Create a Schedule and Stick to it

Top Avon Representatives will tell you that they work when they want to, and fill their work calendar around their life calendar. One calendar with everything on it, that you can carry with you at all times. This is a critical component for any successful Representative. You need to know WHEN you want to (and are able) to work. Mark it on your calendar. By scheduling and utilizing time that is set aside to work, you'll be way ahead.

When you know your next two or three available work dates at a moment's notice, people take you and your business more seriously.

Schedule time on your calendar to practice your demo, take a course or two on Avon’s Beauty of Knowledge training site, download a DSWA tele-class to your mp3, read up on product knowledge or network. Do SOMETHING to G-r-o-w your business.

Your Path to Creating Success

My question to you is…

"What are You going to do TODAY to grow your business & create income? "

Touch your business daily. Touch your business in SOME way - every day. To generate income & develop & create customer loyalty, you must make contact with your business on a daily basis. Your store is essentially "closed" any day you're not working.

Working means doing any of the following:

Essential Skills Every Entrepreneur Should Have

Essential Skills Every Entrepreneur Should Have

There's no doubt that entrepreneurs have the passion and mindset to develop innovative business ideas. What they often lack are the skills required to effectively execute them.

Starting and building a company is all about leadership: formulating an idea, building a unique plan based on vision and experience, and forging a path over and through all obstacles. Yet the image of leadership in business is at an all-time low, according to national leadership experts, considering the political debacles, record business bankruptcies, and executive fraud cases.

#19 - Expecting to Succeed

Day #19 - Expecting to Succeed

By Bob Oros

Knowing exactly what you want, expecting to get it and visualizing the outcome is effectively managing your attitude. When you spend time planning your strategies you are creating a situation you desire. You have control over the outcome.

If you are not advancing towards your goal with the expectation of success, it is not the goal that is out of reach.   It is the daily activities that need attention. The common denominator of all successful professional people is the same. THEY ALL EXPECT TO SUCCEED.

#17 - You Can't Sell Anybody Anything

Day #17 - You Can't Sell Anybody Anything

by Bob Oros

It's true! You can't sell anybody anything, you can't change people's minds, you can't persuade them to do something against their will and you can't get people to buy based on price alone.

We have to be crystal clear about what our job really is. We think that we have to apply pressure, use special psychological techniques and force people to buy from us.

Regardless of whether you are a supervisor, a sales person, a waitress, a service provider or a marketing manager your job is the same: Your job is to help people make good decisions - and the more informed you are about your products and services, the more valuable you are to your customer.

You can make your life a whole lot easier starting right now by stop thinking that you have to be clever and use some secret selling technique to get people to buy from you. All you have to do is answer this question; Why should someone buy from me? When someone asks that question of you what they are really asking is "I need help making a good decision!"

#16 - The Power of Knowing

Day #16 - The Power of Knowing

by Bob Oros

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE A PLACE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN?

I was driving down highway 75 in Florida and pulled off at a Long John Silver seafood restaurant for lunch. As I was entering the front door a ‘pan handler’ was sitting on the curb asking everyone for their spare change. As I was eating lunch I could see him through the window and I thought how distracting it was to the customers. I wondered why the manager didn’t ask him to leave. He had a can in front of him and one out of every five people dropped some change in it. 
I got to thinking that one out of every five is a pretty good closing ratio.  One more confirmation of the 2 out of every 10 law.

After I finished eating I walked out the door and was thinking about how I was going to avoid him. I was dressed extremely casual as my whole day consisted of simply driving from point A to point B. I have special cloths for these occasions as I don’t want to travel with a whole lot of luggage. So I have some old jeans and a special sweat shirt that my wife keeps telling me to throw away. As we made eye contact I made a spur-of-the-moment decision. I sat on the curb next to him. For the next 30 minutes I learned five lessons that will stay with me for a long time. Because of those 30 minutes I am not only a better sales person and a better speaker, I am a better person.
