Avon is #1 Direct Selling Company in the world and THE company for women and for good reason - it sells itself! As an Avon Representative, you know how good your product is and how well-loved the brand names are. Now, plan your strategy to join the ranks of the President's Recognition Award Winners at the first level of President's Club. With a few basic tools, you will join the top sellers in your region, too!

Things you'll need:

  • Avon Brochures
  • Contact list
  • Telephone
  • Computer (optional)

 

You ARE Avon!

Your first step is to look in the mirror. YOU are Avon and how the world sees you is how they will see your company and your products. Make sure each morning that you use an Avon skin care regime and that you wear at least one piece of Avon clothing, jewelry or accessories when you go out. They are great Avon conversation starters, order starters and lovely, too!

 

Your brochure is your store

Stock and distribute at least a case of brochures each campaign. Start with a full case and make sure you make the rounds each campaign to your customer list and cultivate "drop spots" at locations in your area. These can include, but are by no means limited to: schools, daycare centers, dry cleaners, doctors/dentist offices, libraries, community centers, etc. If you can, connect personally with an employee and strike up a relationship while asking if you can leave at least 6 books in a central location. For counter locations, I provide inexpensive baskets to hold the brochures that add a professional touch as well. Continue to increase your brochure order each campaign as you develop a network of brochure drops. Keep a box of brochures in your car - you never know!

Follow up with your customers every campaign. Your best customers will begin to call you before the deadline, but others will be so grateful for your call because you saved them from a missed order.

Avon sells itself!

Give samples to prospective customers, especially those ready to talk about a skin care regime. Always put samples of new products in orders along with new brochures and specials fliers. Know your customers and make sure to point out sales and specials that you know they would like.

Cultivate a group of helpers and recruit prospects. For those customers that work in office or school settings, throw in a few extra books and tell your customer these for any of her friends that might be interested. Let them know that you will give them something extra for helping - they'll love it!

 

Most importantly, plan to succeed. With $10,100 award sales needed each sales year, you will need approximately $389 per campaign, so plan your campaigns with that amount in mind and keep track of your progress. Use specials and incentives with each campaign and know where you stand each month toward your goals. Keep in touch with your up line and down line- they will be your biggest support and know exactly how you feel. Avon success is really about building relationships, both with your customers and with your co-workers, whether they manage you or you manage them. Take time to know and care for all of your Avon relationships, and they will take care of you! Find someone who has reached President's Club or higher and watch them - it IS possible!

 

After the yearly Campaign 7 sales data is in and you see that you have met President's Club goal, stop and take a breath and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from knowing you have worked your best for one of the best companies in the world - and it has paid off. Make sure you get a beautiful outfit for the Awards Banquet (an Avon dress and jewelry would be a good selection!) and pat yourself on the back - you deserve it!

From light florals and lace to nude Avon colour trends, makeup work the new season’s style
 
On your marks, get set, accessorise...
 
It’s one of the simplest ways to shift gears from winter to spring. Avon’s current range features on-trend nude shades, like the Erin Stretch Bracelet – a set of three pearl bracelets tied together with a chiffon ribbon – and the beige Ellie Shoulder Bag. Pair it with the Ellie Scarf – designed in a light polka-dot pattern to match the bag’s lining. And did we mention that all three cost only £25?

 
Easy does it, don't blow your budget...
 
Go easy on your wallet by looking to your winter wardrobe for staples that slip into spring. Bear in mind key trends this season: denim, ’60s dresses, lace, bright colours and pretty florals, says personal stylist Lisa Talbot.

 
Mix into your winter favourites: recipe for success
 
Lisa’s personal shopper tips!!

 
Denim: Ease into the look by wearing a denim shirt under a cute Aran knit. Or, for those already denim inclined, work a denim shirt over a white vest. Get inspiration from the designer jeans look then pull together with a boyfriend jacket and pale pumps.

 
60s dress: Don’t put away your tights and boots just yet! Pair them with a mod mini-dress and a cropped cardigan for a little vintage style… groovy baby.

 
Lace: This season’s hottest trend, lace, can be found from the catwalks to the high streets. Give it a go with a lace dress, and patent courts or biker boots. For a more understated look, wear a lace-shouldered top under a blazer.

 
Bright colours: Colour is the best way to inject a bit of spring into your wardrobe. Make an outfit truly pop with a bold top. Balance the look with neutrals - jeans, a cardi or a jumper. You can never go wrong with a splash of brightly coloured chiffon under a loose knit jumper.

 
Pretty florals: Refresh your style by wearing a floral cardi over a neutral shirt, paired with cropped wide-legged trousers in camel. And in balmy weather, opt for a light floral-print dress and biker boots.

Lors sugar's House of Lords speech.

Women in business

Lord Sugar has said laws preventing a potential employer enquiring about a female interviewee's childcare arrangements are "counter-productive".The Amstrad founder, whose annual hunt for an apprentice is televised on BBC1, said women should be "bold and upfront" and declare their status regarding children - "and then focus on the most important thing: to explain what skills they can bring to the company and why they should be employed".

Without women talking clearly about their childcare or any intention to have children, interviews had become a "psychological charade".

The Labour peer was speaking in the House of Lords on Lord Davies' report on representation of women in boardrooms.

He told peers that expressing his views on the interview process could create "a bit of sensitivity".

"It tends to spark off a knee-jerk reaction amongst certain women who don't seem to hear - or want to hear - what I'm saying."

He added: "I for one would be very impressed with a person who settled this matter at the outset, telling me how they're going to organise their life in order to do their job; how important the job is to them and what they're going to bring to the party.

"Such people would jump up in my estimation."

Lord Sugar said he had had the "good fortune" to employ a number of women in senior roles.

"I have to say that I've found women in business to be very focused, determined and ambitious.

"Indeed in top management positions, they seem to place no importance on ego building, but simply get on with the job in a very efficient manner."

Can Lord Sugar steer the much-delayed YouView video-on-demand project to success?Lord Alan Sugar has been appointed non-executive chairman of long-delayed Internet TV project YouView with immediate effect, replacing former head Kip Meek.“It has been apparent for some time that the YouView board would benefit from additional expertise in consumer marketing and technology delivery. Lord Sugar supplies this,” said departing Meek, who had been in the job for less than eight months.

Formerly known as Project Canvas, YouViewis an Internet-connected television platform owned by four broadcasters – the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five -  along with communications companies  Arqiva, BT and Talk Talk.

The project was initially set to launch in 2010, as a hardware-assisted, more open successor to the BBC’s iPlayer video-on-demand application. However, it was pushed back to 2011 before getting postponed again until 2012.

YouView unlikely to be successful

Given these delays, media analysts have expressed concerns over YouView’s credibility and future success. It has also faced criticism from the Digital TV Group (DTG) – the industry body responsible for the technical development of UK digital terrestrial television.

Last year, DTG lodged a complaint with the BBC Trust, claiming the project had not taken the views of all the industry stakeholders into consideration, and would therefore be unable to produce an open, industry-wide technology standard which all members can work to.

Moreover, the chance for YouView to be successful will be very slim if it fails to launch before the Olympics, according to Ian Maude, head of Internet at Enders Analysis.

“The later YouView leaves it to launch, the market opportunity will shrink, with consumer demand being soaked up by other services and web TV applications,” said Maude.

Lord Sugar brings sweetness and light

However, with Lord Sugar at the helm, YouView’s backers seem to be more optimistic about the venture, which they believe will introduce “a new, enhanced television experience to homes across the UK”.

“Lord Sugar’s experience in delivering set top box technology to the consumer is unrivalled,” said Charles Dunstone, chairman of Talk Talk. Sugar’s Amstrad company, after its success with stereos and PCs, became a leader in satellite set-top boxes for Sky in the 1990s.

“As we move from the development to the delivery stage, I can’t think of anyone better placed to help bring YouView to market than Lord Sugar,” he added.

By connecting a YouView set-top box to TV aerial and broadband, viewers will be able to watch online content, such as BBC iPlayer or the ITV Player, on their TVs via a £200 set-top box connected to TV aerial and broadband Internet.

They will not have to pay any additional subscription for the content.
