Getting Started with Your Own Avon Business

If you are wondering how to make ends make in this economy, or you would rather work for yourself rather than someone else, then Avon could be the answer to your questions! What's that you say? You don't think you can sell? Of course you can! Just to be sure, here's a little test to see if Avon might be right for you:

1. Do you like to talk with people and/or help others?
2. Do you like Avon products (if you're not sure, check out a brochure and see if there's anything in there you might enjoy - even if you don't wear make-up)?

If you can answer yes (or even "maybe" or "sortof") to both questions, then you may be ready to learn more about the Avon opportunity! When I first started with Avon, I didn't think I could sell lemonade to a person lost in the desert! But, they had a cute costume that I wanted for my son and I realized I could get it at a discount...and since it is only $10 to sign up, I didn't have much to lose!

There are 3 types of Avon Representatives:

1. Those who make Avon their full-time job.
2. Those who make Avon a part-time job.
3. Those who are only interested in purchasing their own products at a discount.

Now, you probably already knew about #1 and #2, but you may not have realized that #3 was an option! But, that's exactly where I started! I wanted my own products at a discount, but since 10 books for each of my 1st 2 campaigns came with my kit, I decided to put them out at work. I was pleasantly surprised when I got those first few orders! Many people were glad to have an Avon lady in the building! After I attended the first sales meeting (these are not mandatory, but are certainly helpful), I got excited and began to see the real potential in this business! Now, I have made the dream of working from home full-time a reality!

What does all this mean for you? Well, my story is only one of the millions of lives who have been changed for the better by becoming an Avon representative! This is not some get-rich quick scheme, though. It will take work to earn money with this business. But, there are so many people ready to support you and help you succeed! Here are just a few of the benefits of having your own Avon business:

• Minimal start-up costs
• NO INVENTORY REQUIRED!!!
• Set your own hours - YOU decide how much YOU want to work!
• Complete support and training available for your sales success
• Sell through fund-raising efforts and parties IF YOU CHOOSE (not required)!

• Name recognition (everyone has heard of Avon, many have fond memories of the Avon Lady visiting their home when they were children) - The company has been around since 1886!
