Top 5 Reasons for Quitting Avon

In speaking to ladies about Avon everywhere I go, I have crossed paths with many that have left Avon.  I have compiled a list of the top reasons for quitting and how to make sure you don't fall into any of these excuses.

1. You are your best customer.  Though it is really nice and convenient to purchase at a discount and have direct shipping, be careful.  I tell all of my team that before you make your own purchases, ask yourself this: "If I were buying from someone else or at the mall, would I spend that much?"  Don't fall into the trap of owing more money than you collected.

2.  No new customers.  In order to build your business, you must continually find new customers.  Every customer does not buy from every brochure.  Even if you sell to just friends and family, you can do incentives for referrals.  Referrals are a big part of any business.

3.  Missed Opportunities.  You must carry extra brochures everywhere you go and/or get email addresses.  Don't miss the opportunity to let everyone you know, you sell Avon.  That friend could tell another friend.  And so it grows.

4.  You don't advertise.  This doesn't mean full time advertisements in a fashion magazine.  Avon does that for us.  Advertising can be as simple as wearing a button or carrying an Avon bag.  This also includes not buying any brochures or not sending ebrochures to customers.  If everyone you know do not know you sell Avon, then you are not advertising yourself.

5.  Not using your upline.  Just like any other business or relationship, there are ups and downs.  When you are in a funk, who do you call?  Your team leader and district manager are here to help and encourage you.  We can share our experiences with you and give you ideas to push your business forward.

I can tell you from experience, I have been down this path before.  Many, many years ago, I was a representative and made Presidents Club status.  I left Avon for a mixture of the above and personal reasons.  I have returned because I did love selling Avon.  So many things have changed.  For one, the new improved discount structure that can have you making money sooner.  If you left Avon and have thought about returning, give me a call or email.  Let me show you how Avon can help you put a smile on your face and money in your pocket.
