About 8 years ago I was a sales person in the furniture industry. I traveled all over the west side of Toronto as that was my territory for work. I loved my career but I was getting tired of travelling every day through heavy traffic across the city. At the same time, my husband John worked for the Ontario Government and was also travelling across the Province. Both of us were looking at changing our careers as it was getting hard to see each other during the week. If you have ever had to travel with your career you will know that, although staying in hotels sounds like fun, it really gets lonely. We both decided to rethink our time apart.
I loved my Avon and I always purchased from the same Avon Representative. I enjoyed opening up my order when I got home. It was just like getting Christmas gifts and spoiling myself. The problem was, every now and then when I picked up my order from my Representative, she would complain about not wanting to do the business anymore. It was in the back of my mind that one day I might not be able to purchase my favorite products any more.
One Friday afternoon as I arrived home, my husband told me "Your Avon is here". He told me he paid for it for me but the lady told him she didnt think she would be doing it for long. That was it. I said to John, "Why dont I sell Avon"? It seemed a logical idea to both of us. John liked that everyone knows Avon and he was so encouraging. He knew I could sell and he was totally convinced I could make a full time career out of it. I was so excited. I went straight to the phone and called Avon.
The district manager arrived in the next hour after calling and signed me up for my next career. She left me some brochures and I was off to having my own business, working my own hours and loving everything about it. I wished I had a leader like me at that time but I worked so hard it all worked out.
Since then I have made Presidents Club, Honours Club, DHM, Council(selling over 75,000)
and the the Prestigious V.I.P. Council(Selling over 100,000)
I am also proud to say I have a huge team of Representatives I have signed up and trained for their Avon careers and earn a paycheck from Avon every two weeks.
I have earned, money, trips, televisions, jewelry, gift certificates, awards and so much more. Avon takes us every year to our amazing Presidents Dinner where they honour us with style. Since I became an Avon Representative and Leader, my husband became a Councillor for the City of Oshawa so now with both of us having flexibility with our careers we can spend valuable time together. We have a partnership. I help him with anything he needs on council, like running his elections and he helps me with deliveries and my team whenever they need anything.
Thank you for taking the time today to read about my success with Avon and if you are interested and want to make your story happen, just let me know.
Teresa Aker,
Independent Sales Representative/ Council Member/ Leader with Avon.
