Avon Representatives

[phleb]

Are there any on here?
How much do they pay?
How do they pay?

I am asking because although i am interested, i do not want to ask them direct, as then they don't leave you alone, and pressure starts for you to join. Any info on here will be gratefully appreciated. x

"As soon as your Avon is delivered to your home you simply start delivering to your customers. You pay yourself as soon as you have done your deliveries collected your money from your customers & paid Avon, the cash thats left over is yours to spend!"

I've done this before but not for Avon. It reminds me of pyramid buying.

How much is a pyramid these days?

Postdog: For you, I'll sell one to you for £10,000.

In the days before Avon went online - you could make abit (not a lot unless you almost turned it full time).

Now I wouldn't bother.

Remember that you need to deduct your expenses to calculate your real earnings. If you've got lots of customers on the housing estate where you live you'll have to spend hardly anything at all on fuel. If you're in a rural area, with well spread out villages (and only one or two customers in each village) your gross earnings could quickly be eaten up by your fuel costs.

I was an Avon lady many years ago. I seem to remember we got about 30% on the sales. I stopped doing it as there was some pressure to keep same or increased sales each month.

my daughter is a rep and she does quite well compared to many, but from an outside point of view its seems a lot of hardwork/hassle for not a great return.
Another thing to take into account from what she has told me there are restrictions on canvassing for customers you have to stick to whats been given to you,or if you are approached by a customer. You are not allowed to door knock/leaflet drop in case you are on someone elses patch.

I know several people who have done this but eventually gave it up. There was a lot of work, a lot of pressure and the reward is just not worth it.
