What is it like being an Avon Rep?

Hi,

I am thinking of becoming an avon rep to boost my income and I was wondering what it is like? And if anyone has any tips or any other companies which are better?

Any help, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

  • I've been an Avon rep for a few years, I find it worthwhile but it's not a get rich quick thing

    The commission levels are 20-25% so if you have a lot of friends and family into make up you onto a winner, but if they are trying to cut spending in the new year you might find it more challenging

    The top reps, I'm talking 50 out of 160,000 are lucky to make £10k profit a yearsgo it really is only a part time wage. If your looking for more, have a read about sales leadership, building your team of avon reps, that's Avon's focus and where they are throwing the cash but it's not for everyone

    Feel free to PM me if you have any questions :)
