Prepare for questions and anticipate answers. And of course, have all the literature and materials you will need.

8 Steps To Get A Avon Representative Started Networking And Marketing On Facebook

Once a social platform for college students, facebook is the latest buzzword in social media marketing. However, most members are extremely online savvy and they smell blatant advertisements from miles away.


　
It is important to know some basics and gain experiences in utilizing the site. And interacting with its members before you start planning your facebook marketing campaign.


　
1. Create a profile. The first step is to create a profile. Sign up using your real name and upload some pictures. If you do not have an email with a top-level edu domain, by default you join a regional network based on your zip code or international address.



Later, you have the option to join your company's network and change your regional networks. You can change your networks twice in a 60-day period.


　
Always upload a profile picture. If you don't upload a picture, facebook places a default question mark icon. It is a good strategy to show your face in facebook. Don't use group pictures for your profile because others may have difficulty identifying you in the group pictures. Don't use logos, your cute cat or dogs’ pictures, or a picture of your expensive car and boat.


　
You don't have to fill out all the profile information. Fill in only the information you are comfortable sharing with others. If you want to find dates using facebook, fill up the relationship status feature of your profile accordingly.
　


Don't change your profile status often because others will notice it and doubt your trustworthiness.
　


2. Make friends. On Facebook a Avon Representatives can find active facebook friends by using the emails in their address book. Once you get a few friends, new friend requests will pour in from your friends of friends.
　


You can also search for friends and send requests. I searched “Avon” and asked everyone with Avon in their name to be my friend. Work on creating a network of 100 to 200 friends.



Don't make friends with celebrities because in most cases these are fake profiles setup for marketing purposes.


　
3. Upload pictures and videos. Start uploading some interesting pictures and group them in albums of travel pictures, baby shower photos, bachelor party scenes, etc. Pictures help people connect with your life without meeting you face to face. Always upload a number of related pictures or themes.


　
Create a random albums and put all your random pictures in the random album. Tag your pictures to identify people on the pictures. When you tag your friends in your pictures, they show up in their wall. You can also share your albums with others outside facebook.


　
Avon Representatives can also upload personal videos using their browser or mobile phone or directly record videos to facebook.
　


4. Use friends' walls and never post on your own wall. You have a wall in facebook for others to write notes. Don't write in your own wall. Write in your friends' walls. Your friends will write notes, share videos or links in your wall. You do the same in your friends' walls.


　
When a friend posts something on your wall, reply to the post. If you find the posting annoying, politely ask them to back off and clean up your wall.


　
5. Join a few groups. There are all sorts of organic groups in facebook. These are groups of people with similar interests. Find a few that interest you and join them.


　
You can create your own group but first find out if one exists on the same topic. This is an excellent place to be creative and get support from a bunch of people for your cause.


　
6. Create events and invite people. If you want to host a party, this is the feature you will use. Create your events and invite others to join. You can make an event public for your friends to see or private for the invitees to browse.


　
7. Send notes and share links. You send notes to your friends. Depending on the topic, you can send a note to a few friends or to all friends in your network.



Don't send chain letter notes because people find these repulsive. Your notes show up in your friends' news feeds or on their walls. A tagged note shows up on the wall, otherwise, it is found in the homepage news feed.


　
Use share for sharing links, even though you can use this feature for sharing notes. Share the link of a cheap travel-booking site that you found while surfing the net planning your upcoming vacation.
　


8. Visit your homepage everyday. Besides your profile page in facebook, you also have a homepage. You homepage displays collaborative news feeds of all your friends, event and group invitations, friendship requests, friends' birthdays, etc. If you want to know what is going on in your facebook friend circle, visit your homepage everyday.


　
The other features of facebook are poke, marketplace, facebook mobile, and hundreds of applications that enhance the facebook experience. As the facebook awareness grows, online marketers have started pounding the facebook door to gain a foothold.

Ronnie Gibson had 12 top 40 songs, and 2 top 5 songs on the mega music website Mp3.com around 2002. At that time he also produced his first CD “Hiding In The House”. And followed with the cd single for the song “Haunted House”.


In His Younger Days

In his younger days, Ronnie played bass guitar for several bands in and around the Cincinnati area. These days he runs several sites for his new music including ones on ReverbNation and Myspace.com. He has new recordings of new songs on the way, with a new CD being produced.

Are You The Reason You're Not Getting The Prospect?

The First Commandment of a Avon Representative

"Any Prospect Is A Good Prospect"

　

The mindset by which you approach a prospect determines the final outcome more than Anything Else you do. Therefore, your fame of mind should be friendly, confident, smiley, self-assured, enthusiastic, positive, and completely prepared. On your mind? You should be thinking about the customers.　


　
That's a great commandment but what do you do when you wake up late, have a nine o'clock appointment and still have to drop your teenager off at school? Your mindset is negative, unsure, nasty, and unprepared.
　
　　
The first step in the process of changing your belief system is to monitor your thoughts. And the next step is to control them through the power of choice.



According to a study "self-talk" is 150-300 word per minute. And it is thought that 40% of the messages in your mind are negative and self-critical. What you can do is choose to reframe your negative thought, and choose to let the voice in your mind talk about happy things.　
　

Choosing to change your mind changes your attitude. We all have days when we believe we will not get the prospects and there is really no reason to go out and prospect for customers and downline.

　
You will always have to deal with difficult, awkward and unresponsive people. When this happens to you, do not dwell on it and sink into despondency. Instead just forget about it, move on and start all over again.



In addition, you set the tone for the outcome with enthusiasm, attitude and by putting your belief system into place. Thinking you will get the prospect is dependent on your self-confidence. In return, self-confidence is based on your preparation.
　

　
We need to learn about our world everyday. And learning about our techniques will enable us to give ourselves those confident thoughts.

“Every Prospect is Good Prospect”

The Basics Of An Avon Fundraiser

One of the easiest ways for an Avon Representative to achieve president club or a higher level is by throwing an Avon fundraiser. I have heard of people who made $3000.00 in sales in a single event.





The biggest advantage of an Avon fund-raiser is selling useful products from a nationally known brand name that people will love spending money on. Parents would rather purchase bubble bath, sunscreen, lotion, seasonal gifts, and other needed products instead of over-priced candy.





There are two types of fund-raisers you can offer. The single page flyer, with easy to sell products on one side and an order form for on the other side. Or a full-brochure event, showing all the products.





An Avon fund-raisers provides a 40% profit on the total dollar sale of Avon products sold by your charity. You can give the whole 40% to the group or less. Many choose to give 30% so that they are compensated for their effort.





In order to achieve the 40% profit, your group would need to sell a minimum of $1,500.00 in Avon products. If your group’s sales total were below $1,500 you would earn the following profits:





Total Sales Percentage of Earnings

$0 - $249--20%

$249.01 - $40--25%

$401.01 - $850--30%

$850.01 - $1,499.99--35%

$1,500 and up--40%

As you can see by the enclosed chart it would only take 10 people selling $15 worth of Avon products to 10 customers to reach total sales of $1,500 and the 40% earnings profit margin.

If you are an Avon Representative who has done a fundraiser please comment below. I would like to interview some representatives and do a full post.

I Wrote This For Those Who Can Not Speak

What’s a good reason to give to a charity? Do think that “everybody else gives, they don’t need my help“? No! Not everyone is giving and everyday a dog goes hungry and a child sits in a hospital with nothing to look forward to.


Charities cover a wide range of issues and causes. There are charities for family planning, AIDS, animal protection, human rights, and cancer, just to name a few. People give to charities for various reasons, including personal reasons, religion and for a tax incentives.


I have chosen to include 2 charities on my blogs “Diary Of A Mad Avon Lady” and “A Business Woman” Story, The Art of Elysium and spcaLA. Both are very near and dear to my heart. They deal with the 3 things I love the most, children, the arts and animals.


The Art of Elysium encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. They provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.


spcaLA believes that animals, as living creatures, have value beyond economic measurement, and are entitled to legal, moral and ethical consideration and protection. spcaLA is not affiliated with any other "SPCA" or humane society. And do not receive any support from either of these agencies.

Both are non-profit and very worthy causes. Thank you for reading this post, and if you give, thank you from me, the children, and all those animals who can speak for themselves.


For more information on The Art Of Elysium and spcaLA, and to make a donation, even if it is $5, follow the links below.

Why You Should Be Using Trial-Sizes

The customers of Avon Representatives will almost always buy an Avon product if given the trial-size for free. People love free stuff and they especially like the trial-sizes because they see it as a “large gift” and have more of the product to try then with a small sample.


People today are hesitant to spend their hard-earned money on something new, unless they receive a recommendation from a friend, family member or other trusted source. But if Avon Representative offers them a trial-size of a product for free, two things happen; first they are allowed to test the product without any risk, and second a law of reciprocity kicks in, they will feel compelled to buy.


There are many ways to use this cost-effective way of letting Avon customers try an item. Avon Representatives should be on the look out for trial-sizes on sale in the brochures, flyers, and the outlet (you need to be giving your customers a outlet, they will be grateful to get the items for some cheap and will sometimes make a larger order). I also look on eBay for Avon Representatives who having an going out of business sale. However, calculate the cost per each item before bidding.


When giving trial-sizes away try to give them to people who would most likely use the item, your target market. Then tell them they can get the large size from you and try to get contact information. Also remember to give any instructions on how to use the product. And if you can, write down who got what, to follow up later.


I am going to give away some trial sizes of Anew and a coupon in campaign 4. Doing this I hope you boost sales, find new customers through referrals and lower my costs of marketing and customer acquisition.


Ways Avon Representatives Can Use Trial-Sizes

Promote a product

Gift for large order

Give to most loyal customers

Welcome to Avon gifts for first order

Pass out when out about with business card

Gift for when customer gives a referral

Give to customer so they can give them to friend or family to try and then get a referral

For you or customer to try a new product to be able to recommend it to others



Try this idea and let me know if it works for you as it has with me, I would really like to hear.
