  • Welcome to Lois Saunders (KS), Kelly Scheiber (KS), and Jennifer (recruit from Robin Kaehler who is starting out in KS). Lois and Kelly joined in C15. Jenn's first order will appear in C17.



    Effective C14, there are new prizes, and as of C17 statement, there will be a complete restructure of the prizes available. Prizes will only be awarded to those in attendance at the sales meetings. I will, however, include all reps in contest give-aways. This was a business decision, and not a personal one. I feel that we need to "raise the bar" and strive for the next level. And for ALL of us, that is President's Club (PC). See Awards Level Spotlight for more information on PC. To see the benefits of reaching these levels, take this example:

  • $300 in sales = 35% commision = $105 earnings
  • My gift of full size product --> you can keep for yourself, use as a demo to increase orders, or resale for profit.
  • The stamp you earn when you reach $550 will make stamping all those books faster and easier (no more writers cramp!)
  • And to reward your tremendous effort for selling $1300, you not only get 50% commission from AVON, but dinner and a movie for you and another ON ME! The only thing I ask in return --> recruit the waitress!

  • Following are the prizes to be won during the month of August:





    Awards Level Spotlight

    President's Club



    The first award level one acheive's with AVON is President's Club, aka "PC".

    How do you get to PC?

    Sell $9400 in a single cycle. An AVON cycle is Campaign 8 to CAmpaig 7. By the end of C7, you need to have sold $9400. If you started in C8 (or earlier), it translates to $362 each of the 26 campaigns. That translates to $26 per day in sales. Or, if you have a ticket (order) average of $15, you need to service 25 customers . Any way you figure it, you need at least $9400 in sales by the end of C7.

    What do you get once you reach PC?


    Imagine how your business could grow from here!

    Featured Product

    ANEW Retinol Hand Complex

    ANEW Retinol Hand Complex debutes in C19. Be prepared with some on hand. This is NOT just another hand cream -- it's NOT a hand cream. ANEW Retinol Hand Complex is a Retinol treatment for your hands (as well as elbows, knees, and feet if you desire). To put it in perspective, the Retinol Hand Complex has TWICE the retinol in it as the Retinol for face. And the Retinol for face has 4 TIMES the amount of retinol as Estee Lauder's Diminish. The reason for the large amount of retinol in the hand complex is because the skin on the hands, knees, elbows, and feet is much tougher than the skin on the face.

    What will Retinol Hand Complex do?

    It reduces the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles on your hands. AVON's patented Microsponge system delivers Retin directly to the skin. (Retinol is the purest form of vitamin A.) Retinol Hand Complex also contains Parsol 1789 (UVA & UVB protection) as well as SPF15. This product is to be used twice daily (AM & PM treatments).

    What will my results be?

    After 2 weeks, there will be...

  • 48% improvement in the texture of your skin
  • 44% reduction in the appearance of crepiness (not to be confused with creepiness -- LOL)

    After 4 weeks, there will be...

  • 54% reduction in age spots
  • visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
  • hands appear much firmer and toned
  • nails & cuticles look healthier
  • nails are resistant to breakage

  • How do I sell it?

    Have people TRY it!!!

  • Give tubes to your best customers to try for 2 weeks.
  • Have people sample it on 1 hand only.
  • Offer both hand & face treatments for $30 --- that's $4 off the regular price and $2 off the sale price.
  • Offer a 2 punch special off your ANEW club cards.
  • Most importantly, LET PEOPLE TRY IT!! It's not your Grandma's hand cream!



    CONTEST UPDATE!!


    Now thru Campaign 20, I am having a recruiting contest. The representative with the most recruits will win a Skin Care Kit. (If you have one already, I will simply retain the training guide, and you will still receive the consult pad, samples, and full size AIO). Here's what you need to do to win:

  • Turn in your recruiting name to your DM
  • Include my name and account number with your referral.

    By providing my account number, you complete what is called a "3-way Link." This means you will get which ever recruiting reward you would like to choose, and your recruit becomes part of our elete group. Only those we "select" can be part of this group, and they have to sign up as a rep to be part of it!

    When you turn in your name, make sure you notify me via email or phone with the name, address, phone number, email if they have one. This allows me to keep track as well. Your names do not have to be in your home town or your home state, but they do need to be in the continuous United States. And if they are in the Kansas City area, that's even better!

    When you choose your recruiting reward, keep in mind the leadership option. If you do not know what leadership is, or have questions about the program, talk to me and I will help you as best I can. I encourage you all to explore this option of recruiting, especially with the new changes taking place!

    Current Standings:

  • Heather Scrivo -- 1 + 1 turned in (taken Leadership)
  • Robin Kaehler -- 1 + 1 turned in (taken Leadership)
  • Allison Jennings -- 1 turned in (taken Leadership)




  • I have decided to revamp my Cheaper By the Dozen Club. And I thought some of you might be interested in what I'm preparing to do. I picked this idea up from the aol loop, and combined it with what I have already been doing.

    Originally, with the Cheaper By the Dozen Club, the customer had to buy 11 like items, and the 12th was free. Now, I will be offering all 12 items to be purchased at one time for a substantial discount. The items would be delivered (gift wrapped if requested) each month to the recipient. This is going to be targeted mainly towards the men customers. For example, if their wife is an ANEW customer, for Christmas he could purchase her this gift. Each month, I would provide her with either an ANEW product of her choice, or deliver one of my choice gift wrapped. The cost to the husband = $205.20. That is only $17.10 per month. I got the figure as the average price of all the ANEW products. The only ones more expensive would be the Night Force, Formula C, Retinol for face, and AIO Intensive complex. All other products are under $16.

    The above is an example of what I have started and the program will be ready to roll out with Christmas. If you would like more details, please contact me at AVONrep@webtv.net.
