Avon Advice: Need to get out gracefully. I was wrong! Can't be with all these women. HELP!?

Last week, a woman who just happens to be a close friend of my BOSS, recruited me to sell Avon So, looking for a way to earn money part-time, I signed up. After signing up, I was given a bunch of samples. They bombed on my skin, causing major welts and breakouts. In doing further research, I found that aside from their anti-aging products, their makeup, etc. do not have the best reputation. That is ONE thing that makes me ashamed to sell Avon.





The 2nd drawback is the ordering process on their web site. It is highly convoluted, and I do not want to embarrass myself in front of my list of friends by sending them there to buy. Avon will not allow anyone to sell online except on the Avon site. The 3rd drawback is that unless I make a certain profit on the web site, and I ONLY want to sell on the web, I will not receive money-just credit for more Avon product.





Also, most of the people I know are not Avon types. I know I should have researched all of this before. Help!!!Avon Advice: Need to get out gracefully. I was wrong! Can't be with all these women. HELP!?
If you want out gracefully simply be honest and tell the person that you discovered you are getting allergic reactions to the products. Nobody in their right mind will want you selling their products while you are covered in rashes! They will certainly understand why you want out and they will probably hope that you don't mention it to anyone.Avon Advice: Need to get out gracefully. I was wrong! Can't be with all these women.

My wife has been selling Avon for many years. She has a website and we have not heard any complaints at all about the order process being ';convoluted'; as you say. Most of her regular clients like the website because they can order anytime they get the urge and do not have to wait for a decent hour to pick up the phone and call.


I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say you will only get credit for more Avon product for website sales. There has to be a way for Avon to balance their books by paying reps that sell exclusively on the web. You earn a commission on every sale, and commissions have to paid to balance the books. I think you probably need to ask the right questions of the right people to get the real answer to that situation.


Avon is like any other employer. All you need to do is let them know it is not for you. Avon is definitely not for everyone, especially if your skin can not tolerate the products. I would call your District Rep and tell her that you gave it a try and you have come to conclusion that this is not the right opportunity for you.


Good Luck to you in whatever you do.
