Track Your Activities Every Day

Selling Avon can be a huge advantage for many Representatives.

There’s no boss breathing down your neck, no boring meetings to attend and no 45-minute drives in rush hour traffic.

Working from home can be a rewarding experience, but it’s easy to forget the basic rules of running a successful business when it’s 10 hours of just you, your computer and the distractions of home.

Growing your Avon business is pretty simple.

There are only 4 main steps:

  1. Prospecting for new customers & recruits.
  2. Getting a brochure (either paper or digital) to every customer every campaign.
  3. Following-up with every customer you gave a brochure to every campaign before you place your order.
  4. Take the order, submit it to Avon and deliver to your customer, or send them to your Avon Online Store to place their order

And then Rinse and Repeat.

It’s really that simple. You just do these 4 steps over and over again, and you will have a strong Avon business.

We have our Daily 8 System to help you work on the activities that will help you grow your business.

The Daily 8 system is a proven formula

When followed consistently, the Daily 8 Plan will help you maintain the consistency required to build a thriving team and an exponentially expanding residual income.

Instead of working 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week your goal is to capture 8 POINTS a day, 5 days a week for a total of 40 POINTS per week.

Print this sheet and use it to track your weekly points.

Follow this plan consistently for 90-days and teach your team to do the same. At the end of 90 days, REPEAT and then REPEAT again. This is your Daily Method of operation.

The real secret to your Avon Business success is that there is NO SECRET!

It simply takes a simple plan and the dedication and commitment to WORK THE PLAN consistently! That’s it!

Today We’ll Talk About Tracking our Activities

Since many of us work from home, we find ourselves mixing our business with other responsibilities, such as cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, etc.

So you may make a phone call and then do the dishes, then send out an email, and then fold laundry, then write a thank you card, and then play with your child for an hour. You’re exhausted and have been working all afternoon.

So now you feel that you’ve done a good day’s work and are ready to relax in front of the TV for an hour before you need to start getting dinner ready.

But if you were to track your activities for that day, you would see that you only did 3 things that took you about 5 minutes – not enough to grow a business.

Or, maybe you’re working on social media –

You check your messages on Facebook and are excited to see you had two responses from follow-ups the day before. Before you respond back, you take a look at their timelines to get to know them a little better.

One posted an interesting article that you get engrossed in. That leads you to another article, and another. Whoops, you realize you’ve veered off your intended track and you get refocused. You respond to the two responses you had received.

Now it’s time for you to post your daily motivational quote pic in Instagram. You log in and scroll through a couple of pics, like a couple, share a couple, and another hour goes by.

Now it’s lunchtime, and since you worked all morning, you reward yourself by watching a couple of videos while drinking your smoothie.

But wait… if you were to track your activities, you would find that you spent the last four hours, and all you accomplished was responding to two people and posting one motivational video. Ouch!

So what can you do about it? Start tracking your productivity.

I know that sounds tedious and boring, and you might be thinking you don’t have time for that. But trust me… just a couple of minutes spent tracking what you’re doing will make you so much more effective!

I keep a journal and I track my activities there. This is a sample of what my journal might look like.

My journal idea is only one way that you can track your activities. Some people like to use their planner/calendar and write their numbers on each date. It’s not so important how you track your activities – only that you do.

The key is to set goals. Know what it is that you want to accomplish. If you don’t know what you’re aiming for, how will you know when you’ve achieved it?

How many people are you going to talk to each day?

How many follow-ups?

How many Facebook posts, etc.

Track your activities, and then go back to evaluate how you did as far as meeting your goals. If you came up short, it’s okay. That’s why tracking is so valuable. Now that you know you’re not quite on course, make the course correction and put in the effort so that you will accomplish those goals the next week.

Just keep working on getting better. Move forward every day, and you will get there.
