How to sign up my first recruit?

You will need to contact your District Sales Manager to sign up your first recruit and after that you can do it yourself. If you cannot reach your District Sales Manager do this:
1. Email her with topic "I have a friend who wants to sign up!"
2. Call the office number you can find in your My account/Profile/Support Information and leave a message saying that you have want to sign up your first recruit and need help with it. If you just say "call me back I need help" noone is probably going to call you back unfortunately... But if you say you have someone who wants to sign up with Avon, they should get back to you fast. New recruits is their priority.
3. If nothing works then go to your avon online account and click Help/other and tell them about your problem. They will get your DSM to get back to you asap. Or call Fast Talk number 1-513-551-AVON (2866).

Once you enroll in leadeship (sign up your first recruit) you will get a new tab on your erepresentative website called "Opportunity". Also you will be able to order 'Appointment kit" from Campaign tools and sign up people yourself. Another great feature is that you will be able to sign up new recruits online! Anyone anywhere in the country can go to http://start.youravon.com enter your reference code (This is either the letter "D" and the District number of the Manager who referred you to Avon, or the last part of the url (www.youravon.com/Representative) of the Representative who shared the Avon opportunity with you) and sing up under you online. It costs $20 and they will get their starting kit by mail within 5 days.

Keeping your downline / Leadeship

Q. "Scenario - you have 2 downline members. How much in sales do they / or you personally, have to maintain in order to keep these members under you ? I read somewhere that if you don;t achieve a certain amount of sales as a group / personally, that you "lose" the downline to your upline. Can someone explain what one has to do / achieve in order to keep their downline members."

A.
"From the campaign of your first recruit, you have 13 campaigns to have a total of 5 - if not, they roll up. If you have your 5, but you don't have the $250 in personal sales and $1200 in unit sales, you get another 13 campaigns to make UL (which is the minimum of 5, your $250 and unit $1200)

So, look at the campaign your first recruit was appointed in - and count out 13, if you don't have 5 by that 13th campaign, you lose your DL"

Q.
"The total Unit Sales and my Personal Sales figures - does this need to be EVERY campaign or just within a 13 campaign period ?

A.
Every campaign, if you become a UL, and you fail to perform at that level (5 reps/$250/$1200) for 5 campaigns, its called being at risk, if you are 5 at risk, when the current campaign closes (would technically be 6th campaign) your downline rolls up.

Q.
If I went 3 campaigns without making level, and my 4th campaign I make level, does it start over again and I now have 5 campaigns again to make level before my downline rolls up.

A.
Once you title as a UL - yes, if you are a UL and in C16 you only had $500 in unit sales, but you met your $250, that puts your title at risk 1 campaign, in C17 you miss the unit sales again, you are now 2 at risk, C18 your team really kicks into high gear and you all hae $3000 in unit sales, you are no longer "at risk" . So you are cool (so to speak) until then next time you/your team fails to perform, then it starts at 1 again.

Also, Avon also gives you a "safety net" - when you title as a UL, you will see on your earnings statement "250 performance points" This is a safety net for you. Say in C16, your team has the $1200 but your personal order is only $200. Avon automatically borrows 50 performance points so your personal order is now $250 and you are good to go. In C17 you have a $500 order so avon "pays back" your performance points so they stay at the 250
