Attended a great Leadership meeting today hosted by Dianne Ashmore, our Division Manager. I was thrilled to be accompanied by two of our SuperStar Partners, Unit Leader Terrie Perez and new Unit Leader Kristen Hoegenauer. It was a fun meeting, especially learning about some new research that will really make you think about presenting the Leadership opportunity to every new representative from the get-go! After the meeting, I treated Terrie & Kristen to a very fancy lunch . . . CiCi's Pizza, Baby! Yes, I spare no expense for my Partners!
Next time, won't you come too?

Say it with me . . . "WOOHOO!!"
Under the It Pays to Advance Leadership Title Movement incentive, Leadership Representatives across the country have earned thousands of dollars for advancing their Leadership title. And that's just the tip of their earnings potential as they continue to grow their Downline.
Have you earned the cash bonus you deserve?
To make sure that you have the opportunity to earn a cash bonus as you continue to strive to advance your title, we have extended the It Pays to Advance incentive through C-7 (TS C-9), 2008.
As the New Year opens and prospective and current Representatives consider how to pay their holiday bills and how to make 2008 their best year yet, you have the answer! You can provide your downline Representatives and your new Avon recruits the opportunity to earn rewards when advancing their Leadership title. There's no better way for you and your Downline to start the New Year!
Please click here to see a flyer that details how you can qualify to receive as much as $1,800 in cash bonuses by C-7 (TS C-9), 2008.
You'll want to print copies of this flyer to share with all new appointments that you make during the Campaign 1 through 7 timeframe. They will also have the opportunity to earn these rewards when they advance their title.
In early January, all Representatives will receive communications highlighting some of the great first quarter marketing offers to support them growing their sales and earnings.
Your success in 2008 is within your reach.
Happy Holidays!

UPDATE: WHAT'S NEW C-26
A Note on the Dermabrasion Samples
We want to clarify something about the trial-size samples of ANEW Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System offered in the C-26 What's New.
The sample is described as a "1-week trial." Some Customers have said that they aren't sure how the four (4) packets in the sample are supposed to be spread out over the course of a week.
Please let your Customers know that they should wait 2-3 days between packets to obtain the maximum effect. Following this regimen will run anywhere from a week to ten days.
BEAUTY ADVISORS MUST TAKE CLASS TO RETAIN TITLE
Take Online Course by January 31 or Lose Status
In order to retain their titles, Avon Beauty Advisors must complete the "Sell More with mark" course by January 31, 2008. The mark course will be available online on Monday, December 17 at The Beauty of Knowledge. Beauty Advisors must complete this course and the related assessment by January 31, 2008 to re-qualify as BAs.
Representatives who are not currently Beauty Advisors may become BAs by completing the seven courses listed under "Beauty" at The Beauty of Knowledge. Beauty Advisors are eligible for free monthly product bundles, such as the mark Party Kit.
You can also take the courses online at The Beauty of Knowledge. Dial-up users may prefer to order a $4 CD of the courses available here, and afterwards follow instructions to submit qualifying test results.

2008 AVON CALENDARS ARE IN
Beautiful -- and a Secret Weapon for Your Business
A giveaway calendar is an ad for your business that the Customer looks at every day. And this year's "Every Day a New Beginning" Calendar represents Avon and you in the best possible light, with a different, startlingly beautiful nature photograph for each month.
Order them now at YourAVON. They're priced low enough (pack of 10 for $5.35) that you can give at least your biggest Customers a freebie. Stamp your name and number on them for added selling power! The line number is 667-357.
AVON SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE APPROACHES!
The application deadline for both the Avon Representative Scholarship Program and the Avon President's Club Scholarship Program for Children and Grandchildren is February 1, 2008. Six weeks can fly by -- particularly busy ones like these -- so we're giving you this early warning. Don't miss these great scholarship opportunities for Representatives and President Club members' children and grandchildren! Details and applications here.
AVON IN THE NEWS
JETER ON THE EARLY SHOW. Dave Price interviewed Derek Jeter on the CBS Early Show on December 3. Price reminded the crowd that the World Series MVP and eight-time All-Star had "launched his very own cologne, Driven" on the show the year before, and "it became Avon's best-selling male fragrance of all time! Now he's back introducing another scent, really designed to be worn at night, called Driven Black..." Price and Jeter clowned a bit -- after Price suggested that Driven might make him more attractive to women, Jeter said, "If it helps you, it works" -- and talked up the new fragrance for the Early Show's estimated 3.2 million viewers. JETER TIVO ALERT! A segment with Derek Jeter talking about Driven Black will appear on "Access Hollywood" this Saturday, December 15. Consult your local listings for time and station.
AVON REPRESENTATIVE ON TODAY SHOW. Executive Unit Leader Julie Tierney appeared on NBC's Today Show on December 13. Julie represented Avon's participation in the Today Show Annual Holiday Toy Drive, and presented gifts for needy children to Matt Lauer "on behalf of five million Avon Representatives and 40,000 Avon Associates."
AVON REPRESENTATIVES ON SUZE ORMAN SHOW. 20 Representatives from Avon's Jersey Stars Division were in the audience for Suze Orman's TV special, "Your Money Your Life," which aired on December 11. During the show, Orman expressed her love for Avon and even gave a shout-out to the Jersey Stars Representatives.
GOOD IDEAS ARE ALL AROUND
The Representative Times runs really useful selling tips. But sometimes you can find them elsewhere, too. A write-in column in the Bedford (IN) Times-Mirror recently (Dec 12) printed a letter from "J.J.," who said that twice a year, her daughter and her friends accompanied an Avon Representative to their local nursing home "to do little makeovers" for the residents. "What a neat idea," responded Times-Mail reporter Barbie Jenkins. "Perhaps with a little planning, a few donations and a volunteer or two, this concept could be carried on locally."
It is a neat idea -- for getting your Avon business into a potentially lucrative new market. And it could also bring much pleasure to older people whose lives may not be so full and active as they once were. "The desire to look and smell nice doesn't end just because we age," said "J.J." Amen to that -- and if you as an Avon Representative can do well by doing good, isn't the very definition of "win-win"?

Tech Diff
I think it was Shakespeare who said, "What fresh hell is this?!?" I just discovered that any mail sent to my sellbeauty.biz address has not been getting to me for the past month! So here's a blanket apology to everyone who thinks I've been ignoring them! I'll be catching up on these messages as soon as I clear my head from the lovely painkillers I'm on from my dental work yesterday. I'm going back to bed now. Nighty night.
Tune in Alert!

Scoop from the LABC Group
We had our District Holiday Celebration/Sales meeting tonight. Our DM had information on the top products thru campaign 13 of 2008. Some of the items I remember are a Cynthia Rowley perfume, Reese Witherspoon will be on the cover of c12 and c13 will launch a Clinical Stretchmark Smoother. Also, C7 will launch the Ultimate Age Repair Day cream and eye cream.
Oooo! I'm very excited about Reese being on the cover. I've also heard that yours truly is back in the book for C3. I know I'm in the C3 What's New. You will barely recognize me because I've been PhotoShopped so much! No wrinkles, freckles or moles. And I have the prettiest, straight white teeth! Saved me thousands in cosmetic dentistry. Now if I could only have somebody PhotoShop me every day in real life.

Website
As you can see, I’ve discovered a way to post to my blog from anywhere! So when I have quick thoughts I can get them out there to you. I’m also going to re-vamp our team website. The D-vas page has gotten a little crowded, so this is what you will see soon . . .
D-vas page – general information
Sell page – sales recognition, ideas and tools for growing sales, product training, etc.
Share page – recruiting, prospecting and appointing info
Show page – retention, training and development info
Let me know what you think!
Zowie! Big sales in C25
Cheers to those of you who are having HUGE campaigns!
Irene Barrientos – brand new D-va!
Kristen Hoegenauer – having her first Fundraiser!
Robbie Jones – welcome back!
Rosalva Garcia – just made President’s Club!
Anne DiGiovanni – just made Unit Leader!
Martha Ramirez – pretty new D-va!
Cathy & Bill Jones – consistently strong!
Cindy Chapa – work those teachers, girl!

Sharing and Caring
Please keep a good thought in your heart for the daughter of Michelle Ward, one of our newest D-vas. She will be undergoing some medical tests on Monday.
There she goes . . .
Just got a call from Monica “Money Hustle” Harris. She’s always looking for new ways and places to sell her inventory. She likes to buy bundles of products and inexpensive cosmetic bags and tote bags from the Outlet and put them together in cute sets at great price points. She has been selling at a table at a fitness club and she was looking for other places. I suggested Cato and Dress Barn – I’ve don’t tables at both places before. I’ll report back with her results!

Somebody's listening
Nice! Just received this year's Holiday gift for President's Club members. Spoiler alert! If you haven't gotten yours yet and you want to be surprised, stop reading now!
Each year I have been a little disappointed that the recognition gifts were not really relevant to our modern dynamic business. I know it sounds like I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but it was really a concern about playing into a stereotype about Avon being an opportunity for your great grandmother.
So I was delighted to receive this chic little day planner! It's black with tan trim and has a shoulder strap. The outside pocket is large enough to carry 3 brochures ...just right for your daily Power of 3 practice.
This is just one of the many rewards for achieving President's Club. Are you tracking for PC?

If you are not sure where you are in the PC cycle, now is the time to find out! Don't wait until Campaign 4 or 5 to start paying attention. Always check out the President's Recognition statement on your invoice.
