AVON Values and Principles that Guide the Company

Time and again, Avon's five values and guiding principles have served as sources of strength for the company and still do today. Avon's values date back to its founding in 1886 and grew from BIRTH.

The Avon Values

Belief is the cornerstone of empowering Associates to assume responsibilities and be the very best they can be. Believe in someone — and show it — and that person will move mountains to prove you’re right.

Integrity should be the hallmark of every Avon Associate. In setting and observing the highest ethical standards and doing the right thing, we fulfill a duty of care, not only to our Representatives and customers in the communities we serve, but to our colleagues and ourselves.

Respect helps us to value differences, to appreciate each person for her or his unique qualities. Through respect, we help bring out the full potential of each person.

Trust means we want to live and work in an environment where communications are open — where people feel free to take risks, to share their points of view and to speak the truth as they see it. Trust people to do the right thing — and help them to understand your underlying reasoning and philosophy — and they won’t disappoint.

Humility simply means we’re not always right — we don’t have all the answers — and we know it. We’re no less human than the people who work for us, and we’re not afraid to ask for help.

Principles that Guide Avon

• To provide individuals an opportunity to earn in support of their well-being and happiness.
• To serve families throughout the world with products of the highest quality backed by a guarantee of satisfaction.
• To render a service to customers that is outstanding in its helpfulness and courtesy.
• To give full recognition to employees and Representatives, on whose contributions Avon depends.
• To share with others the rewards of growth and success.
• To meet fully the obligations of corporate citizenship by contributing to the well-being of society and the environment in which it functions.
• To maintain and cherish the friendly spirit of Avon.

Business Tips from AVON's First Rep, Mrs. Albee

Hey, beauties -- How about some words-of-wisdom to kick off your Monday! I, myself, am in need of a few inspirational words. I found these on Avon's beautyforapurpose.com and I believe they will be most helpful to everyone so, here we go!

Mrs. Persis Foster Eames Albee.

This New Hampshire lady, born in 1836, was known for her style and savvy, which attracted the attention of Avon founder David H. McConnell. He asked her to be the company’s first traveling salesperson, and the rest is history.

Whether you’re working to rise through the corporate ranks or are an entrepreneur about to launch the next great idea, we can all learn a thing (or five) from this one-woman powerhouse.

1. Take a leap of faith.
Call it the original startup. In 1886, Mrs. P.F.E. Albee took a risk and accepted an offer from founder David H. McConnell (then transitioning out of the book business) to work as a door-to-door salesperson for what was then called the California Perfume Company. “Mrs. Albee was one of the most successful General Agents I had in the book work, and it was in her hands I placed the first sample case, or outfit, in the perfume business,” McConnell wrote in 1903. Known for her genteel nature and voracious ambition, Albee traveled by horse-drawn wagon, train, or by foot, offering perfumes to those she encountered — talk about some serious hustle.

2. Have a game plan.
Her determination paid off, and Albee was soon hired to take over the daily operations of perfume sales. Of course, she went full throttle with her mission. Capitalizing on the growing popularity of perfume, she expanded her travels beyond her tiny New Hampshire town to the entire Northeast. Albee developed a business plan in which she recruited women to serve as “depot agents,” selling products in their own neighborhoods. “It is, therefore, only befitting that we give her the honorary title of Mother of the California Perfume Company,” McConnell wrote. The strategy was so successful it became one of the key identifiers of the company that’s still used today.

3. Love what you do.
Imagine this: A confident and in-control Albee wraps up one successful sale, and off she goes up the street to greet the next customer and close the next sale. Albee leaned in to her new gig, and the hard work paid off in all sectors of her life. In a letter to McConnell, she wrote, “I know of no line of work so lucrative, pleasant and satisfactory as this.”

4. Always dress for success.
Talk about power dressing! Much like she lived her life, Albee dressed with no fear, making style statement after statement in ensembles such as lavender taffeta gowns with tiered layers, exaggerated sleeves and look-at-me trains. A seasoned and stylish traveler, she saw no reason to dress down while on the road. In 2015 speak, her outfits went viral when the famously elegant attire later inspired a Mrs. P.F.E. Albee special edition Barbie.

5. Spread the love.
Albee’s enthusiasm was entirely contagious. As Avon’s first traveling saleswoman, she recruited other determined ladies to work for the company. In fact, Albee succeeded in empowering women by incorporating them into the mainstream business world 34 years before women even had the right to vote! One of the company’s first employees, Ann Meany, gave Albee a solid endorsement, writing in her memoirs: “She was about 60 in 1985 and was still making trips, working almost entirely under Mr. McConnell’s direction. She was the daughter of a minister and so sweet and lovely she deserves a whole volume just to herself.Today, Avon Representatives have really placed her on a pedestal – literally. Since 1969, the company has awarded highly coveted 10-inch tall porcelain figurines of Albee to the company’s top sales representatives. And yes, it’s still a Very Big Deal to receive one.

The bottom line:
Albee’s story teaches us that no matter how big or small your dreams may be, go after them. In this age of self-starters, who knows where a little Albee-inspired ambition could take you.

Why Sell AVON?

Why sell Avon you ask?

Avon is one of the world's largest direct sellers. Being an Avon Representative means you’re selling an iconic global brand while running your own local business. With Avon, you are in business for yourself but not by yourself. Avon's field management, as well as your fellow Representatives, provide mentoring, training and support every step of the way.

Powerful Brand
Avon has a presence in countries around the world and enjoys 90% brand recognition in most major markets. With the company's incredible global reach, Avon Representatives sell four lipsticks every second. 

As an Avon Representative, you would have the chance to sell award-winning products from Avon's world-class R&D team. You'd have the opportunity to offer customers a broad range of products that appeal to a diverse consumer base. 

Compelling Earnings Opportunity
There are two ways to earn money as an Avon Representative: by selling products or - through the Sales Leadership program - by selling products while recruiting others. The higher your campaign (selling cycle) sales are, the greater the percentage you'll earn on those sales. Sales Leaders, Representatives who both sell and recruit, earn money based on their personal sales plus their recruits' sales, with a similar progressive earnings structure applied. 

Leading Technology 
Avon is innovating the direct-selling industry, enabling Representatives to run their businesses and maximize their earnings as never before. The company leverages the most advanced digital tools – on the Internet, social media and mobile technology - so a Representative's business integrates seamlessly with the way people today connect, share and shop. This enhances both the selling and shopping experiences. Avon’s direct-selling innovations include:

• Customized social media environments for Representatives to reach customers and other Representatives.
• A personalized eBrochure widget to ensure that customers are never more than a few clicks away from ordering, sharing the eBrochure with friends and creating a viral sensation.
• Online training and sales tools.
• A new application for Sales Leadership Representatives to more effectively monitor their Representatives’ orders.
• “Intelligent ordering,” which makes it easier for Representatives to place their orders with Avon and ensures that they receive special product offers that are relevant to them.
• A widget which lets Representatives embed the latest Avon TV advertisements and videos into their own social media platforms.

Avon is passionate about giving you technology that does not depersonalize your relationships with your customers, ensuring that the core element of our business is still at the heart of everything we do. The best way to describe selling for Avon? High tech, high touch, highly rewarding.

My AVON Story: My First Year as an AVON Rep

On January 11th, 2015 I signed up online to become an AVON Independent Sales Representative. Through my shyness, anxiety, and fear I somehow gained the courage to take a huge leap out of my comfort zone and complete the sign up process. It was easy enough to do and it didn't take long. After signing up, I told all of my family and friends about my new endeavor and was relieved to find support. Not only did I gain the support from my loved ones but also from the AVON Community online. There are online forums through your AVON account, full of tips and veterans willing to show you the ropes. There are also Facebook groups to join that welcome you again with more helpful advice. 

I threw myself into the AVON University Online Training Courses, desiring to master them all and soak up as much information as I possibly could to make a real go of this "AVON thing". My reason to start my AVON business? Honestly, it was to do something for myself. Sure, I have a lot for myself to do around the house with the kids and all, but I needed something for me. I'm sure a lot of Moms out there can relate to that! I also started my business because I wanted to earn a little bit of extra money and take advantage of the discount from being an AVON Rep to get some pretties for myself. I never really thought at first that I could turn my business into something truly profitable. That quickly changed as I learned more about selling AVON and I caught the bug to want to get my name out there and make some real money!

Before signing up, I looked into direct selling companies and of course AVON was high on the list. For starters, its legit. AVON has been around for almost 130 years.. they clearly are doing something right. Also, AVON has the lowest priced start up kit in the direct selling beauty industry. Only $15. The eStore that is provided to me to have customers shop on and get their orders delivered directly to them, is FREE. Always. The AVON Foundation that supports Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness, really means a lot to me. AVON is giving back in such a powerful and emotional way. And the Customer Service? I love it. If I have to call in about an issue or question I have, no matter whom I talk with, it always gets corrected and taken care of. They do not just write you off. You are not just a number to AVON --- you matter. Millions of Representatives have flourished, not only in a monetary value but on a personal level. 

That is where I have found myself. Family and friends have noticed --- I am confident. I am proud of AVON and what I am doing. I am proud of myself. I have my own business! It is fun, rewarding, and is a key part in defining who I am and what I am doing in my life. 

Since starting my own AVON business I am more outspoken. You have to be! The most interesting take on this for me is just how easy and naturally it came about. I have struggled my entire life with anxiety and depression. AVON has launched me out of my own shell and i'm becoming a strong and more independent woman. 

My hope is to continue to grow with my business and for those who are struggling with themselves in a way as I was... that they too can find that AVON can help them.  I truly feel this way. I was happy before AVON but with it, I am more.  You can be, too! It takes less than 5 minutes to get started and the excitement that fills you will just spill on to others!! I've met so many amazingly helpful and friendly people along the way. Every day there is something new and exciting waiting to share with the world. Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.
