Selling and Service
Direct Selling
Finding others to Sell and Service
2nd Dimension (MLM)
One thing that is for certain is the we know the winning formula for success with Avon is to work our direct selling and MLM strategy in partnership.
Direct selling is simply distributing your brochures or sending an e-brochure to Customers and selling and servicing your Customers and then earning a profit from 15-50% of your sales.
The 2nd dimension to our business is finding others to sell and service Customers as well. As a Leadership Representative you also earn bonuses while you build your title as well as earn commissions from your Team’s total campaign sales.

10. Create Your Success Plan
Determine Your Dream
Believe In Your Potential
2. Set Goals and Write Down Your Goals
Make A True Decision –
“I will achieve this goal”
Create a Focused Plan
Create A Focused Plan
To create your success plan – it all begins with determining your dream and deciding what you really want and where you want to go in life.
The true component of fulfilling your dream is to believe in your potential. Belief in yourself is the number one ingredient that will make it possible to accomplish your dream.
Second…make a list of your lifetime goals, in any order. The important thing is to put them in writing.
The next step is to make a true decision to accomplish your goals. To accomplish your goal, you must avoid using phrases like “I want to”, “I hope” or “I would like” To really achieve your goal, you need to state with complete conviction, “I will achieve this goal”
The third step in turning your dream into a reality is to create a focused plan, which will enable you to gauge your progress and adjust your approach as obstacles - and even new opportunities arise.

11. Create Your Success Plan
3. Believe and Expect to WIN
Believe you will Achieve
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right!”
4. Take Focused Action
Overcome Your Fears
Keep A Positive Perspective – Never Give Up
Start by taking small action steps and steadily grow strong roots of confidence to help you focus on one simple and constant thought – expect to win
It has been proven that your thoughts can dictate what you will or will not accomplish. Perhaps automaker Henry Ford said it the best – “whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right.
You may encounter people who want to criticize your actions and your belief that you can succeed. You may even have your own critic in your head. Tune out these critics and refuse to listen to them, because attitudes are contagious and negative attitudes can destroy your dreams
Your daily actions must be focused on doing what you need to accomplish your goals. Focusing on the right types of action is key. Determine what you need to accomplish and exactly how you will do it.

12. Create Your Success Plan
5. Lead Your Team
Recognize Boomerang Blessings
Be A Good Leader
Associate with like-minded people
When you unselfishly give to others, rewards will come back to you. These rewards are called boomerang blessings. When you recognize the power of this concept, your success will be nothing short of phenomenal.
Strong leadership is critical to your success – and to the success of your Team. You can become a good leader by learning from people who have already accomplished the success you desire, and teaching others to duplicate your actions
- An important part of being a strong leader is associating with people who share your values, goals, work ethic, and attitude. By associating with like-minded people, you will build a more effective, powerful team because you all share the same vision and are working toward the same goals.

13. P P A A T T D D Your Roadmap to Success
PATD is the roadmap to your Success! Let’s begin with prospecting and appointing

14. What is Prospecting & Appointing?
Prospecting is sharing the Avon Earning opportunity,
gathering names and contact information.
Appointing is the act of conducting the
Believe Conversation with a prospect to become an
Independent Avon Representative
So what is Prospecting and Appointing?
Prospecting is sharing the Avon Earning opportunity, gathering names and contact information.
By believing wholeheartedly in our opportunity it gives you the confidence and the passion to share it with others. Your enthusiasm will rub off on your prospect and she will be more than willing to hear what you have to offer.
Appointing is the act of conducting the Believe Conversation with a prospect to become an Independent Avon Representative. During this initial contact it is essential to provide the new prospect with a complete training. This allows her to gain knowledge and information about the Company she is choosing as her Home based business opportunity.

15. Why Do We Need to Prospect?
Prospecting is the art of networking and a way of developing and expanding your business!
Why do we need to prospect?
The answer is to grow our business. In Direct sales (and this holds true in all direct sales organizations) you always have a turnover of people and we have to replace those who leave. To steadily increase your Team sales from one year to the next you need to have more Representatives selling our Avon brand. Also, in order to move Title you need to inspire new and existing Team members to engage into the Leadership strategy.

16. Prospecting Is The Foundation of Your Business
Leads are a necessity
If you don’t talk to enough
people you won’t have
team growth
Become a ‘Master Prospector’
by consistent use of the skill
everyday
While prospecting, which is really talking about the Avon earning opportunity with Everyone you come into contact with – you will notice that with the right behaviour you build a good collection of leads. The behaviour I am referring to is simply asking for a name and contact information of the person you spoke to even if she is not interested today. Always keep in mind that life is always changing and throws us a few curve balls now and again. Therefore, we never know when the next time you call or her, she just might say yes!
Just let her know that even though today might not be the right timing, perhaps you could give her a call in a few months to see if timing would be better.
Remember the key to Team growth is talking to enough people on a consistent basis. With consistent use of the skill – before you know it, you will be a master at prospecting.

17. Do You Multiply Your Efforts?
Don’t do it alone,
promote Leadership and
train someone on your
Team everyday!
You will be more
successful with others prospecting with you
Prospecting is “FUN” or it certainly can be if you have someone with you when you are prospecting. Not only does it make it fun, it also means that in that hour, as an example - instead of you speaking to 30 people – you and one of your Team members have now probably spoken to 60 people – which means more success!

18. Do You Look Like You Believe it?P
Do You Look Like You Believe it?
Project confidence
Be positive, create excitement
Look the part!
Our Avon Opportunity can literally change people’s lives - be sure that those you are approaching are feeling that “vibe”
Project confidence, be positive, and exude your passion and belief in what you have to offer someone!
Always keep in mind – you never know how long the person you are approaching has been looking for an opportunity that you have for her today.
$10 to start your own home based business? – simply amazing!

19. Do People Know You’re In Business?
Be ready at any time to talk Avon
Ask for referrals
Use the tools,
social media, etc.
The growth explosion of your business really depends on you. Ask yourself, do people know you are in business?
The only way they will for sure – is if you tell them, so be ready to talk about your business anytime, ask people that you communicate with for referrals. The person you are speaking to, might not be ready to commit today, but does she happen to know of someone?
Use Facebook, , telephone, business cards, recruiting and informational flyers to spread the news.

20. Prospecting Activities
Invitation Lists
Door to Door
Malls
Parks
Tailgating
Restaurants
Newspapers/telephone
Bulletin Boards

Avon Opportunity Meetings
Social Media
Ballot Boxes
Here are some great prospecting activities.
Prospect during the Believe Conversation with the invitation to identify your new Team members first recruits.
Partner with your Team members and prospect door to door – in malls – parks – restaurants etc.
Newspaper prospecting is simply going through the help wanted, and classified ads. Here is an example – a lady is advertising her house cleaning business, obviously she is looking to increase her earnings. This is the ideal opportunity to call her and offer her our earning opportunity and mention she can sell to her clientele
All the above mentioned are excellent ways to connect with potential prospects. Keep in mind that Avon on Locations, trade shows, Avon in your Home parties, Avon opportunity meetings and Social media are ideal ways to “Sell the benefits” of our earning opportunity as you have a larger audience waiting to hear what you have to offer.

23. How To Identify a Prospecting Opportunity?

The opportunity is everywhere, take time to identify someone you can approach.

31. What is Your Conversion Rate?
Conversion rate - # of people you need to speak to before a ‘YES’
2 Conversion Rates
1) ? before you book an interview
2) ? Interviews before someone says ‘YES’ to the Avon Opportunity
Your conversion rate refers to the number of people you will need to speak to before you get a ‘yes’
At Avon we track 2 conversion rates:
First is the number of people you need to speak to about the Avon opportunity in order to book an interview and share more about the business opportunity.
Second is the number of interviews you conduct face to face in order to have one person say yes and start an Avon business. Starting an Avon business refers to actually submitting a first order.
Once you know your conversion rate, you can use the information to plan how many people you will need to speak to in order to book an interview and how many interviews you need to conduct in order to add one person to your Team.
For example: using your conversion rate ask yourself...how much time do I need to prospect to get two or more Representatives on my Team this week? You may need to approach 30 or 40 people. Next determine how long that will take? At 2 minutes per person that could equal approximately 60 – 90 minutes within that week. You could also book and AOL (Avon on Location), which allows you to speak to a lot of people in a short period of time.
As you improve your skills, your conversion rate will also improve. At the beginning you might get only one interview from 30 approaches whereas practice can improve that to one in 15 approaches.

32. The important thing is to stick to the plan – keep in mind that you are going to get “no’s” and that’s OK because that just means you are getting closer to the “yes”
As per Thomas Edison’s quotes – many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
If you are currently at a 30 to 1 conversion rate – don’t stop at 25 as you are on your way to finding the one that is ready to say yes!

33. asking for more information
An objection is really
asking for more information
An objection is really a question in disguise and the person objecting is actually looking for more information.
An objection is nor necessarily a refusal but rather “I am not thoroughly convinced yet so give me more information.
When you receive an objection, it is time to turn off selling and turn on your listening skills. Ask questions so that you can address the under lying fears and work towards a solution.
Respect or agree with the objection. Always respect the other persons opinion. The worst thing that you can do is become defensive. For instance a prospect says “I had a friend who tried Avon and she spent more money that she made. You reply – “I appreciate your concern”
Now you need to relate to the objection; I understand that your biggest fear would be that you would loose money rather than making money. I have had many join who shared the same fear but found that they were able to earn enough money to purchase all their own products and still earn money to contribute to family needs and /or wants.
Answer the objection by giving a solution. One of the things that I am most proud of is Avon’s dedication to provide to provide training so that their Representatives succeed.
Ask open ended questions to get more information. Where, When, Tell me, Can you.
Open ended questions will give you the solution
