(This is the newsletter I send to my team members each campaign.)
Greetings
fellow Cloud Climbers! And haven't we had some beautiful cloudscapes to
enjoy this week? I'm always wanting to stop the car to take a picture
and often I do just that. I've got a Facebook friend who is a fellow
cloud lover and we share pictures with each other.
I hope you
have all received your C12 orders by now. I had forgotten about the
delay in delivery because of Memorial Day so I was surprised to see the
UPS truck zip right past my house on Friday. Of course, as soon as it
happened the reason came to my mind. I didn't get deliveries started
until yesterday, though, so I have quite a few to get done today and
tomorrow.
Top Ten in Sales for C12
1. Rene Parker PC
2. Darren Mannahan
3. Brenda Taylor
4. Mary Silcott
5. Kimberly Moore (NEW)
6. Susanne Walters PC
7. Steffanie Erdelt
8. Ruby Nunnery
9. Patsy Cloud
10. Gladys Faulk
Sales
have slowed down a little for most of you, as only the top eight of
those listed above had sales over $150. I imagine part of the problem is
the end of the school year activities for many people, including our
customers. I hope sales will pick up with this campaign, especially with
the need for Bug Guard as people start getting outdoors more.
Once again we had three Cloud Climbers with online sales at their eStores this past campaign, but it was a different three: Susanne Walters, Ashley Baldwin, and Benetta Staten.
Congratulations ladies! Keep promoting those websites, as there are
many people who simply prefer to order their products online these days,
even when they live in our local area. I was just emailing with one of
my own customers who lives in Madison but prefers to shop online for
direct delivery from Avon. People who choose direct delivery can request
that Avon send them a free brochure, but I still drop off an Avon book
now and then when I'm working in their area if they have not placed an
order in awhile.
Kimberly Moore earned a
bundle of samples for having $100 in orders during her first campaign in
the Hit 100! Challenge. She has also banked $20 as part of that
challenge. Keep up the good work, Kimberly!! You can earn again in C13 with another $100 in orders.
My
biggest challenge for this campaign has been that I am now eligible to
receive leads from ALMA and they have started coming faster than I
expected. Some days I will get two or three of them. So why is my team
not growing rapidly you may ask? Because most ALMA leads are from people
who are not genuinely interested in becoming Avon representatives. I hate to say that is the case, but it is what it is.
I think many of them are just "applying for jobs" with Avon as a way to
report to government agencies that they are applying for jobs and keep
benefits coming. Either that or they do it to try to beat the system in
some other way that I'm not aware of. Some of them will even pay the $15
and start themselves in business without ever having the intention to
even attempt to sell Avon products. I've done many appointments in
person through the years where I felt like I was probably wasting my
time, and many times I was right. One of the weirdest was appointing a
beautiful young girl who could have done great as a representative, but
she could not even give me a good address for products to be shipped to
as she was between residences, moving to another state, had no source of
income but still had just come from the nail salon to meet with me,
etc. Naturally, I was never to hear from her again and she never turned
in an order. That brings to mind several of the other "dud" appointments
I have done through the years. Oh, the stories I could tell. How about
the lady who kept her TV on loudly, answered the phone as we got
started, and told the person she was talking to "I'm here signing up for
this Mary Kay." Oh yeah, that happened. I knew that appointment was
going nowhere. ;)
However, every lead must be followed up on in
several ways and for several days before they can be either appointed,
self-appoint, or be reported as not interested. All of that takes time
and effort and I do it knowing that much of the time and effort is for
naught. BUT, our team will eventually end up with a few gems like all of
you great Cloud Climbers, so that is why I do what I do. :) :) In
fact, two of my ALMA leads did self appoint, and I'm happy to welcome Ashley Dominguez of Madison, Tenn., and Latisha Slack of
Nashville, Tenn., to our team. I'm working with both of them virtually
to help them get off to a great start with Avon. Ashley and Latisha, I
hope you are ready to work, because you can have fun while building a
good business if you have the desire to do so and will put forth the
required effort.
Susanne Walters
and I were supposed to have a vendor booth at the Simply Southern
Extravaganza
Hornets' Nest Market Place at Highland Rim Elementary School in
Fayetteville last Saturday, but the event was postponed due to rain that
was expected to come that day. I don't think it rained until about 5:00
that evening and that was a brief shower, but rain was predicted and
the call had to be made in advance, so there you go. We are to do it in
August now. If you know of any vendor events that are going on this
summer and you would like to have a booth at one just let me know. I
have the tent, tables, chairs, table covers, etc., and will work with
you. We can share the expense of the booth, and any recruits we got
would be yours. Recruits that you contact face to face are generally
likely to be good ones.If you still haven't visited my blog, I hope that you will go to www.cloudclimbingbeauty.com
and take a look. Strangely enough, most of the recent visitors to the
blog have been from the Ukraine. I understand they have Avon reps. in
the Ukraine, but I don't know why I'm getting viewers from there. Help
me build up my presence in the USofA by visiting the site if just for a
few moments! Thank you in
advance for your support. Do
you have any news to report that I can share with our team? I'll be
happy to report weddings, births, work promotions, good tips, anything
you want to celebrate. Give me content to help make these newsletters
interesting.
That's it for now. Have a great rest of the week.
Oh, and don't forget to watch the new installment of WebTV that you will
see on the YA homepage. Here's a great cloudscape with a few
motivational words for you.
Until next time,
Sandra Moore,
Cloud Climbers Unit Leader
