Don't Become A Disgruntled Beauty Representative

Don't Become A Disgruntled Beauty Representative

Just about everyone has heard a personal story about a new beauty representative ordering a ship load of products she couldn't afford, even taking out personal loans and expecting a quick return on her product. Frustration set in when sells didn't come quick enough, her husband became angry about the investment and she blamed everyone else for the products she now stores in her garage.

LADIES.... Mary Kay, Avon, Jafra and other home businesses are not GET RICH QUICK PLANS, regardless of what you're told by the representative that is trying to recruit you into the business. Unfortunately a small hand-full of recruiters don't always represent the company or conduct business in an ethical manner. A potential beauty representative should be counseled on minimum inventory requirements and other inventory options without making her believe success is only obtainable with a large inventory purchase.

There are many beauty representatives that are very successful rather quickly, but not everyone has the same drive and determination. Before becoming a beauty representative that requires inventory set realistic goals to determine exactly why you're entering into the business and determine what you want from the business and how you'll accomplish the task. Realistically think about the inventory options and determine if an initial investment before accumulating customers or orders is feasible for you, if not consider hosting a party or having someone host it for you to meet the minimum inventory requirements.

I originally became a beauty representative to socialize with other women and a large inventory was not an option for me, so a friend hosted a party which allowed me to place my first order. As a result, I wasn't stressed over the financial investment. I didn't worry that my products weren't selling quick enough and some of my customers became good friends.

Every one purchases the same starter kit for their business of choice and you will only get out of the business what you put in. Customers don't just fall in your lap, relatives aren't always receptive of your endeavors and you are the only one that knows what you can afford in inventory. If you're unsure about your decision to become a beauty representative attend a few meetings first, shadow your recruiter on a few parties, talk to other beauty representatives about the ups and downs of their business before deciding how much to spend on initial inventory. If you have the finances and the potential customers go for it, but if you don't have much contact with many women and you don't know if this business is going to work for you, have a party first and go from there. You can still be a successful beauty representative starting with minimum inventory. I believe the bottom line for everyone involved should be to build a strong team, which will in return produce income for all involved.

Exercising common sense with the financial aspect of the business along with having fun and loving what you do will prevent you from becoming a disgruntled beauty representative with a ship load of products in your garage.

Pamper yourself, have fun and follow your dream!
