1) How do I become an Avon Representative in the UK? The process is now simpler that it's ever been! And, by the way, actually being and Avon Representative is simpler than it's ever been too!
2) Do I have to drop Avon brochures around lots of houses?
Sometimes people will raise objections to me such as "all that trekking around picking up brochures....." well that is no longer the case! You can now sell your Avon products entirely online if that's what you prefer to do via your Avon online store and Avon instant brochures. Well of course if you want to drop brochures locally that is entirely up to you. Many many extremely successful Avon Representatives sell thousands of pounds worth of products every week doing just that, but Avon understand that isn't for everyone so you can literally sell Avon anywhere, anyhow and anytime
3) How do I sign up to Avon UK online? Well firstly you'll need to apply either online or to a local sales leader you know. You will then be contacted by an Avon Sales Leader who will ask you to fill in their recruitment form/application form. (The old Avon Area manager role no longer exists. It is solely self employed Avon sales leaders that recruit people into Avon UK now and they stay as their Upline so are there for your constant support should you need it)
4) Do I need to have anything to hand to prove my ID if I want to sign up to Avon UK? You will be asked to show your potential Avon up-line 2 forms of ID to prove that you are who you say you are. As this can now be done by video call and doesn't have to be in person so you can sign up literally anywhere!!
5) How do I get my own Personal Avon website? You will then complete the sign up with your new Avon up-line who will give you your Avon account number and help you set up your Avon online site, page and your Online Avon Shop and will explain to you how everything works. You will have that person's contact details so that you can go back to them anytime if you need anything or have any further questions.
5) Is there any training available from Avon to help me learn how to be a successful rep? Yes, we now have a fantastic rep learning hub with lots of bite sized training videos. It’s great fun and there is no ‘death by PowerPoint’ to worry labour!! In addition to this your upline is there to support you.
6) How do I choose which Avon starter kit is the best one for me? The next stage in the process will be that you will need to choose your Avon starter pack. Avon used to charge a £16 admin fee however they have done away with the start up fee and instead you now choose a starter pack. Which one you choose is entirely up to you. Make sure you choose the pack that works best for you. If you're on a really tight budget the £15 pack might be best for you because you have 2 weeks in which to pay for it so by the time it comes to pay you will have sold enough products to cover the cost.
Personally I love Avon's £30 pack. Over £90 worth of up to the minute Avon products with a tote bag plus all your necessary stationary. But you can see for yourself above the fabulous choice you have of Avon startup packs!
7) How long before I can start selling Avon once I've signed up as an Avon Rep? You can start selling Avon straight away!! Whilst you're waiting for your pack to arrive you can start sharing your Avon online brochure and your online Avon store. Plus as mentioned earlier Avon have now provided their reps with a fantastic learning hub. You can go on there and take all the amazing bite-sized training - So you might well have a ton of orders ready to go in before your startup pack even arrives!
All that remains after this is for you to wait for your starter pack to arrive and get sharing your brochures. It really is that simple!!
Happy Selling!!

... Natura are allegedly 'buying' Avon UK. This isn't strictly true. They are to become the majority shareholders in a deal that will be a huge boost to Avon. Shares have jumped since the news broke that Natura are getting involved.
So who is Natura?
Natura is a Brazilian company who until recently were South America's equivalent to Avon cosmetics.
In recent years Natura bought The Body Shop from L'Oreal (the body shop, like Avon, operate a network marketing arm.) and the networking side of that company is thriving under the umbrella of Natura.
Natura is committed to the network marketing business model and are committed to growing it's influence in this business. Natura is actually a perfect fit for Avon for this reason.
"In the know" people at Avon UK are actually very excited about this merger. Natura can source competitively priced ingredients to help Avon's laboratories produce even more competitively priced quality products. They are also a much younger company than Avon so have access to state of the art operations, websites etc.
The future is actually looking very exciting for all things Avon. Remember Avon is a household name and will never go out of fashion!!
So if you were thinking of getting on board as an Avon Rep. Now would be a good time to give us a go!!

So once you have applied to become an avon rep you should receive a phone call from your allocated sales leader within 24 hours but usually on the same day.
If he/she can’t get hold of you then he/she will probably send you a quick text and email and follow with another call later. After discussing with your sales leader what’s entailed they’ll send you the registration form. Once you’ve filled this in there will be a video call where your team leader will check 2 forms of ID. He/she will then give you more information and help you set up your Avon website. Once you’re registered online you can choose your starter pack. And that’s it!! Simple as that!
