As an Avon Top Seller and because of her experience in direct sales, Marcia Cavalheira has already made many speeches and lectures in universities to tell students how they can improve their entrepreneurship.

Eleven years ago, Marcia and her husband went through a time of professional crisis. He owned a binding company and she worked for an appliance chain store. Unemployed, she could not get another job because of her age, despite being a great saleswoman. To survive the tough times and maintain the family income, she started selling Avon, and today both of them are among the top ranking Avon.
