My Motivation For You Today

The bigger the dream, the harder the grind. So rise & grind, wake up to the sunshine. And the sun is shining today. Its a beautiful day outside, even though its cold outside. But I didn't let that stop me from getting out there today and delivering Avon Brochures & trying to recruit people to join my team. Because you see, my WHY is bigger than my I CAN'T. You may say, I can't get out of bed, I can't do this, I can't do that, I can't I can't I can't. When are you going to stop making excuses and start working towards your dreams and goals?

My Avon Team is the A Team. Our motto is #alwaysforward #neverbackwards because you see, on my team we always move forward, never backwards. We are moving towards the future, towards our dreams and goals, towards success. We are not moving backwards to the past, not moving backwards to our failures, not moving backwards towards the negative but moving forward to the positive.

If you have never failed at life, you ARE failing at life. You're not trying hard enough. Every successful person has failed more times than they can count.

Look at your life and where you want to go. You need to start saying yes to your dreams, yes to your potential. The future s unlimited for you right now. No one knows where you can go. No one know what you're capable of. This is your decade, this is a new year, a new you. If you're not willing to risk it all, you're not going to grow and if you're not willing to grow you cannot become your best and if you cannot be your best you cannot be happy.

Remember, this is your DREAM, and you MUST be willing to sacrifice every second to overcome the obstacles or you will NOT succeed. Success doesn't belong to the dreamers. Success belongs to those who know the only thing they can't do is quit!!! Are you willing to let someone else walk away with your dreams because you let your "I CAN'T" get in the way. Hours, days, months of sacrifice that you have worked so hard for to get where you are today. Your WHY has to be GREATER than your "I CAN'T"

98% of people give up on their dreams without even trying to achieve them. Be in the 2%. Don't give up on your dreams, don't stop trying to reach your goals. Wake up every morning with a purpose. Really LIVE, don't just exist in this world. Have a purpose in life, know your WHY. Don't hit the snooze button in the morning, get up & rise & grind.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you don't love what you do than you're in the wrong business and you if you're not passionate about what you're doing then you will never get anywhere. The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams. When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe that's when you will be successful. So let's do something a little different today. Let's take risks, and do something absolutely crazy. Let's face our fears, let's get out there and really work our business. Don't let the cold weather stop you, don't let anything stop you. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. Its a new year, time to put the past behind you & your past failures & past mistake. Its a new day, a new start, time to rise & grind, and put the negative people out of your life and surround yourself with positive people. People who are uplifting, people who motivate you to do your best and nothing less, people who are inspirational and know the greatness you have inside, people who can see your potential and never stop giving up on you.

Tenaciously Training Others To Be Their Best!

Make the brochure and What's New work for you!

Don't be just an order taker, be a sales maker! Heres how with these vital tools:

1. Market the Brochure. Each brochure you give out can pay back in at least one, maybe even two customers. SO the more brochures you order, the greater your Customer base. In fat, it's been sown that ordering 10 more brochures than you need can generate 1-2 new Customers each campaign!
1. And don't forget the basics: Write or stamp your name, phone number & email address prominently on the front or back cover of the brochure. 
2. Work with the What's New. Here' your chance to get an early look at the hot new product available four campaigns later. As soon as it arrives, take a good look and then start talking to customers about it.
2. Keep your Avon money and personal money separate. Open up a checking account for Avon only.
3. Watch your personal purchases. If you purchase something for yourself, bill yourself and write a check to cover the cost and deposit it in your Avon account.
4. Don't do heavy discounts. Avon does wonderful sales and even without sales, the products are very reasonably priced.
5. Pay your Avon bill on time. As long as you maintain good credit with Avon, your orders will arrive on time, and your customers will be happy.
6. Write a breakdown of how your Avon profit will be handled. Example: 15% for business supplies (you may want to do more in the beginning to get your customer base built up), 10% in Rep savings plan, 25% for long term goals, 50% for short term goals
7. Be careful with inventory. It's a good idea to have some items on hand (Bug Guard, Skin So Soft, deodorants etc) that your customers may need in a hurry, but keeping too much stock will eat into your immediate profit. If you can afford to hold inventory over a period of time until you sell it, fine, but if not, keep a limited amount of stock.
8. Consider Leadership. Avon's Leadership opportunity is the best money making program available. Recruit other people to sell Avon, and eventually you will make a profit on their sales. It takes a lot of hard work, but the financial return is tremendous. Avon's Leadership program has already made more than one millionaire.

How to Increase Your Sales

1. Call all your customers before you put your order in. Don't be afraid of annoying them. Many, many times when I've called customers they've said, "Oh, I'm so glad you called because I wanted to order something and forgot to call you".
2. Suggestive Selling. If Mary orders a lipstick, suggest a nail polish to go with it. If she orders a cleanser, suggest a toner to go with it.
3. Read, read, read. Read your What's News. Go through the brochure when it comes and learn whats on sale. Read beauty and fashion magazines. Find out what the competition is selling, and what they'r'e charging.
4. Print a copy of the Product Reference Guide from youravon.com. There is a wealth of information there on Avon products.
5. Bundle products. Offer your customers the perfu,e, shower gel and body lotion, all in the same scent, with a small discount if they buy all three. Or bundle the cleanser and toner. Of bundle a day and night cream.
6. Offer your customers a deal they can't reuse. Buy three Bug Guard Plus, get one free. Buy three shampoos, get one free. Buy three bubble baths, get one free. It cuts a little into your profit but it increases your cash flow and award sales.
7. Samples, samples, samples. Put samples in your books of a new product. Call your customers back and ask how they liked it. Put a sample or two in their order. When you call them ask how they liked it.
8. Demos. Pick one or two items from the What's New and show it everywhere. Seeing is buying. At the end of the campaign, offer to sell your demo for your cost, and use that money to buy the next demo.
9. Take the Beauty Advisor and Certified Beauty Advisor training. Reps who have done this have doubled their sales.

How to Increase your Customer Base

1. Leave books everywhere you go. Doctor's office, dentists's office, pediatrician, bank, ATM Machine, car servicing, fast food restaurants, convenience stores. Don't ask permission 0 just do it, if someone complains, apologize and don't do it again.
2. Wear something Avon. Jewelry, clothing, perfume, cologne, etc from the catalog will advertise your business. Go to www.thebooster.com or www.thebuttonguy.com to purchase Avon buttons.
3. The Power Of Three: Give a book to three people you don't know each day and get their phone numers to check back with them before your order goes in.
4. When you deliver your orders, give your customer two books and ask her or him to pass one along to a friend. Tell her/him they will get a free gift if their friend orders.
5. Go canvassing. Pick a neighborhood and go door to door. Knock, (yes gulp!) on the door and introduce yourself. Offer a sample and a book. Ask for their phone number.
6. Canvass businesses. Fixx up a pretty basket with samples and small items (lip balm, small hand creams, trial size products, samples etc) and go to offices/businesses. Offer a book and something from your basket. Ask if you can call back to see if there are any orders. Staple a couple of pages from the order book on the front of the brochure for the employees to fill out.
7. Ask all your customers if they will take a book to work with them. Offer to pay them in free Avon if they get orders for you. They will then become "helpers" which could be the backbone of your business.
8. Get a small rack or a shower caddy-type basket from the dollar store. When you go into a store or a shopping center, leave the basket/rack on the back of your car with books in it.

Selling Avon: Mistakes & Tips

Aiden's Avon Tips

Here are some tips for you that I have used in the past. They have been helpful to me & hopefully they will help you as well.

1. When giving out an Avon Brochure, staple a sample to the front of the book. Customers love samples and by having a sample they may even purchase that product.

2. On the back of your Avon Brochure put your recruiting link with reference code on it. You will have a customer but you might even have a customer that turns into a new recruit.

3. Leave books everywhere you go. If you have a dentist or doctor appointment leave books in the waiting room.

4. If you go to the bathroom leave Avon books on the sink. Someone is bound to take one.

5. When you go through a drive thru before you pull away, hand the cashier an Avon Book

6. When you are at a restaurant, give your waiter or waitress an Avon Book.

7. When you go to have your car or truck worked on hand out an Avon book to your mechanic.

8. When you go to parties, hand out Avon books.

9. When you go to school, leave Avon Books in the lobby and hand them out to teachers and classmates.

10. When you go to the DMV, give the person waiting on you an Avon Book.

Tips For Avon Door Knocking

I am so very excited to everyone on my team getting out there and promoting their Avon Business. It really encourages me to see you all grow and meet all your goals and dreams.

Here are some tips for all you Avon reps who are out and about promoting your business.

1. You won't get new customers from the comfort of your home
1. Have 10 or more brochures but are not getting them out there in good hands? If your brochures are not in good hands then you probably won't get too many orders. Door knocking is most efficient way to gain new customers. If you are shy try partnering up with you Avon leader or District Manager and go door knocking together...it's always easier in pairs.
2. Make it a goal to get at least 5 new phone numbers
1. 5 new phone numbers means 5 potential customers as well as 5 new recruits. Most people either forget to call their Avon Rep or they may not be interested in ordering Avon at the time. Calling your customers and following up is a good way to find out if someone is interested or not. Some customers like to receive the brochures but may not order every campaign, give them a brochure regularly anyway, the more you talk to these potential customers the more likely they will feel comfortable ordering from you.
2. This is what I usually say when I call a potential customer; "Hello Mary, this is Aiden from Avon. I gave you a brochure, I was wondering if you were interested in anything at tis time..no? Not a problem Mary, I will be sure to drop off a brand new brochure for you." OR if the customer has an order you will 9 times out of 10 hear this "Yes I have an order...one sec...let me just find it..." and they will start flipping through the brochure. People tend to forget to call Avon Reps. And sometimes customers don't have an order but want to chat for awhile, always take the time to chat with them because you will get to know them. I always enjoy calling my customers mainly to see how they are all doing!
3. Know The Product
1. Potential customers may be unsure about trying a certain product. If you have tried the product or know a lot about it from testimony ( a good example is hair dye) than customers may feel more comfortable ordering it to try it out.
4. Carry Samples
1. The last thing we as Avon Reps want is an unsatisfied customer. Carry some skin care, lipstick, hair care etc samples for them to try before they decide to order. I've sold lots of Genics treatment creams which are high priced items JUST from offering a sample. If someone falls in love with a particular lipstick color or likes the skin care sample you provided for them than you will get some sales. No customer wants to order the wrong foundation color or wrong shade of lipstick.
5. Respect other Avon Reps Customers
1. If someone says they already order from so and so be courteous and DO NOT try and steal that customer. The ONLY reason you should ever sell Avon to these people is if they have not heard from their Avon rep in a while (and by awhile I mean longer than a month) and if you see someone else's brochures in a store don't be rude and place your's there as well...some Avon Reps have been placing their brochures in certain locations regularly. I could not tell you how many times I've heard of Avon lady cat fights occurring just because other Reps came in and tried to claim a territory that has been already claimed.
6. Follow Up
1. So you got the brochure in someone's hand! GREAT! Follow up. ALWAYS ask them for their phone number or jot down all the addresses you dropped books at and follow up. Call them and ask if they like anything in the brochure, call and ask if they'd like to receive continuous brochures. Remember not everyone will order right away, it may be 6 campaigns before they finally order. Do not give up on these people ALWAYS bring them new brochures. I've had customers who did not order for quite some time than 6 campaigns later they have a $100 order...you just never know.
7. Make Your New Customers Feel Special
1. Offer them things like Tax free orders for the first order, or 10% off first orders or even a free gift when they place their first order with you. They LOVE this! Ask them what they like and try and provide samples for them too. It is all up to you what promotions you will run and it's completely up to you if you even want to offer promotions. If you don't offer promotions at least to to your customers regularly and get to know them.
8. Be Prepared To Stay A While
1. Some doors you will simply introduce yourself, give out a brochure and take down their phone number. But other houses you might see someone you have not seen in awhile or you'll meet someone who just wants to chat. 
9. Always Say Thank You
1. If someone has a Rep or is not interested be polite and say thank you for your time. It's always good to be friendly and polite.
10. Have A Script But Don't Be Too Scripted
1. Have in your head a greeting and the things you will say but remember that sometimes you won't always use them. It all depends on who answers the door.
2. Don't know what to say?
1. Here's an example of what you could say, "Hello, my name is Aiden and I am with Avon. I was wondering if you have an Avon Representative." - they will either say that they do, that they are not interested or that they do not have a rep. If they do not have a Rep say: "Would you like a brochure?" If they take the brochure ask: "Have you ever ordered Avon before?" this may result in a great conversation or an opportunity to tell them about Avon.
3. Once you are done ask them if you can have their phone number. I would say, "May I have your phone number? I like to call people before I place the order in case they forget to call me or have questions". When they give you their phone number also ask when a good time would be to call them. These notes are very helpful in organizing your phone call list.

Door Knocking is fun and easy, sometimes the first few houses can be discouraging because you will be told by many people that they either have a Rep or they just don't order Avon. Door knocking is the best way to get customers, leaving books in mailboxes is fine but chances are if the customer has not met you they probably won't call you. If door knocking is not your thing try setting up Avon Tables where people can meet you and have a look at your product. But don't forget to jot down people's contact information!

Direct Delivery Orders are important. They can earn you a lot in sales and points. When a customer does a Direct Delivery Order the order is sent directly to the customer. Try to get as many direct delivery orders as you can. This will boost your sales and give you more award sales points.

Skin Care is important to focus on, you'll get a lot of skin care sales if you promote the skin care products. People will buy the skin care items. A good idea would be to have samples so your customers can try them. If they try it they will buy it.

Remember to follow up, follow up, follow up with your customers about ordering.

How To Host An Online Party

So, you've heard a lot of talk about online parties, but the questions you have are how do they work and how well will you do? Online parties are a great way to bring together a group of friends, family or customers to learn more about products that you sell. The host will still receive all of the hostess benefits received at a typical party, the only difference is that the party will be taking place at a chat room online. It's also a great green alternative and budget friendly for both the representative and the hostess. Read on to see how you can start hosting one today!

Ten Benefits of having an Online Party vs. a Home Party

Why you should consider having an online party!

1. No prep work for the hostess! Cleaning the house for all of the guests is not top priority as everyone will be logging in online.
2. No need to worry about serving food and beverages as everyone will be bringing their own with them to their computer!
3. It's easier to get a large group of people together. As we all know it can sometimes be challenging to get together a large group of your friends. But with a simple click of the mouse you can get a large number of your friends together in a chat for your party!
4. You can be in your PJ's with your glass of wine at the online party and no one will ever know what you were wearing to the party. Kick back, relax and shop away (or sell away!)
5. Online parties are a green alternative to the traditional party as no one will be driving to the party.
6. There's less paperwork involved as customers/party guests can order directly from the representative's website.
7. No organizing the product and sorting through the orders that the guests purchased (and tracking down your friends, as typically the guests will get the order shipped directly to them)
8. All of your friends from across the country can attend your party!
9. More games to play! Being online there will be plenty of opportunities to create new games. This includes asking questions which guests have to search on the represenative's webpage for, everyone loves winning FREE things
10. There's absolutely no clean up! The only thing you will have to do as a host is shut down your computer

Tips On Being A Good Leader

1. Make Time To Lead
• To be effective, team leaders need to invest time in the role. Too often, this responsibility is simply added onto someone's already lengthy task list, thus setting the new leader up for failure. As a team leader you need to be visible to the team & available to support them. 
• If you're predominantly tied up with your own critical hands-on-tasks, you won't be. So, be sure to review & re-negotiate your workload before taking on a leadership role in the first place.
2. Get To Know Your Team
1. Leadership is all about how you influence your team to achieve its objectives. Something you'' struggle to do if you don't get to know your team members & what makes them tick. While it might be tempting to jump in & start making moves from day one, remember that you're not there to flex your ego.
2. Tale time to listen to your team members, find out what their issues and aspirations are, gather ideas and identify potential strength's and weaknesses. Only then can your formulate a leadership approach that stands a chance of success. Getting to know who you're working with is the first all-important step to bonding with the team and establishing their respect and trust. The old adage of listening twice as much as you speak still holds true.
3. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
1. Once your team is up and running, its imperative to keep the communication going to build relationships, assess progress, and identify risks and issues.
2. Plus, you'll get more engagement from team members if they see you investing time in them and showing interest in their activities. Make expectations and responsibilities clear so that everyone knows who's doing what, why and by when. This seems obvious but don't assume everyone has your detailed understanding of the project at hand. 
3. Encourage and embrace new ideas. The more your team can contribute to the project, the happier they'll be.
4. Lead By Example
1. Think about the behaviors you want and expect from your team members and be sure to exhibit those traits yourself. You're the role model, so what you say and do will impact the team's daily work habits and attitudes.
2. That said, it's important to be yourself and to believe in yourself. If you fake it, you'll soon be unmasked and you'll lose credibility and trust.
5. Reward The Good & Learn From The Bad (And The Ugly)
1. Be quick to recognize a good performance and reward it where appropriate. You might not be in a position to hand out pay raises and promotions but in the bit of verbal praise goes a long way in showing your team you are both aware of and appreciative of their achievements.
2. Be equally as timely in tackling poor performance issues. The longer you leave them, the tougher they'll be to fix.
3. Look for the best in people and understand that mistakes will happen. When they do, learn from them and see how they can be prevented in the future. And, whatever you do, don't play the blame game
4. If you need to have a challenging conversation, do it in private, no public flogging. And don't try to win a popularity contest. Not all your feedback and iniatives will be well-recieved, but if you concentrate more on being everyone's friend instead of a strong leader, the work will suffer, as well as your integrity.
6. Delegate
1. Trust your team to do its job. Being team leader doesn't mean you're there to do other people's work for them. Be clear on what's expected of everyone and let them get on with it
7. Be Decisive
1. Don't procrastinate. Of things go wrong, take a breath, gather the information you need to make an educated decision and make it. Don't be afraid of seeking help (it's a sign of strength, not weakness).
8. Enjoy It!
1. Team leadership is often challenging but frequently rewarding. Heading up a team that's working well & delivering results is a great feeling, so go do it.

Tips On Being Successful

1. Get Organized
1. Organization will help you complete tasks & stay on top of things to be done
2. Analyze Your Competition
1. Competition breeds the best results. To be successful you can't be afraid to study & learn from your competition
3. Understand The Risks & Rewards
1. The key to being successful is taking calculated risks to help your business grow
4. Be Creative
1. Always be looking for ways to improve your business and to make it stand out from the competition
5. Stay Focused
1. The old saying that "Rome was not built in a day" applies here. Just because you open a business doesn't mean that you're going to immediately start making money.
2. You see, it takes time to let people know who you are, so stay focused on achieving your short-term goals & give the rest time to come together on its own.
6. Prepare To Make Sacrifices
1. The lead-up to starting a business is hard work but after you open your doors, your work has just begun. YOu have to put in more time than you would if you were working for someone else.

Ten Commandments Of Prospecting

Ten Commandments of Prospecting

1. Set aside a specific time each day for prospecting
calls. Set appointments for yourself. Be disciplined
and right down what activity you want to accomplish and 
then follow through.

2. Make as many calls as possible.
Don't waste time on calls that you know are not going
in a positive direction. Do not allow people to steal
your time. If you just make that one extra call each
time, your overall call volume for the year will be
much larger!

3. Make calls brief.
Know the objective of your call and get to that
objective without unnecessary talking. Use your time
to answer any questions that the prospect might have.
Again, don't let people steal your valuable time.

4. Have a prepared and organized list before starting
your calls. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 2
weeks of prospecting calls on a list at any given time.
Always have a constant flow of prospects to call
through.

5. Work without interruption.
Get to a quiet place where you will not be interrupted
or distracted. Do not have a radio or TV on in the
background. Make everyone in the house aware that you
should not be disturbed during the time you are making
your calls.

6. Consider doing your calls at different times of the
day. Many people call the same prospect at the same
time of the day over and over again. Then they will
get frustrated because they get an answering machine
each time. Common sense is to try calling prospects
at different times of the day. You can drastically
increase your chances of talking to a live person.

7. Be organized.
Consider using a computerized contact management
system. I would be lost without mine. It will help
you with follow-up calls as well as allowing you to
keep detailed notes on previous conversations.

8. Establish a Goal.
How many calls do you want to get through? How many
conversions are you getting? What is your ratio
between the two and is it improving? You will only
know this if you set goals and keep track of them. You
skills and confidence will grow and grow if you are
aware of your improvements.

9. Don't Stop.
Persistence is the key quality that every successful
nationwide sponsor has. They understand that each
'no' will lead them to the big 'yes'. They are aware
of there numbers and are always striving for
improvement. They don't ever just stop and give up.
Remember, nobody fails at network marketing, they quit.

10. Have some fun.
Remember to keep it fun. If you don't enjoy what you
are doing, it becomes drudgery. If you don't want to
reach out and talk to and share your opportunity with
as many people as you can, then you are probably in the
wrong industry. If you are having fun and are
enthusiastic about these calls, it will rub off on the
people you are calling and you will have more success.
