Ding Dong! Avon calling! (or Not) Getting the sales...

So despite my best efforts, my first campaign with Avon was .... not what I was hoping for. My goal was $250 in sales. My actual sales where $90. So, in an effort to boost my sales for the coming campaign I decided to try door to door to get customers... well, here is how that went.

Door one. The sweetest little lady you could ever want to meet! invited into her home. Showed me her handmade jewelry! So, we have somethings in common! She is a new customer.
Door two. As soon as I said Avon she asked me if My vision was bad... Why? because she doesn't use make up. will never use make up and told me how bad it is for you.... but wished me success in my endeavors! ;)
Door three. Not home, Knew I was a "sales Lady", or otherwise indisposed... take your pick! :)

So I am not going to lie. I have not sold anything door to door since I was in elementary school, selling fundraiser stuff to the neighbors on my block. I felt out of my element, even back then. I may try the door to door again, only because of fabulous door number one.

What I want to know is, how many of you would actually buy from a very non-pushy, friendly Avon rep that just knocked on your door and offered a brochure? seriously! I want to know! comment below and tell me your thoughts! I know everyone hates most sales people that knock on the door. But a nice, local, Avon lady? is that different?

And go! Don't forget to subscribe! thanks in advance!
