“For over 130 years, Avon has empowered generations of women to achieve their full potential,” says Scott White, Chief Executive Officer, New Avon LLC. “With the rise of the sharing economy, hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs across the country are coming to Avon for the freedom and flexibility, and for an opportunity that is simple, easy and fun. RepFest is our opportunity to share our commitment to our Representatives’ success by delivering the very best social selling tools, training and incentives, and an innovative beauty brand loved by millions of customers.”
“Every year, RepFest puts a spotlight on the power and pride that lies within our amazing Avon Representative community of women. They are the change makers, trailblazers, trendsetters and influencers who are defining the future of Avon,” said Betty Palm, President, Social Selling for New Avon LLC. “Avon Representatives come to RepFest for the inspiration and motivation to take their Avon business to next level and learn from some of our most successful Leaders in the company. We were thrilled to applaud our Representatives and celebrate their incredible stories of success.”
Successful real estate entrepreneur, Barbara Corcoran, took center stage as a keynote speaker, inspiring the crowd with words of wisdom about building their business and leading their teams to greatness. Corcoran shared her personal journey to success, offering strategies for overcoming barriers developed over the course of her career and sharing life lessons.
“In my opinion, entrepreneurs are the best kind of people. I love the entrepreneurial spirit of the Avon community and applaud every Representative for running their own businesses. People often ask me about the top advice I have for new entrepreneurs – and it is simply to just get out there without overthinking. Get started because it all starts with the first step.” said Corcoran during her remarks.
Avon also celebrated National Lipstick Day on July 29 at RepFest, by launching the Kiss Breast Cancer Goodbye Campaign in partnership with American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and awareness with education are imperative for potentially lifesaving early detection. To help grow the conversation, Avon is encouraging people to blow a kiss on their social media feeds, tag 8 friends and use the hashtags #KissBreastCancerGoodbye and #AvonMakingStrides. Thousands of Avon Representatives left their mark on a massive kissing wall in the convention center.
