New Venture

I haven't written for a while because I've been busy learning to become a salesperson.  That's right... you are looking at the newest Avon representative.  To some selling Avon might be a "old lady job" but I disagree... I am hoping it's the next step in me finding a full time job. 

I chose Avon because... well I could use the cash... but also because many of the jobs I'm applying for are entitled "Marketing & Communications Manager"... I have the communications part down, but I didn't go to school for marketing, in fact I ran from it like the plague!  But with Avon... if you don't market yourself, you don't make any money.... end of story.

When I was younger the last thing I ever wanted to be was a salesperson of any sort... partly because I refused to be like my dad (I was rebellious)... but also because I didn't want to be the person who had to wear the suit everyday and... it's just not me, I'm not a "stiff" person.  The problem is... those who make money... wear suits.  So I'll get a little more used to the idea, but until then I also have to work on my skills.

See, I don't like just going up to people, trying to convince them to use moisturizer or change lipstick... so I guess we will see just how successful I can be!  But I can be honest with people, telling them I am selling... hope that sweet and innocent can also sell.  The thing is I know I need to be more aggressive, more confident in myself... and I'm hoping this new endeavor will do just that!
