*Direct Delivery (DD) website orders earn 20% (unless there is a special promo that Avon is running at the time for you to earn more on them, then DD orders are at whatever the promotion is that is listed for the campaigns listed).

5. Avon’s Selling Cycle Prepare Catalogs, Flyers, Etc.
Prospect for
Recruits/Customers.
Demonstrate, Sell,
Pass out Catalogs &
Collect Payments
Please note: Due to so many people leaving Avon with bad debt over the years, Avon is phasing out issuing credit lines… therefore you will want to collect payments from your customers up front when they place their order with you, so that you can use their money to pay Avon when you place the order with Avon. When taking the order in person, it’s easy enough to collect on the spot. When taking the order by phone, an easy way is to collect is to say: “What address can I send your PayPal Invoice to for payment?”. Every other company collects payments at the time the order is placed, so this is not an issue. It is actually much BETTER because we no longer run into customers ordering, then not having the money to pay when it comes in. 
Deliver Orders
Submit order &
pay for your ‘estimated
order total’ at
Receive your
Order & pay any remaining
amount shown on invoice that may be
due after adjustments. The rest that
you collected is your profit! 

CHEAP ADVERTISING
Car Magnets, Business Cards, and Post Cards
Check out Vistaprint.com for all your advertising needs on a budget

13. EMAILS & Text are VALUABLE
Don’t send “junk” to your customers 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 s 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.

14. 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 your invoice and billing questions.

15. Don’t be stingy with your catalogs or samples.

Don’t be stingy with your catalogs or samples.
These are your best advertisement!

Basically; every where, every time, Always Ask! I prefer to offer the Opportunity First, then Sales.

16. RECRUITING:
By recruiting other new representatives into Avon, you can earn even more with Avon. Once you title “Unit Leader” you will begin earning a percentage of your teams sales! You don’t want to wait to start recruiting. If you wait, you are leaving money on the table because you will miss your chance to earn some additional bonus money through the new “Jump Start” bonus program. If you make “Unit Leader” within your 1st 8 campaigns of being a representative then you will earn an additional $250 BONUS! There are other bonuses as well. Check out the JumpStart flyer under the “Sales Leadership” tab at youravon.com for more details.
Put your name on EVERYTHING!!! Also, be sure to put your website on EVERYTHING too… including your signature line in ALL outgoing s, and in your signature line in discussion forums/groups.
Be CONSISTANT – People may be using up current inventory before buying. Always be consistent with getting your brochures out, and be certain to follow up with every brochure that you give out! 

22. When entering prices on-line they will appear wrong when there are specials. This will correct itself on your invoice that AVON puts on-line and sends with your order.
Back Order
No Longer Available

23. 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

24. 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.

25. 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 time before ordering your next campaign
Order on time and EVERY campaign. If there is a campaign in which you have no orders, you will still NEED 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 every order INCLUDING your 1st order.
