Networking and the Golden Rules to follow

Avon cosmetics have long been a networking business.  It has only really came to the forefront of some Avon Representatives and Avon Sales Leaders minds to really push their levels of networking to grow their business.

On the 22nd June 2011 Avon UK invited several UK Bloggers to the Event of “The Golden Rules to Networking with Karren Brady“.

It was a huge success for the UK Bloggers and Avon Networkers in the room.  With 7 Top Avon Representatives and Avon Sales Leaders at the event including Karren Brady this networking event went extremely well.

Karren brady gave us her Top 3 Tips to networking and I also (Gail Reynolds) presented to the UK Bloggers, Karren and the Avon ladies with my unique Top Tips on how I have built my networking business too.

Avon Recruitment fair in bournemouth

In all my years as a sales leader I have taken part in events such as this one.  This recruitment fair was run by the Networking Mummies Group and it was Jo’s 1st event.  Personally I feel it went really well.  I had a few Team Memebers come along and they all got stuck in and chatted to the people that were there to look for further information about finding a new job. 

Katrina, Soraya, Lisa, and myself had a great time too, we all had our own helpers too which was lovely too.  An extra special thanks to my daughter Libby, she was an absolute star on the evening.  Apart from buying and eating all the cakes she helped with the design and setting up of the table.  Libby was great at helping Lisa and Katrina with their prospecting cards too, so big thanks.xx

As a team we discussed the importance of doing these type of events in their own local communities to gain an awareness that they are the Avon Recruiters in their area.

If and when my sales leader team watch the video and you feel as though you could do something similar, then all the materials you seen on the stand are yours to borrow too.  The Projector, the screen, the products, and the Reese Witherspoon stand.  You have to get yourself recognised in your own community so what’s stopping you!?
