~~ Be your best customer/demonstrator ~~

When you wear and use the products you will best be able to share with your customer's and

sales team how the products work.

Also, invest time in learning. Once you have completed the two courses that I recommended that

you take first, take the other courses in your free time to learn more about selling and recommending products as well as to learn how to build and train a team of your own, so that you can earn even more

through our “Leadership” program.

EMAILS & Text are VALUABLE

Don’t send “junk” to your customers email addresses. If you send junk, then your customers will stop reading ANY of

your messages. Use it only for AVON communication. I prefer to use Avon

forwardable emails in our WebOffice at youravon.com

Text is also a good source of communicating these days; always ask the customer which 2 forms of contact that they prefer in following

up with your order.

Items in the brochure marked with a Bold Diamond symbol are 20% Fixed Earnings. To see what the symbol looks like, look at any piece of

clothing or shoes in any brochure. President’s Club Members and above sales achievers (Those who sell over $10,000 in the Presidents

Club Cycle- One year) earn 25% on fixed priced items.

Customer Service phone numbers are different for each branch. Find yours by clicking on the “profile” link at the very top of each page at youravon.com, then click

on the “Support Information” tab. Your District Manager’s information is listed there, as well as your sponsor’s information, and all of your other support

numbers including customer service.

Contact customer service for the following: to order by “Fast Talk” over the phone rather than online; to pay by phone rather than online; or for general questions about

Avon Fees (Business Costs… tax deductible)

AVON charges One simple fee each campaign. This covers shipping for one regular On-time order and also includes your website. Collect the $.75 per customer, as recommended on

your order forms to help you deflect some of this small expense. One simple fee varies depending on order size each

campaign, but it is very reasonable.

Brochures and Samples (cost depends on quantity)

Controllable Costs

* Late Order Fee- Your “One simple fee” is $4.00 higher when your order is placed late. This is because your order misses the delivery truck to your area, so they have to send a separate shipment.

* Add-On Order Fee (Additional Order-same campaign)- Fee Depends on Order size, but not less than $9.95

* Returns- Shipping Depends on Weight and Reason for Return

Page 24: WELCOME TO AVON. You’re in business for yourself, But not by yourself.

Customer Payments

You choose to accept any forms of payment you wish, however Avon can only accept

payments from you.

If a customer’s check bounces – It your responsibility, not Avon’s; I Personally only accept checks from family and

long time customers (people you trust).

You can accept credit cards using Avon’s credit card slips (FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS on the slips EXACLTLY).

OR…

If you have a smart phone, such as Iphone; there are some free App’s out there for accepting credit cards. One

is called Square, Setup your account; and you will be shipped a reader. You could also use a “PayPal Now”

reader. These readers will allow you to accept credit cards and will deposit the money into your account.

Page 25: WELCOME TO AVON. You’re in business for yourself, But not by yourself.

Ordering Tips:

You can order from your current campaign + you may order from 2 campaigns back

Only order 1 time every campaign to avoid multiple order charges. You can backorder an item by using the little drop down just to the left of where you enter the item number when you are in the online order form (as indicated

on the slide that shows the online order form). This way, you can order from multiple campaigns on the SAME order form.

Pay attention to your Mailplan Calendar,(This located under campaign planning tab) and place your orders on time.

Pay your bill on timePay your bill on time before ordering your next campaignbefore ordering your next campaign

Order on time and EVERY campaign. If there is a campaign in which you have no orders, you will still NEEDNEED to place an order for brochures & Sales

Tools so that you will be in business for that campaign (when ordering books you are ordering for 2 campaigns ahead). Example: when placing your

campaign 14 order, you are ordering campaign 16 brochures.

Use AVON Delivery bags (available to order under “sales tools”) to deliver customer orders (when possible). Use plastic “Literature” bags for

canvasing an area with brochures.

Make a checklist to avoid missing anything

DON’T FORGET TO ORDER BROCHURES!!! Order brochures with DON’T FORGET TO ORDER BROCHURES!!! Order brochures with every order INCLUDING your 1every order INCLUDING your 1stst order. order.
