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!
