Avon: I don't do it for the money.

Exactly one year ago I got an e-mail from an old friend of mine asking me if I'd like to sell Avon.  I thought about it a little while, talked to my husband a bit, and after a little research I set up a meeting with her and my new manager to get started.  It was really easy.  After $10 and one hour, I had all my supplies and owned my own business.  I dove in head first distributing books to my friends, family, and neighbors and had over $200 in sales my very first campaign.  I started attending the local meetings and making new friends. 

I've always been bad at approaching new people.  When I meet someone new small talk has never come easily.  Avon has taught me to put myself out there more.  Talking to new, random people still is a challenge for me but I feel like once I get a conversation started I'm much more at ease.  I would stumble before suggesting Avon to new people, and now I find that I'm handing out brochures in obscure places like shoe stores.

I also love my job with Avon for the products.  I've gotten a wide array of skin care and make up products now that I never would have gotten for myself otherwise.  I'm getting more experimental too.  I never would have dreamed of wearing eye liner any color besides black or eye shadow outside of the natural brown selections.  Never ever would I have been a red lipstick gal.  Now I wear my red lipstick, purple eye liner, and pink eye shadow (not all together mind you) with pride!

Avon has boosted my confidence, my self esteem, and my ability to meet new people.  The added income is nice, but I love my job for all of the perks that have come along with it.  I look forward to building a team of women to work with me so that I can give these great gifts to them too.  I hope to have many more years as an Avon lady!
