Avon and getting other jobs through adding Avon to your CV!

Hi Everyone!

                            It’s been a while since I last wrote my latest blog post. Yesterday I went to see a lady in Collier row who wanted to join Avon and become a representative. I asked her if she is working and she said yes, she is a Legal secretary. When this lady was telling me about her job, and that she was planning to give brochures out to her work colleagues, it  reminded me once again, that there are so many types of people that join Avon. No matter what type of job you are in, every one could do with some extra money. And every woman buys toiletries/make-up. So from joining Avon, not only do you get your own products sent to your own home at discounted prices but you are also making money from selling to friends/family/local area/businesses. 

So far, along the way of meeting people and getting them started up with their Avon business, I have met people who work at schools, carers, people who work within the NHS such as nurses, people who are in the middle of doing degree’s, mum’s who are wanting to earn some money whilst looking after their little one’s, and people who are looking for work. So all different kinds of people!

Another thing that I don’t think alot of people know about Avon, is that by working with Avon it can help you to get other jobs! (until you are hopefully earning enough one day from Avon by being a sales leader and rep that you don’t need to be looking for other jobs! lol) For example, I applied for a job as a recruitment consultant a while ago. I had put on my CV that I’m an Avon sales leader and representative and then listed the main things that my role involves. The employer then called me up and was keen to know more. So it just goes to show!

If you are interested in becoming an Avon representative or a sales leader, you can apply on my website today!

Goal setting & being able to tick off the list :)

Hi everyone,

Goal setting is important as it drives us to do what we have to, to reach our goals at the end of each step.

At the beginning of the year, I sat down and thought of a few things I would like to be able to treat myself to from working my Avon business.

At the end of January, I was able to buy myself a keyboard with a stand and headphones. I have wanted to learn how to play the keyboard for years and now I have finally bought it as I focused on what I wanted. Although, this time round, I didn’t get this entirely through Avon, I also combined some Christmas money too lol. But it was a nice feeling to tick something off the list!

So now, I have the goal of trying to teach myself how to play! haha.

For a bit of fun: One song that sticks with me now from going to the Live Your

Dream event (see previous posts about LYD) is by Queen – A kind of magic.

They had us all singing this song and the first line is ‘One dream, one soul, one

prize, one goal’. Here is the video for you to listen too.

My new website!

Hello again!

                This is just a quick post….I just wanted to share my website with you all!

http://www.carlysreps.beep.com

Take a look around and leave a comment, I would love to hear some feedback from you all!! 

I hope 2013 is going well for you all so far  

2013 – HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

Hello everyone,

  I just want to say Happy new year! As I write this I have had 673 views. Thank you to everyone who has taken a few minutes out of their day to read my blog all about Avon.

Every year we always hope it will be a better year then the last. But this year does actually feel like it is going to be a good year, of course I could be totally wrong and unexpected things can happen, but it feels good in the fact that for the first time ever, I have sat down and properly thought of some goals and targets I want to achieve. With a fresh new year, I feel focused and ready.

So this morning I went prospecting for the first time this year (second day in lol). I went to Romford and met up with the area manager Maria and a local sales leader Brunella. It was quite quiet in the high street today, so Brunella and I went to some flats and houses and handed out quite a lot of prospecting cards. Tomorrow we may be doing the same.

One thing I want to make a real effort with whilst I do not have a full time job, is that I want to be going out to prospect, leaflet drop as many times a week possible. From doing that, you build your team, and earn more, as we all know!!

                                                                                                                                                                               Here is to 2013!

Christmas is coming!

Hello everyone,

I have only just realised today that Christmas is next week!! I can not believe how quick this year has gone! I think 2012 has been quite a hard year for alot of people I know, including myself too, in some ways. I still have a couple of people to buy presents for, and I still have presents I need to give out, and lots more wrapping too!

Avon wise, my sales have actually improved towards the end of this year, but I think that is due to the fact that I worked harder this year to get new customers etc. Also I have the most Avon reps in my team since I started which I am pleased about too! But still heaps of room for more!

Around now, is the time I should be putting some goals into place for next year, business wise, but with the stress of preparation for Christmas, I don’t seem to be focusing and having the self motivation at this moment in time! Is it just me, or you too?!

After Christmas (but before the new year) I shall be sitting down and getting in the mode ready with a plan, for when I go out there in the new year!

I am sure I will be more ‘christmassy’ by the end of the week, when everything is almost done. I would love to hear how everyone else’s Christmas preparation is going or how your year has been, please leave a comment in the box below!

Thanks for reading! xXx

Long time, no….post!/ Live your Dream part 2

Hello Everyone

It has been quite a long time since I wrote a new post on here! A couple of months ago, I was working 6 days a week running a coffee shop aswell as many other things, so it was all go go, but finally I can write my next post, so I will carry on with part 2 of Live your Dream….

Me and Grace was in our room at the hotel getting ready for the gala dinner, and I was soo excited! I love dressing up glam and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to be happening next. Once Grace and I got ready, Ally and Usha met us in our room and we all went down together.

When we entered the hall, there was round tables with pretty light decorations on, and there was little gift bags at every seat, lots of wine on each table, the place just looked great! Here is a picture.

 

 

All of the ladies were dressed up in gorgeous dresses and the men were in smart suits. Everyone was having a lovely time, talking to each other, having dinner, drinking wine and there was lots of entertainment too which made it extra special! Especially, as the pop star and face of Avon, Alesha Dixon was on the stage singing! Here are some pictures of our night!

Once the gala dinner had finished, there was then a party room where everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves and letting their hair down

After that, Usha and me decided to go and have some tea in the lounge area, by this time it was around 12.30am I think, and it had been a long day with a lot to take in. We then decided to call it a night.

The next day, I woke up to the alarm ringing at 5.30am *yawn*. It was a very early start and I didn’t want to miss breakfast lol, so I got up and ready, packed my things, and a little while after me, Grace was up too and we went down for breakfast. I have to say I was impressed with the choice of breakfast, I didn’t expect there to be as much as there was. I decided to go with some hot food and some fruit juice By then, I was ready to start the day.

This was our second day, and it included lots of recognition. People won vouchers, mobiles, Ipads for their hard work. There was also a raffle where everybody in the room had a chance to win a car! That was an amazing moment for the winner! We all went home with lots of goodies and found out what was coming in the brochures in the run up to Christmas.

It was all in all a fantastic experience and I am definitely going to be attending again!

LIVE YOUR DREAM 2012

Wow! Where do I start…..

For those of you who don’t know about THE AVON EVENT OF THE YEAR – it is called ‘Live Your Dream’ (LYD). This is an event which all the Avon Sales Leaders and Area Sales Managers go to. It was my first year of going to this event…

We were all going to be staying at the Hilton hotel in Birmingham. Ally, Usha, Grace and I all went together in the car. It was going to take us a couple of hours to get there and we were all really excited as it was all our first year of going to this event, but we had heard loads about it. It sounded amazing…. and it was AMAZING

Once we arrived, we all had to go to the Kings suite where all the sales leaders would be for tea and coffee. The room was huge, and there was alot of people. Someone had told me, there was 800 sales leaders there, so it was very exciting I noticed some people who were on my Avon Facebook page (Carly Avon Chigwell Essex – add me!). We then all went into the palace suite for Lunch. We sat at the table with our upline sales leader, Amanda Garrett. Here is a couple of pictures:

I was sharing my room with Grace and after lunch we put our suitcases in our rooms, and then we had our presentations in the Monarch suite.

The Avon Stage

After all the presentations had finished, everyone went to start getting ready for the evening – the gala dinner. This was the part I was really looking forward to!!
