We did the Freedom Weekend Aloft event and I got 4 new recruits, which was awesome. Really exciting. We worked hard, it was a long day but so rewarding. It was nice to grow my downline some more.
We are now working towards Mauldinfest, as we heard the other week that we have been successful in our application to take part in that. I'm hoping to replicate the successes of FWA. There will be 8 of us working the 2 day event and I'm excited about what we may achieve.
I'm also working on doing a major fundraiser for local military members assigned to Iraq recently, and for their families, through our local Marine unit. That is something I have high hopes for, as no matter what our personal feelings about the war, I feel we need to support the troops and this is just an amazing way. Basically, we will be approaching local companies to ask permission to request their employees purchase a specific pack of items which will actually be given to the Marines to ship to the people overseas - toiletries like shower gel and deodorant, foot care products, etc - but my team and I are also going to forego our commission and donate that to the Marines also, to be used as needed for the support of those in Iraq or unexpected needs of family still here. So they win twice! But we still get award points for the amount of sales which means we'll make it to PC quicker, so we still reap a benefit from it too. Everybody wins.
We are going to see how it goes and then maybe approach other branches of the military and ask if they would give us permission to do it for them also.
I'm well on my way to achieving my goal of being Advanced Unit Leader by Christmas and I'm so excited. I've been trying to expand my customer base, and at the same time, still recruiting new reps. Seems I am making deliveries over a greater area now, love the tax breaks for milage! It all helps!
Well, got to dash - have a delivery this morning ... and later, hubby and I are having massages. Oh I love my life!

Oh what a lovely day!
Today has been a wonderful AVON day.
For starters, I delivered a late order from C-9. Some of my customers aren’t very well off and this one lady buys a lot but sometimes can’t pay when it comes in, so I hold it a couple of weeks and then she pays me as soon as she has it. She called me last night and asked if I could bring it to her today, so I said “sure”. Took it in, chatted a while and handed out extra books. Satisfied customer, money back into my bank account!
I had some old books from a couple of campaigns ago, just out of date to where I couldn’t back order from them, so went tossing in this one subdivision fairly close to where I live. I printed out nice little letters explaining the books were out of date but that they could email or call me for a current brochure, samples or info and that I was looking for reps for my downline, helpers and new customers.
Then I’d received an email from a lady who used to sell but had ended up owing AVON, she’d paid it up and now wanted to sell again. She’d contacted someone else and they’d spoken to her a couple of times but never came through to sign her up. I wasn’t sure if maybe her account had gone to collections and maybe the other Rep had found out this girl couldn’t be a Rep again. So, I emailed her and told her I’d check into it, emailed my DM, who very nicely checked into it for me and came back and said she couldn’t find anything - thus nothing bad – about this girl. So I called her and now I’m signing her up tomorrow.
Feeling extremely happy about that, I was even happier when the phone rang, and it was a lady who’d picked up one of my books from the morning’s tossing. We chatted awhile, she wanted to know about signing up and all about selling AVON so I answered all her questions. I’m going to be appointing her now on Monday at 11am. Woohoo!
I am just so chuffed, it’s been a wonderful AVON day! And I’m fired up with it all.
Tomorrow I get my delivery, and I’m making 20 tote bags this time to take into businesses to try to build my customer base and maybe get some additional recruits. I’m putting a couple of brochures, samples, a recruiting flyer, and an introductory letter into each. My upline and I will be going out to deliver them next week.
I’m also making up 20 test drive kits to hand out to prospects, brochures, order book, introductory letter. I’m definitely working at building my downline and sales in C-11!

And so it begins ...
Welcome to my blog and tanks for stopping by; I'm kind of new to this so it may take me a few days to get this actually worked out so that you can check out my brochures online but I will be trying to figure it out.
I LOVE my AVON and I get silly about it. I'm 51, and years ago was considered a rebel by many. I wasn't very prissy back then and I'm not particularly prissy even now, I don't even wear make up. I've always loved what I call my smellies though, perfumes, lotions, talcs. I always wanted to smell nice. Over the years I've used an awful lot of AVON but I really have no idea why, all of a sudden, Iwanted to become an AVON lady myself.
I have so much fun with it though. It helps because I talk to anyone and everyone anyway, I end up in conversations at the grocery store all the while, so in a way that is an asset with the AVON. And I talk AVON all the while.
At first my hubby wasn't really enthralled but as my business has stared growing and he's seeing some of the benefits and my resilience bearing fruit, he's getting more into it. From the beginning he's taken books into work for me and collected/delivered orders there.
My goal is to make President's Club as soon as possible in this new AVON year, and also to add more people to my downline team and build my customer base. With a view to the latter, I have an online site for people who are not in my local area, for browsing offers and ordering for direct delivery. That's at www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey and if you register on the site and then email me at RosesAVON4You@aol.com, I'll send you a link to a page to get your own personal beauty profile absolutely free. It's fun, and you can try out different looks and the face on the site changes according to your input.
Anyway, have a beautiful week. Feel free to email me with any questions you might have about AVON products.
