The other day Ty Tribble wrote a great post on his blog – TyTribble.com – entitled What Are You Doing Today To Generate More Volume? In it he poses the question, So what does generate volume? Ty’s answer… Selling products and sponsoring people.

Here’s an inspiring story of one Avon Lady who’s been selling product for 32 years…

Selling Avon products over 50 years ago was a passing fancy for Katherine Mangelos who had three children at the time – two boys and a girl. She wasn’t sure she could find customers by knocking on doors of people she didn’t know.

She set out on her mission in sales on March 23, 1959. She was 32 years old beginning a career that would see her add up some $2 million in sales for her half century of part-time work.

Katherine said her husband didn’t want her to work.

“This Avon lady came around to sell me Avon. I thought if she can sell Avon I can sell Avon, and maybe, if I make $5, it will be $5 we don’t have. We didn’t have any money at the time. I called for information and some lady came and signed me up,” she said.
