Avon - checklist for success


You have either started your Avon business, or are ready to Start or you just need a shot in the Arm of Avon Vitamins.  That is what I am here for.  
The key is accomplishing repetitive tasks over and over, and only repeating those things that work.
If you aren't getting the customers you want, ask yourself, "How's this technique going for me?" If the answer is "I'm broke and my phone is turned off", then you need a new plan.
Just Stick With IT!


Here are a few things that I do that might help you - no they will help you, but will YOU take the time to make it happen?  Anything worth having in life takes time to inncubate.  Successful people take the time to do the right things that will make them a success.  They do the things unsuccessful people won't do.




 If someone says, "NO", don't give up.  If you don't try, you never know what could have been.  Trying is not sitting on the couch waiting for someone to call you.  It won't happen.  You need to set up a schedule and stick to it.  This is tough love lesson #1.....
                  **************
Download the Square to your phone - get the money for the products up front - pay your bill on time - deliver the products - ba da bing ba da bong.  Just do it - you won't regret it.  No orders on hold. No late orders submitted or paid.

EVERY MORNING - Get up early, get DRESSED as if you are going to work.

No one will ever TELL you how to dress - you need to be Business Casual - I tend to over dress because my customers like it and feel like I dressed up just for them.  Here's an article I wrote on Business Casual

                                                                   ****************

  Today....work from your list of 50 People that you coded are
 1) loving Avon and will help you with an order
 2) Love bling and accessories
3) need money.

Send them the texts that go with the personality attributes.  Send me a text if you don't have these.   Oh and just for tomorrow, repeat what you did today.
Opportunities to get customers/reps for your team.  

Attend Events:
Go to Sales Meetings - the next one is: NOVEMBER 28 2016 - DENNEYS IN SCOTTSDALE AT 6:30 PM

Develop a ritual of calling your customers the Tuesday before your orders are due.  Let them know you need the orders and money before Friday (if your order goes in on Sunday).  

Before you hang up, ask for the number of three friends.  She might not give you three but she will give at least one.

"Sue can you think of anyone else who could benefit from having someone deliver their personal care products for free?"

"Sue what friend would you like me to give 20% off on her first order?"

                 ********************

Consider inputting your orders on Friday instead of Sunday so if you have any technical difficulties, you can call customer service.

                 ********************

Get up, stay up, be smart and dress the part! You may wonder if you've got what it takes to take it but just smile and fake it til you make it!!!

The more you learn the more you earn~ Frank Clark

#1 - login and do your training!  Go to Avon University and take all the classes.
Doing so will make you more effective and give you more credibility.
*********************

Make Flyers - you can get some on the Avon site and personalize them, or you can create your own.  Just DO IT.  Then take them and put them up anywhere you know women will congregate.  Laundrymats, Beauty Parlors, Bulletin boards everywhere - stores, apartment buildings.

Use OLD books to drop in mass.  If you don't have any old books, call me or your District Sales Manager.
Use stickers that are cute but will get them to call you.   If you use NEW books, people who don't want Avon will just throw them away.  If the people do 
Here's one:

********************

Use the sheet that lets you know what book we are on and what campaign
I call it , "Who's on first".
ask me for a current sheet or a new one for 2017

***********************

SAVE MONEY
Be organized - when you turn your order in late you lose 4.95 - that is 120.00 in a year.
Train your customers to turn in their money and orders early so you don't feel pressured to place additional orders after your order has already gone in - that is a savings of 9.95 per extra order or 400.00 in a year

**************************

Have Goals - What do you want? Decide on a dollar amount
I want 300 in my pocket - that means I have to get 750.00 in orders of mostly AVON products, not the items we just get 20% on - like shoes, clothes, purses, etc.,
Do NOT stop until you get the amount of orders you need for your goal.  Don't sit down, go to the movies, hang out at the mall - you are a busy person - go get your orders and achieve your goal!

*************************
SEE YOURAVON.COM FOR THE NEW WAY YOU ARE GETTING PAID, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A NEW REP!



Don't be your own best customer

Many reps make the mistake of ordering a LOT of demos then they can't pay for them.
Don't jeapordize your business - treat your self when you deserve it.
Work to deserve it.

When you get enough orders - your customers are paying for your shipping from Pasadena because you charge each one .75.  If you don't have enough customers, that 5.95 comes out of your commission instead of you enjoying all of your commission.

*****************************

Order books everytime.   The one time you don't have books is when that customer will ask for one.

Dress and look like a beauty consultant even at Albertsons. Every time you meet someone there interviewing you as their future boss or their future beauty consultant. Don't let that first meeting be without make up and torn jeans and a sweatshirt without a bra.  I call that the walk of shame down aisle 6.

The day after we submit an order, I start immediately stamping books and dressing them.
I get these little bags on ebay or amazon - 4 x 5 favor bags
I put a business card and a lipstick in them.

When you are prospecting, no one can refuse them.


Write thank you notes - I send them to you, my customers, my DSMs
If you want to come over and make some just call me.  Just plain productive creative fun and better for your business that kicking back and watching a video...


Be that person!!!


Have a raffle at an office building or event - give a basket of Avon products
Collect dozens of new customers.
Come over some time to make a sign or ask me how to earn one for free.


You can make a lot of money by working hard in this business or working smart.
The answer is asking people to be on your team and
never forgetting the Avon Motto

Anytime, Anywhere, Always Ask


ADD TO YOUR TEAM!!!!

Ask your friend.....
What would YOU do with an extra 100.00?

By inviting someone to share your business, you reap new benefits under Avon's September 16 plan  Watch this movie on my youtube.com/kdaymayday





Call me today to help you bring someone aboard!
I do the work, you get the $ and glory!
