A: You should always send the paper contract with a signature immediately after completing the paperwork for an appointment.

If we have not received a paper or electronic signature after 45 days of appointment submission, we will remove the newly appointed Representative. Q: How do I know if the branch has received a signature? A: You can see a complete list for all of your appointments and any outstanding signatures by looking at the View Signatures needed report in the right corner of the top navigation bar. Q: Must I secure a Social Security Number? A: You must make every attempt to secure a Social Security Number. This information is critical for tax and identification purposes. When a Social Security Number is not provided, Avon enforces the IRS requirement of withholding 28% on cash payouts such as Sales Leadership earnings, incentive checks, etc. In addition, Representative accounts with missing, invalid, or duplicate SSNs are subject to periodic audit review.
Q: Why is cell phone now indicated with the Home and Work Telephone boxes? A: The New Representative can list a Home / Cell number as the primary contact or a Work / Cell as a secondary number. By providing a phone number, the New Representative is providing consent for Avon to call those numbers. Regardless of any listing on a federal or state Do Not Call List, providing a telephone number authorizes Avon to call the number given using an Agent, prerecorded message, automated dialers, or any other method that Avon may choose to use from time to time. Any new or additional cell, business, or home telephone numbers that are furnished to Avon may also be called using any of the methods listed above. Q: Where do I enter apartment number? A: Enter it as part of mailing street address. For example: 139 Oak Apt 14. (This is the same way that it should be entered on a paper contract.) Q: How do I get account numbers for an electronic appointment? A: Use the account number on the paper contract in the Appointment Kit. Q: When do I check the box above signature on a paper contract? A: Only check the box when the appointment was submitted using the Electronic Appointment Processing System, and the form is being sent to Avon to record the appointee s signature agreeing to terms and conditions. Do not check the box when the appointment is being processed by paper contract, as this will delay processing of the appointment. Q: What campaign will I get credit for an appointment submitted and processed online? A: The credit for an appointment is driven by which Campaign of 1st Order you enter for the appointment. If C10 was entered, then the addition would appear on your reports in C10. The only exception to this rule is if the New Representative submits an order for an earlier campaign, and it is processed. In this situation, the addition would appear on the report of the Campaign for which the order was processed. Q: What is the residence selection drop down for? A: This is to identify the appointee s housing arrangements. Select whether they own, rent or live with others. Q: How do I enter mailing street address when it exceeds 20 characters? A: Avon's database cannot accept an address longer than 20 characters including spaces. For larger addresses, please abbreviate as necessary. Specifically, you can shorten words like street, (St.) or avenue, as well as actual addresses. For example, 1221 Mountain Springs Road can be 1221 Mt. Springs Rd. If you have abbreviated all you can and verified the information but you still have additional instructions for delivery, use the special instructions for delivery field. In that field, you can write any information a delivery truck driver might need to get an order to the right place, such as leave on back porch, or trailer 34 on right. The address prints on a Representative s shipping label as follows: REPRESENTATIVE NAME SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS STREET ADDRESS CITY, STATE ZIP CODE
Please note that you can apply the special instructions to either the mailing or shipping address, but not both.

A: Most appointments are processed within 15 minutes of submission, meaning that your new Representative can register and order online almost instantly.

They must accept these terms and conditions in order to register and log into the youravon.com site. Note: Remember to follow-up with new Representative prior to their placing their first order, because if they place their first order prior to their campaign of appointment (early order), their campaign of appointment will change, and they may miss out on optimizing 40% earnings in their first campaign, as well as any incentives currently running. Upline may also miss out on BIYS bonus for new Representative due to early order.
