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!!!

1hr out = 8 appointments + 2 leads
A really productive hour of prospecting in and around a local high street yesterday - I got 8 appointments booked and two leads... Really happy with that!
Just used the 5 day challenge approach (i had seven bags prepared) but didn't even need to offer It as a challenge - just gave it to them to get started until I come to do the appointment ;)
So after that I treated myself to a break - pot if tea and some yummy cake with a friend and a lovely catchup in a local cafe - in fact much brighter and calmer than Costa and cheaper too - then popped to see Mum and sat in her garden for half an hour!
Great to get the work out of the way and have time to play- especially on a sunny day (that wasn't meant to rhyme but it does ... Hey!)

Back on Track - Boost Recruitment
YEP - A four day week after the May Bank Holiday and this week, in fact tomorrow, I really would like to recruit 4 new Sales Reps. I have a couple of pre-bank holiday weekend leads to follow up, one refer a friend and also a customer who is interested in joining, it is just a question of whether I can sell it to them to commit tomorrow, or even this week!
My Sales Leadership skills still need to be perfected into a winning formula and I really need to get my time-management skills into play also, to allow myself the right amount of time on the street, following up leads on the phone and actually doing appointments. It doesn't tale long to do any of these things but I need to get into some better planning habits!
Well..... thats it, the night before the recruitment boost and I am all set, flyers with my information on them, my notebook with the leads phone numbers, and a pen to take some more, the boot is full of brochures and recruitment packs... I FEEL READY! Bring it on!

Ordering Books for Recruitment as a new Sales Leader
So, I've qualified to be a Sales Leader and I will be supporting myself pretty soon...
At the moment I'm on Campaign 9 (have recently recruited some Reps and have about 80 Campaign 9 brochures free to recruit approximately 4 more, should the chance arise)

"Officially" Qualified as an AVON Sales Leader
YIPEE and Phew... so it's taken just over 3 months to get here and I am now " officially" an ACTIVE Sales Leader!
What do you need to be an ACTIVE Sales Leader?
I needed 5 orders and group sales of £888 and personal sales of £148 - I am happy to announce that I have succeeded and exceeded that target - YES!

Deliveries for Customers and Reps
Today was area 484 delivery day for Campaign 7. As usual I was happy to receive deliveries for some of my own Reps and a couple of others that my Area Manager asked if I wouldn't mind...
So the doorbell goes at 8:10am and Avon Delivery Guy brings in 5 stacks of brochure packs and 10 AVON boxes and a stack of nice bags! I had a chat with him about coming a bit earlier and next time he is going to come at 6am on his way past - which suits me fine, as I will be up for school/work most days - I said as long as he doesn't mind meeting me in my ONESIE LOL!

Orders due Team Essex-Reps
Back from a lovely Easter break on the day after our area's orders are due in...
So far so good, a small hiccup for one rep on my team who thought she had paid her previous order but hadn't actually paid it - thanks for the super support from my Area Manager guiding me through this problem.
Apart from that, everyone's on track and team Essex-Reps might just make me a proper Sales Leader on this Campaign. I do hope to hit the target, but will have to wait until later this week to see if everyone's orders add up to reach my goal.
Had some good ideas whilst away about recruitment, marketing, getting people on my POB, free gift incentives, newsletters for the team....
There just aren't really enough hours in my week for the Essex-Reps Empire I have built in my brain! Lol

Target One - Sales Leader - Nearly There
Well, I am nearly there to be a Sales Leader - just need to motivate my team to hit their sales and get a great group total.
Have really got excited after last night's meeting and put a lot of effort into planning how I can work with my own Sales Leaders, helping them on their AVON journey.
Further training with my own Area Manager next week will be great for me to learn a bit of proper sales techniques (like listening skills!) and asking open ended questions to my potential and existing REPS & Sales Leaders to find out more about them, who they know and how they will be motivated to reach their own targets and help them achieve their own dreams.
I am happy that this is a WIN-WIN business, with customers loving their products, reps enjoying getting out to meet people, Sales Leaders etc also very passionate about what they do. It really feels like a fellowship - an AVON family.
My latest sign on, was a Rep on Wednesday but after our meeting last night is now a Sales Leader, cooked a really fantastic lunch today - Rice 'n' peas and Jerk Chicken - heavenly. She is already my favourite!
Tonight I am happy for my team, looking to expand it as quickly and professionally as possible - keeping with the friendly start that I've pounced off with already though.
Loving Working for AVON so far... and that's not even counting the pennies, just the structure, the set up, the support, the help given, the way it really does change people's lives.

100 brochures for £11.50
Surely this is too good to be true!
I am still on my second campaign and my sales leader will be giving me some brochures this time, but I have just read that as a SALES LEADER and a memeber of the PRESIDENT'S CLUB, I am entitled to buy 20 packs of brochures for £11.50 - thats 100 brochures! WOOHOO
Oh, just came back down to earth on realising that I don't think I'm a member of the President's Club until I achieve a massive amount of sales in the first 18 campaigns...
Maybe someone could confirm this please?

INFO: What is a Sales Leader for AVON?
What is a Sales Leader?
As an AVON Representative I am interested in also doing Sales Leadership - it isn't a role that is full time with lots of responsibility. Basically it is a part time job as an independent worker doing as much or as little as you want to do - obviously the more you put in, the more you will get out of it.. but it's up to you how much time and effort you put in.
Both AVON Representatives and AVON Sales Leaders are self-employed. Therefore I can both choose the hours I work. (Phew!)
Role: As an AVON Sales Leader I will be promoting the AVON opportunity to others. My role will be to find people who want to earn a bit of extra money as an AVON Representative, I will then go on to recruit them, train and support them as a member of your team.
Cost: All AVON Sales Leaders are also AVON Representatives themselves. If you choose to become an AVON Sales Leader you will be charged a onetime fee of £30, for this fee you will be sent a “business in a bag” starter kit. This includes lots of recruiting tools to get your business off the ground. This fee is also charged to your own AVON representative account. (But not until after you've recruited your first two REPS - so you can opt in and then take a little time to think it over and set out your plan, find some suitable people etc etc).
Earnings & Criteria: As an AVON Sales Leader you earn anything from 2-12% commission from your teams net sales. There are four levels to Sales leadership and the percentage you earn will depend on your Sales Leader level. This bit will take a bit more research and understanding - so I will post about the pay structure again soon.
To opt in and be a Sales Leader - I went back onto the website and did just that, I could've asked the person that got me interested in being a REP - either way it IS easy to get started (officially!)
If you are brand new to AVON and you would like to become either an AVON Representative or AVON Sales Leader, you can apply directly through my website by clicking the links above (I will add them!).
