What do you exactly do when your an avon representative?

[Rawr]

do you just have to go out and convince people to buy the products?....does anyone work as an avon representative? do you like working for them?

[ThreeDaysOfGrace]

Not really, you pretty much hand out books and people look through them and then they give you the numbers for what they want, and you order everything online. It gets sent to your house and then you baggage it all and hand it out ect. I use to help my mom with avon, but she quit because avon kept on skrewing up our orders and YOU have to pay to ship things back in order to get the right one. It'd be good for some extra money, but i wouldnt make a career or anything out of it.

you might as well give up

basically, its pretty easy.

you get sent the avon books and you get given a road/s or area, you deliver the books then collect them back at a set date. some people would have ordered something on the order form in the book, so then you go online and order all the products your customers have wrote down, then the products get delivered to your house, then you put them in bags and deliver them to the right people and collect money

I think u should be aware that in order to make money from Avon you need lots of orders... you have to pay for your catalogues, pay to place an order, pay for order forms, pay for any bags/stationary and paying Avon through HSBC comes at a cost. Also if you need to send anything back they expect you to pay for postage (if you don't send it back via the courier when your next order arrives). Also if you phone to speak to Avon they can hardly speak English!
Thats why I quit!

Yes I am a Unit Leader with Avon, and LOVE it! You don't really have to CONVINCE people to buy, as much as just let everyone you come into contact with KNOW you're an Avon Representative and it pretty much sells itself from there. I'll give you an example:

I'm in a mom's group and we were at a birthday party for one of the kids the other night. I was talking to two of the mom's (one of which has bought the bug guard from me, and I had asked her if she was out yet) and she turns around and says to the other mom "this is the Skin So Soft lady" and I started to laugh. Then the other mom was like "OHH you work for AVON?!" She got all excited! lol.

It's really just incorporating it into your everyday life, and that's the reason I love it.

You can also sell online, which I also do. LOVE learning about internet marketing and social media.

Ok so here's how it works:

Avon is sold through catalogs. Your brochure is your store. The brochures change every 2 weeks (we say campaigns). You make a commission on what you sell, and during your first four campaigns, you earn 40%.

Start by passing out brochures to all your friends and family (whether it be in person or online). They'll give you orders, and you'll put your first order in to Avon with NO money. When you get the products in, you will put them together for your customers, and when you deliver the order, that's when the customers pay you. When placing your second order, that's when you pay for your first one minus your profit. Avon will tell you how much to pay - you don't have to figure out anything on your own. That's pretty much it - and what I like about AVON is that there are no quotas you have to keep, no inventory to buy, and NO BOSS! Everything is up to you!

With AVON, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

To help you succeed, AVON provides:

-Unlimited earnings
-FREE online training
-eRepresentatives opportunities, your own Web page and much more! (FREE)
-Personal Growth, recognition and awards
-Avon Independent Sales Representative Savings Plan

How to get started:

Not sure where you live, BUT if you are interested in becoming an AVON Representative,and you live in my area (Haddon Twp., NJ) you can contact me (I'll put my information at the bottom). We will then go forth with meeting up and getting you signed up as a Rep. I will then be your "upline" as we call it. I will be your support, you can come to me with any questions you may have, I will teach you what I know and help you to succeed in your AVON career!

If you don't live within my area, you can go to Start.YourAvon.com and put in the reference code "JeffreyRichard" and you will be automatically connected to me. The account is under my husbands name, if you're wondering why it's JeffreyRichard.

How much does it cost?

It only costs $10 to get started if you sign up with me. If you sign up online, it's $20. (As of right now, it's only $10 to sign up online-this will end 9/20/11)

What you get when you sign up:

You will get everything you need for your first 2 campaigns when you sign up. You will get 10 brochures for your first campaign, and 10 for your second. You will also get an order book, information on getting started and finding customers. I give you a packet of information, tips and some other great things.

What you get if you sign up online:

You will get everything mentioned above, only your kit with your brochures and everything will come through the mail and the extra information I provide will be sent through a Welcome Email.

I also provide internet marketing training, including "How to create a Facebook Page," "How to edit tabs," "How to get fans" and much more to come!

Hope this helps, sorry it was so long lol.
