It's My Business!

There are so many get-rich schemes. Beware and hold on to your wallet! There are many home-based businesses selling all types of products. How do you know which one to choose? How do you know what to look for? How do you know if the products are really good without spending a fortune to find out? These are all legitimate concerns.

I have been an Avon District Sales Manager for almost 9 years and before that, I sold Avon for over 10 years. I speak from experience — if you have a vision and are determined to reach your goals, Avon can be the vehicle to get you there. Here are some reasons:

Avon is probably the lowest-cost business to start. “The cost of lunch could change your life!” is my motto. Only $10 to start! No inventory! No sales quotas! No stress!

Avon can give you financial freedom — in the Avon world there are hundreds of woman and some husband/wife teams earning a six-figure income. They have taken the career path … not only selling the products but sharing the opportunity through networking Avon to people everywhere.

Avon offers on-line training to all representatives. These courses are absolutely FREE and teach money management, the Beauty of Knowledge, the Power of 3, how to market your products, how to build your business and find new customers everywhere you go.

Avon representatives can have their own website and sell to family and friends all over the U.S.

Avon’s products are guaranteed 100%. If the customer is not happy, the representative can ask for credit and return the product to Avon.

Avon gives every new representative a credit line of at least $100 — (s)he orders the product, it is shipped directly to his/her door and (s)he pays the bill before submitting the next order.

Avon has products for every member of the family. The representative has giftable items, DVD’s, clothing, licensed products like Dora and Bob the Builder and many more items to entice the customers.

Avon’s SKINCARE is the BEST! The Research & Development Department is always finding new technology to combat the signs of aging. Our Clinical line takes the needle / pain / high cost / doctor’s visit out of having botox treatments, laser treatments, collagen injections, and thermal face lifts.

And best of all, the representative can earn anywhere from 20% to 50%, depending on how much time and effort (s)he puts into the business.

I was an Avon representative from 1978 to 1988. My sales put me in the top 10 of my district and made it possible to remodel my kitchen with brand new cupboards and appliances. Our Christmas presents were always Avon products … family and friends loved getting the holiday decorations and jewelry. My sons learned the benefits of hard work and enjoyed helping me tag my brochures and make deliveries. We made long lasting friendships with so many wonderful people.
