21. Leadership Performance Report Pasadena – District 1234 Name: Jane Winters Agreement Date: C”/08/11 Campaign 15, 2008 This New Representative joined Leadership and got her first recruit in C11. She met the 3 – performance requirements to earn the Fast Start Bonus in C14, earning $200. She advanced her title to Unit Leader in C14 and will received her first Leadership Bonus in C15!

I am sure she was focused on getting the Fast Start bonus and delivering her largest personal order in C14 which affected her follow-up with her Downline. The success story here is Jane recruited 7 in her first four campaigns and she was able to sell $1,846 in her first six campaigns.

26. Understanding Inertia When you start to build your Avon Downline, you will experience a lot of inertia. Only if and when you move through that inertia will you experience the true value and rewards of being a successful Unit Leader. Inertia and getting started is like pushing a stalled car. It takes a lot of effort to get the car moving. Once in motion, however, little energy is required to keep it moving. It is possible to push your group’s size and activity through its inertia and into momentum in a way that is so powerful your sales organization’s sustained growth continues regardless of what you do. It’s call massive action. Massive Action is you hitting the ground running as soon as you find the first person to share Avon with. It takes time and a substantial effort, but once you find your leaders, your Downline momentum will grow into an incredible business unit, like many of our successful Executive Unit Leaders around the world.
