Network Marketing Defined…

Unless you are part of the Network Marketing and/or Direct Selling world already you may not know what these terms mean, so here is a breakdown of terms and what they mean for those that are curious but still not sure about the industry.

Network Marketing–Is marketing to people in your network. Your network includes friends, family, coworkers, and people you meet on a daily basis. Sometimes it is intentional marketing and other times it is discussing the latest book you read, television show or movie you watched, or song you listened to and by recommending it to someone you are marketing it to them whether you mean to or not.

Network Marketing as a Business–You market a specific product or service to your network.

Direct Selling–A form of network marketing where you are an independent distributor for a company and market their products/services to customers. The customers buy the products through you and you earn commission.

Warm Market–People you already know that you are close to already. Friends, Family, and Coworkers.

Cold Market–People you do not know personally; People You Meet are cold market until they can be considered part of your warm market.

A little about me: I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia and still live locally. I have my Masters in Teaching for Early and Elementary Education and I am an early childhood teacher. I have been teaching since 2012. In the next five years, I would like to get my reading specialist endorsement so that I can become a reading specialist. I joined Avon in August 2011 in order to earn an income around going to college full time. When I first joined Avon, I had no idea what I was getting myself into and I had never heard of direct sales. My mother had actually been an Avon Representative briefly before I was born and she shared some about the company with me and said that I should go for it! I met with my upline sales leader and she signed me up and the rest is history! Over the last several years, Avon has become a major passion of mine and I have enjoyed being able to share Avon and it’s products and missions with those around me.In 2013, I took an interest in expanding my online Avon business and since then I have been blogging and growing my Social Media presence. Avon is truly loved by many and when you start sharing that online you can really see the love and support from others worldwide. Even though we can only serve customers in the United States and share the Avon opportunity with those in the USA, worldwide followers will find you on Social Media and the web. In 2014, I was awarded the Spirit of Avon award and I earned the coveted President’s Club sales level and my first Mrs. P.F.E. Albee figurine. Mrs. P.F.E. Albee was the first Avon Lady back when David McConnell (Avon’s founder) had the California Perfume Company (which later became Avon Products). In 2016, Avon Products North America was bought out and thus New Avon, LLC was born. I have been super excited for the new changes of New Avon, LLC! My goals in 2018 are to continue to grow my online presence, earn President’s Club sales level, and become an Ambassador or above in our leadership chain. I do not have a family yet, but my hope is that when I decide to start one I can use Avon as a source of income in order to stay at home with my children when they are small like my mom stayed home with me and my brother until we both were in school.
