For a lot of us, the sound of a doorbell ringing triggers those words in the back of our minds, "Avon Calling . . . "
Stay at home moms of earlier generations, formerly known as "housewives" would open the door to a friendly neighbor with samples of all sorts of cosmetics in a wonderful array of colors and scents. Together the two women would go through the catalog checking to see if favorite items were on sale. The Avon Lady usually left at least one sample product.
You can still do that, you know. There are still product catalogs, and sales, and a lot more stuff in the catalogs than nail polish, lipstick, and Skin-So-Soft. The biggest difference is there are fewer stay at home moms as potential customers.
So what do you do? If you work outside the home, there are always your co-workers. If you have kids, try handing out catalogs at parent meetings, in the parking lot when you lick kids up, on the sideline at the soccer game, etc. If you go to church you could see if the ladies there are interested. If you sew or craft or quilt or scrapbook, all those people are potential customers.
This is one of those home based businesses where your success depends on many things including your personality, aptitude for sales, customer base, creativity, even location.
If on the other hand you really don't want to start a business, you just want a job you can do from home, may I suggest The Home Job Group.
