BEST AVON DAY....EVER - SUPER EVENT!

BEST AVON DAY......E V E R

  

So, Thelma and I did the event, a craft fair at our local school.

I've done enough of these things to know you have to deeply discount the items from the catalog prices.  So once your business is up and you are enjoying a steady profit, start stocking up on little things that match your tags on your prize wheel.  

Where do I get a Prize Wheel?

Ebay has a lot - choose from 35.00 to 380.00 - seriously, mine was 35.00 and I only buy from Ebay when it is free shipping.   Search Ebay for Avon  Prize wheel STICKERS or make your own.

Learn more from Experienced Reps 

You can go to youtube.com and search for some of the top people, like Emily Seagren, Milagros and Carlos Garcis, Molly Stone-Bibb, etc., I watched a video by Milagros and she said to take the items that you bought in large quanties and make little 5.00 baskets.  It may appear like you are losing money but you are going for volume and new customers.  As many of you know Milagros is a top achiever in Avon, who's annual income is in the 7 figures.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56JXzcGQ2jo

Ok so I had product bundles of 12.00 worth of items for 5.00.  Another basket had   and 5.00 worth of items for 3.00.  I also had spa bundles of 35.00/ for 12.00

These were bundles left over from Mother's day that I wanted to cycle through my system.

This was our mistake!

We had the prize wheel in back and that was for people to spin if they did a 25.00 order or if they decided to become a rep they could spin it 2 times.

So many people kept coming up and saying they wanted to play the wheel game.  "How much is the prize wheel game.?"   I watched a little girl walk up and spin it and when another girl said, "No you have to buy 25.00 to play that game".....she walked away all dejected.  Suddenly a big Italian man, with a New Jersey accent came up and sternly said, "My daughter wants to play the wheel game!".  

Thelma and I looked at each other, looked at the game in the back of the table and she raced over while I was making a sign and clearing room for it.  "$3.00 please -  spin away".  That was the game changer for us.

We got this epiphany and decided to make it the focal point IN FRONT AS THEY APPROACHED.  3.00 you get to spin the wheel. " If you are a kid and land on boring tax free order, you get to spin it again."  We had lots of "cricut" cute signs already made up to showcase the sale items, but when we flipped one over and hand scrawled  "Spin the Wheel - $3.00".....everything flipped.  We met more wonderful people, made great friends, people stopped and looked more.   

Partner up with someone new -

Learn a new approach or technique to make friends.  This was my first time to work with Thelma and we really had a good time.  We split the fee of the booth and basket.

Take Aways

Only one entry in the raffle per person.  We forgot to say this.

Bring tape, scissors, - since I had some pins, we were ok for minor signage adjustments.

Raffle tickets - glad we got some at Smart and Final - good investment.

More 1-3.00 items next time

It's hard to know what to bring - I got a great cart at Harbor Freight but I think I need a BIGGER one, because I always bring too much...and not enough...

Definitely a few 10-15.00 items so that when they spin the wheel they really do have a chance for a tremendous savings if they win a 12.00 item for 3.00

From Thelma - If kids are involved, add a section for candy on the wheel.

From Thelma - have another jar of jelly beans or something they can pay to hazard a guess of how many are in the jar.  

What other games would keep them at the booth?  Let's add some ideas at the next meeting..  

From Thelma - "One thing I really stress out to new reps it to get out of their comfort zone and make a commitment to go out there at least 3 times a week and talk to people.

It was a good day!  Thelma learned a lot -  She got an order for 58.00 and sold an Elephant for 20.00 and some other things. so our combined gross was around 300.00 for a total of 3 hours.

I am staring at 190.00 in 3 hours.  Also I have 1 appointments for tomorrow and 1 for Thursday.  

good day!  Thelma learned a lot - she brought product but I had everything all set up because I didn't think she was going to sell - thought she was there to recruit.  She got an order for 58.00 and sold an Elephant for 20.00 and some other things. so our combined gross was around 300.00 for a total of 3 hours.

What should you do?

Call your District Manager and set up an Event Date.  She has a list of Libraries who would love to have us have a Breast Cancer Awareness/recruiting events weekly.  

Events are exciting, educational, exhausting and satisfying, but most of all, you get results.

I'm a new Avon Rep...what do I do now?

I'm a new Avon Representative--how do I launch my Avon home-based business?

Let's give you some fool proof New Rep info!!

Avon has an awesome tour for new reps in Avon University,  Just only place an order when your leader tells you too. If you do make sure that it is over $100 please.  Everything has to be on time so that you always qualify for incentives, trips and prizes!!

 Checklist for Success 

Here are a few tips you can print down and use as a checklist for success. 

1.  Take the new rep training in Avon University - it's state of the art, free, gets you up and running quickly!
While this is designed for New Representatives, most of these steps are applicable at any point in our Avon careers!

A B Cs to Start Earning with Your Avon Business

a.  Write down your “Who Do You Know List”
Cell phone contacts
Facebook friends
E-mail contacts
Twitter followers
Instagram followers
Family tree
Neighbors
Church Directory
Social Groups (Bowling Leagues, Book Clubs, etc.)
Kids School Teachers / PTA
Set up your eStore

b. Email and Share #3 from Avon Social Media Center on youravon.com to everyone on your list from your “Who Do You Know List” (Facebook, Email, Twitter, Instagram)

c. Put your contact information, including your name, telephone number, eStore address, date you need the order by on your brochures

d. Hand out the brochures and get contact information from everyone that you give the brochure to and ask for referrals. (a sticky note on the cover works well!)

e. Daily Care Bundle Flyer (put your contact information on the first one and make copies):
text to all of your telephone contacts (take a picture of your flyer)
upload to your social media accounts
e-mail to all of your contacts in your address book
give to everyone that you know and/or meet in person

f. Remember the 4 A’s of Avon… Always Ask Anywhere Anytime

g..  Follow up with everyone!! Collect orders and payment

h.  Place and Submit your order in your account on www.youravon.com on or before your order due date. Remember to order more brochures (please refer to your Avon calendar for dates) CHECK WITH ME FIRST BEFORE YOU ENTER ANYTHING - I WANT TO HELP YOU.

I.  Repeat for next Campaign!

J. Take your business to the next level! Start your Avon team! You can earn a bundle of products valued at over $125 just for referring 1 person and $35 for each additional team member!!  Who do you know that would benefit from an additional income? Your up line or I will  help you get them started!

2.  If you haven't signed up for Facebook - my sit and the district site please do so immediately. HTTPS://www.Facebook.com/groups/MEYERSMAKEUPMAVENS/

District Site
https://www.facebook.com/groups/AvonDistrict7291/

3.  Communication is key with me. I really  urge you do whatever it takes to keep your phone ringing.  This is so that you can be in contact with me and let me know how you're doing and any struggles you're having so that I can eradicate them immediately.  If there is one bill an Avon Rep needs to pay it is the phone bill.   Remember - no calls, no customers, no cash.

4. Give the books Avon or I give you out to people you know will support you and place an order -----personally give it to them with smile and a sample. Let them know that you take all major credit cards and debit cards and to let you know which one they would like you to use when they place the order.
Later, you will need to add books to your order - and/or earn them from me.

So if I give you 10 books - that is 10 orders ;) see?

English and Spanish Brochure Pricing the more you order, the cheaper they are Order in Packs of 10. Buy more and save more! Take advantage of discounted quantity pricing. Pack # Brochures Cost Ea. Total 1 10 brochures 64.9¢ $6.49 2 20 brochures 44.5¢ $8.89 3 30 brochures 38.0¢ $11.39 4 40 brochures 34.2¢ $13.69 5 50 brochures 30.2¢ $15.09 6 60 brochures 26.8¢ $16.09 7 70 brochures 24.8¢ $17.39 8 80 brochures 23.5¢ $18.79 9 90 brochures 22.3¢ $20.09 10 100 brochures 21.5¢ $21.49 11+ $21.49 for the first 10 packs plus $1.69 for each additional pack Please Note: A 5 pack of brochures in Spanish is available for purchase for $3.99

5. We get the funds up front from the customer.  No funds, no ship.  Just like Target and Walmart!    Make sure Square is downloaded this week to your phone so that you can deposit credit card payments directly to your account and it will be waiting there for you to make your payment after you submit your orders.

Keep your credit card processing free by sending out YOUR code to everyone you know after you sign up with this one.  Interesting note to remember on this.  When you put in a card and $$$ on Thursday night by midnight, it will appear in your bank on Monday -  All other transactions seem to go right into your account immediately.

https://squareup.com/i/32382B4E

https://nextdoor.com/invite/asxdycbcscjjnbayzqex

6. Please join Nextdoor and place a classified ad letting everyone know that you're the local Avon lady and that you're giving a free gift away for any order taken before the submission day.  When your friends start a neighborhood in a place that has never had a nextdoor neighborhood, Nextdoor will send you and the person who signed up with your code a 25.00 Amazon card.

7. Always jot down an email or phone number so you can follow up and you can also enter them into your website with their email address so that Avon will send free marketing materials to them like free shipping, Free products, etc.

No phone number, no follow up, no fun times!

8. Leaving books around town is a serious waste of new money because you have no idea who picks one up.  You have no one to call and you've lost all your books.

9. If you ever want to do a large book drop campaign ask me for old ones. We can put a sticker on it that says "this is an old book the prices may be the same or lower but please call me for a new book (your name your number)" this way anyone picking up a book and calls, you will know is a serious customer.

10. Start sending people to your website using your web office social media. (Today if they do a $50 order with a code of Totebag, they also get a black nylon puffy tote. 11/4/2015) This changes daily.

11. If I hadn't entered myself in my own website address book with a different email address I would've never gotten that message.

12. Once you get a message like that you need to send it out to your customers via text or Facebook with the picture of the free item that day.

13. Set a reminder in your phone for every other Friday and every other Tuesday if you are in RPS 8:

 Please refer to the Holiday Schedule for Campaign s 24-26

We have 26 campaigns for 52 weeks in a year, however, the last 4 campaigns, we start having orders go in every WEEK and your schedule will change.  For my existing reps, you can print down this JPG to your cell phone and you can print one down from here:

Open your website and go to this page - print down the schedule that goes with your delivery day.  If you don't remember what RPS you are, ask me.
http://www.youravon.com/REPSuite/resourcelibrary_RPSschedules.page

on the Tuesday before we submit make a note that says "call my customers."

On the Friday before we submit make a note that says "get my orders into today while customer service is still open" (ours orders have to be in usually by Sunday at midnight but there's no customer service to help you at that time)

14. Of course this message is anyone who's for RPS eight if you don't know what your RPS his contact me and I'll let you know when to put the code in your phone

15.  If I made you flyers which I try to do for all new people but if I didn't get yours out to you please let us know where you put them up and what success you had with them.  You can speak into Siri and just say "laundrymats near me" for starters.

16. HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS HAVE MORE $$ TO SPEND WITH AVON.

This code, when copied and pasted into an email and clicked on will allow them to get additional 6-8% off .  

USE THIS CODE TO SIGN UP FOR FREE
http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=VADTd7HTZCVAPpD4MGL7iA%3D%3D&eeid=26471

Then when they go to your website they place an order so you give them the code plus a picture of what's free that day, and by all means a link to your personal website.) youravon.com/mysitenamehere

DIRECTIONS TO GIVE YOUR CUSTOMER
1.  They must open their Ebates account and minmize it,
2.  then open your website and minimize it.
3.  Go back to Ebates and click on Avon and it will now hook them up to your site.
4.  They will get 8% PLUS any %off your Avon code of the Day will give them.
5.  If they go over the magic number of the day for Avon (25.00, 40.00) they will also get free shipping.
6.  Once per quarter, Ebates will pay them $$$ based on the websites they visited and ordered from providing they clicked on their account prior to going to that website.

17. Get yourself on the Internet by taking my training class via silent video. Just stop and do each step.  If it goes too fast stop and rewind.

http://www.YouTube.com/kdaymayday

18.  If you have only gotten one order and you are due to submit before the end of the week, you need to reevaluate your plan.  Try watching the video on excuses at http://www.YouTube.com/kdaymayday  This isn't aimed to make you feel bad, it should open your eyes to new possibilities for getting orders.

Maybe those things will make the light bulb of ideas get you pumped!!!

What do you really need?

 I hope these things help you.  Most important thing I can tell you is to not give up asking people for orders until you reach your goal for the amount you really need to exist every two weeks.  

Remember this sheet!
Decide how much you NEED - keep asking until you get the sales that go with what you need in your pocket - DON'T STOP ASKING until you the the # of customer orders that it says you NEED.
Keep an eye on your hotpoints - those 1 cent increments that give you either 20% more income or 10% more income.

Not many people know that Avon has its roots deeply entrenched in Americana and Entrepreneurship

I love this story and I never get tired of telling it! I tell it the way one of my Aunts told me, because my Aunt Isabel (of Tucson) was an Avon Lady after she won Miss Arizona in 1930 at 15 years old.

 Isabel - Avon Lady

.
It starts back shortly after the Civil War......

below is the Avon story - David McConnell fancied himself to be a great novelist and book salesman- he decided that in 1886 (20 years after the Civil War) that he was going to go door to door in rural New York and try to sell his books.

 In those days, 34 years before women could vote, or purchase property, it was inappropriate for a woman to invite a man into her home without a proper chaperone. She was mostly there with her children trying to run the farm themselves after possibly losing her husband in the War. 

 Charles literally "could not get his foot in the door," and that is probably where that phrase came from. He went back to his office thinking, "Perhaps we need to have women selling to women?" So he hired Mrs. PFE Albee; a 50 year old woman, who began "peddling his books", via bicycle, walking and trolley.

 Not having telephones, people never knew when someone was coming, they always kept their parlor presentable and clean in the event someone dropped by. That's something that is still done today!

phones as we know them were invented 1876

 The people loved being visited by Mrs. Albee and when she would leave, she would ask, "Well, how many novels would you like?" The ladies would say, "Well, we don't want the books, but please come back and visit us again". With that she returned with her advice to Mr. McConnell. Since his partner would send him flowers and essences for his hobby of Perfume making, she said, "We need them to turn the pages as we talk, so let's put some of your perfume samples in the leaves of the books!"

 Going back to visit, they were eager to see her again and more excited about the fragrances and enthusiastically turned the pages. We do this today - you will find samples on each page! At the end of the visit, she would say, "How many books would you like?" Their reply would again be, "Well, none, but please come back again!". As she would smile and turn towards the door, one suddenly asked, ".....but how much for the perfume?" She smiled and turned back, not expecting this question, she held out her hand and said, "10 cents, please!"







 I love that story because it embodies community, entrepreneurship, independent thinking and success - this is everything we try to incorporate!

 This is from avon.com "(The company newsletter was even called the “Family Album.”) In one of his regular letters to Representatives, he wrote: “All success lies in one’s self and not in external conditions. … Misfortunes are only a discipline, and there are possibilities which often are awakened by them which suggest to us the power and strength we possess, that perhaps otherwise would never have been recognized.” No wonder the Representative ranks rose to 5,000 in just 13 short years."

Join my team and let's give you the life you are deserving of...You can become independent, strong and financially sound.  It starts with  making friends, wanting to help people take better care of their skin, and frankly, getting paid to do so!
