Avon lady thrives amid recession
Debbie Davis, 29, of Sunderland, England, said she started selling cosmetics for Avon to raise Christmas money after she was laid off from her job five years ago and during that time she has gone from collecting government benefits to driving a Mercedes and leading a sales team of 2,500 people, Sky News reported.
Davis said confidence and "just being friendly" are the secrets to sales success, even during an economic recession.
"At first I was really shy so it was all about getting my confidence back -- my confidence just went after I was made unemployed," she said. "Now it's about friendliness, just being friendly and talking to people."

Hey, J.G., Arcamax just knows they have readers who can't figure this out because they went to Morons R Us, a/k/a American public schoos. A better way would have been to show the pounds, as quoted, with the dollar amount in parentheses.
Regardless, I applaud this woman for not depending on either a boss or the government to survive.
