How catalogue direct selling works

  • Lesson 1 of 24
  • 5 min read
  • Free lesson

You join a company such as Avon, Justine or Avroy Shlain as a representative. You show customers the brochure, take orders, place one order with the company, deliver, and collect payment.

How you earn

  • Discount model (Avon, Justine): you buy at a discount and sell at brochure price. Your discount grows with order size.
  • Commission model (Avroy Shlain): a set percentage of what you sell.

The steps to a first order

  1. Read the official agreement and fees.
  2. Get brochures and share them.
  3. Collect orders and payments.
  4. Place your order before the campaign deadline.

A good sign: a first order delivered and paid in full, with repeat customers next campaign.

Your challenge

Check it before you spend

Show the brochure to 20 people you know.

  • You know whether to carry on or adjust

You report this yourself. Nobody checks, so it only counts if you really did it.
