Is it really worth it to become and Avon Representative...and which is better...Avon or Mary Kay?

If this is something you truly believe in then of course it is worth it. Anything that you to do will reap rewards because you will put your heart and soul into it. If this is not something you truly enjoy it will fall flat. I thought of selling Avon for extra money but I realized selling a product was not for me. I kept looking and I finally came across the home based business I'm in now. It generates great residual income and I am not selling a product. Best of all get to really help people and that is a great feeling. If you would like to look into this check my profile for information . Good Luck!

if you know you have customers mary kay is the way to go they take real good care of you but it is a full time job alot of work and you need money to start out. like over 100 dollars but mary kay is a great company i would love to do it but i already have a full time job i mean meetings, traveling all that, they provide cars tho lol good deal but you have to invest in to mary kay.... avon is just an extra money getter. if you know some people that will buy off of you go for it any extra money is always good/!

I think Avon and Mary Kay require a lot of work to sell the products. As well as there are a lot of consultants out there. You also generally carry a lot of inventory which can cost a lot of money. I'm a Purse Party consultant. Would you rather sell purses and jewelry???? No inventory to carry just a few samples!!!

I tried both along with Arbonne and the answer is no it is not worth it. You have to work your butt off and have a hugh client base to make any decent income. I did finally find a business that is worth it and has changed my financial future. go to www.workathomeunited.com/joanntal Don't waste your time trying the others, I already did that for you!

The job description to sell either of the products is to go keep approaching people. Nothing else. Both the products are good ones, but it depends on the people. Left to me, it is a burden to carry urself all the time, approach people, convince them and sell the product. But if u r really in need of money and want to take this up as a part time then its ok. But remember, u have to put in a lot of effort. May be u can take up both, and give a minimum discount to ur customers. for ex: if u get a 15% discoutn on the products as a representative, give a 5% to ur customers. Discounts given pass around like fire. When u have more customers, u can fix the discount rate. for ex: if a customer buys for some 50$ then give a 5$ off. all the best.

lots of ideas above, the downside is that you are selling to your family and friends. Some people will buy things they don't want or can not afford just because they know you. Later they will avoid meeting you because you are always trying to sell them something. If they have not much money, seeing you each time reminds them of that. sorry to be negative but this does happen.

It is your choice, Do you have $$$ to invest? Mary Kay wants big $ to start up and you might make 50% but it's all about the investment and do your friends, family and the community you live in have the $ to pay higher prices. Avon's prices on their cosmetics are usually lower than you can go to a store and buy. With Avon there is no stock to maintain, No parties and you do not have to go door to door! It is only $10 to start. If you wouldlike to learn more about Avon email me and I will get you more info about Avon. [email protected] Angee

I'm a man but based on my wife, sister in laws, my sister, woman I work with it's Avon. It may be a matter of location because around here ( Orange and Rockland counties in New York) you dont see or hear much about Mary Kay. Can you do both? Sell to Avon fans one week and then Mary Kay the next?

Worth what? I never understand that question because we are willing to spend money on a new suit put time and energy into a resume and job interview for a chance someone might hire you but we wouldn't work that hard for our own business without complaining. Do you want to change you current circumstances? Are you looking for a little extra cash or replacing a full time career? You need to decide first which product and company you believe in and second are you willing to work at it.
