So, I have decided not to be an Avon Independent Sales Representative anymore. (Wow, that was a mouthful.) It is really a lot of work and, as it turns out for me, a lot of trouble. I had a customer write me a hot check for twenty-four dollars. My bank charged me six dollars on top of that. It is so frustrating. Not only am I out that money, the customer is probably not going to pay, and if she pays at all it will not be in time for me to avoid a late fee on my payment. This job just did not turn out to be as great as I thought it would be. It turned out not to be great at all. I think in order to make any meaningful money it takes more time and energy than I have right now. Taking payments from people is awful for me as well. This is by far the worst case I have experienced but this particular customer is not the only one who has given me headaches when it comes to paying on time. I have merchandise here that people have ordered and not payed for. (If you are interested in discount product let me know.) As soon as I pay for this last campaign I'm out. Its a relief really. So, what did I learn from my foray into the world of cosmetic sales? Don't. Just don't.
