3000+ hits on the Sales Leader Blog

YAY - I've been writing this blog since I wanted to be a Sales Leader, it has taken me all the way through the TSL (Trainee Sales Leader) stage to where I am now, which is an AVON SALES LEADER.

I am happy to be getting so many views to my blogs, I think my other blog had something rediculous like 117 this morning (and it's only 8.15am now!).  This is all good news :)

I currently have a full time job doing something else (yes just started back at work) AND
I have a team of 31 Avon Representatives based all over Essex.

So, I am easily reaching my first goal which was to have 5 active reps, personal sales of £150 and group sales of £989.  This I need to keep doing to hold my status, I have already received the bonus for keeping this status for three months, so am fairly confident I will keep it!

My next step up the ladder is ASL - Advanced Sales Leader - I have enough Reps (15 required), I have enough personal sales (£220 I think).  I have enough group sales - £3970 (or thereabouts)... but I NEED 2 active Sales Leaders in my team.

I have recruited a couple of potential sales leaders, however, now that I have taken on this new job I will have to do some serious planning to make sure that they get up and running, active and up to Sales Leader level asap.

Still loving AVON - today wearing VIVA Pink nail varnish and the Empowerment Necklace!!!

Sales Leadership + Full Time Day Job

So, tomorrow I will start back at work in a full time job and still continue with my AVON Sales Leadership.

I think it will all roll on just fine, I have the support of my area managers (old and new), I have trained my reps up so far to be as self-sufficient as possible - and I am ready to deal with anything that comes along as and when that happens.

I think it might be a little difficult to do any recruitment, or at least to do as much recruitment during the first few campaigns of having a full time job, but hopefully my area manager will take out one or two of my "wannabe-sales-leaders" and get them up and running - which in fact would work out fabulously well for all of us, for me, for my reps who want to grow and for my area manager to meet her targets.
