Allow me to tell you a few reason why I love AVON and having my own AVON business. 

FLEXIBILITY - I get to arrange my schedule around how I want my day to go.  If I want or need to do something with the kids, I do it.  I don't have to worry about the boss getting mad about my need to take time off.  I am the boss.

CONVENIENCE - Having the ability to do a huge portion of my work for my AVON business online is fantastic.  I don't have to keep up with every single slip of paper with orders on it because with just a few clicks, it's on the computer waiting for me to submit it along with the others on my order day.  Then, it is delivered right to my door.  Working in one's pjs is great!

KNOWLEDGE - I don't have to try to remember everything there is to know about the AVON products (and it's a lot), because it's all right there on the computer.  If I don't know the answer to something, I can usually find it on my representative website.  If it is not there, no sweat.  I have several other resources to get the answers I need from, including my upline, my distric sales manager, and the AVON representative help desk.

SUPPORT - I may be in business for myself, but I am not alone in this venture.  I have the support of my team leaders, my district sales manager, and the company of AVON; right up to the CEO of AVON.  No, really.  We representatives are not low person on the totem pole.  AVON, the company, knows that we independent representatives are the backbone of the company.  Therefore, they listen to what we have to say and do their best to accomodate our needs.  They also reward us for our efforts (more on that later).

Of course, MONEY - AVON is not a get rich quick type of business.  You do have to work to build your business and your customer base.  However, you get rewarded for that.  The more dedicated you are to building and increasing your business, the more you will benefit.

 Those REWARDS I told you about - When was the last time your company said "Job well done!  Take a trip on the company."  Well, AVON does that every year.  Yes, I did say EVERY YEAR!  The Caribbean....Bahamas...stateside... Where will it be next year?  Join us and you can also have a trip on AVON?
