When you start your Kleeneze business you are usually given
a credit limit which allows you to order the products that
your customers want upfront, and then you pay Kleeneze back
once you have received the money from your customers. So with
Kleeneze you never need to hold large amounts of stock, or
pay out large amounts of money for your customers orders.
The
more catalogues you deliver, the more orders you will get
and therefore the more money you will earn. This table below
should give you a rough idea about the amount of money you
can earn when you first start, and the table underneath
will give more of an indication of the rewards available
after three to twelve months of developing a customer base.

Please
note that this is only based on the rewards you will receive
when you first start. The key to being a successful retailer
is to build up a loyal customer base, which will take at
least a few months. Once you have done this then your income
will be significantly higher.
For
example, when you first start, the average national order
is over £1 per catalogue*. However, once you have
developed a customer base, then returns of £3 to £5
per catalogue and greater can be expected and good part-time
monthly incomes of £200 to £600 can readily
be achieved for as little as 10 hours work per week.
* This does not mean you will get a £1 order for every
catalogue that you collect. What it means is you will receive
around £100 worth of orders for every 100 catalogues
collected.

This
table is now based on a conservative estimate of only £3.50
per catalogue. In reality this figure will be more like
£3 to £5, and often even higher in the run up
to Christmas.
Note that the time taken to deliver 100 catalogues on a
customer base is now slightly higher, simply because the
houses will be more spaced out.
How
do I collect my orders?
When
you go out to pick up your catalogues, you collect them
from the doorstep and then remove all of the completed order
forms. Then, on a regular basis, perhaps every one or two
weeks, you submit your total order to Kleeneze and then
they will deliver the order to your house, often within
24 hours. You can place your order via the internet, fax,
or post.
How
do my customers pay me?
When
you deliver the orders to your customers, they simply pay
you directly with either cash, credit card or a cheque.
You then keep your 21% profit before paying Kleeneze the
rest. Credit cards and cheques can be paid directly into
your Kleeneze account.
Where
can I deliver my catalogues?
Anywhere.
There are no set area's or territories in this business.
Staying close to home is a wise idea though, as this will
save on your travelling time.
The
idea is to gradually build a customer base who will remain
loyal to you. Customer service is therefore very important.
Good customer service simply means being reliable, polite
and friendly, and doing exactly what you have promised to
do.
Many distributors enjoy retailing as it gives them the chance
to meet people that they wouldn’t normally meet, get some
good exercise, and make extra money as they go. You may
sometimes overlap with other distributors, but this is not
a problem as each person develops his/her own customer base.
Of
course, the 21% profit that you earn from your own retailing
is just the start with this business. As you retail more,
you become eligible for extra money in the form of volume
profit.
What
is volume profit?
As
we have mentioned above, all distributors always receive
a minimum of 21% profit on every single order that they
receive. However, depending on how much you retail in every
four week period, you can earn significantly more. The table
below demonstrates this.

Therefore
as you can see, if you are retailing £200 per week,
then you will have a total sales volume of £800 every
4 week period, and will therefore be earning 27% profit
in total.
In
reality, most people will be personally retailing volumes
of between £500 and £2000 in a four weekly period,
and in exceptional cases volumes of up to £5000 per
four week period. Volumes higher than this are very difficult
to achieve personally, (certainly in the short term) simply
because of the amount of catalogues that you would need
to deliver on a weekly basis.
This
is where the team building comes in. When you are also introducing
other people into the business, your four weekly sales volume
is calculated on the entire sales volume created by you,
plus the sales volume of your team as well. To find out
