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!
