Please share your story, why/how you chose this business and what you like most about it. How has it changed your life?
I started selling Avon 10 years ago! I really love the variety of products and the fact that they are affordable. I really don't like selling via home parties so this gives me the opportunity to make some extra money, and not have to schedule home parties. Avon is a household name so it's very easy to sell! I have enjoyed taking advantage of the Beauty Advisor and image training Avon offers and love to do makeovers. I would encourge you to try Avon! It's easy and fun to sell, and it's only $10! I use Avon for Christmas shopping, birthday's, etc.
