Avon Leadership Tips - Send Out a Welcome Email

Have you been signing up new Avon representatives? To reach Avon Leadership, you need to make sure you have a team submitting the correct amount of orders for your success. For example, according to current guidelines, to become a Unit Leader, per campaign you need:
  • $200 in personal sales
  • 3 team member orders
  • Team sales of $1,200+ (this includes your personal sales)

So, you may have 3 members signed up under your name, but if all 3 of them do not place orders, you will not get to title. To help encourage sales participation, I like to send a welcome email, and an email a few days before each new campaign order is due for the first 8 orders. I like to include details for current new rep incentives, and sales tips. If you do not already have a support plan for your new representatives, you may want to think about what you can do to encourage and train your new team for success! 

Below is a template for the welcome email I like to use. Be sure to update where needed, and attach incentive details to your email. (Most areas I need to remember to update, I keep in red font so I remember to review for each new member.)

(Attached: Get Fit Leadership & Hit $100 – Start off your sales with $100 order, and get extra bonuses!)

BASICS, COVERED:
At Avon, we are dedicated to your success and will match your commitment with guidance and support every step of the way!
Here are a few things that will be pretty important for you to know.
Some of the basics that will help you get a feel for your new business environment:
·         Place your order on submit days, pay for your order on time!
Here’s your step-by-step guide to placing your orders:
1.      EMAIL: Please check email daily! I do most all communication Via- Email. You’re now running your own business.  I advise you get a separate email account to run your business.  A lot of great information and tips comes via email. If you are not reading email you’re missing a lot of help and tips. Also have an Email signature to advertise your business. Always state; Name, Ind. Avon Sls. Rep – Title, phone, email and web url & a tag line such as “Start your own Avon business” Ask me how”!
2.      An AVON order is due every other week on your ordering schedule provided.  Always be on time & SAVE orders in the system till order time!! Shipping charge is approx. $4 less when it is on time.   Take the 20 minute training class at youravon.com “Getting Started on youravon.com” & watch the “Need Help Ordering” under MY ORDERS tab. Orders without full payment for a prior order will not be sent to you.
3.      Don’t forget to order brochures every time you place an order. You will be reminded as your closing your order to order your brochures.  Missing an order will put you behind on your books for the upcoming campaigns. So NEVER miss an order!
4.      Always ask your customers for a referral name of another customer. You can offer the customer who gives the referral a 10% discount off their own order for that campaign or a small gift.
5.      Schedule your time so you can make regular sales contacts with everyone.  Your fortune is in the follow up / Reminder calls.  Customers HOLD YOUR PAYCHECK!
6.      Be sure you attend your District Sales Meetings.  MEETINGS ARE VERY INFORMATIVE AND YOU CAN MINGLE WITH SOME OF THE DISTRICT’S TOP REPRESENTATIVES.   They are not mandatory but available to you- Free samples and displays are available. Watch your email and newsletters for dates & times for your local area.
7.      Build your earnings through recruiting other representatives. Earn up to $25 per person plus advancement bonuses & a residual income!! We would appoint these reps initially while you are in training together and put them on your team.  DO NOT REFER THEM TO AVON.  If you do so you will not get credit for them being one of your team partners. They must appoint with you for you to make the bonuses and residuals as your team partner.  So call me or the District Manager to make your initial appointments. If you’re not interested in leadership please refer them to me.
8.      NEVER give a customer their order unless they are giving you FULL payment.
9.      Complete your FREE online “BEAUTY OF KNOWLEDGE” training. Under the training tab at youravon.com. Click on: Beauty of Knowledge, then click on Training courses, then Click NEW REP tab.  These classes are CRUCIAL and the first 5 classes are only 1 hour and 37 min total time. Please take the time to invest in you and your business. The new rep classes need to be completed before your 1st order and preferably within your first week of business.
10.    All items cannot be put in every brochure but that doesn’t mean the item is not available. Use the product search or you can call Avon at 1-513-551-2866 for assistance.
11.    AVON has a 100% money- back guarantee…Please honor that guarantee for any item YOU sell.  AVON will give you credit for what you paid with our EZ- Returns processing system for any item you credit & send back.  Offer your customers exchange or credit.   I always offer the credit first & in 3 years only had to give 1 refund.
·         Let’s talk timing!
To keep all of the Representative deliveries running smoothly, Avon is on a shipping system called the Representative Processing Schedule (RPS). You are on RPS (xx) which means that you can submit an order every other (Xxxday) to qualify for the lowest possible shipping fees. It is best practice to submit all of your orders at one time on your submit day to qualify for best shipping prices; but you can enter and save orders as you receive them. 
Your first order will be Campaign XX, due on 01/01 by 11:59PM, just before midnight. I will email you again before then to remind you, and give you some additional information.
·         Your District
You are a part of District number (xxxx), and your District Manager is (xxxx xxxxx). Be on the lookout on youravon.com to attend National meetings and training on the Avon Web TV. I have copied your District mailbox and your District Manager on this email.
** I will be in touch through emails, texts, or however you prefer (I email a lot) – please feel free to reach out to me at any time you need me, for any questions or concerns you have, but you are encouraged to also engage with your local district for meetings, trainings, networking, and anything you need there as well. You should expect to hear from your District Manager soon to welcome you to the team as well.

Key to Remember: Our new brochures and business tools are ordered right along with your Customer orders, so skipping any Campaign will delay your receipt of the most up-to-date tools, demos and brochures. Submitting separate orders in one Campaign will result in higher shipping prices.

·         What’s the minimum?
There is no minimum order with Avon. However, our earning structure is based on a “The more you sell, the more you earn!” philosophy, and you will begin seeing earnings once you have reached at least $50 in sales per campaign.  I always recommend having the goal of making every order $100 or more. Work it and give yourself a raise every two weeks!

And remember, you’re in business for yourself but not by yourself! I am committed to helping you every step of the way.
