The Roles of an Avon Rep

Avon Representatives must perform a wide variety of task to run their business successfully. Essentially Avon is just the distributor and warehousing component of the business. Representatives must perform the task of many departments including customer service, sale, accounting, marketing, delivery, business analyst, trainer, and manager. Moreover, each of these categories can be broken down into subcategories which are equally as important. To succeed as an Avon Rep. you need to be organized and able to meet deadlines.

Like any business a good Rep. must be willing to change as the world changes. Learning to take advantage of opportunities and knowing when to reflect on your business strategy can be critical to earning money with Avon. With the economy upside down and a high unemployment rate you may have a hard time selling as families cut back on expenses. However, you may have a boost in new recruits as people experimenting with new ways to make ends meet. If you live in a small town you may face further struggles with finding new customers.

Analyzing your business is necessary to keep track of what is generating new leads and sales. You should keep track of all of your expenditures and know your profit margin each campaign. Is the money you made worth the time you invested? Can you calculate how much you made per hour? Is your current marketing method bringing you enough new customers to justify the expense? Is your business growing each quarter? These are some simple questions you must be able to answer to justify staying in business.

In my book Internet Marketing for Avon Representatives I talk about thinking of you Avon business as having two departments; A real world department and an online department. Many Reps see the online component of their business as being just a supplement to their real world business. I urge you to be open minded and adopt a new way of looking at your online business. If you live in a small town or a community that has been destroyed by the current economic issues facing the country then you should already be looking for new ways to grow your Avon business. Focusing on your E-Rep business may be the answer you are looking for.

I don't think I need to tell you how many people the internet has made wealthy. The amount of potential customers you have access to online is simply astonishing. Just like your real world business your online business requires your time. The benefit is that you do not have to invest any more money into business cards or other marketing materials. Online you create your own business cards and contact information in the form of links and emails. Your E-Rep store will be set to direct delivery and Avon will be processing and shipping all or your orders. This frees your time up to strictly deal with online marketing.
