I spoke witn our District sales Manager yesterday (at the supermarket actually). Thinking about it now it must have seemed strange for those shopping and overhearing our conversation...
I'm sure it must have seemed rather odd, a man becoming so involved in a conversation regarding AVON.
Thing is I'm not about "selling Avon" I'm about winning! In other words, if there are 100 Avon Representatives in our area my wife will be among the top if not the top. My job is to simply do all I can to help her. I get valuable information from our District Sales Manager. I take this information and get a snap shot of what's going on in our district, division and the entire country.
I was amazed to discover (I figured this out for myself) that apx 95% of the Ladies my wife had signed up had left the business! I thought, how is this possible? What are we doing wrong? Fact of the matter is this is common, only a few will rise to the top, most Ladies don't want to work at it, or spend their Avon money collected on other things instead of paying their Avon bill and they get removed.
So for those very few out there that want to make a go of it I've included the silver bullet, that little bit of information that, if you internalize it will make all the difference in the world.
Remember there are no gimmicks, no slick tricks to boost your sales. If you want to make gobs of money in this business, here's the formula....
* Get the brochures out there (lots of brochures)
* Get names of those that got the brochures (and phone number)
* FOLLOW-UP
* Teach others to do the same (lots of others)
* Be patient! Rome wasn't built in a day - you need more money - sell more stuff
When you get lazy and want to quit...
