Many Avon Reps at times find themselves with a box or two of unopened products.
Try a free add with Craigslist, you may be able to liquidate some of your product as well as pick up some new customers. For those looking to recruit there is also the opportunity to build contacts!

Why People Fail
I've talked about this before, but just recently I've come to understand how important it is to keep our "reasons" in front of us. I've titled this entry "Why People Fail" for a good reason. I believe there is really only one - that's right one reason that people fail. It has nothing to do with Avon, actually it applies to everything we aspire to in life.
Here's why I've come to realize the importance of this little secret. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I decided to relocate - to another country! We were so excited, we wrote down all the advantages to our move - we couldn't wait to get going! Naturally there is alot to do. We tucked away our list got busy and within a few days we started to get lazy. That's right LAZY. We were in stop mode, unless we got busy again we would be exactly where we started.!
So here is the point! Many people get started in their business, imagine doing well then simply get lazy! They forget the reason they started their business in the first place. It really doesn't matter what that reason is; it just wasn't that important after all.
I found a link for
The Fix
You didn't start your business with the intention of failing, just like I didn't decide to relocate just to stay where I am - that's dumb.
In order to get out of life what you want you simply must realize what it is you want (be specific), and put that desire in front of you every day - the fridge is a good place.
You could list the advantages of your new life as a Advanced Unit Leader or dream big and go for Senior Executive Unit Leader. The key point is to realize that your life will unfold in whatever direction you decide.
A good book or movie to see is "The Secret". This concept is fully explained and will change your life!

How do you say "Thanks"
You don't see this much anymore, but it works! Buy a bunch of thank you cards, write a short note and thank everyone that deserves being thanked - everyone. The butcher who cuts your meat the way you like, the lady who cuts your hair and does a good job - everyone! It's simple write a quick thanks (handwritten)
and drop it in the mail - add a business card if you like, just make a point of doing it. You'll be amazed at the result the seeds you've planted will bring! Think of it this way, how would you feel if someone were to thank you with a hand written card? Besides it's nice to get something in the mail besides bills!

Brand Yourself
Ok we all know the
Avon brand (logo,name,products and such). The company has worked hard to protect that brand. It is after all their reputation. For those that are unclear about what branding is - think Pepsi, Coke, Burger King. Get the idea?
Did you know that you can actually brand yourself? Yup, sure can. If you now have se customers you already have branded yourself. These folks know you as the Avon lady - your face, your service and your personality all work to create your brand.
Now your job is to have others become familiar with your brand - you over the other Avon Representatives in the area. So how do you do this? Come up with something catchy, some little slogan including your name that identifies - you.
Example:
Sally Smith
Avon Representative
Because you deserve the BEST!
Once you've come up with your "brand" include it on all your emails along with your web-store,
Phone number, twitter account, facebook contact etc.
(this is the signature at the bottom of every email you send.
Put it on brochures flyers - anything! Folks will begin to associate your brand with you!
