Avon Leadership Tips: Fifth Order Email

When you have new Avon representatives sign up, it is important to keep in touch as he/she learns this new business. Within 24 hours of sing up, be sure to send your new rep a Welcome Email.

Within 2-3 days of the new rep’s first 8 order due dates, I send a reminder email of the order date. Each email I send out contains tips and tricks for becoming a successful Avon Representative. I previously posted the 

First Order Email, Second Order Email, Third Order Email and Forth Order Email.

Here is an example of my Fifth Order email, feel free to use mine or your own or make changes to make it personal to yourself and your new representative:

Congratulations, Renee! Coming up is your 5th AVON order. (Tuesday)

This week is your 5th AVON order and you have been a rep for just over 2 months now CONGRATULATIONS!

A few tips and reminders:

1.      Be sure to reference your handy sales charts so you know where you are for your earnings. (Shown in your 4^th order email.)

2.      Use your eRep website and your Avon Sign-up Link on all of your brochures, and add to your email signature.

3.      Social Media and blogging will help get your eRep website working for you. Be consistent, and use your tools!

4.      If you have not yet joined our helpful team site please do so today at http://reneemoreau4avntoday.blogspot.com

5.      As always we don’t know you need help unless we are hearing from you. So please do not hesitate to contact us if you need additional coaching or support. 

To help you be a success. Here are some other proven ways to increase your sales!

PROVEN WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR SALES:

1.      This is your business. Determine the hours each week that you can work on Avon and stick to these hours.

2.      Set personal goals. This can be dollar amounts, number of people you’ll talk to, etc. Challenge yourself each and every day, each and every Campaign.

3.      The brochure is your store; no one can shop without one. ALWAYS CARRY BROCHURES WITH YOU! Customers are more likely to buy a product if they can first see it or try it; order demonstration products and show them (wear them).

4.      Attach samples to the page on the brochure where the product is featured—customers will try it and make the connection that is it offered at a special price this campaign.

5.      Customer service is key; know your customers’ buying habits; let them know when their favorite cologne or lipstick is on sale.

6.      Consider sending newsletters to your customers with info on what’s new, tips on makeup or skincare, how our products compare to other brands, etc. (I like to use a blog for this.)

7.      Email your customers and invite them to purchase on your website. With the ability to sell throughout the country, your earnings potential is limitless! Use the automated email service Avon offers on the website.  Your customers will enjoy receiving them.

8.      Informative handouts received from the manager can be reproduced; make copies and distribute to your customers. (Also, check out www.facebook.com/groups/AvonFlyersByAlicia for more.)

9.      Call your customers before your order deadline—do this every campaign and the results will amaze you!  People “intend” to call you with and order, but often forget or get too busy…if you’re not calling them, you are missing orders!

10.  Wearing and using Avon products is great advertising. Your personal testimony concerning a product will MAKE THE SALE. Advertise byword-of-mouth and never stop telling people about Avon!

11.  Use a cross-reference directory at your local library or on the internet. You can obtain the names and phone numbers of people in your area so you can follow up on brochures you leave. Try internet site:  www.anywho.com

12.  Host an Avon party at your home.  At that party, offer a gift to someone who will host the next party.

13.  Talk to groups and organizations about selling Avon as a way to earn money for their group; order fundraiser materials available on the youravon.com website.

14.  Encourage customers to order more. If a customer orders lipstick, suggest a matching nail polish. If she orders fragrance, suggest another item in the same fragrance.

15.  Always ask customers if their purchase will be “cash or charge?” People buy more when they can “charge it”. You can get the NEW phone scanners that accept credit cards and checks* wherever your customers are. I have the one through Paypal.

16.  Learn about the Avon product line.  Customers like to purchase from knowledgeable sales people. Take the Beauty Of Knowledge Classes.

          

BOTTOM LINE:  BE ENTHUSIASTIC, SMILE, HAVE FUN-YOU’RE IN BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF…BUT NEVER BY YOURSELF!

Sincerely,

Avon Representative

After your 4th order it will be more important to be following the charts below to make sure you’re not missing out on the next earning level. I am here to help and support you so please do reach out if you need assistance. Below are some handy charts that will help you.

Avon Leadership Tips: Third Order Email

When you have new Avon representatives sign up, it is important to keep in touch as he/she learns this new business. Within 24 hours of sing up, be sure to send your new rep a Welcome Email.

Within 2-3 days of the new rep’s first 8 order due dates, I send a reminder email of the order date. Each email I send out contains tips and tricks for becoming a successful Avon Representative. I previously posted the First Order Email and Second Order Email.

Here is an example of my Third Order email, feel free to use mine or your own or make changes to make it personal to yourself and your new representative:

Congratulations Renee! Coming up is your 3rd AVON order. (Friday)

Are you using the Power of 3? Have you thought about doing more online? Using the Power of 3, and adding social media to your Avon marketing can give you even a bigger growth opportunity for your business!

Network your Avon online:

Do you currently use Social Media for your personal contacts? Most Social Media platforms allow you to have a personal profile and/or a business page. I network my Avon on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, and a few other sites. I have set up business pages that are separate from my own personal profile. My friends and family members can follow my profile for personal posts (posts about my child, my dogs, humor, ect.) and they can choose to follow my business page. That way, I am able to post daily from my business pages without overwhelming my family and friends (or getting deleted for my excitement of Avon) – plus, I can grow new followers that are interested in our products, but may not be interested in seeing my personal posts. Review the Avon Policies and Procedures, and Advertising & Social Media Guidelines under the “My Community” tab in youravon.com before you get started.

After reviewing the Policies and Procedures, try your business page in the Social Media platform you feel most comfortable with. For content, Avon provides Social Media Tools in the “Web Office” tab of youravon.com with premade posts and videos. You select a post, and you will be able to share to Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. You can change some of the content if you like, and choose your business page to post. The post will contain a link that will lead your followers straight to your Avon eRep website for shopping.

You can also shop your own website, and share from there. Again, you will be able to share a post, use the picture that is generated with the share buttons (or change the picture and replace with your own) and the post will link back to your eRep website.

Follow Avon on the same Social Media sites you are using for additional ideas. Remember – if you post without using the share button from youravon.com or your personal eRep website, always add your link for your website – you don’t want to drive traffic to shop Avon, and then not get credit because link was not direct to your own personal site!

Plus most sites, like Facebook, will allow you to promote your business page with advertising. Each social media site is different in pricing and how promotions work, but Facebook for example allows you to promote your page at just $1.00 a day.

Stay consistent, and do not get discouraged. I can assure you, building an online presence takes time but is worth it, just be patient! For a long time, I was worried my efforts were not building leads for my business, but I followed the golden rule of consistency, and now 60% of my sales are online, from customers I reached through Social Media.

I am looking forward to hearing back from you and continuing to help you build your business.

Sincerely,

Renee M Fitts

How does Avon work?

How does Avon work?

Avon representatives have one Campaign every 2 weeks. During each Campaign, the Avon representative will collect orders from customers to submit on the representative’s submit date. All orders are submitted at once for the best shipping price. The total of all orders will determine what will be due to Avon based on the Avon pay chart (Avon Earnings Chart.) A representative will earn 20-50% from customer sales based on the Avon pay scale.

Once the full set of orders is submitted to Avon, the Representative will receive an estimated amount due to Avon right away. This is only an estimated amount, and may be adjusted based on sale prices, taxes, product availability, and other adjustments. The following day, Avon will have posted the Representative invoice that has been adjusted and will show the actual amount due to Avon.

The Avon representative invoice will group products based on earnings levels (if there are different levels,) demonstration products, and business tools. Each group will list the product, product number, quantity, price (brochure price,) total price (brochure price times quantity,) and your cost. The total price is the price that the Avon representative charges the customer, and the your cost listed is how much the Avon representative pays Avon. The difference between the price and your cost is the earnings the Avon representative has made from the sale.

How Avon works, the quick and general overview:

• Avon customer orders product from Avon representative.
• Avon representative orders requested products from Avon.
• Avon charges the Avon representative a cost based on sales for the current campaign.
• Avon representative pays Avon the representative cost.
• Avon representative receives products from Avon, and delivers to customer.
• Avon representative charges Avon customer brochure price.
• Avon brochure price is higher than Avon representative cost. (As long as total of sale for the campaign are $50 or higher.)
• Avon representative has earned money from receiving the brochure price from the customer price, and only paying Avon the representative cost.
• Avon does not send money to the representative because the representative pays representative cost, and the difference in the representative cost and the brochure price is the representative’s earnings.
• Keep this in mind when sending returns to Avon. Avon will credit the Avon representative the representative cost, not the brochure price.

If you are not an Avon representative, and you would like to signup to sell Avon:

Go to www.startavon.com

Enter Avon reference code RENEEMOREAU

Fill out the application; there is a $15 non-refundable start-up fee to become an Avon representative.

How does Avon pay representatives? 

Avon allows representatives to earn in different ways. An Avon representative can earn buy selling Avon products to customers and selling Avon products online, or by starting Avon leadership and building an Avon team. We will discuss earning from Avon leadership in another post, but let’s take a look at how Avon representative payment works on Avon sales.

When an Avon representative sells Avon products, Avon does not send the representative any compensation because the earnings are received by the representative directly through the customer transaction. (As explained above.)

Selling Avon online is free and easy with your Avon representative online store. Avon allows each representative their own online store with a unique URL so your customer orders will count towards your Avon sales for the current campaign. With the online store, a customer orders from Avon, pays Avon, and receives the product from Avon. The Avon representative does not need to be involved with the transaction, but will still receive the sales awards, and the earnings (as explained on the yourAvon.com website for representatives.) 

After a representative as received an online order, typically 2-4 business days, the representative will receive a credit on their representative Avon account. On the due day for the representative to submit customer orders to Avon, the representative cost for the submitted orders (by the representative's offline customers) will be adjusted for the online and offline total sales for the campaign. The following day, the Avon representative invoice will show the earnings from the online sales have been deducted from the amount due by the representative, and the representative will have less to pay Avon because of the credit from online sales, or may not need to pay at all! 

If the online Avon sales credit is higher than the Avon representative cost for the campaign order, the representative will not owe Avon…instead Avon will owe the representative. If the credit is more than $15, Avon will send the representative a check in the amount of the credit. (The representative may also sign up for direct deposit, and the amount will deposit direct to the representative’s bank of choice.) If the credit is less than $15, the credit will roll-over to the following campaign.
