SELLING TIPS: Finding Customers

POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ARE EVERYWHERE!! 

"I see new Customers everywhere. I will walk brochures door-to-door to convenience stores, laundromats, beauty salons, real estate offices, day care centers. My feeling is, if a person can breathe, they can be my Customer."

Are you utilizing your network? 

Think of the places near your home, places you travel past every day to work, to drop off your children to school, while you are running errands, etc. These are ALL places you can ask to leave an Avon Brochure! 

Make a game out of it! Leave a book at all of these locations and then do something special for yourself. OR contact me when you have left a book at all of these locations to win a special prize!! ;)

*PLEASE NOTE* If you see a sign that says "NO SOLICITING" do not attempt to leave a brochure at that location in person! However, a savvy representative would find the number of that business and call to see if they are being serviced by an Avon Representative and if not, ask if she/he could leave a brochure!

Here a couple more tips as you go:

BE SURE TO ASK before you leave a brochure. You don't want your investment to go in the trash.

IF THEY SAY NO, ask if you can leave a breast cancer awareness brochure. Just place a label on the back of the Breast Cancer Awareness brochure with your contact information. (Ask me how to order these brochures!)

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND MOM AND POP SHOPS ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS! These companies will most likely be more willing to let you leave a brochure. Be sure to target them and offer the owner a discount or a free product as thanks for them letting you leave a brochure!

LOOK FOR COMMUNITY ORIENTED BUSINESSES. Businesses that are about supporting the community are also a great place to leave Breast Cancer Awareness brochures! Just remember to put your label on the back! You could also offer free makeovers or a free beauty party for the workers there! (Ask me how to do one!)

I hope you all will find the information I post useful in your businesses!

Sincerely,
