Over the past two weeks, since starting AVON, I have got to know a few of the ladies who live in my street, just by putting the magazine through the door, they've seen me passing and said hi or I have introduced myself to them... which is great, as after living here for a year and meeting barely no neighbours, it has given me the chance to get to know a lot more people!
One of these customers, a really nice lady knocked on the door yesterday to ask for an extra catalogue to give to her sister - which is exactly the sort of extended selling opportunities that I like.
The funny part: It was at a slightly awkward moment, she knocked moments after I had been frying chicken, had just set off the smoke alarm, and was still busy flapping the teatowel beneath the alarm at the same time as trying to guard the newly fried chicken from being eaten by the kitten!
I gave my new friend/customer/neighbour the brochure and will pop by and see her on Monday!
Two phrases spring to mind:
"Fingers in too many pies!"
(RE: door answering/smoke alarm/cat and chicken)
and
"You reap what you sow"
(RE: putting in the effort will bring results!)
