It's hard to be an AVON dealer...

I know exactly what you mean because I used to sell AVON a couple of years ago, and I really didn't make any profit from it. I think there are certain people who are good at it because they are in a position where they are around a lot of women, or social circles, or businesses, that can afford to still spend a lot of money on beauty products. I was not one of those people, I love AVON, but like you, I was very unsuccessful at selling it.

Hi there, I am a Avon member and dealer since 2005 until now. Avon helped me a lot financially way back then. Until now I am using Avon products, I think I could make a good testimony about Avon. I love Avon perfumes, cosmetics, and skin & body care products. When selling, I make myself as an endorser for I have tested most of Avon products, and it looks good for me. Well with regards to payment, for me I tell my customer to pay first before getting their product or we are like switching on the spot like "you pay, I give the product right away".

I guess when doing something for money we should first do is ask ourselves if we really enjoy doing it. If we don't then that is not what we need to do since it will just make our lives miserable doing that. I guess making sales talk is not the thing for you so just enjoy using the products at least you will have discounts gatting them for your own personal use.

i agree. you really have to have a good customer base to make any money. my avon lady has 100 customers and does quite well.

I love being an Avon Rep but I think what makes it hard it tracking down folks to pay their bill. I have had a couple of instances where one didn't pay or we miss each other in trying to pay. Oh it is something. because of it, I couldn't pay and had to leave it at present but I plan to get back into it very soon. The products speak for themselves and it's universally known so it's not a hard sell just getting your stuff and getting it in.

Hi, pentagan12. Yes, many years ago this woman came to my in laws house to talk to me about Avon. And I had to pay $10.00 to start. I tried it out and it did not work for me either. I don't like talking to people and it was hard to get sales. I try to get an job where I don't have to do any selling or talking up front. I also don't like selling over the phones either. I am not made out to be a salesperson. My husband has this talent in him, but not me. I am kinda on the shy side. I do love the products that Avon has. My grandmother used to always buy our deodorant from Avon when we were younger. It was called, Feelin, Fresh. It is a great opportunity to make money with, but you have to know how to make great sales. I agree with you selling Avon can be very difficult.

I'm an Avon Rep and I find it easy to sell avon. Order some demos and show it to people and they will order and show them the big deals and give them samples. I also use avon products.

i try it but its very hard to find buyer in avon..lots of effort and sales talk..lol
