I’m changing things up with this blog post!
Last month I visited a local Avon outlet and met this wonderful lady, Sherilyn. No one was in her store so I started asking her about her Avon business. She was so energetic and I could tell she had a passion for what she was doing.
This post inspired me to share some things about Avon, as I believe the more we can help people like Sherilyn to live a passionate and fulfilling life, it will be a small part in contributing to all the people, including myself, that want to break free from the matrix, the corporate robot, cubicle and have the freedom in doing what we love.
One thing I did learn while talking to Sherilyn is that she didn’t have a good way to market herself and her work from home business to reach more people in our area or even on the internet. So I mentioned to her about our blogging platform and how she could ‘tell her story’ that would attract other women, relating to her, connecting and building her business in a much more effective way, leveraging the internet. I introduced her to Kalatu…and as you are reading this, considering becoming an Avon representative…you too, will want to have your own online ‘real estate’ and that is exactly what the Kalatu Brand Station blogging platform will provide.
Now let me share what I learned about Avon the Company, Career and Opportunity!
A Little History About Avon
Avon was initially founded in the year of 1886 by New York perfume salesman David H. McConnell. After discovering that women had a natural niche for sales, McConnell hired his first general agent who went by the name of Mrs Albee. The hiring of Mrs Albee resulted in the expansion of what is now one of the most prominent direct-selling beauty companies in history: the Avon that we all know and love today. For over 125 years Avon has been delivering women with not only the most reputable personal care products, but also the chance to become successful on their own terms and on their own time with Avon careers.
Becoming An Avon Representative
Bringing in a total of over 10 billion dollars in sales last year, Avon is constantly expanding and new representatives are being recruited daily as a result. Once a representative establishes their position with Avon careers, and is promoted to the level of a “Coordinator”, they are able to branch out into the Sales Leadership Program where they will be able to start building their own team and passing their skills onto others. Whether someone is looking for a part-time position to put some more spending money in their pocket, or they’re looking for a more stable flow of income, Avon careers conform to whatever your goals are, and whatever your schedule consists of. With Avon careers you are able make your own hours, and work from the comfort of your own home.
Work From Home With Avon
Avon careers are a great option for those who have a tight schedule but still have the desire or need for some extra income. Due to the flexibility of Avon careers, you are able to commit to as little or as much as you want in order to make it to work for you. You shouldn’t have to commit to something more than you are able to, and Avon careers make that effortlessly possible. Avon careers give representatives the freedom to choose how much time and dedication they want to spend on their Avon sales, and that freedom is what intrigues most into joining their gracious team.
Avon careers are also great for those who have an ample amount of time on their hands. With so many opportunities for expansion, those who are able to spend more time focusing on their sales have optimal chances to climb higher on the ladder in order to increase their income. The more prevalent and successful you become as a member of the Avon family, the higher the percentage is that you take home. This results in the ability to acquire quite a substantial amount of income with Avon careers. It is important to note that even if you do not know a lot of individuals who would be interested in Avon products, you still have a chance of being generously successful in your sales. Avon careers offer various networking options, including many online platforms for users to sell solely online, or even partially online to work from home.
Are You A Good Fit For Avon
While Avon careers are a great option for almost anyone looking for extra income, there are some who may not exactly be a good fit, or may not even be interested in the position entirely. Though Avon encourages everyone to give it a try no matter what their sales history is, the main component of Avon’s success has been built on the solid roots of passion. Women who sell Avon are passionate about their products, and want to share their knowledge and personal care products with others who would appreciate them as well. Even if one has an abundant amount of time to focus on their sales, if they aren’t passionate about the products that they are distributing, it may not be the correct fit for them. Avon careers cater to those who believe in the importance of beauty and the empowerment of women to work from home, so if someone is not partial to those values, they may want to seek an alternative option.
Avon Compensation
While working for Avon, representatives are compensated based on Avon’s Compensation Plan. The amount of money you take home from your sales depends on which campaign you are presently in. For instance, during your first campaign, you ordinarily bring in 40% of the total price of any core products you sell, and 20% of any fixed earnings products you sell. After your initial introductory period has passed, you are able to make up to 20-50% on sales depending on the total amount of revenue you brought in during that particular campaign period. That means that the more you network and sell, the more money you take home! As long as you have the opportunity to get your name out in the open, you have a great chance at making a sizable profit with Avon careers.
AND SPEAKING ABOUT GETTING YOUR NAME OUT THERE! Every Avon Representative should know how important leveraging the internet can be for the success of your Avon career. Blogging is the most important marketing tool and it is a must have. I want you to check out this platform, Kalatu The Brand Station…a simple way for you to share your story, connect with people, build your email list and then introduce them to your business, making sales, building team and having fun!
