Here is a list of fun ways that you can use to grow your business.
Remember the Power of 3 - TALK TO 3 NEW PEOPLE EVERY DAY ABOUT YOUR AVON BUSINESS!
Choose 10 items to do during one campaign, within 14 days (giving you the other 4 free to rest). Check them off as you do them. You could also do them as you’re going along, for example, you talk to a customer and she asks about lip liner and you mention how it would look good with lipstick, so you sell both, then you check off (one check mark there).
