Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Judi Thompson as a Distinguished Professional in Her Field

    SIOUX FALLS, SD, February 14, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Judi Thompson, Independent Avon Representative and Gold Leader with Avon Products, Inc., has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Judi Thompson will be featured in the upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016.

Seeking to get out of the house and provide extra income as the wife and mother of two young children who, at the time were just three- and two-years old, Judy Thompson began a career working for Avon Products, Inc. just over 50 years ago in 1965. Thinking that she would eventually return to her full-time career as a legal secretary once the girls were in school, she quickly came to realize that she could earn a better income at Avon while putting in half of the hours, and still be as flexible as she needed to be. In 1974 Mrs. Thompson was hired to become a District Manager in her city, a position she held for 27 years before retiring in 2000.

"A few months after I retired I became bored and decided to go back to Avon as an Independent Sales Representative specializing in their Leadership Program, better known as multi-level marketing."

In her current role, Mrs. Thompson serves as a Gold Leader recruiting and training Avon representatives and helping them become successful. Teaching each of them the importance of "sticking with it" if they want to be successful, as well as being consistent with their customers, Mrs. Thompson says that you must love your product and love your people.

Graduating from Valley Springs High School in Valley Springs, South Dakota in 1959, Mrs. Thompson has been married to Don Thompson for 55 years. They have two daughters, Tonya and Rick who live in Aberdeen, South Dakota. They have two grown daughters. Lana lives in Sioux Falls and has two grown children. Mrs. Thompson and her husband have one great-granddaughter and are expecting their second boy in May 2016.
