Mary Bertsch, Avon Rep Do you have a passion for beauty? Have you wondered how to become an Avon representative but don’t know if it’s right for you?
Let me tell you that when I became an Avon representative over 17 years ago, I had the same questions. What helped me start my successful Avon business?
It boiled down to three things. Let me explain this so that when you join Avon, you will know what you need to do so you can make money selling Avon.
3 Tips to Become an Avon Representative Successfully
Starting your own Avon direct sales business can be a daunting undertaking.
Especially when you become an Avon representative and work with people from all walks of life, it is important to follow my tips on starting an Avon business to succeed from the very start and succeed in this industry.
To find out if selling Avon is worth it, read my top 3 reasons to join this direct sales company.
1. Why is it Important to Love your Job?
Find Something You Love Doing – The key to success in any business venture is passion—finding something you love doing so much that it feels like play, even when you have deadlines and work-related worries.
If you can find this kind of enthusiasm, it will be easier for you to keep going through entrepreneurship’s inevitable ups and downs. With this motivation, you will have the drive to keep going.
Avon makes it easy to stay motivated by their many incentives for bonuses, free Avon products, and exclusive all-expense-paid trips. As a new representative, you also have the opportunity to earn these same unique gifts and trips.
2. Know What It Is You Want From Your Avon Business
In any direct sales business, especially when you become an Avon representative, you become your boss. Being the boss of your business gives you the leisure to work in your pajamas or jeans and decide when to work and how much time off to take.
You become your own “guru,” so to speak. For some people, this is the ideal situation. But for others, it may be challenging to get their arms around the idea of taking responsibility for every aspect of their lives and not having a boss to whom they are accountable.
For me, this was good as I love a challenge. Avon is the best work-from-home job. I set a business plan and goals and consistently worked hard.
If you know that direct selling is a good fit for who you are and what you want from life, check out how to become an Avon representative on my team.
3. Set your Goal and Plan your Work
Before you become an Avon representative, set your goal.
How much money do you want to make each month? Write down your goal and plan accordingly. You can share the Avon catalog with your friends and family to attain these sales goals. Remember, Avon is a well-known direct sales company, and everyone loves their iconic Skin So Soft, skincare regimens, and on-trend makeup products.
Want to reach the commission goal to earn 30%-50%? It’s possible to achieve this with a plan and goal.
Or do you want to start an Avon leadership team?
What is your vision of how successful you want to be in this business?
Take the time to contemplate what success will look like for you, and once you have a clear vision, write it!
Once you have created your Avon business plan, save it somewhere so that when you become an Avon representative, you’ll be right on track to becoming successful.
Why Becoming an Avon Rep is Right for You
Avon knows how to keep their representatives motivated and eager for more. They motivate their reps through the many incentives they offer, like bonuses, free products, or even exclusive all-expense-paid trips! It doesn’t matter if you’re a new Avon representative; these fantastic gifts are within your reach by achieving specific goals.
If you know what your goals are from day one as an Avon representative–whether they’re monetary or nonmonetary–and if you plan accordingly with a clear vision of how successful you want to become in this beauty industry, then chances are good that you’ll succeed at whatever level appeals most strongly to your interests and talents.
