Gleannloch Farms resident, DeAna Kindt has been recognized by Avon Products, Inc., as one of the beauty company’s top representatives in the United States.

In honor of this recognition, the company recently rewarded Kindt, along with other top Avon Representatives at the company, a trip to Los Angeles to celebrate their success during the annual President’s Recognition Program Celebration. Kindt achieved the #1 spot in the Nation for Sales Increase and third highest in Sales Volume in the U.S. Her revenues exceeded $350,000 in 2014, an increase of 174 percent over her sales in 2013.

Kindt just completed her third year as an Avon representative, after changing from a long time career in the corporate world as a CEO. She studied for a master’s degree in business, MBA from Corbin University, and a master’s degree in nonprofit management, a MNM from the University of Central Florida, but says degrees are not needed to succeed in direct sales. “I wish I knew 20 years ago what I know today about direct selling companies. The opportunity they offer is limitless and I am in competition with no one except myself. With hard work and dedication, one can achieve their dreams no matter where they are in life. Everyone has the same playing field, it’s what you do to play the game that counts. I have earned more trips, prizes, cash and even a new car in these three years, not to mention the six figure income. I have earned more than I ever did in the corporate world in over 20 years, and I feel rewarded for my achievements.” Kindt said. “I love working from home, setting my own schedule and being my own boss. I will remain an entrepreneur and love owning my own business, which also affords me the opportunity to give back to my community, both financially and with volunteering time.” she added.

Avon’s President’s Recognition Program Celebration (PRPC) is an annual event, bringing together the nation’s top achieving Avon Representatives who have distinguished themselves as top performers in Sales or Leadership.

“The extraordinary Avon Representatives who have achieved this distinctive honor this year make me extremely proud each day,” said Pablo Muñoz, Senior Vice President & President, North America. DeAna Kindt is one of these representatives who allowed an opportunity to change her life. “These individuals embody the entrepreneurial spirit that has been at the heart of Avon since the company’s beginning, demonstrating first-hand how Avon Representatives can achieve financial empowerment, the flexibility to run their businesses on their own terms, and the opportunity to lead a team and mentor others.”

In recognition of their success, the elite group of Avon Representatives, including Kindt, celebrated their accomplishments with a five-day, four-night trip to Los Angeles. During their trip, they enjoyed a guided tour of Hollywood from Rodeo Drive to the Sunset Strip, as well a day of fun in the sun at Santa Monica Beach. They were also recognized for their achievements with a Gala Recognition Dinner, hosted by Avon Executives.
