I am a consultant for motives, it is part of Market America. I think it is better than Avon because we carry alot more different items that everybody would want from wellness, nutrition, anti aging,cosmetics, websites etc.. It is a great opportunity. If you need more info, please feel free to contact me th3k121@yahoo.com

Hello, I am a real-estate agent and I can never have enough clients. Two ways that work well for me are BNI (Business Network International). BNI is a group you can easily find on line at www.bni.com, there are chapters all over the world and un-like chamber of commerce meetings it is a low “clique” environment and you are guaranteed to be the only Avon rep in the room. Also I use www.craigslist.org, it’s a free online classified site, you can post an add and see if anybody responds. You may have to try different title to get a response but its free. \n\nGood luck\n\nMichael O

It depends on the type of business you have chosen to go into. How powerful are the products? What is the pay structure? And most of all are you comfortable with the products? Do you really believe in what you are doing? How strong is the company your with?\nI am in MLM in sorts. take a look at mine, and see if yours compares to it. If it dosen't you may think aboooout changing companies.\nwww.5pillars.com/836645700

The hardest part about being a cashier is remembering to be polite and kind to everyone.  Everyone has bad days and we have to respect that as people that work in the customer service industry.  You get full training from anyone you choose to work for so its not as hard as you might think.  Remember to be trustworthy, temptation stares u in the face, and yes its green.  LOL   Good luck and GOD BLESS!

No I hate my job. My current position is extremely stressful with little or no chance of advancement. However I am also in the process of opening up my own business. It will be doing something that I not only enjoy immensely, but am very good at doing. It will probably be just as stressful but for different reasons. It is definitely scary jumping out there on your own, but if I fail, it will be no ones fault but my own and at least I say that I gave it a shot.

It was pretty hard for me at first, I was working 40+ hours at the time. I have changed my lifestyle drastically. Send me an email.

Now we are talking.  I was a telemarketing manager for a timeshare company.  This is by far one of the hardest jobs I can think of because all people want is for this profession to go away!  When I was training my sales reps I went be an easy format. F.R.E.S.H\nF=Friends-make friends with the person and find somthing you both have in common.\nR=Rebuttals-NEVER take no for an answer.  The average customer says no 4 times before they buy.\nE=Energy-If you dont have enthusiasm about selling, how do you expect them to be enthusiastic about buying.\nS=Script=Stick to the script.  It was designed to help you get the deal.\nH=Help-Ask for help if you need it.\nYou would be shocked at how succesfull some of these telemarking offices are.  But even though everyone hates them please try to at least be friendly, they are only doing there job.  ITS NOT AN EASY ONE!!!!

I'm not a rep yet but I have been doing my research this past week. I have an appointment with someone tmw. The website is around $7 per campaign.Its $15 per month. Some people say they do good with it but a lot of people have had it for months with only one hit. Whatever they do buy on your site tho, you get paid your 20-50%. Good luck with everything. If you ever want to talk to another new Avon lady, get ahold of me!

I used to sell Avon now I do Mary Kay the product is better easier to sell and I LOVE what I do.  If you LOVE Avon you can sell it because you will be excited.  I also recommend you stick with a consumable product because with Home Interior or Pampered Chef your repeat customers can only repeat so much and re-orders make for fantastic business!  ;)

I don't know what that perticular company does, but i did telemarketing for a little bit.\nit's pretty easy, you get to sit all day, working the computer is easy too, just typing in customers information, i got to eat and drink by my computer but i wouldn't know about that place.\nthe hardest thing about being a telemarketer is comming up with a pitch. basicly, write down the benifits and strech it out into a paragraph, and try to make it sound like a really awesome deal. a lot of times you won't be able to get through the first sentance though, because a lot of people will hang up or yell.also, we had a quota we had to meet, like say 2 sales an hour.\nI thought that it was kind of fun, some people get ridiculously upset that it's hard not to laugh. plus all the snacks and pop whenever i wanted.

I teach skin care and cosmetics as an Independent Beauty Consultant. I am in a company that is based on the Golden Rule, prasing people to success, and putting your faith first, family second, and career third. I am excited to inspire beauty and enrich lives with every woman I share the product and the business opportunity with. The company is the number one skin care and cosmetics company in America. There are more women making over six figures as business owners in this company than any other company in the world. I wouldn't want to work for anyone but myself and I am glad that I am in business for myself but not by myself.

hard work and a great agent. You should probably even go to classes for it first to have an edge but I've heard it's a very hard business to get into if you don't sound unique.

It all depends on if you want to do this for a living or not.  If so, there ARE classes you can take to teach you, but there's NO certification saying that you're a true makeup artist.  I have been doing makeup since being a little girl and I feel I do not need makeup classes, but if you feel like you do, getting that little peice of paper will help you get into pro makeup stores (MAC has a MAC PRO makeup club that gets you 40% off makeup).  But the only thing you can do is work with models doing TFP (time for prints, meaning you'll have to do it for free until you can get your name out there), and you can find models on onemodelplace.com or modelmayhem.com who'll be your guinea pigs.  This is time consuming, but almost necessary to get paying jobs.  After that I suggest getting a comp card and handing them out to get your name out there (comp card=business card but for models and MUA's), and depending on your level of talent, you'll see how fast you get somewhere!

You'll never know unless you try!! Go online and try and hunt down how you apply there. Do you live close? Show up at their HR office and ask!! If nothing else, you could maybe get a job dressing up as Mickey or something! I think that would be great fun! LOL

Not from NI but have spent some time working in Security.  CTV security can be very boring but enjoyable if tracking someone, industrial can cover a multitude of jobs and I haven't tried retail.  Security companies will place you in the crapiest jobs first and then leave it up to you to prove yourself and then approach them for a move to a better position.  Some companies will put you into prestige jobs straight away depending on your experience and stature, but these can be few and far between.  Some of these jobs can be very rewarding as long as you are prepared to put yourself forward with suggestions for improvement, but don't step out of line as they will get rid of you before you can blink.  Hope this is of some use!!!
