Does anyone else sell AVON...or have you in the past?

I starting selling a few months back. I dnt get much with it though...I only mostly sell to family and friends sonce I live ina small town there are not many buyers. I have had many bad experiences wiht them already though. I have had leaked bottles when shipping out and twice stuff has been ruined and I have also had many missing items. The distract manager who came out to first get me started was also very rude and lied to me about my earnings and so forth she did not tell me about the hidden details. I was very upset with this however i decided to stay with it even thoguh its just a small time job for me

I'm glad you asked. Yes...I sell AVON. And...I a guy. A married guy. (I started selling AVON years before I met the woman who became my wife.) I didn't start selling AVON to get a discount on make-up (like most guys, I don't use it). I became a rep for the business aspect of it. AVON is a well known and well liked line of products. One of the keys to success is to always have a couple of catalogs with you and to not be shy about offering them to people. You never know when you're going to meet somebody who is looking for an AVON rep. (About a month ago a bus driver took a catalog and business card and has place 3 orders so far at my representative website.) You also want to be sure to ask friends, neighbors, customers, and such if they can think of anybody who might like to look at a brochure. From time to time you might find somebody who has lots of co-workers who want to buy AVON products...and not just at Christmas time. You never can tell what products can become in high demand for certain customers. I have people who buy lots of roll-ons, or lots of vita moist products, or lots of certain shades of make-up when they are on sale. Sale is a key word. Always let your customers know when there are great bargains. They will appreciate your saving them money on products they really want. I wish you great success for years to come.

I sold AVON 4 years ago when i was still working abroad... and i must say that i made a lot of money out of that... the place where i worked only had the Navy Exchange where we can buy clothes and other stuff... and most of them were not that nice... so i had a lot of customers from different nationalities... and my order would always consist of two large boxes every other week... Sad to say that my contract ended and i opted not to renew it... here in my country there is also an AVON business but the competition is quite tough... so i decided not to venture into that business anymore...

I love selling Avon, its so much fun. I started selling in February, and just now have started treating it like a real business. I say keep trying! It does take a long time to build your customer base, especially when you don't know very many people. Have you joined any Avon groups online? There are a few really good ones with great information to help you. A few groups that I recommend are: cosmetichomebiz.proboards.com avoncanada.proboards.com cafemom.com/group/345 There are so many Avon reps helping each other out.

I did ir was about 30yrs ago but I havent had got back to selling it again I really like selling it was fun. cd

I did tried last 7 years ago but not that easy as there lot of competition, but still using my membership on buying items for myself and family because I do get 20percent off on every total purchase.

I sold AVON in the past, when my kids were little. I did okay, except that the people who wanted to buy it were the ones with the least money to spend. I felt badly tempting them that way. I took a lot of bad checks. I am not a well organized sales person. The products continue to be high quality and are good values when featured on sale.I know a lot of people sell AVON online, I have not bought any in years. My niece says I should get some of the Curves rocker bottom tennis shoes. I just have not looked online and do not have an AVON person I deal with locally.

I used to be a franchise dealer when I was in college. Selling AVON products helped me with my school miscellaneous fees. I enjoy selling AVON because I get a big profit. I had stopped only when I finished schooling. You gave me an idea of getting back to selling AVON products again. Thank you, waters1748!

This is so ironic..I am going to the local Avon office tomorrow to sign up with them to become a sales rep. They told me to simply bring 10.00 and that will get me started. Perhaps you can add me as a friend and we can commiserate about our success, or lack of. I don't have to many personal friends to buy from me and my plan is to buy a lot of catalogs and walk the neighborhood dropping them at peoples doors. Hope it works..I am looking for a sound way to make some extra money and making it on line just seems impossible..To many scams..At least Avon is a product that everyone knows and my feeling is that despite the economy, women are always going to buy make up and such..I hope I'm right..I'm curious to know what kink of money you made and like I said, we could talk and share experiences as to what works and what dosen't..Looking forward to hearing from you..PM me if you like, I will request to add you as a friend..joyce

I have been a part of AVON in the past but I am not into hard core selling. I am a member for personal use though if I have my brochure and other girls want to order something, i gladly accomodate it. Avon products are good, I have tried it myself. And as a member, I enjoy lower prices too!

I did about 30 year's ago. But I haven't sold avon since then. I have bought some but I haven't sold any for year's. It was some good quality stuff. Still is.
