Learning as you go...

As Im getting more into selling Avon Im learning that many of the suggestions that are given to you really work. For example, yesterday I met with a new customer who placed a big order partly from my suggestions. I encourage all reps to really learn each brochure and make suggestions. I suggested the customer take advantage of this campaigns SSS deal for light and lush as well as the rare pearls sale and she purchased both along with other things. If I hadn't looked through the brochure and caught up on some of the deals I might've had a pretty small order (she was only looking to purchase deodorant). So, again, learn each catalog and suggest some of the deals. They really are a great bargain and the worst thing they can say is no...

Success!!!

What a glorious day! After about 1 week of being an Avon rep I've made my first sale! Which brings me to another lesson I've learned...Many people out there may be like me and not want to bombard family,n friends, co workers, etc w/ Avon brochures. Subtly works too! I made my first sale by just having a brochure on my desk! That way, interested people come to you. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't tell people about your newfound career. By all means, share the wealth, so to speak. But, I understand just starting out can make you a little self conscious. So start out small. But, be advised you will soon have to come out of your cage :) Happy selling!
