If you would like to sell Avon and be in business for yourself, you have come to the right place. This is where you will find information on selling Avon as well as costs that might be associated with signing up.
If you don't know how to close the deal or make a sales pitch to sell Avon products, you can take the online route. Avon offers your cosmetics inventory up for sale on your own personal web site if you choose to participate in that sales program.
There are hundreds of ways to get the word out that you sell Avon. Many sales representatives choose to advertise their business aggressively (see Guerilla Marketing for some ideas). There are many sales techniques that will also be taught to you at your local Avon meetings if you choose to attend.
To sell Avon, you only need the desire to succeed. With products that have been in production for over 125 years, you can be certain that millions have sold Avon. The key to your sales success is you, your goals, and your desire to succeed in the business.
Q. Tell me about selling Avon as a career.
A career with Avon can be rewarding and lucrative. You work for yourself and out of your home. As you find customers, you will also notice that you will find people just like you: those who want to sell Avon for various reasons. If you sell Avon, then you have the ability to sign people up to sell Avon as well. You don't need anything special to do this. Avon prefers you take training, but does not make it a requirement. As you find more people that want to sell Avon, you build a team that now also makes you money. With the double income, from your sales and from your team when you become an official leader, you have the opportunity to make this business your full time career if you choose to do so.
Q. How much does it cost to start?
The initial sign up fee is $20. It is against the rules for any representative to waive that fee. The $20 pays for shipping and for the kit you will receive in the mail. It is well worth the twenty dollars!
Q. How much money will I make selling Avon?
This is a loaded question in the Avon (or any direct selling) business. The answer is relative to how motivated you are to sell Avon. If you feel you can sell $500 in your first campaign, you will make $250 for yourself. If you feel like you want to be a leader and your team sells well, you can make as much as you would like. There is not a limit to how much money you can make selling Avon.
Q. How do I sell Avon online?
If you sell cosmetics online, you know how lucrative it can be. Again, it depends on your motivation, but online sales also depend on your willingness to participate in social networking and how many people you can talk to while you are having fun. Avon charges a minimal fee to get what they call an e-rep web site from them (they do not allow sales on any other site for reps). The site is set up and your full catalog will be up for sale online as soon as you tell Avon you would like the site. Your customers can shop online and Avon will directly collect the money and ship the product to them, if you choose that route.
Q. I still need more information on selling Avon before I sign up.
