4. Do I have to buy a lot of inventory?
No. You place orders every two weeks based on your customer orders. You only have to keep inventory if that is your choice. Sometimes when there is a good sale on my big sellers, I will stock up. Again, your choice.
5. Are Avon products hard to sell?
Avon has been in business for 130 years and is a well known brand of beauty products. It is not hard to sell products with that kind of reputation.
6. How much can I make selling Avon?
Your earnings match your efforts, and your passion. You have the opportunity to grow your earnings as you grow your sales. Build on your success by inviting people into the Avon business and earn on recruiting efforts and team sales. Your success is unlimited!
The sky is the limit. Avon puts no restrictions to the amount of money you can make. Here's the current earnings chart to give an idea of your earnings based on your order size:
7. How do I place orders and get paid?
When selling face-to-face, you can collect payment with your Customer's order or collect upon delivery, then place the order via your New Representative portal online. Products will be sent directly to you to then deliver to your Customers. ( you are given a line of credit for your first order and payment for that order are due the NEXT order, giving you time to collect and pay for products). You keep what's left as your paycheck. For your Customers ordering online, through direct delivery, you’ll receive payment and earnings through direct deposit – that’s it!
8. How can I be successful?
Building relationships is at the heart of our business. Whether it be face-to-face, or online, selling Avon gives you the opportunity to build on the relationships you already have – and help you create new ones. Add to that a love of beauty, a passion for success, and all the amazing support you receive when you become a Representative, and you’re on your way to unlimited rewards and success.
9. Can I be successful selling online only?
Yes! Avon is fully integrated in social media so there are tons of opportunities to promote your business through Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and more. Plus, Avon has its own mobile APP so you can connect with and grow your client base from your smart phone to make money any time, anywhere! I was selling Avon while on a cruise thanks to my eStore that is open 24/7!
10. What is direct selling?
It’s about direct contact with your customers, being your own boss, and having your own business. You can work independently, or with a team. You can work from home and create the work/life balance that’s just right for you and your family. However you choose to sell you’ll be part of a warm, welcoming community of people and beauty lovers just like you.
