THE HARD PART ABOUT SELLING AVON

1) IS AVON A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME?
- It can take up to 2-5 YEARS before you start to see your Avon business expand.
- You have to step out of your comfort zone ALL THE TIME if you want to be successful
- YOU CAN make money quickly but you have to WORK HARD to get there.
- Selling Avon as a “HOBBY” is only going to earn you “HOBBY” income

- If you were to open an ACTUAL STORE, would you not need supplies to make it functional?
- You DO NOT HAVE TO invest in SAMPLES, DEMOS, or even INVENTORY to grow your sales. ALL you need is the brochure with your information on it.
- Brochures are inexpensive. You can get a pack of 10 brochures for $6.00. They get cheaper as you buy more. SO if you order 100 brochures they cost about $21.00. Believe me, $21.00 is NOTHING compared to some other direct sales companies and their supplies. PLUS the more you sell, the more your commission will cover the cost of books.
- IT IS POSSIBLE to purchase supplies AND make a PROFIT, but you have to BUDGET correctly.
Chances are you are most likely going to run into more customers that either say they used to buy Avon or they haven’t seen an Avon brochure in a while. Even if you do get those that say they already have a rep, give them your information anyway. You never know because their current rep may quit and they will need someone NEW to buy from. Good thing they got your business card right?
4) HOW MUCH WORK IS NEEDED TO START GETTING THE MONEY I AM LOOKING TO MAKE?
Well, that all depends on how much work you are WILLING to put into the business. Now, granted if you have a full-time job and 2 kids, and are busy all the time, then I can understand how it can be a littler harder to fit your Avon business into your schedule, BUT you can still MAKE time. Spend at least an hour everyday working your business. If you can, spend a little more. It may take longer to see the fruits of your labor flourish, but in the end, would you rather be working that 9-5 job and counting the days until the weekend is here, OR would you rather be working your AVON business on your OWN time and taking time off when YOU need it.
Now if you are one of those people who have extra time on their hands, I sure do ENVY you! That means you have even MORE time to build your business up. Do different things everyday when you are building your business. Plan a day to toss brochures (See my other post about how to toss), schedule a time to do events, (see my post about events here.) or even tailgate (see my post about tailgating here.). You have the tools to work it, YOU just have to make it HAPPEN!

5) WHAT HAPPENS IF AVON RUNS OUT OF STOCK OF SOMETHING A CUSTOMER ORDERS OR THE PRODUCTS GET DAMAGED DURING DELIVERY?
Just call Avon and let them know the situation. Chances are they will resend your shipment of what was damaged at NO COST TO YOU! You may have to wait a few days, and if that means your customers have to wait, again offer a gift, discount, or money off with their next order and I promise you, your customers will continue to order from you; EVEN if damages or shortages occur!
