To be a successful Avon representative, keep a good line of credit with the company, always pay your bills on time before you order new products and place regular orders. By recognizing and applying these factors, you will have freedom and confidence to target your plan for success.

Learn about your products. If you are going to be a representative for a product, know everything about it. Take the time beforehand to get to know the Avon line and all of the different products before you start ordering. Think about your market and the type of women who will order your products. Then order your makeup and beauty products accordingly. Be sure to order a few demos, which are samples of products that are available to representatives at a discounted price, in order for customers to be able to touch, feel and test.

Network to find opportunities to meet potential customers. No matter how great your sales skills are, you will never sell any Avon products if nobody knows you are selling them. Get out there and network. Invest in brochures from Avon and leave them all over your community, in places like salons, grocery stores or local pharmacies. Give extra brochures to your friends and ask them to pass the information along to their friends or coworkers.

Host parties featuring your Avon products. Avon parties are a key aspect of being a successful Avon representative. Organize parties at the homes of your friends and neighbors. Be sure to prepare beforehand by ordering enough demos, practicing what you will say about each product and preparing areas for your guests to view and test products easily. It is crucial to the party's success to have a sufficient supply of samples and demo products for guests to try.

Offer incentives to keep customers interested, such as a 10 percent discount if they buy anything from a certain line within the month. Giving incentives will demonstrate that you believe in your products and care about your customers.

Contact customers after the sale is made. After any party or sale, be sure to follow up to see how your customer is doing with the products. Address this followup as if it is a mini-consultation and stress Avon's 100 percent money-back guarantee if the customer is unsatisfied. This will show your customers that you have a genuine interest in their well-being. Keep your relationship with your customers active so that you will have a higher chance of getting repeat business.
