AVON Networking, Advertising, Marketing.

AVON gives Representatives all the support and tools they need to run our businesses. One of those tools includes our Sales Meetings. They usually occur on a monthly basis and are fabulous ways to do the following:

1. Increase product knowledge
2. Preview new items in person that are coming out in future campaigns
3. Networking with other AVON Representatives

Out of all of these, I think that the most important is being able to gain experience from others in the room. Networking keeps you motivated about your business. Make no mistake...if you're an AVON Representative, you are in sales and you have one main goal and that is to earn money. If you treat it as a business, you'll do that. If you treat it as a hobby , then you'll make some money, just not a lot.

Attending the Sales Meeting allows you to expand your knowledge from things that others before you have tried and completed successfully yet gives you the opportunity to implement the idea utilizing your personality and skills. The free gifts, samples, and recognition offered at the sales meetings for those attending help too!

Think about it for a second. Networking occurs in all types of settings as does Advertising/Marketing. It even occurs when you're out to lunch or having coffee with a friend. How many times have you complimented someone on a lipstick shade or their skin? When such a situation arises, your conversational partner will inevitably share which product they're using.

The same is true when you converse with other business owners. When you have a conversation and exchange business successes, both parties learn at least one thing that is valuable and might be a usable piece of information which you can apply to the running of your AVON business.

One thing that I've always known from Direct Marketing. It is one of the first things I ever learned...

"If you want to be successful in your business, you should surround yourself with others who are successful."
