Just wondered if anyone can help me with a dilemma...I have been selling Avon products for almost a year. I don't earn hardly anything and I don't like the way Avon exploits their reps but I have continued with it because I suffer from anxiety and mild agoraphobia and it has definitely helped with my confidence :-). However, recently I have become an animal rights campaigner and I have now discovered that Avon buy and use animal tested ingredients. This goes completely against all I believe in but I can't find anything to replace Avon. Not Betterware or Kleeneze and other products aren't door to door selling but are parties which aren't an option. I have tried to explore all avenues. I just don't know what to do and wondered if anyone could come up with any thoughts :-) It would be most appreciated.

Hi star2sparkle. Have you considered Body Shop? I friend of mine worked as a rep a couple of years ago, so I could ask her for more info if you want?

My friend sell Bodyshop, but they do prefer you to do parties. She refuses & has said she's not selling enough.

I am a rep for Phoenix Cards. I have always been a fan. They are lovely, cheap to buy & you do as little or as much as you like to promote them.

They are made in the UK & are from sustainable forests.

Hiya, I am a Bodyshop at Home consultant and whilst its true you will probably make more money by doing parties, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldnt continue to sell door to door as you currently do.

The company are brilliant to deal with, you are self employed so it is your business and everyone is really friendly and helpful. All your training can be done online and locally so you are never on your own.

Drop me an email with your phone number no committment and I promise no hard sell just the info you will need to make your own decision. jcforgetmenot@gmail.com

Hope this helps
Jax
