I can give out a couple of books!
