Mailbox Money - It Rocks!

Okay I am SO excited right now.  Something happened for the very first time today, something amazing, cool, makes me happy kinda something! MONEY IN THE MAIL!

It isn't the first time I've received a check from Avon, I get those bonus checks when I sign someone up and they do well in their first few campaigns.  But this check is different.  I made Unit Leader, so now I get a percentage bonus check on my downline's sales.  Not a huge percentage, but it slides based on how much their orders are, and if they are someone directly under me, or one generation down.  My downline is not huge yet, 21 representatives under me in my first, second and third generations, and not everyone is active.  But of those that did place orders in the last campaign, I got a small percentage.  I received a check for $25.23.

Now that might not seem like a lot to you, but it is a big hairy deal to me!  It is $25.23 I didn't have before, and had not planned on receiving.  It's BONUS money!  It isn't my commissions, it isn't recruitment bonus money, it's money for being a Unit Leader.  And it is total motivation for me!  The bigger my downline and the more and better they perform, the more the checks for leadership will become.  My idol in Avon recently posted that a leadership check of hers was over $9,600!!!! Not bad for a 2 week stretch, and that isn't counting her recruitment bonuses or her commissions of 50% of her sales.  Yes, there IS money in being in Avon, especially in leadership.

So, what did I do? Went right out and handed out 3 brochures and have one new order!  Not bad for a quick drive up on the pike to grab a sweet tea and a diet coke!

What could you do with more money?  I'm looking for good women AND men to join my team.  You don't have to be local, you can still join my team, anywhere in the United States!  Just go to The Avon Sign Up Page and enter BREDESTEGE-GARD as the code and join my team, we're rising to the top, don't be left behind!  YOU could be receiving bonus checks in your mail, mailbox money, as you build your business with Avon!

Does Your Group Need Some Hassle Free Funding?

Most all of us have been touched by fund raising in one fashion or another. Either our own kids were selling candy bars, wrapping paper and cookie dough, or the neighbor children have come to our door peddling such goods in the hopes of raising much needed money for their band, team, etc. If you have ever been involved in this type of fund raiser you know what a huge hassle it can be to organize, or even just be the parent of the child trying to sell the items to anyone and everyone.

I have a fund raiser idea for you that is zero hassle. Doesn't matter where in the United States you are, I will work with you on this adventure, you won't believe how simple this will be!

I will design a fund raiser card for your group. You and the group hand out the cards to anyone and everyone you know and can think of, totally free of cost. Then, anytime anyone orders Avon from me, presenting or mentioning that fund raiser card, I will donate 10% of their purchase to your group in their name. At the end of every month I will send the designated group chair person or treasurer, a list of names of those that purchased, their total, and the total due the group. I will include a check for the total funds raised that month. No expiration, no need to sell anything. Avon sells itself! They can order right on my website, then let me know who they are and that they ordered with that card and your group benefits!

Daycare centers, sports teams, school bands, charity organizations, youth groups, mission trips, whatever the group, if they need the funds, we can work together!

These are just a few of the hundreds of designs I can order and ship to you for your group's fund raising. Contact me on my online AVON site and we can get fund raising started for you!

Some Day These Will Be Fond Memories

The day will come when I will be writing my story for others to read, of how I became THE Avon Lady in my area of town.  I just know it because failure is simply not an option for me.

In that story will be tales about evenings like last night.  Me, my sister and my mom were all watching DVR'd episodes of "Body Of Proof" while stamping and rolling Avon brochures.  We stamp and date them, then put them in the plastic 'what's new' bags.  Then we fold the top over and roll the brochure and put a rubber band around it.  When I say we 'toss' brochures now, I mean it.  We toss them from the moving car just like the paper boy would the daily news, right onto the driveways.  We had been walking them and hanging them on doors, but this was very time consuming.  I distributed 200 brochures yesterday in the morning in about 15 minutes time by driving slowly down the street and tossing them.  Today we tossed about 700 total for the 3 of us.  Now we are hoping for incoming orders!

Our day will come, down the road, when we will have an area/office to do all this in and  some helpers to assist with the dating, stamping and rolling.  For now we do what we have too.


Another memory will be like this morning.  See, I am an in home daycare provider, I watch kids in my home.  During the day I have a 3 month old, 1 year old and a 2 year old.  After school two 7 year olds join us.  I have not been diligent in getting brochures out in the past because I am busy all day with kids and I cannot take 3 little ones to walk brochures around.  Yesterday was the first time I rolled and tossed, an idea from another team's blog.  Today, it was me and sis, in the front seat with kids in the back seat, tossing out both sides of the car.  My Avon idol, Lisa Wilber, started out in the trailer park.  I am breaking ground with breakfast stains from little hands on my shirt, and baby formula 'burp' remains on my shirt and 3 car seats in the back seat of the car.  I love it!

It won't last forever!  Remember my name, because it will be all over Avon as a top sales rep and leader, one day soon!

Don't Reinvent The Wheel

I've been struggling  with my Avon business since the beginning.  Oh I get by just fine, the problem is coming up with fresh, creative ideas for sales and recruiting.  I finally had a light bulb moment when I realized I was trying to reinvent the wheel.

Instead of frying brain cells from over activity trying to dream up great ways to market, why not learn and use the things being shared by those who are smashing successes?  Like my Avon idol, Lisa Wilber, #6 in sales in the country and making over $300,000 a year in Avon (she openly shared her tax return when speaking to prove this).  Lisa shares on Facebook,  through her own website, blog and published books,  many fantastic ideas for growing this business.  It supports the "in business FOR yourself but not BY yourself" that Avon teaches us in training.  One of my favorite parts of district sales meetings is the recognition of other reps accomplishments and when they share their tips.  I borrowed one this past week in creating a newsletter to email to my customers.  A way to highlight sales and other things I believe they will want to know!  It also keeps me and Avon in the front  of  their mind.

The funny thing is, when reading what others  have done, or sharing ideas  with other reps, those  things seem to act like fertilizer in the creative part of my brain and next  thing I know I am coming up with new ideas!  Oh not original as I am sure somewhere another rep has already  thought them up but they are new to me and hopefully will be great additions.



Today I used Lisa Wilber's rule, that I am now  applying to my own life.  Everyone I have  contact with gets something from me and my business.  My business card, a brochure, a trial size product...whatever it takes to get my name and what I sell  into their hands.  I've opted to give everyone a brochure in a What's New bag (those clear plastic Avon bags for hanging on doors) along with a mini or trial size of a product or a lip balm or hand cream.  Oh and a flyer about selling Avon.  I also make sure I am wearing my business in the form of my perfume (Imari), jewelry (every one of my 6 rings, my necklace and earrings), and an Avon logo shirt.  No one has to guess with me.  Funny thing is today I had 6 compliments on my ring.  It is the snake ring from Avon, I have the watch as well.  3 people that commented received a brochure with a gift from me, a Naturals Mini Anti-bacterial Hand Gel.  One woman today (my waitress at lunch) asked for a brochure. She noticed my Avon logo shirt and jewelry and requested one.   She was getting one anyway but she didn't know that, her asking just made it easier to hopefully close a sale as we actually interacted and if they ask for one, they are for sure interested.

I am going to the store in a bit, I WILL have brochures with gifts in my purse.

Anyway, don't struggle trying to come up with great ideas.  Use what is tried and proven from others, it is why they share them!
