Rome wasn’t built in a day! And neither will your Avon business. Think of it this way – you can generate as much income as a doctor we know that, what we forget is that doctor wasn’t doing surgery his first week of med school!
First you work – then you play, have faith and build, but remain realistic – remember our goals both shot term and long term. This thought process is known as delayed gratification.
Can you build a more successful money making business than you upline? Absolutely. Your upline sets the pace as will you, we encourage our ladies to aspire to greatness – but keep in mind you will need to get up early in the morning to outdo your upline! This of coarse requires you have a motivated upline. If you are faced with (dead wood) headed up, then I would work your way upline until you find a leader that will work with you. In other words if the person that signed you if of no help find the lady that signed her, perhaps all you need if a word of encouragement.
Not everyone may have your aspirations, many ladies simply love the product and aren’t interested in working harder than necessary to achieve their goals (perhaps their goals are simply to make a few hundred bucks each month – That’s fine, help them with that but keep a look-out for the ones that are looking for financial freedom and assist them. In other words help other people get what they want and you will get what you want.
Ask Your Leadership For Help
Your leadership knows what they want and they are here to help you for the reasons described above (or they should be). Seek out the answers for yourself but don’t be afraid to ask.
Most people fail to make the kind of money they envisioned!
Why?
The reason is actually quite simple, there is rarely a get rich scheme that works, and to get rich you must be realistic, patient and work hard, but that makes sense doesn’t it?– Can I get rich selling Avon? The answer is NO.
You can’t do it by yourself there is only so much product you can sell. The trick is leadership. You are paid a percentage of others efforts. Call it a pyramid if you like the bottom line is this – If you want to build a successful Avon business – you NEED to help others achieve their goals. So the harder you work and the more people you sign up and teach to do the same thing the sooner you will get you where you want to be.
Getting rich is actually simple!
1. Learn The business
2. Sell the product
3. Teach others
So you want to make big money with Avon. Internalize and follow these simple common sense rules and you’ll soon be leading the pack!
1. Find your hot button
What motivates you? It makes sense that if you want nothing in life that is probably what you’ll end up with.
2. Establish both short term and long term goals
Write it down – This week I plan to accomplish this…. I plan to be in presidents club this year by… I will recruit 3 ladies this week ect.
3. Know the business
Learning the business isn’t that difficult but it does require some effort – it’s important to keep with your up line, they are more familiar with the information you need to know and they are there to help!
4. Move the product
In its simplest form money is made by selling the product and teaching others to do the same – its that simple (well almost)
5. Offer the plan to others
You make money on the products you sell – but you can only sell so much on your own – what if you had 300 of you doing the same thing you are doing and were paid for their efforts. It equals BIG money!
6. Get your family involved
Imagine a motivated spouse? How about the kids talking up the business at school - (lots of ladies there). What about your sister the nurse… I think you get the idea, by the way if your spouse is not motivated – take him dream shopping for a new bass boat!
7. Keep your Avon business money separate!
Nothing torpedoes a business like sloppy practices – open a separate account and pay your bill on time every time!
Anything Worth Having Is Worth Working For
8. Look professional
Look your best – No you don’t need designer clothing but by the same token spandex with a coffee stained oversized tee-shirt is not likely to entice a lot of sales.
9. What does your tool box look like?
Building a successful Avon business with a handful of books is like baking a cake with only an egg! Probably not going to be successful. Remember this she who has the most samples and books and distributes them wins!
10. Have faith in yourself
If you follow the nine points listed you will be successful, this is not rocket science it’s a matter of persistence. You must take ownership for your business, no one is going to do it for you. Remember you are in business for yourself not by yourself, your up line will assist but you must do the work. Your dreams will be realized with the effort you exert.
There is only one sure way to fail at anything -
Give up
The idea is to make money right? This is getting harder and harder all the time. Everyone is broke, gas prices are too high there are layoffs and the future looks gloomy. My wife and I had a real heart to heart, try as she may things with her Avon business were not only stagnant her reps were dropping like flies - what to do!
Well here's what we did....
Avon is for the most part cosmetics - right? Rather than give up on her Avon business altogether we decided to run another business alongside her Avon business. And so it was born our new baby - we now manufacture SOAP. She has plugged it into her Avon base and although things are slow they are certainly picking up. Each month she attends local flea markets and sells the soaps and lotions we have both created. (those wishing more information on getting started with a soap business you can check out www.millersoap.com (I think that's it).
Here's the point, you can't let the economy beat you, neither can you allow yourself to shrivel up and wait for the phone to ring. Instead think of a craft you can do (include your family and share the profits with them). There are lots of things you are good at, the items you create can be introduced to your Avon customers under your our "little" business - who knows you may be the next "Famous Amos".
Anyway I've got to go now I've got a batch of "Grandms' Lye soap with poppy seeds and cornmeal ready to blend. By the way if your interested the name of our little venture is "You Need Soap" catchy isn't it? The website has been registered and I'm currently working on it. (youneedsoap.com) Best of luck ladies.
You need as much exposure as is possible both for your recruiting efforts and to pick up new customers. A few months ago we've set up a Myspace account for just this purpose. the idea is actually very simple. Play with the design you like, tell folks about yourself and your business.
You'll have to invite Ladies in your area, decide how large of an area you want to include - say 25 miles and start inviting them to be on your Myspace friends list. As time goes by you can offer sales or institute a recruiting drive. we've added a video blurb promoting Avon found on Youtube.com. Your welcome to copy and past the same video on your page.
Does it work - like anything you have to work it. You can't simply set up the page and forget it, you have to keep it fresh. Its a good idea to add pictures of yourself or better yet pictures of products! What ever you do have fun with it and keep inviting - you will notice returns on your efforts.Ingrids Myspace Page
