Out and About Recruitment
Fab Day - met with my Old Area Manager, with whom we have a good bond and work ethic...
We work while we chat, mostly planned around what we are going to eat :)
Cruised down to Southend, had a nice coffee, she drove us around for a bit looking for some leads, got a couple of leads, then met a couple of ladies who wanted to join, took them to KFC and signed them on (on their way to bingo!)
Easy as a family bucket for dinner!

Recruitment in the sun is much more fun
Since the sun has been shining, I am finding that people seem much more approachable, they are prepared to chat and listen and hence more prepared to consider taking up my offer of the 5 day challenge or to consider joining AVON with Essex-Reps.

Internet Advertising Begins to Pay Off
I know it can take some time for internet advertising to really kick in. I have been building websites for nearly 20 years and I tend to say to clients not to expect too much from a website within the first six months.
I cannot say that I get a huge volume of hits to my website www.essex-reps.com - but since I did the map recruitment pages and have been advertising for jobs in specific areas of Essex on other people's more established free advertising sites I have been waiting for someone to sign up this way.
Sure enough - tonight - that has happened!! I have an appointment tomorrow from an online advert that I put up just two weeks ago. I have put up about 12 more tonight and will continue to grow this number - "work it if it works !!!".

Prospecting with the '5 Day Challenge'
Out prospecting today and within one hour managed a sign up, gave out four '5 Day Challenge' bags (which might mean some appointments on Monday) and another lady's number who might join when she is back from her holiday. A very productive hour!
The 5 day challenge consists of an AVON carrier bag containing 5 brochures, some order forms and a prospecting card with my details on it.
Ask the prospective Rep (basically any likely looking female) if she would be interested in earning some extra money selling beauty and make-up products? Do the usual sales talk including the ultimate line "Would you like to take the 5 day challenge?". Then continue to explain you'll give them the bag to work with, 5 days to get as many orders as you can and you'll give them a call on Monday to see how they are getting along and to sign them up. There is no obligation to join Avon, but they will have had a taste of how it is. It may be worth adding that this is probably going to be the hardest they will have to work to get the orders because a) they'll only have 5 days, normally you get 3 weeks b) when they are officially signed on they will have an online brochure to use as well to share on facebook, email, text etc and c) it may be possible to assign them some territory, a street or area that they can drop books to.
It works - it really does - the 5 day challenge proved to be good today - if just one of the four signs on, it will have been worthwhile :)
Great idea from my new Area Sales Manager - whom I met today and she's lovely.
