Day 3

Today I listed my upcoming AVON party on Craig's List and used various other classifieds online to advertise the Avon Business Opportunity.

I than gave out 7 of my 10 invitations included with the newest catalog, during my errands today.
1-bank
1-Mobil, when I got gas
1-a shop I stopped at
1-grocery store
3- the girls at work

Tonight I prepared my self for tomorrow.
While I watched TV with my family, I filled a large basket with catalogs (about 30) all marked out with post-it's on the pages I wanted them to notice. I included samples on the pages they corresponded with and inserted invitations to my party. I also have about 20 (Hello Tomorrow Avon fliers, (Dawn is my Favorite) they are really nice and Avon has them for you to order online and they are very inexpensive).

My goal :) I won't come home until I have given them all out.
After many successful years in sales I know- It's a numbers game,
the more you contact the better your chances for sales now and later.
I know someone will probably keep my catalog for months lying around. Either in the car, at the office, or at home, and that's ok, as long as they know they can contact me anytime to order their favorite Avon items. Name recognition of me and AVON...
You should visit the same location 5 times to show you are reliable and within that time they should order, but don't forget to follow up.

Try to REMEMBER (if you can) Grab a business card on the 1st or second visit if you can, so you can call or email them a reminder that your order is going in the next day and you don't want them to miss the deadline. Make friends - bring them sample gifts!

I plan on visiting apartments, doctors offices (w/waiting rooms), office complexes and various trade schools/local collages.
I feel this is the best time because everyone is looking for extra work right now and AVON is such a GREAT opportunity. With Avon You never have to worry about getting fired again!
I love that With Avon you can Be your own boss!

Tomorrow I will also visit my local AVON training center to pick-up a roll-on for my favorite guy at Kinko's. The store keeps alot on hand just in case you need something fast. I won't get credit for it in my catalog sales but that's ok. It will be my gift to him, he has always been so nice to me and I am sure he will order from me in the future.

I also noticed that my business card and this blog did not say Independent Sales Rep. so I decided to order new business cards and fix my blog.
Good thing they were free and easily fixable...

Note to everyone: I goofed, make sure your marketing material says this because this is in Avon's rules. I am still learning the ropes but hopefully we are ok now.
