Network
marketing, also known as multi level marketing (or MLM), comes in many
forms. One of the most popular network marketing methods is selling by
brochure, and one of the biggest companies using this method is Avon,
the worldwide cosmetics company. The Avon rep distributes her brochures
around the neighborhood, collects them again in a few days together
with the orders, and, at the end of the 3 week campaign, she passes her
orders to Avon. After a few days the orders arrive, she (or he!)
delivers the orders, collects her money and, after deducting her
commission, pays the remainder of the money to Avon.
If you are distributing
brochures in this way there is a good way to double the money you make.
Around ninety five percent of
the time taken to sell through brochures is spent traveling from house
to house. When you get to the house, instead of placing one brochure in
the postbox, try two different ones! It takes very little extra work
and can result in double the sales.
It seems so obvious yet so few
people do this, there are certainly none in our area or where my
friends and family live. Instead people deliver just the one, maybe
feeling some sort of loyalty to the company producing the brochure –
‘I’m an Avon Lady’ or whatever. That’s OK, but how about loyalty to you
and your family? You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to maximize
your income.
Of course there is no point
delivering two brochures that sell the same or similar things. But
there are different ones available: Avon is well known for its
cosmetics, and there are various other ones: vitamins, household goods
etc.
Two different brochures will
bring you more money, and don’t forget your down lines: your team
members will be happier if their earnings increase and they will be
more likely to stay in your team. Think double!
