Cecelia Frederick - AVON

My Background:

I was born and raised in Lutherville, Maryland. I grew up in a wonderful family, with one sister and one brother.  We used to spend at least a week each summer at Ocean City, MD- thus came my love of the water.  You can’t live near the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean and NOT love this place!

Today, I still make my home in Baltimore and I am raising my two sons.   I started selling Avon in January of 2004 and it all just clicked!  I love this company. 

I joined this business because:

I joined Avon initially as a way to make extra money.  I was (and still am) a single mom.  Although my job pays well, I wanted to offer myself and my boys a better life.  So, I joined Avon as a way to make more money and did it for us. 

What I didn’t realize when I joined was that I would fall in love with the company and the products- and literally become a “walking- talking- clothes- jewelry- skin care-fragrance and all other wearing Avon Lady!

Avon has helped me grow tremendously as a person.  Selling Avon has helped me become less shy, and step out of my comfort zone and achieve awards and honors that I never thought I could. 
  
Q: At what point in your business did you feel successful?  

I have had a few points in my AVON business where I have felt successful.  The first was when I realized I was in the top 8% of my district for sales. The second was when I was told that I was tied with one other woman in my District for most recruits in a 6 month period.  Another time, and probably the one that means the most, was when I won the Spirit of Avon award from my District Sales Manager.

I started the leadership part of my Avon business about 6 months after I started selling.  I love both aspects of my Avon business. I love the relationship I have with all my customers, but I also love the team building part of Avon.  I am a Unit Leader working on becoming an Advanced Unit leader and beyond- my goal some day is to become a Senior Executive Unit leader.  I have seen people I recruit go on and do very well with their Avon businesses and this makes me very happy.  I love being a leader and helping others to do what I have done. 

If you are thinking about a home based business, I can’t recommend Avon enough!  The company is strong and has been around for over 121 years.  The support that we as Independent Sales reps get from the parent company is phenomenal.  I know of no other company who places such focus and emphasis on national advertising in the media and magazines.  The Television, and magazine advertising that Avon does helps your sales grow and grow.  I don’t even have to do anything except offer them a catalog!  Avon is a household word- everyone knows of the quality, value, and of course the 100% satisfaction or your money back guarantee.
