The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

While I focus a majority of my energy on my own Avon customers, I also have a small Avon team and we are known as Team Purrfection!  My current team came about organically – meaning I didn’t “recruit” them, they came to me to join my team for various reasons – two of them have never bought a single Avon item from me, one didn’t even know me personally.  Why do I tell you this?  To let you know that I am not the one you should be looking to for advice on how to build a gigantic team in a traditional way – I simply don’t operate that way…probably because I wasn’t recruited either.  *shrug*

Each day I highlight one item that is currently on sale – I will be gathering them all up and posting them each Sunday for easy consumption!

In mid-1996 I started my journey as an Avon lady.  I joined because I’d moved from California to Oregon and I was faced with the decision of finding a new (unknown to me) Avon lady or becoming one myself to get the discount on my own purchases.  If you know me, you know I’m all about deals, so I opted to become what we in the biz call a “personal shopper”, e.g., someone who becomes a rep to utilize the discount for their own purchases.
