| I am often surprised by the amount of angst | | | | I don't think I would still be selling Avon if my upline |
| produced while contemplating to sell Avon. In reality | | | | hadn't helped me as much as he did(does). I have |
| becoming an Avon representative isn't that big of a | | | | tried to do the same for my downline(people I signed |
| deal. You decide just how much or how little you do | | | | up). I really don't understand why someone would go |
| and if you don't feel like doing it any more, you just | | | | to all the effort to sign up a person to sell Avon and |
| quit. The risk is very low, just $10 to sign up($20 | | | | then not help them learn the ropes. I have signed |
| online to pay for shipping) and then whatever time | | | | people up that live thousands of miles away from |
| you spend doing it. Obviously there is effort and | | | | me, but have been ready and willing to help them. I |
| learning required, but Avon has done a good job of | | | | have even been on the phone with some as they |
| keeping it simple and working with us. | | | | submitted their first or even second order online! |
| I think the most important thing is getting signed up | | | | Ultimately, your success at selling Avon depends |
| under a good Avon rep. I have talked with some | | | | upon you. I have given the same amount or been |
| new reps. and they have felt abandoned by their | | | | willing to give the same amount of help to all Reps. I |
| upline(the person who signed them up). They call | | | | have signed up and the hardest workers and most |
| them with questions, but only get voice mail and | | | | determined have success. I have even signed up a |
| never have calls returned(we know that basically | | | | some who never even register their account with |
| everyone has caller ID, so people know when we | | | | Avon and try to sell! |
| called) and that get's discouraging to say the least. | | | | Avon isn't perfect and is just another money making |
| That's not to say that your upline must be available | | | | machine, buy hey, why rage against the machine |
| 24 hrs a day, but returning a call or email asap sure | | | | when you can join it! |
| helps! | | | | |
