2017 Kickstart for New Avon Representatives TipsOne of the many benefits of being an Avon representative is the amazing incentives that they continually offer to all representatives. What I personally love is the variety.
Some incentives will help you earn money, while others will help you earn business tools or exclusive Avon products. Then there are those fun free trips! Avon offers incentives at any given point for sales & leadership to help motivate & encourage representatives to build & grow their business starting with Avon Kickstart Program. What is Avon Kickstart Program?The Avon Kickstart program is an incentive for new representatives in their first 7 campaigns (14 weeks). It is built to help new representatives to grow their business at a steady pace so at the end they will have a solid foundation with their customer base as well as in.
How Avon Kickstart Program Works?There are 3 components to the Avon Kickstart incentive- Sales Component, Recruiting Component & Kickstart Performance Bonus. Each component has goals to meet in order to receive it’s individual bonus earnings.Sales ComponentThe sales component with Avon Kickstart is created to help a new representative to steadily grow their customer base & campaigns sales so by the 7th campaign, he/she will be on the road to reaching by their 7th campaign. Recruiting ComponentThe recruiting component is all about sharing the opportunity so by the 7th campaign, the new representative will have the minimum requirements established to start receiving checks at the Bronze Ambassador Level. Kickstart Performance BonusThe Kickstart Performance Bonus is a motivational bonus & a way to reward the new representative that completes the sales & recruiting component as recommended. How to Complete Kickstart Sales ComponentWith the Kickstart program, each time a new representative meets their sales goal, he/she will receive 40% earnings on ALL SALES. When I say ALL SALES that includes brochure orders, online orders & fixed items.
How to Qualify for 40% EarningsWith your 1st campaign, you will automatically receive 40% earnings on any total order size.For your 2nd-7th campaigns:CAMPAIGN #SALES GOAL# OF CUSTOMERSTOTAL EARNINGS2$1505-6$603$2006-8$804$25$300$350$40014-16$160As you can see, each campaign you want to grow your business by $50 in sales. By adding 2-3 more customers placing $20-$25 orders each campaign, this is very a manageable number that is very plausible as you are starting your business.TIP: Not every customer will order each campaign. Honestly, most customers won’t order every campaign.
So getting into the routine of gaining new customers each campaign when you are a new representative will end up making it easier for you in the long run. Determining Order TotalIn order to determine if you have met your sales goal, it is important to know how your order total is determined. Avon determines your order total by adding submitted orders (a.k.a. ), online sales & Avon Sales Center purchases. The totals used do not include the taxes or any fees like Shipping & Handling. Basically they total up all your orders you have for any given campaign- It’s that simple! What You Earn if You Do Not Meet Kickstart Sales GoalIf for some reason you do not meet your campaign sales goal, you will still earn money based on your order total. However, earnings will be based on the regular earnings chart:Keep in mind, if you do meet a sales goal for any given campaign, you are still able to earn the 40% earnings in the next campaign as long as you meet your sales goal.
This is not a all or nothing incentive. The only thing missing a sales goal will effect regarding the Kickstart incentive is the performance bonus. See below for more details.
How to Start Growing Your Customer BaseAvon is a well known name so when you mention Avon to someone, he/she will know the brand (Personally, I have not come across ANYONE who did not know what Avon was in the last almost 2 years of being a representative.)

For more information on your earnings as an Avon Representative, read this article:The percentage of commission you earn will depend on the total of all of the orders you turn in for each campaign. You can find the earnings chart on yourAvon.com – click on Earning Opportunities – Earnings Chart. Avon is an opportunity based on “the more you sell, the more you earn” so in order to make the most of every campaign, be sure to turn in large orders and get to know your earnings chart so you don’t miss out on the next earnings level by a small amount.See the Avon earnings chart below:. $0 – $149.99: 20%. $150 – $299.99: 30%. $300 – $499.99: 35%. $500+: 40%How do I get paid as an Avon Representative?When you sign up to become an Avon Representative, you are becoming an Independent Sales Representative and not an employee of Avon Products.
You will not receive a paycheck from Avon for selling products face-to-face. When taking orders from customers face-to-face, you collect the total amount of their order + the order processing charge + sales tax. Once you have collected and submitted all of your Avon orders for a given campaign, Avon will bill you for the cost of the products, the One Simple Fee, and sales tools. Since Avon bills you for the cost of the products, the One Simple Fee, and any sales tools you orderthe amount left over from your customers’ payments is your profit. See the example below:Amount Collected from Customers – Amount you Owe Avon (Cost of Products + One Simple Fee + Sales Tools) = Your ProfitIn order to figure out how much money you made on your orders, you can look at your invoice once your order has billed and find the line that says estimated earnings.
Be sure to subtract the cost of any sales tools and fees from this amount to find out your amount of profit. The sales tax amount is not one of the costs you should subtract from your earnings since you collected this money from your customers and are passing it on to Avon to pay for you. Find ways to conserve in the beginning like recycling brochures (ask for the brochures back when your customers has placed their order or ask them to pass it on to a friend).How does selling Avon online work?When you, you can sell Avon door-to-door. You can also decide whether you want to or sell traditionally and online. I recommend trying both until you start excelling at one or the other. If you are successful traditionally and online, sell Avon both ways to make the most money.When you set up your Avon website, you can determine whether you want online customers to have the option of direct delivery, representative delivery, or both.
If you choose direct delivery only, all online orders will be shipped directly to your customers. Direct delivery orders will be received, processed, and shipped by Avon. If you select representative delivery, customers can place their order on your website but their order will only be put in your online cartyou are still responsible for placing the order, collecting payment, and delivering the order. If you choose both, the customer can pick how they would like their order processed.Avon offers training courses to help you and also provides cutting edge tools to help you promote your Avon website on all of your favorite social media sites. In fact, if you’re someone who wants to start, I’m a great person to sign up with because I am averaging over $8,600 in online sales per month and have recruited the majority of my nationwide team of 1,300 Avon Representatives online. Please keep in mind that online marketing takes time.
I do provide videos and tools for my team to learn and recruit new Avon Representatives online. How do you get paid when selling Avon online?Similar to selling Avon traditionally, you do not receive a paycheck for your online sales commission. Instead you receive credits from Avon on your account which either deducts from the balance you owe Avon or accumulates to a credit balance. Once you have a credit balance of $5 or more on your Avon account, Avon will make a direct deposit to your bank account in the amount of the credit balance. The direct deposits post on the 1st and the 15th from Avon (allow 2 business days to see the direct deposit in your bank account). If you do not set up direct deposit, you can request an Avon prepaid card from the Avon Customer Insight Center for reps: 866.513.2866 if you have a credit of $5 or more.
How much can you make selling Avon online?Your commission earnings percentage for selling Avon online will be determined by adding the amount you sell face-to-face with the amount you sell online to determine your commission percentage on the earnings chart.Combine your face-to-face sales with your online sales to determine your earnings level:. $0 – $149.99: 20%. $150 – $299.99: 30%.
$300 – $499.99: 35%. $500+: 40%Do I have to meet a sales quota with Avon?The beauty of being your own boss with Avon is there are no sales quotas to meet. You will not be removed as an unless you have six campaigns in a row of not placing an order. You could also suggest to your customers to place the order on your website if they prefer to receive it earlier. Do I have an Avon sales territory?Absolutely not! There are no sales territories with Avon which gives you the power to build a huge customer base all over your city, state, or even further. With the power of the Internet, you can to customers all over the USA.
Are there any other costs associated with selling Avon?Yes, there are a few other costs you should be aware of with. Each campaign that you place an order, you will be charged a shipping and handling fee. Don’t worry thoughwhen you collect the.75 cent order charge from your customers, it is yours to keep to cover your Avon selling costs.
The only other costs you will be responsible for when is buying your own catalogs (starting at $6.49 for a pack of 10 and get less expensive the more you buy), samples (optional), and sales tools (Avon branded sales tools like bags – also optional). Does Avon provide training?Yes but because this is your own Avon business, it is up to you to take advantage of Avon events, online training courses, and read Avon materials. Avon will not force you to do anything so you must be self-disciplined and make the most of your business if you want to be a successful Avon Representative. What’s the best way to make money in the beginning?In the beginning, it’s easier to get face-to-face orders than it is online but I would do both. The online sales are great once you start getting them but can take longer to build up than traditional sales. You should also consider starting your own team right away. If you’re worried about what to saydon’t.
Just find people who are interested in selling and your upline or district manager can help with the rest. The reps that make over $100,000 per year have built up big Avon teams. As far as sales, you may want to consider having a Grand Opening party or event to tell everyone you are now an Avon rep and show them the latest catalog. Be sure to get contact info when you hand out catalogs so you can follow up to see if they want to place an order. Be sure to fill out your invitation list of everyone you know who may be interested in Avon and follow up with them about buying or selling.Do I have to charge sales tax to my customers?When a customer places an order with you, it is your responsibility to also collect sales tax.
Program For Avon Reps In Hawaii 2017
You can usually find your county’s sales tax rate on the county website or by looking for the percentage on the bottom of a receipt from a retail establishment. All you need to do is plug in your tax rate.For ex: the sales tax rate in my county is 8.25% so if I had a customer whose subtotal came to $100, I would collect $108.25 ($100.0825 = $8.25 for sales tax).How do I get Avon brochures?Your starter kit will come with Avon catalogs. For the following campaigns, you will need to order brochures. They come in packs of 10.
To order and see the cost of brochures, go to Order Brochures – then Avon Brochure Pricing Info – in your order cart on yourAvon.com. You can also order brochures using product number 055745. Since they come in packs of 10, enter a quantity of 1 for a pack of 10, 2 for a pack of 20, etc. You are always ordering brochures two campaigns ahead. Ex: if you are placing an order in campaign 2 and enter product number 055745, you will receive campaign 4 catalogs.
If you wanted to order campaign 3 catalogs, you would need to use the drop down menu in your order cart to select campaign 1 and enter product number 055745.How do I know if I have to place an order / deliver for one of my online customers or if it will ship directly to them?If your customer chooses direct delivery on your website, it will ship to their house and you will be credited the commission amount on your account. If they choose rep delivery, you will be notified via email from Avon. You will still need to place the order, collect the money, and deliver the order to your customer. Beware of scams as a new repmy word of advice is to never accept an order from a stranger who is not willing to place the order and pay for it on your eStore. Be especially cautious if they are asking to pay by money order or cashier’s check.
Again, I advise not accepting these types of ordersif it seems fishy, it probably is a scam. Do I receive a discount on my personal orders?You will receive the same discount as you would earn in profit. You can find the commission levels on this pagedepending on the total amount of your orders, you will earn different percentage levels of profit. So if your commission amount was 20%you would receive a 20% discount on anything you buy for yourself: You can also earn a bigger discount by shopping out of the What’s New catalogs also known as demo books.
Those are books specifically for representatives and you can only order 1 of each product unless it says otherwise.Do you hold team meetings or send out communications to your team?I usually create email newsletters, blog posts, and videos with tips. I find it’s easier with reps all across the country to do a recording or communication that people can access on their own time since we all have different schedules.
I’m happy to work one-on-one with those who are interested. There are also local and regional workshops hosted by Avon corporate. Here are some helpful affiliated websites for you to order marketing materials:.
