New Representative Instructions

New Representative Instructions

Welcome to Avon!  Here are just a few instructions that may help you as you start off on your new Avon adventure!

Our sales team is called the “Karen's Skyscrapers Team”.  Although you will own and operate your own business, it is often helpful to have a group of people who are working towards the same goals. We are here to help each other, offer support and advice, and to cheer on each other’s accomplishments!  With that said, welcome to our team!

You are on my team email lists and you will receive several emails from me.  I purposely try not to bombard you with email, so please take time to read what I do send to you.

Team Website – please check our team website for valuable information and updates. 

Team Facebook Group – search “Avon Dream Team” on Facebook and request to join.  This is a great place to connect with our teammates and get to know each other!

Organization – I would like to emphasize that although this may all seem a little overwhelming at first, it gets much easier as you go along.  Being organized is the key to success.  It is important to keep track of dates, your customers, and your campaigns.  You CAN do this!

Goal Setting – You need to set goals for yourself for each and every campaign. If you don’t have something to aim for, you won’t know when you’ve reached it!  I believe in goals and will do what I can to help you to achieve yours!  It is easy to set dollar amount goals, number of customers served goals, or number of new customers goals.

Read Everything! – I strongly encourage you to read and re-read all of the information that Avon gives to you.  Avon is a great way to bring in extra income and the plan is easy to follow.  Take the time to look through the materials in your kit and use them as a reference.  There are great ideas, organizational tools, and reference materials for your use!

The Avon Cycle – It is important to keep up with the Avon sales cycle.  Each campaign runs for a two week period.  Order deadlines are based on your zip code, so you may be on a different schedule than the rest of our team.  Be sure to keep a copy of your selling calendar handy so that you will know when your orders are due.  If you submit your order on-line, it will be due by Noon.  When your order is delivered to you, it is your responsibility to divide the orders for your customers, deliver them, and collect the payments.  The cycle then starts over and it will be time to start placing your next order.

The Website – you will conduct almost all of your Avon business via the Internet.  The web address is www.youravon.com.  You can place your order, look at product resource guides, manage your customers, and do a number of other things on this website.  Here are the instructions for logging on the first time.

1. Go to www.youravon.com
2. Look on the right hand side of the screen and click the “Register Now” button
3. Your district number is ________
4. Enter your account number.  You will find it on the top of your contract. __________
5. Your temporary password is the last four digits of your social security number.  Enter it and then set up a new password.
6. You should be ready to go!

Personal Customer Website – Every Avon Representative can have a personal website, known as an “e-store”.  This is a place where you can send your customers to shop online.  When they check out, they can either choose “Representative Delivery” and have you deliver their order to them, or they can choose “Direct Delivery” and have Avon ship directly to them.  If their order is at least $30, Avon will ship it for free!  You will earn 20% – 40% commission on your online direct delivery orders depending on the number of e-customers you service each campaign.  Your e-rep site will have an address similar to this – http://www.youravon.com/valdosta.  That is the website you will promote to your customers.
Website Training – I recommend watching the “Getting Started on youravon.com” (20 minutes) and “Online Orders” (25 minutes).  They are basic introductions with lots of information.  You can find them under the “Training” tab.
What can I order? – you can order from the current campaign catalog, plus the past two.  For example, if you are starting in C-10, you can still order from the C-8 and C-9 books.
Placing an order on-line – You can start an order online at any time during your campaign and then come back to it at a later time.

• Just an FYI about prices.  The prices listed are not always the lowest price from the past 3 campaigns.  You can do a “product search” and see all of the prices from the 3 campaigns. However, don’t automatically click the lowest price shown and assume that you will be able to buy it for that price. Sometimes the prices listed are for if you buy certain quantities or certain things. For example…it might have a lipstick that is $8.50 in C-10, $1.99 in C-9, and $3.99 in C-8. The $8.50 is probably the regular price and it wasn’t on sale during that campaign. The $1.99 might be buy one get one for $1.99 (meaning that you would have to order two of them or else you would be charged $8.50 when it actually billed). The $3.99 is actually the best price in this case, although it doesn’t seem like it when you just see the prices listed there.
• One Simple Fee – you will be charged a fee for each order that you place.  An on time order will be charged $5.95 – $10.95 depending on the size of your order.
• You can submit ONE order per campaign on your order due date.  If you submit an additional order, you will be charged the One Simple Fee plus $4 for each Ship Separate order or additional order that you submit.

Your earnings –

• For your first four campaigns, you will earn 40% commission as long as your order is at least $50. Some items, those marked with an asterisk in the catalog, are fixed commission items and you will earn only 20%.  Most of the shoes, purses, watches, etc. fall into this 20% bracket.  If you miss placing an order during your first four consecutive campaigns, you will miss the opportunity to earn 40% on that order.
• After your first four campaigns, your commission will be based on the size of your order.  See the chart inside of your instruction folder for details.

Collecting Payments from customers – How your customers pay for their orders is up to you.  You may want to take a deposit up front, especially if you don’t know the customer very well or if you are afraid that they might not pay you when their order arrives.  The best practice is to collect payments up front so that you are never “chasing your money”.  I accept cash, checks, and credit cards.  There are free credit card forms available for you to use when a customer wants to pay by credit card.  To accept a customer credit card, use the form and follow these instructions.

• Fill out the form with all information
• Call the 800 number listed on the inside cover of the form (1-800-782-7585)
• Submit the information over the telephone to Avon
• Write down the approval code onto the form
• Tear off the front white copy and mail it to Avon.  You will not get a credit on your account until Avon receives this copy and has time to process it.  It usually takes about a week.
• NOTE – this is not how you would pay Avon from your credit or debit card!

Paying Avon –

• Depending on your credit limit, you may or may not need to pay a deposit when you place your order to Avon.  Please collect payments up front from your customers so that you will have the money needed to pay Avon when you place your order.
• After you are an established Avon representative, Avon may ship your orders to you on credit, as long as your balance is $0 when you submit your orders.  If you have any balance at all (even $0.02), then your order will be put on hold until your balance is paid in full.  Make sure that your balance is $0 when submitting your next order to avoid any delays in shipment.
• You have four options when paying your Avon invoices

1. Sign up for QuikPay.  This is an on-line payment program that is connected directly to your checking or savings account.  It is a draft system where you enter your information and Avon drafts your account when you are ready to pay for your orders. (Note – it does not automatically pay your bill for you…you still have to physically go in and tell it to draft your account for the payment).
2. You can pay by personal credit or debit card online.  It will also accept pre-paid Visa cards that you can buy at Walgreens and other similar places.
3. Mail in a check or money order.  This works fine, but you have to depend on the mail system.  If you are going to pay by check or money order, I would suggest sending in the payment as soon as you receive your order.  This will give Avon about a week to get it processed before your next order is due.  The down side to this is that you will have to send in your payment before you have had time to deliver your orders and collect money from your customers.  If possible, do not use this method of payment. It is SLOW and may cause a delay in the shipment of your orders.
4. You can pay by personal credit or debit card over the phone.  This is the method that I use and I think that it works great.  You can pay your balance right before your next order is due, plus you have time to collect your money before your credit card bill arrives.  Here are the instructions for this…

1. Call 1-513-551-2866 (Fast Talk number)

2. Enter your account #

3. It will say, “Is this (your name)?” Say “yes”. It will take you to the main                     menu

4. Say “Make a Payment”

5. Follow the instructions for making a payment to your personal credit or                          debit card.

Catalogs –

• You will order catalogs every campaign.  They come out two campaigns ahead (for example, in campaign 10 you will order campaign 12 books).  The more that you order, the cheaper that they are.  It is important to have lots of catalogs on hand because the more that you give out, the more potential customers that you will reach.  I encourage you not to over order, but not to under order either.  Try ordering a lot in the beginning while you are trying to build your customer base and give them out to everyone that you meet.  You never know who might be looking for a new Avon store!
• Mark Magalogs, Outlet Catalogs, Men’s Brochures, Tiny Tillia – it is up to you if you want to invest in these catalogs.  If you order Mark products, they will send you 5 Magalogs for free. You will get one Outlet for free each campaign.  Usually, they will send you some Men’s brochures for free too.  To order any of this type of catalog, click on “shop catalogs” at the left of your on-line order form.  Then choose what you would like to order.
• A great way to mail brochures to customers is to use an affordable service called Campaign Mailer.  The prices include the brochure and postage.  Here is a website for more information: http://www.campaignmailer.net.
• Keep in mind that every brochure is a potential customer.  Never throw a brochure away!  The more you give out, the more customers you can serve!

Business Tools – For your first few orders, you will need to buy some supplies.  I would recommend the following items (to find them on-line, go to your order form and click “Shop Sales Tools” from the menu on the left. Click on the “Business tools” tab and you should be able to find all of the following items.

• Order books (get 1 or 2.  These are the carbon order books) – free
• Credit Card forms (5-10.  These are to use when your customers want to pay by credit card) – free
• 10 lb. Delivery bags – LARGE POPCORN BAGS.
• Plastic Brochure Cover – I have four of these that I use for MY catalogs.  It helps to have a book that I can write in, put tabs on the pages, etc. and it is protected by the plastic cover.  I reuse the same covers over and over.
• Samples – it is good to have fragrance samples and Anew samples on hand, but only if you want to.  Customers will usually ask for specific things and you can just buy them as needed.  I put a sample into every customer delivery bag.  People like free stuff.  This is important!

Commonly Used #’s for Business Tools

1.  Clear Literature Bags – 058-433  50bags/0.80cents
This is the Avon bag with the hole cut out for a door knob for when you walk your books It can also be used if you toss books on driveways. Just place your brochure in sideways and tuck the unused portion of the bag into the middle of the book – your book now looks laminated and will slide up a driveway when tossed out a car window. The plastic also keeps the book dry around sprinklers.  To find these bags look under sales tools and then Business tools.
2.  Order Book – 347-802 (English) or 347-817 (Spanish)   FREE – No Limit – Order what you need!
This is the book that comes with the carbon paper in the back that can be used when you take orders from customers. These can be found under sales tools, then Business tools Supplies. Note – You can also purchase a Hard pink cover that the order books fits into if you wish to look more professional – 129-842  
3.  Delivery Bags  (This list needs to be updated, but Avon is still making changes)

Small Popcorn	Our smallest bag, for jewelry or small lightweight items (almost useless)	951-136  50 bags / 0.95 cents
Large Popcorn	Our most used size – 10 lb. paper bag	951-140  50 bags / $1.25
Paper Shopping Bag – XL	Large tote bag with handles – great for Christmas, shoes, big orders!	951-121  10 bags /$2.95
Paper Shopping Bag – Lg.	Large tote bag with handles – great for Christmas, shoes, big orders!	951-102  10 bags / $2.55
Paper Shopping Bag – Md.	Holds a little more than the large popcorn bag, but has handles and looks like a gift bag.	951-098  10 bags / $2.25

4. LEADERSHIP TOOLS

Appointment Kit	This is the kit you use to sign-up new Reps $10 ea	English 676-984	Spanish 676-999
Brochures + 3	These are for building your future kits – These brochures are 3 campaigns ahead	English 147-241	Spanish 132-720

5. SHOP CATALOGS – (Mark Magalog – Outlets!)
This link is located UNDER the Shop Sales Tools link. This is where you can find and purchase all of the “additional” brochures like Mark Magalogs, Outlet, Beauty on a Budget, etc.
Taxes – Keep a record of all of your expenses because they are tax deductible.  This includes what you pay for catalogs, demos, samples, processing fees, etc.  It also includes expenses such as mileage for deliveries and handing out books, a percentage of your internet fees, cell phone, computer ink, computer paper, postage, etc.  Anything that you use for your business, make sure that you keep a record of it for tax purposes.  I encourage you to keep up with your income throughout the year so that it doesn’t become overwhelming during tax time every year.
What’s New Catalog – you will get a What’s New catalog every campaign.  They feature new items that Avon will be introducing in future campaigns, as well as some of the more popular products that are going to be on sale.  The products in the What’s New catalog are discounted 40% (25% on fixed earnings items).  However, as a non-President’s Club member, you can only order ONE of each item at this price.  You can order one per campaign as long as the catalog is valid (and you can backorder from it).
President’s Club – THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!  YOU WANT TO MAKE PC!!! After you sell $10,100 in Avon products within the year selling cycle (C-8 through C-7 of the following year), you will become a member of Avon’s President’s Club.  As a member, you will receive guaranteed commission of 40% (and 25% on fixed earnings items) no matter what the size of your orders, plus you will be able to order 3 demos from the What’s New Catalog instead of only one.  You will get special gifts throughout the year plus a toll-free number to call when you need assistance.  There are other benefits to becoming a member of the President’s Club, so make it your goal to achieve this during your first year!
Leadership Opportunity – Who do you know that could use additional income?  The fastest way to maximize your earnings with your new Avon business is by sharing it with everyone you know.  When you recruit others to start an Avon business, you will be paid cash bonuses for helping them get started and residual income from them as they sell to their customers.  For example, you can earn $725 for bringing as few as five people to Avon and meeting certain sales goals!  Ask your upline for more details about how this works!
Don’t Give Up! – You are a brand new business owner.  You will have some learning to do and you will have some obstacles to overcome.  I’m an Avon success story.  I believe in the products, the people, and the opportunity.  I’m a stay-at-home mom because of Avon and I know that ANYONE can be successful in this business.  Do not make it harder than it needs to be.  Put brochures in people’s hands and ask them, “What can I get you from here?”  Follow up with people and build relationships with them.  Step out of your comfort zone a little and be willing to go the extra mile to provide excellent customer service.  Everyone you know and everyone that you meet uses products that they could buy from Avon (soap, shampoo, makeup, clothes, jewelry, skin care, etc.).  Decide what you want to accomplish with this business and DO IT!  I believe in YOU!
HELP – Above all else, ASK for help when you need it!  I’m here to help you build your business so that it is a life-long career for you to enjoy!  We are a team and I want you to be successful.  Please feel free to email me, text me, or phone me when needed and I will do what I can to help you any way possible! Here is a list of numbers to use as well.

 Your Now an AVON Representative  - Now What?
In order to achieve the success you desire you need first to understand that this is a business. You are the captain of your ship, the rewards are directly associated with your effort. You must be knowledgeable about the Avon product line (be patient but do make an effort to learn what it is you'll be selling).
Your Reason

Don't forget why you started your business, in order for you to succeed your going to have to work at it. There will be nobody pushing you and yes its easy to get side tracked. Keep your dreams alive by putting them somewhere where you'll see them every day (often every day - like the refrigerator) more on motivation is avail under article and videos.
Open A Separate Bank Account
Don't mix your Avon business money with your personal accounts. It's too easy to get off track and tap into the money you should be devoting to paying your Avon bill. Also when you allow others access they may inadvertently spend money that you have earmarked as business expense. Keep it simple get a separate account.
Build the list
Who is number one on the list - you of course! Change your buying habits, if you can buy it from yourself do it. Think of upcoming birthdays, Christmas or any occasion where you can purchase your own products.
*Family both local and long distance.
*Friends again both local and long distance.
*Acquaintances you meet on a regular basis (hairdresser, receptionist at the doctors office,  cashiers, pharmacy the grocery store, think about where you go on your normal travels and write it down, you need not know the name just who they are.
*Branch out - other Dr's offices, dentist, real estate, library, (open the phone book and scan local business where other Ladies work and add that business to the list - be creative, the bigger the list the better).

Educate Yourself
The more knowledgeable you are the better prepared you'll be to answer questions your customers may ask.  The fact that you are now reading this is a good start. Avon provided valuable information in your sign up kit, read it over, if you have any questions ask the Representative that signed you or your District Manager she is there to help). Please dont hesitate to call  or email your upline if you need help. We dont know you need it unless your asking.  Be respectful though, jot your questions down first. Many of the questions you have will be answered if you do the research yourself, get into the habit of seeking out answers. If all else fails ASK AVON  ( Handy Phone List here).  Aside from the wonderful AVON training on our Youravon.com - Training- Pathways.  You now have the additional support on this team site.  We have Articles, Videos, Links, forum, Live chat and more. This will be a great place to further your knowledge of the business.. Remember though that knowledge is power! you absolutely need it, the time will come when you'll have to pass it on.
Dress The Part
Your not an Avon Lady - YOU ARE THE AVON LADY.
So what does she look like? How does she dress? What shoes will she wear while she's Avoning? In other words your selling makeup you need to look good, Sunday best good, you have only one chance to make a good impression. (you may think this is a no brainer but you would be surprised at how many Ladies don't get it). Use the products,lipstick, perfume etc. others will be asking about the shade of lipstick, what perfume your wearing and so on. You are now a business woman - much of that is based on perception - so how will you be perceived?
Business Cards and Brochures
 You can print up your own on the computer or go to the VISTAPRINT and get 250 card for just $5.95 shipping.  You do need to know however that they will at first be the most affordable way for you to get the word out there about your new business. You will want a good supply of both (you only got 10 brochures in your sign up kit),  I find that having reps order  no less than 30 to start but 50 is the best deal to get going at $14.69 from ordering only 10 at  $6.29 its the better value.  Order in blocks of ten and keep adding. If within the first few months your ordering 50 -60 brochures and getting them out there your doing good.

  Samples
You received  a box samples in your appointment kit. You will  of course need more as you place orders, you can get with your upline leader and ask her advice as which ones would be best for you to order and have her point out where they are on site for you to look over. The reason I say ask your upline is because trends come and go, some items are also more popular in different parts of the country, she should be able to point you in the right direction. If you call into our conference calls or  watch our informational videos we usually discuss the next campaign and what will be a hot item to have available for sampling. I find that ordering what you need each order each campaign is the best bet for new people just getting started. No need to order ALL the samples we carry. Order only what you need at first. Then you can expand to have favorites on hand.
