Texting - Business Etiquette

Here is an excellent article by Lynn Huber regarding texting businesses!

8 Suggestions for Texting Anyone You Do Business With

Texting is a great tool for both business and personal use for many reasons.  It is quick, easy, and less disruptive than a phone call.

But if you’re not careful, it can also be disrespectful and unprofessional in the business world.

What’s considered acceptable when texting friends is very different than what is acceptable when texting business contacts. 

Here are some tips that are especially important while texting for your business:

1.  Before texting a customer or business partner, ask permission.  Make sure they are OK with it.  Not everybody is texting yet, or comfortable with it.

2.  Be careful about being totally focused on your phone while walking down the hall.  People may be hesitant to approach you because they don’t want to interrupt.

3.  Use proper grammar and punctuation, especially for business messages.  It is still important to be professional.

4.  Identify yourself in your text, especially if you aren’t positive that the other person has your cellphone in their contact list.

5.  Turn off audible text alerts, especially if you’re in a meeting.  If you’re expecting something important, switch your phone to vibrate and put it in your pocket.

6.  While it’s OK to confirm a meeting by text, it’s not a good idea to change one this way.  Not everyone is glued to their phones all the time and may not receive your message in time.

7.  Be respectful of other’s schedules.  Just because you’re awake don’t send someone a text in the middle of the night.  They might have their phone near their bed and you could wake them.

8.  Be sure to end your conversations.  Don’t leave the other person hanging, wondering if you’re going to answer.

For over forty years in my career in Corporate America, my life was scheduled: I had to be in the office at 8:00 AM and my lunch hours rarely varied.  I HAD to return on time within the hour because others were waiting for me to take their lunch hour.  I had to leave at 5:30 PM to fight the rush hour traffic from downtown Detroit.  Though I've always felt blessed I had been steadily employed for over forty years, I love working from home where I can sleep through rush hour traffic, schedule my lunch when want, make my appointments at my leisure, and I make the decision as to when I end my day!

Top Ten Reasons I love Working from Home! #1 I'm MY Own Boss

I've been working my Avon business for over four years now.  Prior to that I was employed for over forty years in the "traditional" work force at a Fortune 500 Company.

Through the years I've had good bosses and some not so good.  Actually horrid bosses to the point, though I was grateful to have a job,  I dreaded getting up and going to work.

I hated the often long commute during inclement weather (and in Michigan we have dreadful winters).

There hasn't been one day since I've worked my  Avon business full time, that I haven't enjoyed it!

Success in Leadership goes hand in hand with success in Sales. That's why I emphasize my philosophy of the Ds: With desire, drive, determination and diligence, your destiny ends up being dollars!

The key to selling is to know your product. When you use and wear products yourself, you will sell them! Customers pick up on your personal knowledge and can trust your recommendations. The best way to sell Avon fashion and jewelry is to wear it. You become an instant walking advertisement, which is such a quick and easy way to promote.With every new skin care or fragrance launch, I order the products and give a full-size to my best Customers. The result? Many times, they come back for more! When you invest in your business, you often get something back. Try it yourself when delivering orders– give Customers a free product, minis or samples. Give daily-needs items as gifts, since those are the kinds of products they can reorder. Plus, when they're using those products every day, it's a constant reminder of Avon!Constant communication is key to recruiting and retaining new and existing talent. I always let people know I sell Avon. From fund-raisers to various school and sporting events, my team and I spread the word about Avon. When people see how much I enjoy what I'm doing and learn about my success, it inspires them to sign up. Everywhere you go, and with everyone you come in contact with, talk AVON!

SCENT SENSE: this is a floral scent. Beautiful, feminine scent that evokes flowers.

The key to running an effective online store is digging deep into your audience’s needs and motivations. It’ll take a bit of work to get there, though. Luckily, the web offers a variety of resources for researching your audience.
  Some good places to start include forum sites, online communities, lifestyle magazines and social networks. Once you’ve collected enough information, you can start constructing profiles of your typical customers. Audience research is a crucial part of learning how to sell fragrances online.

2. Identify keywords that interest your market.

To gather an audience from search engines, you’ll want to identify keywords and phrases that customers might use to find you. Some examples might be “Christian Dior cologne,” “Calvin Klein perfume” and “fragrances for men.” Do some research using Google Analytics or another service to find out which keywords get the most traffic.
  Keyword research is a critical part of your SEO strategy. You’ll want to build content and meta-content around these keywords to bump your site up in the search rankings. SEO is another step on the road to learning how to sell fragrances online.

3. Create relationships with manufacturers.  We have award winning Avon products!

Buying wholesale is the best way to turn a profit when you sell direct to the consumer. Wholesale Central, Name Brands Perfume and Fragrance Wholesale are all good places to start your quest to find the right distribution partner.
  Contact the wholesalers directly to get pricing quotes. Compare wholesale prices to current market prices and calculate your profit per sale. Everything should come up roses. If it doesn’t, you may want to look into other options for distributors.

4. Choose the right shopping cart software.  We have this feature with our online webstore!

Of course, an online store is only as strong as the software that powers it. As you learn how to sell fragrances online, you’ll understand that your software platform is one of the most important parts of the experience.
 For instance, you’ll want to get set up with a shopping cart software that empowers you with easy social sharing. Email marketing will be a crucial part of promotion; your software should have simple ways to automate your email lists.  We have this feature, too, with Avon!
