F.A.Q

Do I have to invest in an inventory to run my business?


You can but what I tell all new representatives who are wanting to know How To Sell Avon is that it is better that you do not buy anything that your customers haven't ordered. If you do buy inventory before your customers order from you,only buy things when they are on sale and only buy things that your customers will most likely order.


What other items will I need to run my business?


You may want to invest in some basic office supplies, printer, ink, pens, paper, day planner. When you're on a low budget you can use box or cabinet to keep track of things you will need for preparing your income tax at the end of the year.


Does Avon give you business cards?


Avon does sell business cards but you will have to write your name and number on them yourself. You can get free business cards online.
I got my cards from VistaPrint.com.


How do I run my Avon business?


First thing I tell all new Avon representatives explore your back office get comfortable with using the website. Read through any training documents on the site. You will receive at least 10 brochures for the first one or two campaigns at your sign up appointment. You have to Write your contact information on each brochure before you hand them out. You may get tired writing your name on every brochure so you could use small address labels from the dollar store or buy a customized stamp. Some people put the order due dates and website on the back of brochures, you can decide what you want to do with them.


When you receive your products from Avon be sure to check that everything you ordered is there. Check your invoice for shorted items.
If you see the shorted items are just late and will come in with your next order, you should contact the customer and see if they would like to pay for it now or later once the order arrives.



Do I have to be on every meeting?
No you do not have to but there are regular local call ins that you will be welcome to attend, those are nice get togethers where you can meet up with Avons local managers, reps & sales leaders. They offer support, training and great ideas on how to grow your business.


I just want to sell for few months can I quit any time?
Yes you can, you just need to contact your sales leader & inform her/him that you want to quit.


Whats the difference between becoming a rep and a sales leader?
When you join as an Avon Rep, this means you will be just finding and serving your own customer & earning a commission of their orders that you place. When you join as a sales leader this means you recruit, train & couch people to become Avon reps, they earn their commissions and you will also earn a life long commission from their orders to.


Do I have to pay for deliveries or returns?
No, all on time orders are delivered to your preferred location FREE of charge & your returns are simply passed to your delivery driver to take back to Avon.


Can I return a used product?
Yes, Avon has a 100% money back guarantee for you & your customers. When you take a product from a customer for whatever reason you can give them their money back on the doorstep & take the cost of the product to you OFF what you owe Avon.

How To Sell Avon Successfully In Recession

A lot of individuals wonder How To Sell Avon Successfully especially in the type of economy we are in now. The answer to this question would depend on each individual though it is still possible to sell even in a recession. However, there are certain models that can guide people especially those who are in sales.

Saving Dreams: People are advised not to give up on their dreams because it will propel them to achieve their goals and they will have the chance to overcome any of the things that may hinder them in their journey to success. But people need to act on their dreams. They need to work to have it realized. They must be confidant to achieve their goals. Sales people need to remember that their goals should be something positive, current, measurable, specific as well as attainable.

Knowing the product and being the best at it: Sellers are supposed to be the experts about their products. Today's competition is very stiff and only the finest will survive so sales people need to know everything about their products or the services that they are offering aside from knowing what their business is all about and who are their greatest competitors.

Specifying the niche and concentrating on it: It is important for sales people to have the ability to focus or to concentrate on their careers and take it as a profession just like entrepreneurs or business executives.

Investing in Marketing Personnel: Studies indicate that the initial impression is essential in as much as training and work experience are needed in order to be successful in selling so the visual presentation of the personality of the sellers may spell interest at the first stage. Women though, are advised to focus on their products or their services and not on their impressive cleavages. Anything you need to learn about how to sell Avon successfully can be found In this guide here. I very highly recommend if you're serious about this business.

Selling by the volume: Sales people would definitely like to increase their sales margins. This may be possible if they also add more people in their list to contact and to visit. The next thing for them to do is to learn how to close more deals. They must also learn how to make their own records and see the areas where they need to improve.

Understanding Customers that they are people too. Excellent sales people love to be with people and they also believe that their customer's needs are important therefore, they need to communicate well at the same time listen to what they are telling. They must ask them all possible questions to meet their needs. It is better to focus on the customer's needs first before making the sale.

    I'm a new Avon rep myself. You say delivery charges(shipping and handling) is free. But I was told whenever you place an order now, there will be a one time simple fee. It's on the Avon site as well. Is that for when you place an order late, or is it just for every order?
  • Anna B Feb 4, 2012 @ 9:57 pm | delete
    It is for very order. Charges range from $5.95 to $10.95 depending on order size. This change was made in campaign 19 last year.
