I've put together some tips and advice for Avon Representatives wishing to take thier business to the next level. Topics include, leadership, brochures, dream building and many more. You are here because you want to sell more avon, and so do others. I invite you to become active and publish your own insights and opinions, comments are always welcome. If you're a brand new Representative or a seasoned pro I think you'll find the information useful.DArcy Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10518990958143222427noreply@blogger.comBlogger32125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001454535272613564.post-90319651072540055932013-01-09T16:04:00.001-06:002013-01-09T16:04:22.806-06:00

What a great world it would be if we all could be successful. Wait a minute we can all be successful! What? How is that possible? Let me explain..... Success in anything is in my opinion determined by only one thing - being determined! How does this work you ask? It's very simple - MOTIVATION . There that stands out, that's all you need to know, the rest will fall into

There are lots of Avon Reps out there and the public deserves the best - right? Let me ask you this. How do you feel when you get crummy service? Are you likely to go back to that business? You would probably not recommend the business to your friends would you? Here's the point - be the best! Provide the best service (you might even put some neatly wrapped candies in the bag along with your

This is a neat concept and one you should be familiar with. Also known as the Pareto Principal. Named after Vilfredo Pareto an Italian economist in 1906. Mr Pareto realized that 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the people, also 20% of his pea pods contained 80% of the peas!Cool huh? But why is this important? Well if the same holds true for you it means that 20% of the Representatives are

Over the years we've had several thousand representatives from all over the world visit the blog and my website http://darcyevans.com/avon.htm .I'm glad and I hope you've found the information helpful. Since most of you are new to the business I'd like to ask those that are more experienced to become involved. You have ideas that may be beneficial to your fellow representatives. I'll be the first

Many Avon Reps at times find themselves with a box or two of unopened products. Try a free add with Craigslist, you may be able to liquidate some of your product as well as pick up some new customers. For those looking to recruit there is also the opportunity to build contacts!- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I've talked about this before, but just recently I've come to understand how important it is to keep our "reasons" in front of us. I've titled this entry "Why People Fail" for a good reason. I believe there is really only one - that's right one reason that people fail. It has nothing to do with Avon, actually it applies to everything we aspire to in life. Here's why I've come to realize the

You don't see this much anymore, but it works! Buy a bunch of thank you cards, write a short note and thank everyone that deserves being thanked - everyone. The butcher who cuts your meat the way you like, the lady who cuts your hair and does a good job - everyone! It's simple write a quick thanks (handwritten)and drop it in the mail - add a business card if you like, just make a point of doing

Ok we all know the Avon brand (logo,name,products and such). The company has worked hard to protect that brand. It is after all their reputation. For those that are unclear about what branding is - think Pepsi, Coke, Burger King. Get the idea? Did you know that you can actually brand yourself? Yup, sure can. If you now have se customers you already have branded yourself. These folks know you as

My son just bought stock in Apple. It's no wonder, he has virtually everything Apple makes. He was "going on about the iPhone for ages and last year I finally broke down and bought one! The power of this little baby is amazing, as usual he was right. I currently run multiple business right off my phone.

How much time do you spend learning about you business? Do you frequent Avon learning tools "beauty of knowledge" (found on the Avon site map)? Chances are you do, after all you're here right? Avon will teach you what you need to know about their products and how how to run your business but that is not the only place to learn. Remember, knowledge is power - the more power you have the

I just read a post on another Blog regarding tossing. There are many views so I think I'll address it again for those that care to read. If you were the only Avon Representative on the planet I'd say Toss away - then it becomes a numbers thing. However look at it this way, you are in competition with other representatives after the same thing you are - that customer! If I'm out in the front yard

Sending Items Back Now that you are an Avon Representative, you have customers, most will be easy to deal with, but not all. You will run into customers that will want to return everything (it's the wrong size, color you name it there is something wrong with an item). It seems as though these people get a charge out of this kind of behaviour: granted sometimes items need to go back, that's life,

If I were to talk to 100 representatives and were to ask them which ones were involved in a social network I wonder how many would say they do? I wonder of that group would say they belong to one,two, three or more? I would bet those that belong (and are activly promoting their business would be the ones that are doing the best with their business. For example personally I have multiple blogs,

Have you ever heard the saying "Abusiness with no sign is a sign of no business." I think this is really a no brainer. It's obvious what your sign is - your brochure, but what other signs could you use? These inventive representatives have the right idea. Ask yourself this: What if that little button that says I sell Avon was to generate me $X.XX in sales, what would the X be to you? Design your

Whether you are successful or not in this business is dependant I believe primarily on your attitude. I don't know too many people in business that became successful because they believed they were going to fail. Have you heard the saying "garbage in garbage out"? What do you fill your mind with? How positive are you? Are you a doom and gloom kind of person or do wake up each day realizing the

I spoke witn our District sales Manager yesterday (at the supermarket actually). Thinking about it now it must have seemed strange for those shopping and overhearing our conversation...I'm sure it must have seemed rather odd, a man becoming so involved in a conversation regarding AVON. Thing is I'm not about "selling Avon" I'm about winning! In other words, if there are 100 Avon Representatives

Change is good right? For those that have been here before I hope you like the new format. I've noticed the polls are not coming up, I'll give it a few days and either remove them or reinstall them. You will notice I've added links over there to the right. The idea behind this blog and anything I do is to provide opinion, advice and I hope inspiration to those representatives that care to drop by

Everyone is motivated by something - at least the ones that succeed! Know in what gets you moving is perhaps the most important aspect in any venture.You can't simply say "I want to be rich", that's too general. What does rich look like to you? Are you driving the car of your dreams or the one you can afford? how about vacations, the home you live in, your child's college fund.In order for you

We've concentrated and will be working harder at providing more fundraisers. With the economy as it is it seems that non profit organizations are more likely to participate. It seems reasonable that an individual will be more likely to support an organization if they something for their donation - and hey most folks can afford $10.00We have noticed however, you must have some rules in dealing

I don't know about the rest of the country (I understand it's a trial here in the Mid south USA) but recruiters that have been plagued with deadbeat scammers looking to rip Avon off are now having a harder time. At one time if you had $10.00 and a heartbeat you could sell Avon - not so anymore. In our district, I understand as a test(I suppose known for its share of representative crooks) Avon is

With so many Ladies working at growing their business, recruiting new Ladies and seeking tips we've decided to create a more central location for you get the answers you need. Topics included are motivation, leadership, advertising your business, first things first and so on. This is a work in progress, nevertheless I invite you to stop by the learning center.

A great way to reach new customers or recruits is to create a Myspace Page. its fun and easy, the setup instructions can be found on the Myspace home page. As you set it up keep in mind your objective - introduce other Ladies in the area to your business, perhaps they are either looking to make extra income or are in need of your services as and Avon Representative.
