Leading by example

So as a follow up to my last blog, "Destined for Success", I would like to announce that I have progressed into LEADERSHIP status with my Avon business! I would have never thought things would move so quickly. I now have 5 AMAZING girls on my team and they are just taking off running with their businesses! I am so excited for this next phase in my Avon journey but even more excited to see what's in store for my team members!

I have heard the saying over and over again: "The fortune is in the follow up". Only, I have heard it in the context of following up with your CUSTOMERS - but I think this also applies when it comes to building a successful team.

I have found that keeping in touch with my team members helps me get an idea of what their challenges are. Then, I'm able to offer the appropriate solution. If I'm not following up with my team, it becomes painfully easy for them to begin suffering in silence instead of communicating their concerns. When I take the initiative and ask "How are things going?". It becomes an open forum to the effect of "Well, actually I have some questions...". And the resolution starts there.
My goal is to continue supporting and maintaining communication with my team so that they know I care about their success. And more importantly, leading by example. After all, I was a fresh-faced, brand spankin' new Avon Rep too so I can relate!

To all my team members: Christine, Shanise, Sharde, Phyllis and Elizabeth - You are all rock stars and I want you to know I believe in you - 110%! I'm always available, accessible and I will always make it a point to understand and meet your needs. There's a reason I chose you and I know there's great things in store for you! GO TEAM AVON!! YOU GUYS ROCK! :)

Destined for Success

I've always felt I was made for more than my current circumstances, so when the opportunity to be an Avon Rep came along, I didn't have a doubt in my mind that this was my chance. I mean, come on! I get to make my own hours, build my team and I AM the one in control of how much I make?! How could I resist? I always wanted to be a business owner and what better way to do that than to sell products that people LOVE?


It was settled. I'd give Avon a shot and I'm so glad I did. The response I've received is amazing and not to mention my sales have seemed to double with each campaign. I am hooked, addicted and I don't care who knows it! I love Avon and I can't seem to understand why I didn't do this sooner.


This is just a excerpt of my personal Avon success story and I know there's only greater successes to come! Please stay tuned for all the latest news and updates. Also I will be beginning a Monthly Giveaway starting in March so stay tuned for that!


Also, I'd just like to take a moment to thank Christine Buttle and Shanise Williams for becoming the first 2 members of my Avon team! You ladies are great : )


Until next time, Thanks for stopping by the One-Stop Beauty Shop ; )
