Old Avon

The Avon Guy

By

Conn Hutzell

So, what does a recently divorced, part-time art photographer, stay at home dad do to support himself and his sons when all is said and done?

My photography was doing ok but it just wasn’t generating the income I needed.  I still needed to be there for my kids and the whole school thing so going back into my old profession was not an option, too much time spent away.  Any part-time jobs I found were for either teenagers or retired folk and none could guarantee the hours I was looking for so that was also a dead end.

So, I scoured the Internet in search of a home business that I could start on the cheap yet generate an income that would keep us in the area, at least until the kids graduated high school, and hopefully beyond that. I found an overwhelming number of “home based” businesses that promised everything you needed to “know” to become successful in their business for a low starting cost of just $19.95.  But, read the fine print and you see things like ‘initial start up cost of $5,000 required for the business materials’ or ‘previous knowledge of real estate essential’ or ‘PHD in Astrophysics helpful’ … WHAT!?

Then it happened.  Driving the kids back from school one day I saw a sign that said “Start the American Dream for only $10.  AVON”!  Yeah, right, I thought.  Being a guy, am I even allowed to get into this, would it be strange, how much crap am I going to get and a thousand other thought’s started popping into my head!  I figured I had nothing to lose so I hopped online to check out the company and see if I could get my questions answered.  I found that it was only $10 to start and that while being a guy Avon rep. wasn’t that common yet, it wasn’t unusual either. I looked at the percentages, possible income, setting my own hours and products.  Initially I really didn’t look into the company, didn’t need to, who hasn’t heard of AVON, right?  I did look into the company after a while and was amazed: 120+ years in business, huge research facility with leading edge technology, partnerships with some of the best known brands on earth and a name that is truly a part of Americana.  This wasn’t my mothers Avon!  I decided to jump in and go for it and become the newest Avon Representative. All I had to do was sign up online and I was contacted the following day about setting up an appointment. $10 dollars was all it took to get my start up kit and I was off and running!  And they even provided me with my own web site!

What’s it like? I get support through the phone and email, I’m starting to make money, I get the best products with unbelievable discounts, I get be around beautiful women all day long, I get to sign up others to be Avon Representatives and I am starting to gain a great reputation as the friendly man that sells Avon.  Yep, I’m … Conn the Avon Guy!
