Joining Thirty-one has been a blessing for both me and my family. I joined looking to just earn a little extra money to fill the gap of being a new stay at home mom. Thirty-one quickly became a fun hobby that helped me meet so many amazing people. The products are ones I personally use and love to gift to others. Personalization makes such a difference when gift giving and shows you took time to think of that person. Whether you are looking to save money on your own gifts or to earn extra money, I encourage you to consider the ease of Thirty-one Gifts!

I've been a consultant with The Pampered Chef for 2 years and amazed at all the benefits offered to us. I've been promoted 3 times and just earned my first incentive trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. Guess what? I am 98% VIRTUAL. Ask me about joining my team and let me help you earn extra income while working your own hours, in your timing and best of all...from your home or while you travel as this company goes with you anywhere!

AVON!!!! Speaks for itself, just lookl how old the company is and the success they have. No one can grow to this size having poor quality. As far as Busy Beane I'm honest as the day is long, hard working, and always putting others first.

I love Thirty-One! You will fall in love with bags but you will stay as a loyal customer or as a consultant for the mission and the sisterhood! Never believe in Direct Sales until I joined Thirty-One and I could never have imagined how it would change my life.

I'm loving my Avon business. I hated sales but for some reason, this comes very naturally for me. As a natural leader, I've been able to coach many other young ladies on the marketing aspect of direct sales. Thanks for having a site with all of them in one space!

My mom was an AVON Lady when I was a kid, I'm an AVON Lady now raising MY kids! Grandmas recognize AVON because they have trusted in the products their entire lives. AVON has proven it's worth for nearly 150 years, and we don't rely on high prices to pretend we have quality products, we have generations of loyal customers and reps to prove we have quality products.

I a customer of 20+years, and a Consultant of 1 year. I love what this company stands for, "FAMILY!" The products are high quality, and the company offers many ways to earn the products for free, or with great discounts. I love being a Consultant, and it shows in my productivity!

As you all know, everyone needs kitchen necessities and that being said this is a pretty good company that offers many different kitchen tools. There is room to grow and make money. The key to making money with these products is to get them out there, especially to the cooking industry. The freebies and the discounts and the specials and the quality and the affordability of the products is excellent. I recommend Pampered Chef for the sales consultant or the individual who wanted to host a Pampered Chef Party.

I started selling Avon almost 3 years ago for extra money and to put recent work experience on my resume. I fell in love with the products. I started using the skin care products and wearing jewelry. I love the holiday items. They sell well as do the signature Avon products like Skin So Soft. I will probably continue to sell Avon even after I find full-time work just because I love the products. Avon provides excellent support to their sales representatives; I couldn't ask for a better District Sales Manager. She had led me the whole way and I still turn to her for answers. I LOVE AVON!!!

I had no clue that joining would be such a blessing. My intent was to make a little bit of extra cash for groceries as a single mom and it allowed me to quit my RN job and stay home full time instead. I feel supported, encouraged and my cup is ALWAYS full. As a woman, our cup is empty most of the time and now I have friends and a "sisterhood" that I didn't know could exist. If you are looking for a bit more money, friendships, fun...check out Thirty-One Gifts!! Best decision ever!

I have been selling avon for 16 years and the old saying I sell it because I love the products truly applies here. I can't imagine life without my avon products. Such great quality products for more than reasonable prices. Joining avon was a great decision! I also recently started the leadership program with Avon Canada- signing new representatives, just renews my excitement for these products and this company.

I have been involved in DS businesses before, but have never LOVED one as much as I do Thirty-One! I have made tons of friends all over the United States that I would never have met if I had not joined. The $99 Enrollment Kit was all I really wanted, but God had so much more in store for me! The founders are such strong believers that they even got the name of the company from Scripture -- Proverbs 31!

I have been using Avon off and on for many many years. I remember when my mother had an Avon lady so I feel great about a company that has been around for a lifetime. The products are great and you can not beat the prices any where. I have never tried R&F but I do not like spending a ton on products. I wear minimal makeup and always get complimented on my skin and look years younger than I am. Avon is perfect for me and there are endless products and anyone can open a catalog and say - yes I need that! I had the Moisture therapy hand lotion on my desk at work and everyone loves!

I must preface this review by saying that I love Avon. I really truly do. The 3 stars I have as a rating are not a reflection on the company as a whole or it's products. The rating is simply based on the fact that when I was an Avon consultant, I barely made any money doing it. It wasn't worth the time, energy and my own money that I put into the business. If the pay structure was different, I would likely go back. I really do love their products.

Avon is the original and the #1 direct sales company worldwide. It's that simple. I love their products, the quality and the price.
