In 2004, an Avon district manager gave Georgiana Haynes's sister an Avon catalog. She was considering being a representative, but decided it wasn't for her at the time. Georgiana, on the other hand, was interested right away when she saw the brochures at home--even though she was shy and unsure of how much Avon reps make. 'I went to the office of the district manager after school and asked him for more information about the business,' Georgiana told FirstforWomen.com. 'He said I was too young to start.' Since she didn't want to wait until her 18th birthday because she was eager to start putting money away for college, she wasn't going to let her age stop her.

'I asked my mom to come meet with him and open an account. For the first few months my Avon account was in her name, but I ran the business.' She got a training kit, and it was in there that she first laid eyes upon Donna Reed-Mitchell. An Avon rep hailing from Jamaica and living in New York City, just like Georgiana's family, she had created a million-dollar business. 'Her story made finding success with Avon more realistic. I didn't know other representatives or what the possibilities were.

Mitchell's background was so close to my mother's and that she was able to accomplish so much inspired me. Edisecure Xid 580 I Manual more. ' A few months before graduation, Georgiana got her first order from classmates and their relatives, totaling over $100. That cash went toward college supplies. When she turned 18, she officially took over the business from her mom.

That fall, she started pursuing her architecture degree, all while continuing to sell Avon. 'That period of my life was a good time to start a business because I was already in 'study mode.'

I reviewed Avon's training material at night and in between classes, and shared brochures with classmates, faculty, and staff on campus to build my customer base. In situations where I was too shy, I would leave brochures with my contact information in lobbies, lounges, and stores.' And because Georgiana was her own boss, she set her own hours and ran her business from her phone and computer. She wound up making between $100 and $200 a month on average. In 2009, she graduated with her bachelor's in architecture--and more than $20,000 of debt. But she works four days a week as an architectural designer, and two days a week plus evenings on her Avon business, which rakes in about half of what she earns from her full-time job.

She promotes Avon beauty products and clothes by showing them off on social media to shake that outdated image of what an Avon lady is. By April 2016, at age 29, Georgiana became completely debt-free. Now, she's headed to Tahiti, but not on her own dime.

'I won the trip in a raffle at Avon Repfest, a national conference for representatives.' It's not the first time she's won a prize through her lucrative side gig. 'I finally had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Reed-Mitchell in 2013. My local Avon division manager invited her as a speaker and held an incentive for winners to have lunch with her as the prize. I worked hard to make sure that I won!' Got a motivated high schooler at home?

Maybe selling Avon can pay her way through college.

305 0 88 Tanya, Welcome to selling Avon. I am an Avon Rep and I think that I can help. First and for most you need to get business cards this is what you hand anyone you come into contact with. You leave them in banks, doctors offices, libraries, ETC pretty much anywhere you go. Second, you need to take a few of the training course like the ones to get off the ground. I have taken almost all of them it is good information. Third, you need to know everything there is to know about your products.

Example the make up you need to know what kind of make up is sold (blush eye shadow etc) Fourth, WEAR IT! If you are wearing jewelry for example someone may ask you where did you get that from.

And your reply would be Avon. And then you can go on to say that there is a whole lot of different types of jewelry for every age group from kids to grandmothers would you like a book. I hope this helps you. It is hard at first but it does get better. Oh and one last major TIP: DO NOT PUT ORDERS IN UNTIL YOU HAVE AT LEAST HAVE OF THE COST FOR IT UP FRONT. This prevents you from having to return it if they no longer want it. 1 6 0 Wow, great suggestions here.

I know your question is a couple years old, yet comes up in the search, so I thought I'd leave a few more ideas. I just moved to a new area too. And not many places to go and share the brochures. So I'm going to work on reaching a bigger audience online. I have a fan page, a blog, and going to focus on reaching people in my targeted area with advertising that way.

I wrote a blog post with more ideas too: I just started up my avon blog again here: Hope that helps, Alecia. [deleted account] I have found accessing my online outlets is an awesome way to reach new customers.

I am online on facebook and I twitter so I make sure to mention my Avon business that way. Also, doing gift baskets for special holidays works for me as well. We just past Valentines Day and Mother's day is fast approaching!

It's SO easy to go to your husband's friends, coworkers, men at church, etc and say 'Hey! I've got an awesome deal for you!

You tell me how much you want to spend and I will put together a gift basket and I will even deliver it to her for you!' It saves them a trip to the store and hey, we as women know, most of them forget anyways! I also keep my returning customers birthdays and anniversaries on file along with the products they like most. Then I contact their husbands a campaign or two before the wife's special day and tell them the same thing! They really love it! 2 14 1 Hi, Tanya.

My name is Teri Shiflett and I've been selling AVON for a year and 3 months. I am a unit leader with 8 (9 when I sign her up this afternoon) in my downline.

I am usually in the top 10 of my district sales. I'm not saying this to brag in any way. I am telling you this that I have found in my experience that the best way to build your business is to 'talk about your business.'

While standing in line at the grocery - ask the ladies around you if they'd like a brochure. NEVER go anywhere without brochures. Zaitoon Ka Encyclopedia Urdu Pdf Library there.

Also, I did several fair-type events and got my name out there. The biggest thing I did though was get helpers. A helper (just in case you don't know) is someone that takes brochures and gets orders for you in return for a discount on their own purchases. I have four helpers right now and they average about $150 each, each campaign! I hope this helps a little. If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me or call me.
