C11 Cloud Climbers Avon Team Newsletter

(The newsletter for and about my wonderful team of Cloud Climbers!)


Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I had it on my calendar to write this newsletter this past Monday, so I'm only running a few days behind schedule rather than a few weeks, which I consider pretty good. ðŸ˜‰ I hope that you have a wonderful weekend and spend time relaxing and enjoying time with your family. If you are outside much, don't forget to bring your Bug Guard Expedition (if you are out all day and in the sun) or Bug Guard Picaridin (if you are only out at dusk). 

Top 10 in Sales for C11

 1. Alisha Edwards
 2. Jennifer Killian
 3. Gladys Faulk
 4. Rene Parker  PC
 5. Steffanie Erdelt
 6. Susan Watkins
 7. Nicole Darby
 8. Ruby Nunnery
 9. Carolyn King
10. Ashleigh Downey

It is exciting to look at the reports and see all the people who are getting eStore orders now. It's exciting because I know that these orders are earning you the same amount as your regular orders without you having to take the orders and deliver them. Easy money for us all, except I know we are all putting work into building those orders through social media and other ways. ðŸ˜Š Those with eStore orders this campaign were: Barbie BreenAshleigh DowneyAyanna MastonJennifer KillianApril MooreJamie Trannon, and Virginia Washington. We have had 22 Cloud Climbers with eStore Direct Delivery orders since the beginning of the year. Do you know what that means? It means that 42 Cloud Climbers have NOT had any eStore orders yet this year. WHAT?!? If you are one of the 42, for your own sake I hope that you will do a few things to try to remedy that situation. I know I have made suggestions in the past, but here are some of the best ones again:
  • Put a link to your eStore in your email signature so that it goes out every time you send someone an email.
  • Put that same link in your Facebook personal page "About" section.
  • Post that link to your Facebook page now and then and even ask your friends to share the post to help you out. 
  • If you have business cards printed, always add the link to them.
  • Put the link on labels on your brochures, or just write the end of the link on your brochures. You have probably seen that Avon has provided the first part of your URL printed on the brochure for you, so it is easy to add the ending.
  • Put the link in your email reminder to your customers each campaign.
  • Make sure that you tell people you know that they can order for direct delivery if they prefer, even if they live close enough for you to deliver to them.
  • Tell everyone that they can get 10% off of one order at the eStore using the code WELCOME10.
Can those of you who have had eStore sales think of other ways to promote your eStore? If you can, please share them with me so I can send them out to the whole team and we can help each other.

I added an album of pictures you can use in your business to our Cloud Climbers Facebook team page, so take at look at those if you haven't done so yet. Jennifer Killian, one of our newest team members, has been communicating with me a lot lately and that led to creating that album. You see, when you talk to me it helps me to know how I can help you and by her asking me a question about her business I realized that I needed to create that album. I'll be adding more pictures to it as I have time. Speaking of Jennifer, I am putting her...

In the Spotlight this campaign: Jennifer Killian. Jennifer joined Avon just a few weeks ago and has already had two good orders. She has four children - twin girls Kendra and Kayla who will be high school seniors this fall, a nine year old son named Kalob who lives with his dad, and a seven year old daughter named Katie. In addition she has a five year old stepson named Tanner and a six year old stepdaughter name Katlyn who she says are "mine...I just didn't give birth to them."  She has a full time job working on an assembly line with three other women at a manufacturing plant for Honda and Volkswagen parts and in October she will celebrate five years of working there. Currently she is on FMLA because of having surgery on her foot for a fracture. Her schedule is very busy due to tee ball an softball activities with her little girls and her husband, who plays softball on his company team at her encouragement. She decided she wanted to do a little extra something for her family and choose to start an Avon business. They took on the task of remodeling the deck around their in-ground pool and it was a costly project that Avon helped to finish in the end. They have a big garden with lots of okra and she plans to do canning for next winter. Jennifer is loving her new Avon business and is taking time while she is off work to learn more by taking training at Avon University and says "It takes time to move up and increase sales and customers and I'm going to put all the effort I can into making a business out of my home with selling Avon." Thanks so much for the information, Jennifer! I know she plans to also work with Avon Leadership and hopes to have her team started soon.  

I hit President's Club this campaign (Yay!) with $10,000 in sales so far this year. The following people will also hit PC later this year if they stay as active as they have been so far: Steffanie Erdelt, Rene Parker, Alisha Edwards. Way to go, ladies!! We are less than halfway through the year, so there is plenty of time for more of you to push to the top as well. This pic shows the benefits for reaching that goal.




That's all I've got for now, because I have an order to sort and many other items to try to get done today. So much to do, so little time! ðŸ˜Š I'm sure all of you feel that same way if you are working hard on your businesses.

Monday Must Haves!

Well, it's another Monday morning and time to get back to work after a nice weekend of family time with my mama and my mother-in-law. It is a blessing to be able to still spend time with them, as they are both in their 80s now. I hope all you mamas out there were able to spend time with your children and that your children showed their appreciation for all that you have done and continue to do for them.

https://www.avon.com/products/productline/853?s=AVAT051517K&c=EmailREP&repid=40613880&rep=smoore


Skin care and makeup are just a couple of the things that interest this mama, and I know many other mamas spend at least a little time concerning themselves with such things as well. :)  Here are a few products in those categories that our Avon customers have given high marks to. 

https://www.avon.com/product/avon-true-color-8-in-1-eyeshadow-palette-57714?rep=smoore

https://www.avon.com/product/avon-true-color-pro-nail-enamel-57674?rep=smoore

Do these products appeal to you? Do you think they would appeal to your friends and family members? You can give them as gifts, or.... you can sell them yourself! To learn more about the Avon Opportunity, contact me or simply go here. Be sure to use my reference code SMOORE when you self-appoint so that you will be added to my team and I can mentor you to a successful Avon business!

Campaign 10 Cloud Climbers Unit Newsletter

(My report to my downline team. If you would like to be mentioned in a future newsletter, here's what you need to do: Go to startavon.com and pick your kit, using the reference code smoore where it is requested.)

 Greetings, Cloud Climbers!


Rene Parker and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the President's Club Luncheon yesterday. I hope that more of you will be able to join us and be honored for your sales achievements next year. Remember, there are more benefits than just the luncheon to being a PC member, the most important of them being a guaranteed 40% in earnings on all core brochure products and 25% on the fashion and home products for the next year, even if you have smaller orders for some campaigns. You will also be able to earn 45% to 50% if you have large orders, which you cannot do now if you are not in PC. I've posted some pictures from the event on our Cloud Climbers FB page, so be sure to take a look.


This campaign was a bit of a slow one, order wise, for me. I'm happy to see that it was not that way for many of you, because nine of the top ten in sales had orders over $150. Yay!


Top Ten in Sales for C10


 1. Jennifer Killian  NEW
 2. Steffanie Erdelt
 3. Barbie Breen
 4. Judith Lea
 5. Rene Parker  PC
 6. Rosanna Cassidy
 7. Lydia Lopez
 8. Rebecca Rains
 9. Gladys Faulk
10. Lisa Anderson


New additions to our team this campaign were Cristine Weis of Madison, AL, Tammie Warren of Higdon, AL, and Melanie Hamilton of Lebanon, TN. Welcome to the Cloud Climbers team, ladies! I pray you will have much success with your business. You can't be a failure if you 1) work hard, 2) give your business time to build, and 3) don't spend your earnings before you have paid Avon! Those are my three best tips for new Avon Representatives. 😊




I get very excited when I see that eStore sales are building for our team and I'm seeing it a lot lately. In fact, at the PC Tribute for District 1139 yesterday, Rene Parker and I both saw our names on the board for having high eStore sales last year and I am confident we will do even better this year. Rene's name is above mine because she had a higher percentage of eStore Sales to Total Sales for the year. She was second for our district in that area, as the Rep. with the highest percentage of eStore Sales was shown on a different slide and received a certificate of recognition. Here are the Top Three in eStore Sales for the Year-to-Date (not including myself): Rene Parker with $339.61, Vallarie Foster with $227.40, and JoAnne Bradford with $181.33. These people had eStore sales in C10: Davacenia Adams, Rene Parker, Wendy Reed, and Sheilia Smith.


I'd better finish this newsletter and get myself out of the house, because I want to do some quick book drops for customer search before the school buses start running. It won't be long until I don't have to worry about those bothersome buses, but then I will have to worry about the high heat. 😉 There's always something to interfere with our work if we let it, so let's NOT let it!!


Take care, and God bless! I pray for you and the success of your business often. Don't forget that there is still a little more time to earn tickets in the Ticket to Boss Life program and some of the best prizes are still available. Just send me the name of someone you want me to talk to on your behalf about the business and I'll help you get them started so you can earn a ticket or two. Or, just send them to www.startavon.com yourself and make sure they have your reference code to enter where it is required.

I'll be attending our annual Avon Awards Luncheon at the Marriott Hotel for most of the day, but emailed orders are always good and my answering machine is always on as well.

We received this notification from Avon today, so I want to be sure that you know about this change. Avon sends us a few Outlet catalogs each campaign and I generally give them to customers as I am delivering their orders. Just be sure you want what you are ordering from the Outlet, especially if it is a clothing item.

 


Thanks for your continued support of my business. I appreciate all of you who recommend me to your friends or recommend my eStore (smoore.avonrepresentative.com) to those who might not live in this area.

C7-9 Cloud Climbers Unit Newsletter - Don't Let Them Steal Your Joy!

(This is the newsletter I do for my team each campaign...except when I get behind and must combine several campaigns. Oops.)

The quote below was on a YouTube video from an "adventurer" that I follow, Cookie Taylor. My life is very different from Cookie's in many ways, but it is interesting to follow her and see her perspective, plus there are some things I can learn from her. It is amazing the changes she has made in her life since she simply decided one night that things must change. Her life is a work in process, just like the rest of us, but she is living life and pursuing her dreams after going through a period when she wasn't living much at all. The video this quote is from was one she did about an ugly email she received from a man who wanted to tell her she could not do what she plans to do (walk 1,000 miles around Iceland) because she would fail. His email was designed to discourage her, and her video was all about not listening to those whose lives are so pathetic that they feel they must drag others down to make them feel better about themselves. Of course, she will not be drug down, and she was encouraging others not to let such people poison your life but to hit the "Delete" button and continue on. Whether you fail or not is not the question, it is accepting the challenge and doing something with your life! 


I am not here to drag you down, but to build you up and encourage you to continue on. I hope that my newsletters do that, and I hope that you will be an encourager to others as well. Another good quote I have seen goes something like this: "Don't compare yourself to others, but to the you that you were yesterday." In other words, keep moving forward and become better than you have been in the past rather than being discouraged because you aren't doing as well as some others are doing.


It begins to look like I'm only going to get Newsletters out every quarter, instead of every campaign! Once again I find that I am further behind than I realize, so I'm having to combine results for THREE campaigns into this newsletter. What can I say? I'm guilty of having a very busy life and often trying to cram too much into it. I think I will go ahead and schedule on my calendar the dates for getting out newsletters so that I won't get so behind again. (Done!)

I'm thrilled to see that all of those on the Top Ten lists had sales of $150 or above!! I'm also excited to see how many of you had eStore sales over the past three campaigns. I'll list the top 3 in eStore sales first and then the others in alphabetical order: #1 Rene Parker, #2 Donna Langford, #3 Darren Mannahan, Davacenia Adams, Lisa Anderson, Joanne Bradford, Ashleigh Downey, Kelly Fuller, Maria Loza, Jennifer Malone, Caroline McCullough, April Moore, Wendy Reed, and Rebecca Robertson.


Celebrating Birthdays in April and May: Nicole Darby, Christy Diviney, Teresa Jordan, Donna Hamilton, Lisa Anderson, Donna Langford, Ruby Nunnery, Steffanie Erdelt, and Jessica Martinez. Happy birthday to all! 


Those who celebrated Avon Anniversaries in April or will be celebrating them in May are: Gladys Faulk (27 years), Myself (30 years), Kristi Strode (1 year), Jessica Martinez (1 year), Kim Mitchell (1 year), Alisha Edwards (1 year), Maria Lopez (6 years), Yvonne Lassiter (16 years), Rebecca Robertson (1 year), and Kathy McAlpin (1 year). Congratulations to everyone, and I hope to keep you all on my team for many more years to come!

I see that there has been one Avon Reward given during these three campaigns and that was to Rene Parker, who earned 25 Points for Sales Increase in the President's Recognition Program. These points can be used to purchase items in the PRP catalog. I recently used some of my points to pay for my RepFest fee and a new Singer Sewing Machine and Cusinart Dehydrator.


New Representatives since the beginning of C7 up until today are: Jennifer Killian, Ashley Parker, Tonya Davidson, and Jamie Trannon. Returning to the team after a short break are Christy Diviney and Callister Motter. Welcome and Welcome Back to all of you! Jennifer has already turned in a great first order (Award Sales of $281!), so congratulations go to her for a job well done. Our team is 63 members strong right now, and my goal for 2017 is the same as my goal for 2016 -- finish the year with 100 Cloud Climbers. Who is going to help me meet that goal by giving me names of people to talk to about Avon? If you give me a name, give me your Reference Code as well (the part after the / in your eStore link) so I can make sure that you get the credit for the recruit.


Whew! I'm caught up now, I hope, so it is time to get my own C10 order sorted and start my deliveries. I hope all of you have a great week and, as always, let me know how I can help you to meet your Avon goals.
