Here in the philippines you can see on the tv ads women giving their testimonies that they get rich by joining avon. I don't know but im not convinced, i try registering on many direct selling companies like natasha, boardwalk, fullerlife but i can't feel that im earning on the 25% discount they gave on their delears because before i can get the order of my customers i need to take a ride and pay for my fare plus need to deliver the products on their houses then if they can't pay me on the due date i will be the one to suffer....sigh...Did it happen to you??

I just read in a magazine about a woman who is turning over a million a year by working for Avon. She has worked her way up to be a manager and she has done so well, the company have just presented her with a brand new car (can't remember the make-well I am female, I remember the colour!!)because she has worked so hard. It took hard work to build up but she is there now and doing brilliantly. Good for her I say!

Why don't you give it a try? I have some friends who succeeded in this business and they make a fortune out of it. Just stick this in mind, success is not based on luck or magic. It's all about working and achieving your dreams. Go assess the needs of your buyers and sell them what they need. It's effective to sell it to the person who needs it badly rather than selling it to many people who doesn't need it.

Why don't you give it a try? You might end up hitting a jackpot. I know of somebody who makes a living in direct selling marketing and it's paying them big bucks. It's all in a matter of working hard and using the salesman magic.

Hi garneta! Ive been a member of many direct selling companies before as well like avon, tupperware, JC MArtin, Boston Shoes, Forever Living Products etc. and sad to say, none of them make me rich. Yes, ive known many individuals who get rich with this kind of business but i think its not for all like the other businesses ive known. I made up my mind that each of us has his or her own niche. Though two people may have the same business, same location etc. one might become successful and the other one might fail. We have our own career and success path so we better look for them no matter how many times we failed. Good night!

I have heard a lot of testimonies, not only from Avon company but a lot more on other Direct Selling companies. It was really sacrifice and you need to be bold in pursuing a good career if you wanted to be on top. You need a lot of effort on selling, on your direct referrals and as what you have said, it will really involve deliveries of items to your customers. It is really hard work but you need to go through it like most direct sellers do. Rich? hmm, i don't know, probably you can say just enough to cover the expenses and reaching your goal on a step by step basis. You don't go on a certain level without going through the lowest level. I and my family also are into Direct Selling. It really needs time to see the fruit of your labor.

i been at your situation before, it kinda feel want to give up from doing direct sale and start thinking in negative path. This happened is because we are standing in the critical stage. However, i wake up my self after reading some motivation books. In personally, i agree that when we want to success in any thing and we would go through the critical part 1st (meant some sorts of obstacles which caused us easily to give up in our self) but if we should have never give up spirit for go through this stage and after that, we will start to enjoy the brighten stage. All of these is just a process of life and we need to have a strong spirit to achieve our dreams and dont because of minor sacrifices to loose our dreams. Cheer up my friend .. i trust in and you can do it!!! Have a great day ^_^

Maybe, if you really want. Everybody has the same story. The question is what is the secret of getting rich? It is simple. You must work hard, be patient and get some luck. Is that a secret anymore? I think you cannot get rich by joining them you can only do it as your part time job. Being full time in this direct selling, It would be difficult because I know a lot of woman who are engage with this kind of business. It goes well but we don't know much our customers though we know them. Penalty makes the direct seller suffer from this situation.

There should be patience alongside those business ventures because we all know for a fact that its not instant money. Those testimonies made by those women maybe true or not. Its television, we do not know whats fake and the truth. But we could always try and venture out. The company are not promising any instant money, so they want their members to do real work on their products. I think with hard work and patience maybe in the near future, you can have what you want eventually.
