A passion for helping - Part 2

Well, it's the beginning of a new season and time to get back into the school year routines.  A fresh start.  I like that about fall.  I think that others feel the same way because for me, it's the best AVON Recruiting time of the year.

There's a few different reasons that people start thinking about selling AVON this time of year.

1. The holidays are just around the corner and they need the extra cash.
2. They're a "seasonal" seller.  Rather than sell all year round, some AVON Representatives re-sign this time of year so that they can order AVON at the Representative discount and earn enough by taking orders from friends, co-workers, and family to pay for their personal shopping.  In essence, they're getting to shop for "free".
3. The last kid has finally started school and mom needs to do something to get out of the house to socialize, but she doesn't want to return to boring 9 to 5 J. O. B.

Whatever your reason, whether it is one of the above, or you're looking for a full-time career, AVON can fit right into your lifestyle.  Determine your goals (make sure they're specific), make a  plan, and follow it.

I enjoy working with my Starseeker Team.  I like helping them set goals and helping them reach them.  I've set my goal to make Senior Executive Leader and I know that they'll help me reach that goal as will any new Representatives I add along the way.  We are a team.

When I'm working with members of my team, I often tell them things like this:

• Consider doing something different than what you're already doing...think outside the box and outside your comfort zone.
• When you try something new and it doesn't exactly turn out like you thought it would, that doesn't mean it wasn't a success.  It WAS a success BECAUSE you did something new.  Try it again...a NEW way.

To me, AVON isn't just some hobby at which I "play".  It's how I help support my family.  It's a business and the income helps me pay for groceries, dance lessons, school activities, church offerings and anything else I need just as your 9 to 5 or whatever job helps you pay for what you need.  The only difference is that I'm not working for someone else.  I'm working for me. 

For my team members who want that to be their goal, I want that for them too.  If one of my team members makes the decision to start Leadership tomorrow, by Christmas, she/he will have earned $500 in the Believe in Your Success bonuses.  Then, she/he will continue to earn bonus checks based on unit sales.

As far as I know, I am not aware of any Direct Selling company out there that has only a $10 start-up fee PLUS gives you your own free website PLUS gives your top-of-the-line training tools and the backing of a company that is 126 years old.  When I look back on my 8 years as an Independent AVON Sales Representative and now AVON Recruiter I have to say it was the best $10 I ever spent.

What do you want out of your mascara?

For me, it all depends on my mood.  Sometimes, I want long, fluttery lashes and at other times, it's all about the fullness.  Luckily, AVON has a mascara to fit anyone's style.  Here are a couple of my favorites!

SuperShock Max Mascara gives your lashes up to 15x the volume.  It's available both in Black and in Brown/Black.

SPECIAL OFFER!  Color your EYES - Get both mascara nad our True Color Eyeshadow Quad for only $9.99

SuperExtend Extreme Mascara has a magnetic fiber formula that instantly attracts lashes and extends them to extreme lengths.

For a limited time, SuperExtend Extreme Mascara is only $5.99!  Wow!  What a deal!

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."
