New Avon Representative? Start Building your Customer Base!
Canvass the Neighborhood: If you're brave enough, knock
on doors and ask if they need an Avon
Representative. This is a great way to find out who really is
interested and who is not. Then, you will save your catalogs for people who are
interested and be able to collect contact information right away, making follow
up easier (always, always follow up!) Who knows, maybe you can find a recruit or a helper this way?
Not quite that brave? Bag
it! Bag together a current brochure (label it with due date, and how long you
can backorder,) your business card, a letter introducing yourself, and even a
sample if you want. As a new representative, I did not give out a large amount
of samples. I would offer to order or order when someone requested. Once you
have been selling a while, somehow you end up with plenty of samples to give
out! So, don’t feel like you have to give everyone a sample. Your introduction
letter should describe your services and tell why you started Avon, and give
people a little insight on who you are. You could even add a coupon at the
bottom of the letter for a % off or a free gift on a first order. Do not place
bags in anyone’s mail box! Check your local laws about hanging them on door
knobs, laying them at the front door, or hanging them on hand rails.
Many people like to do a
catalog "Toss" with books onto people's property. I often hear people
stating they have received complaints when doing this, but some find it to be
effective and find new customers by doing so.
Email Signature: Always use an email signature! Email signatures are easy to set
up, and will let everyone you email know you are an Avon rep. Plus, it looks
professional when responding to your customers. I like to include my eRep
website address and Opportunity link as well. Here is a look at what I have:
