The best way to get your sales up is to make an effort to continually grow your customer base. There are all kinds of ways to do this. Avon will recommend using the "Power of 3", talk to 3 people about Avon every day and over the course of time...IMAGINE how many people know that you're a rep and are telling others where to find you.
Alternatively, I've referenced a number of resourceful websites to help build my own customer base which has increased my sales. I'll list them in the source section.
Also try tapping into the downloads section of Avon Online for printable coupons, customer cards, appreciation incentives etc. They're free and customizable and will encourage customers to place that first order with you, or to keep the orders coming.
You may want to consider investing in an Avon Website. If you're in Canada, check out the Interavon Site option which can be purchased on your PO for $18 (it pays for itself). If you're in the USA, I believe their version is a Your Avon page. Customers will find you with a google search!
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your Business!

I'm not sure what different opportunities there are with Avon but there are many ways to work with BeautiControl. They train you to have Spa parties in which you can customize skincare the guests, sell spa/body products and cosmetics. They also train you to determine peoples "seasons" and which colors are best for them both in wardrobe and cosmetics, with make-up application techniques. Another route is being Bridal consultant, they supply everything you need to help brides with there big day, regarding dress type, hair style & veil choice, skincare, make-up and relaxation techniques. Another option is going in to businesses and having mini stress breaks.
I have hosted parties at my house, gone to peoples houses and hosted parties for them, gone into businesses for the stress breaks and now I use the products with my massage clients. The products are wonderful and they sell themselves.
I am pretty new to BC, but so far I love it. I joined for the skincare because I had heard wonderful things about it, and because to remain a consultant and receive the discount on the skincare you just have to place a $100 retail order every 3 months. (minus discount). Now I am building a business for myself, so I can stay at home with my little girl, she is one month old.
BC supplies everything to start your own business. All for $99, what an opportunity!
It's usually $250 to join and receive over $500 in products but this month it's $99!
If you are interested, email me or check out my site listed below in sources.
Good Luck!

Just keep setting appointments, meeting people and talking. Make a plan and a realistic time table. To add fuel to you enthusiasm read tales of Avon pioneering days and successful reps. http://www.geocities.com/lcming/AVON

Specialize in selling to the gay community. If they like you, you'll have more referrals than you can handle. If you can handle yourself, that is. Like the Fab Five of cosmetics.
