Is anyone an Avon representative? UK?

Question

can you tell me what it is like, what you do exactly, pros and cons, what is the money like etc??? Basically everything you know. Is it worthwhile?

Answer 1

hi

it is a slow starting business with some cash (but not much) up front

but as your network of friends/customers grows you can earn a lot more commision

it is an easy and nice way to make friends with your neighbours and people you meet each day (even if you are a mum in the school yard, you can offer them a brochure and get chatting)

personally you get to buy things at a discount price from the special brochures and in advance of when available to customers

good luck

Answer 2

Hi, I have been doing it for 3 years now. At the beggining i found it very difficult i spent hours talking to potential customers and trying to get orders only to get 1 order for a lipstick. The discount/ wage is very poor so unless you sell absolutley loads of stuff you cannot make much money at all.

I stopped door to door selling as it made me no money at all and just sold it to the people at work. I do it more for fun than money now as I usually buy more for myself than I sell therefore defeating the object.
