Selling Avon Pros

PRO: Get Started for $30 + Receive a FREE Gift

When you think of starting any business, you have to invest in the start up cost. This may include rent for your store/business to run from, products you are going to sell, equipment you may need to run your business and any other expenses you may need to pay upfront prior to even opening your doors for business. With an Avon business, you are able to start with a small invest of $30. Your small investment will give you everything you need to start a successful Avon business including FREE online store for customers across the U.S. to shop from.

PRO: No Sales Cap

With Avon’s earning chart, the more you sell & grow your team, the more you will earn. There is no cap in how much you can earn in Avon sales or leadership.

On top of your normal sales & leadership earnings you can earn even more with Avon incentives such as FREE trips, cash bonuses, FREE prizes and more.

For more information on Avon earnings opportunities, check out Avon Training: How to Earn Money with Avon.

PRO: You Are Not in This Alone

Starting any business can be scary and nerve wracking. What helped me the most when I started my business was the amazing support system I had access to. When you register as an Avon representative, you will be assigned a mentor. This will be your go to person who will help support & guide you as you start and grow your business.

Representatives on my team receive training emails personally from me as well as opportunities to meet whenever you may need the extra help. If you have any questions or concerns along the way, I am available to you via text or email. 

On top of receiving support from your mentor, you can find a wide variety of resources online from other representatives such as YouTube videos, blogs and Facebook Groups.

You can find a variety of tips and training blogs right here on my website!

PRO: FREE Training & Web Office

As an Avon representative, you will have access to your personal youravon.com. This is where you will be able to enjoy your FREE training as well as tools to help you manage your business. Avon U offers mini courses where you can learn how to grow and manage your business at your own pace. You can learn as much or as little as you feel is necessary.

PRO: You are the Boss!

You have control on how, when & where you run your business. You can create your very own home based business that fits around your schedule. With no sales or party requirements like other direct selling companies, you are able to create a business that best fits your personality & your lifestyle. Actually, it is recommended to work your business into your life! Have a full time job? Share your brochures with coworkers or leave a few in the break room. Are you a soccer mom? Talk to other moms about your business and share samples for them to try on the spot. Travel alot? Leave business cards and brochures everywhere you go. It is amazing how easy you can work your Avon business right into your life and earn money while doing it.

Selling Avon Cons

CON: It is NOT a Get Rich Quick Scheme

I’m sure you are wondering how is this a con? This is actually one of the biggest complaints from ex-representatives who were expecting to get rich in a short amount of time. There are representatives who earn over 6 figures, however, it took time & effort to get to where they are.

Currently, Avon is offering a way to help *NEW* representatives create a solid foundation for their Avon business with the Kickstart Incentive program. It is designed to not only show the earnings potential that is available to them with a successful Avon business but also provide them a way to have a solid base financially to work with. The Kickstart incentive consists of 3 components:

1. Sales Component: Earn 40% on ALL sales when you meet your campaign sales goal.
2. Recruitment Component: Receive $50 Recruitment Bonus for each qualified *NEW* recruit
3. Bonus Component: Meet all 7 sales goals & have 3 qualified *NEW* recruits for a $200 bonus.

If you meet you each of the components, you will earn over $1000 in your firs t 90 days. What could you do with an extra $1000 right now?

CON: Competition

Just like with any business you will encounter “competition”. As an Avon representative, this can mean other representatives in your local area, other direct selling companies or even stores. Avon offers a wide variety of products including beauty, fashion, jewelry, home decor and more. So this will obviously open the door for competition. Avon is a well known brand that provides quality products. By providing excellent customer service and opportunities for people to try the products, your business will grow.

CON: You are the Boss

I know I mentioned this as a pro but if you think about it, this can be a con too! As a boss, you are in charge of your own motivation and work ethic towards your business. You won’t have anyone over you making sure you do what needs to be done to work your business. I recommend to all the representatives on my team to come up with a routine as soon as possible. Having a routine will help you stay on track and know what needs to be done on any given day.

To learn how to create a routine, check out Avon Training: Creating a Campaign Routine. 

CON: Ups & Downs

Just like with any business, or really anything in life, you will have ups & downs with your Avon business. There are slow periods just like with any business. But as long as you stay consistent and don’t give up your business will continue to grow and you will continue to earn money.

Final Thought…

As you can see the power is in your hands. If you are looking to start an Avon business to earn a certain amount of money, whether it is a little or a lot, it is going to be up to you to set goals, be consistent and keep at it. As I always say to my kids when they want something, “when there is a will, there’s a way”.
