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I had some old books from a couple of campaigns ago, just out of date to where I couldn’t back order from them, so went tossing in this one subdivision fairly close to where I live. I printed out nice little letters explaining the books were out of date but that they could email or call me for a current brochure, samples or info and that I was looking for reps for my downline, helpers and new customers.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!
