Avon’s Carrol Bradford Reaches Over $1 Million / Year In Sales, Convinces Husband To Become An ‘Avon Lady’
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
One of Australia’s most successful businesswomen says she fell into her dream job by complete accident.
Carrol Bradford was offering childcare services from her Brisbane home, when her sister begged her to ‘step in’ to look after her three Avon clients while she went on holiday.
Eight years on, Carrol boasts a team of 500 staff across the country. A team who helped her turn over $1.5 million in makeup and skincare sales this year alone.
‘I thought I’d try it myself as I needed the extra money and it just grew by word of mouth,’ she told Daily Mail Australia. ‘At first all I wanted was to get a hundred dollars of orders filled, I never dreamed it would become this big.’
Mrs Bradford, who had never travelled overseas before starting Avon, has since represented the Australian and New Zealand arms of the company at leadership events in Bangkok and Singapore.
‘For me, that was a real highlight I think, I’d not been anywhere before,’ she said.
She says a lot of her work has come through referrals and her online store – and through a lot of hard work.
‘We still do get-togethers at people’s homes but its really not just the little lady coming

Australian Organization Accuses Lyoness Of Being A Pyramid Scheme
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) will today begin its case against Lyoness, alleging it is operating a pyramid scheme.
Tony Zeaiter and Paul Maait each invested $3,000 in Lyoness to become premium members of the Australian arm of the company.
“When it launched in Australia, they said ‘You’ll have a minimum of 500 people under you, and you’ll get a percentage of whatever these people do’,” Mr Maait told the ABC.
“[They told us] ‘You don’t have to go out and sell, you don’t have to go out and recruit people. We will give you 500 people and, you know, you’ve really got it made if you get in at this time’.”
Mr Maait said both he and Mr Zeaiter were impressed with what they saw at the presentation about the company in Sydney.
“There was literally thousands upon thousands of people joining and when they told us like Woolworths were able to get six million people to join their rewards system, it was quite believable that this could actually happen,” he said.
But partnerships with major retailers such as Woolworths and Harvey Norman did not eventuate.
“They haven’t been able to deliver on the promises that they made to people like us in order
