strange new territory

and so i took the plunge, as far as my little side independent sales rep goes.  i signed up to be an e-representative, which means people can find me and place orders with me.  well, i didn't think anything would come of it, and was a trifle concerned about the 7.50 i pay for the service when BAM!

two new contacts in one day.  and one of them left a phone number, which i called, and son of a gun, i have a new customer.  YEAH!

if i seem a little excited, it's because i am.  it's the first opportunity i've really had to utilize my business admin degree and put anything i studied to practical use - if you don't count the courses in organizational behavior (which have been an immense help in the prison system).

and...it was a good thing to have happen after this past week. nothing bad happened to me, it was watching bad things happen to other people...and you wish you could help and can't.

maybe this new little side business will help in obtaining my get-out-of-jail-free card.

hope you all have a lovely, lovely weekend.  just think..fall is almost here.

Good luck in your side endeavor. Some people seem to really do well in Avon and I think you will be one of the ones. Paula

Hey, many, many years ago I used to sell Avon.  It's fun.  Must be great that it can be on the web now.  I can't do it right now but there are some items I'd love to order and if it can be on line then I might as well ask you to be my rep too. It will have to be next month though.  Have you done any flyers? passed out books? Hang a notice in some laundy places too..also the billboards in some food stores too.  Get your name out there and business will come to you my friend...Sandi
