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.

It's fall...a new season...is it time for a new you?  What are your goals?  How about thinking outside the box and trying something new?  What have you got to lose?  Contact Me

A Smart Business Choice - AVON

As a business, why choose AVON?

AVON is the most innovative beauty company out there as far as research, development and bringing products to the market first. You might not know this, but in 1987, they were the first company to use stabilized Retinol. It wasn't long before competition introduced their versions, but one can't deny that AVON was first.

AVON is full of firsts and it's just one of the reasons that I love this company. The other? Our prices. When you do a price comparison to all those companies who copy off of AVON, they're introducing similar products, products that (in my opinion and in the opinion of many of my customers who've finally switched) do not work as well, yet they're charging you sometimes more than double the price!

A new customer contacted me the other day. I won't mention any products by name or companies, but she was paying $170 for ONE skin care product of her line. Just ONE! I hate to see what the rest of her skin care regimen cost! I know I couldn't afford it and even if I could, I certainly would not spend that kind of money.

Yet, age gracefully, is what I will do because I found AVON. Not only do I get great skin care products, I also get them at a discount because I'm a Representative. AVON can offer our products to the consumer at these great prices simply because they have us. They don't have the overhead of department stores or the counter girl to pay.

You might be thinking that I have to say these things because I sell AVON. Well, it is true that I sell AVON to help support my family. It's true that I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me the time to do volunteer work, be a significant part of my children's lives, and be a very active participant in theater.

It's more than a way to make money, though. AVON has been a great confidence builder for me. I've taken charge of my dreams and begun to pursue them. I've made countless friends and connections that I will have with me for life. I used my AVON business to help other organizations and causes that I feel strongly about through its awesome fundraising programs. It's not for everyone, but it works great for me. You have to want it. You have to set your personal goals and go for them. It's work, not a get-rich scheme. And...you have to Believe both in yourself and in the company.

AVON believes in us. They've shown us over and over again by investing in tools to help lead us to success. Their latest? It's the BelieveIn Your Business incentive. So far, with this program, I've earned nearly $300 in bonuses and I'm just getting started!

Want to have Christmas paid for this year? AVON has brought Christmas back! With their new "Come Home for the Holidays", you'll be able to sell, sell, and sell, get off to a great start and your family will be set for Christmas!

If you are looking for a way to make extra money or even a new career, you've got absolutely nothing to lose. AVON has a very reasonable start-up fee plus, I'll be there to mentor you each step of they way, whether you require a little help or a lot.

I could go on and on and on, but the truth of the matter, it's all up to you! What are your dreams and goals? Do you want to save a little money on products that you and your family use? (I save a LOT! It's another perk!) Do you need a new car, to help pay for tuition, extra cash for the "extras" (my daughter wants to take Pointe this year and those shoes are expensive!). Whatever it is, you can get there with AVON.
