Hello Ladies The purpose of this website is to assist both new Avon Representatives and those looking for a fresh look at things. We will discuss such topics as brochures, ideas on how to use them and why. If you are new to the business there are things you should do first to help get your business of the ground. I've seen many Avon Business struggle because the representative lacks the necessary motivation to get it going and keep it going. We'll also be discussing leadership, why it's important, what to expect from yours and if you become a Unit Leader what will be expected from you. No business can survive with out advertising, but where to start, Avon business cards, newspaper, brochures it can be mind boggling, but with a little thought we can wade through this. This site is a work in progress, I invite you to I hope you find the information useful, feel free to share it with those associated with your business. Are You Reaching Your Full Potential Selling Avon? Building a successful Avon business is more about business attitude than selling Avon. Here we discuss business ideas and how they pertain to operating and building your business. This is about being motivated and being able to motivate those in your business. Those Ladies that have reached Senior Executive unit Leader didn't get there because they were lucky and they didn't sell there way to the top either. Here are some bare bones basic business tools to help get you started. Now Open I wanted to create an environment wher ladies could shop for inspirational videos and books. having done that I figured I add other items I thought would interest you. Stop by The Virtual Mall and have a look see. I've included everything from clothing to jewelry, there is "chicken soup books", to come back here simply hit the home link on the mall page. If you have any comments you can email me, I value your opinion.
The truth (as I see it anyway) I've watched many Ladies get all excited about living the lavish lifestyle portrayed on Avon's promotional material. Can you achieve it - Absolutely! But most won't, Why? I suppose because they forget that it requires devotion and commitment. You must keep the dream (or reason) in front of you. Its also important to realize that "Rome wasn't built in a day". And you must realize that you must do things a little different. I've included some tips about the business as well as some creative products that HAVE worked in achieving your goals. Some people make excuses - others make money! more on truth Who Am I? I'm the husband of the "Avon Lady", I'm just a guy trying to help his wife with her business, I'm the upline motivater and representative co-applicant. My job is to inspire and encourage. This information is provided to all our ladies (and or gents) to assist them in building their business. I'm a professional photographer with a background in marketing. No that's not me above, I can't take the credit but it's good information and Jeffrey has a sandpaper like humor that I like. My wife asked me to design a few products that would assist her in building her business. She felt there was very little "out there" to accomplish this task. I set to work and put several items together that we have tested and found to be quite successful in attracting new business or to recruit new Ladies. I felt a more subtle approach would work the best - we are hammered all the time with adds are we not? Thank goodness for Tivo! I encourage you to have a look at the products I've created, you will I'm sure see the logic right away! I'm Trying To Help I believe its a husbands responsibility to help or at least encourage his wife - Not always so apparently. It seems to me that most Representatives are on their own and many receive little assistance from District Managers, or Up Line. I work with my wife because I see the commitment she has to her business, her Ladies and her customers. Introduce the product to your customers Educate them as to why they should deal with you and the Avon product line. Persist - If you have customers be there, don't give a brochure then never go back - keep going back Deliver the best service you can - if a product is on back order, go the extra mile, if you don't someone else will! Share the opportunity with others. Train those as you have been trained! Be A Work At Home Mom Everyone needs a hot button perhaps yours is to be a stay at home mom, be there for the kids when the leave for school or perhaps your little ones are not yet in school and you understand the importance of working your own hours. Perhaps your not interested building a large network of Ladies but simply to have a few customers. Isn't it great this is an opportunity for you also. There are many different ways to generate income while working at home but few offer the stability of the Avon Corporation. For those that are busy building their mega networking empire don't rule out these fine moms, there are more of them than you may realize, and they will provide a stable mix to your downline. Are You An e-Rep? You Should Be If you're going to compete with the movers and shakers you need to be serious about your business. You will need to attract sales whenever and wherever you can. Being an e-rep allows you to tap the internet with your own Avon site (you can customize it somewhat) you can direct friends and family from out of town to your site, customers that move can still deal with you. Your customers can order from the site, you get an e-mail informing you of the order. You will know if the customer has prepaid or if you have to collect when you deliver. The order is either sent to them (if they prepaid) or if sent to you, you'll collect. The cost is around $7.50 USD per campaign, and you go to youravon.com to sign-up. The cost is waived if you have an order through your site (for each campaign that you have an online order)Note: If your in leadership and want to use the downline manager you will need to be an e-rep. Remember to put you web address on your brochures, business cards, bumper sticker etc. you never know who will see your information. Advertising is A Must Those in business know this, I don't know of any way to build a business without advertising. We all know the caveman from Geiko right? What do you think of when you think of Affleck? your business? If your not achieving the levels you know that you can then you need to understand what the problem is. We use a more subtle (less annoying approach) its more subjective - lets face it every one wants to make more money right? What if you were wearing a sweatshirt that offered folks to do just that - MAKE MORE money? Check out the items we've designed and you will see how you can turn yourself into a "BILLBOARD" for your own business. The items are provided to get you thinking , you can design your own if you like there is a link on this page for cafepress , the process is easy and fun to try.more on advertising Updated Video Code For Your Blog or Myspace Page As promised your very own Myspace Avon Recruit add.
