My KickStart Journey with Avon


*This post has been revised to include my second recruit.

Well, here I am at the end of my seventh campaign - and the end of my KickStart program with Avon.


Maybe I didn't set the world on fire, but I didn't do too badly either for my first 90 days. Here's what I earned:

# of Qualified KickStart Recruits: 2      Earned $100 bonus ($50 each)
TOTAL KICKSTART EARNINGS: $529 out of a possible $1,000+
(For KickStart Program goals, see my previous post, "What's Holding You Back from Your Dreams?")

So, I did miss out on the 40% in my seventh campaign, mostly because I was out of town on vacation for one of the two weeks and really slacked off the other week. Shame on me!

I also missed out on one more $50 bonus for Qualified Recruits, and the final $200 bonus since I missed these things.

BUT, under the Ticket to Boss Life program, I earned a scratch-off ticket for the first recruit. Every ticket is a winner, and the prizes range from Avon swag to trips for four to Disney World. I haven't received my ticket yet, so that one is still a mystery!

AND, under the Go Country, Win Big program, I met my sales goals ($300 in Campaigns 10, 11, and 12) to win a pink cowboy hat at RepFest in Nashville. Additionally, I had one qualified new recruit (yes, the same recruit got me three prizes) that earned me an invitation to an exclusive VIP party at RepFest. Had I gotten an additional two recruits by campaign 12, I would also have received a free hotel room worth $425.

Oh, and as long as I meet my sales goals, I will also earn 3% of everything my downline sells. Plus, I am only one recruit away from becoming a Bronze Ambassador, which carries additional bonuses of $750 and an additional 3% generation bonus as  long as my team sells $1,000 per campaign. And it gets even better if you keep going.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a company that truly values and rewards its representatives. If you make President's Club with sales of $10,000 in a year, you receive 40% commission for the entire next year, plus great prizes and recognition. You can win fabulous trips and much, much more.

If you think that selling Avon isn't for you, maybe you should give it another thought. I am the biggest introvert, and yes, this forces me to step outside of my comfort zone. But guess what - nothing bad happens when I do! In fact, I have met so many nice people and am having so much fun doing this. Sure, I still have moments of self-doubt. But then I see how close I am to the next goal, and I pick myself up, put on my makeup, and get out there - because the competitor in me really wants to achieve that next milestone.

First Event....Uneventful


So, I was very excited to have my first Avon event, which was actually just the garage sale I have every year during the National Road Festival, or "Pike Days," as we locals call it. But since I just started selling Avon in March, I thought it would be a great addition to my sale.

To prepare, I bought a LOT of inventory over several campaigns. I stocked up on Skin So Soft, Bug Guard, Bubble Bath, Perfumed Skin Softeners, Moisture Therapy, Shower Gels, and Foot Works. I'm still in KickStart, so I got 40% off of all of these. I ordered lots of brochures. Bought the tablecloth from Town and Country. Made up a couple of nice gift baskets and a raffle basket.

Over three days, I sold two Glimmersticks, a Skin-So-Soft spray, and a shower gel. BUT, I gave away lots of books, got 20 people's contact information from my raffle giveaway, and probably gained four or five future customers.

The weather did not cooperate this year, as it was cold and damp almost the entire weekend. The forecast called for thunderstorms every day, which kept people from coming out. Overall, the crowds were not even close to last year.

This was a learning experience. Although it was fun, it was not very profitable. Luckily I have another event, a vendor fair, coming up in three weeks. But for anyone about to have their first Avon event, I would offer the following advice:
  1. Don't overbuy inventory. Have a few of the "favorites" on hand - Skin So Soft, Bug Guard, Bubble Bath, maybe a couple of the classic fragrances and a few nail polishes or lip glosses.
  2. Do have lots of books, and offer one to everyone you see. Don't forget your business cards also!
  3. Hand out samples with small "Need more?" stickers with your eStore address on them.
  4. Smile, be approachable, and talk to everyone who stops by. You never know what they might be looking for.
  5. Don't be "salesy," but be friendly. Get to know them. Answer their questions, offer anecdotes about the products.
  6. If they want a product you don't have on hand, offer to order it for them or direct them to your eStore.
  7. Remember, as Molly Stone-Bibb says, "Slow and steady wins the race." Concentrate on building relationships, and the money will follow. Just have fun with it!
