Avon Representatives.what sale or achievement are you most proud of?
Posted Monday, June 8, 2009 by admin
I just started, this is my 3rd campaign. Things aren’t looking pretty, but I am trying. I have a small newsletter, I have run specials, and contests.
Any words of advice to give me?

I’ve been with Avon for two and a half years. My greatest thrill was reaching President’s Club by the end of my first year. I started really slow, I was working full time, and it was just money for extras/emergencies.
You are already doing things to maintain your customers, goodonya! Here are some ideas, my apologies if some seem like pretty basic knowledge.
Give customers rewards for referrals that turn into orders.(This gets your customers “working” for you)
Don’t be afraid to have helpers who take the brochures into work and collect orders for you. I don’t recruit, but if that’s the way you want to grow, helpers often evolve into recruits.
Approach social committee representatives from offices/factories in your town. They often plan functions like staff Christmas parties and fundraisers. I sell 100 Christmas centrepieces to one company every year, roughly a $2500 order.
Never toss out old brochures. Slap a sticker on them that says “Contact me for a current brochure” and leave one or two at drop points; laundromats, hair salons, doctor and dentist offices, anywhere people have time to kill.
Spend wisely. Don’t be romanced by every AOP and demo. If you can’t sell it, or use it to grow your business, it’s a bad investment. I made this mistake my first year and came very close to giving up. In order to clear out the stuff, I had a Customer Appreciation Shopping Day at my house, by invitiation only. I sold it off at better-than-sale prices, right around Christmas shopping time, and made back a good chunk of my money.
Check out Yahoo! Groups and join an Avon one or two. It’s a great source for ideas.
If there are sales meetings in your area, try your best to attend. Sneak previews are cool, but free stuff is even better!
Remember; hobbies can COST money, businesses can MAKE money. Treat it like a business, not a hobby.
I wish you great success with your Avon business.
