An independent sales status
The home sales status allows you to increase your income while remaining independent. It’s an effective way to start a new activity without the risks associated with starting a business. The term "VDI" stands for "Vendeur à domicile indépendant" (Independent Home Salesperson). This is someone who sells products from their own home or at their clients’ homes, and whose earnings depend on what they manage to sell.
To become a home sales consultant, you need to become self-employed. Generally, the VDI company you wish to sell products for provides training before you become fully independent. At Elora, for example, we offer training and personalized support for our independent saleswomen.
An independent but supported work contract
By signing a VDI contract, you commit to promoting and selling a company’s products, either by organizing gatherings at your home or your clients’ homes, or through an online boutique. Depending on the contract you choose, you can work as a VDI mandataire, where you represent the company and earn a commission on sales. Communication is therefore a key asset in this field. Flyers, presentation videos, and other materials will help you promote the products you sell, and Elora also supports you by providing a wide range of resources each season.
The advantages of VDI status
At Elora, the advantages of the VDI status for our image consultants are numerous. As a home saleswoman, our team has the opportunity to:
- Work from home.
- Manage their time as they wish.
This is perfectly compatible with caring support from a dedicated team. As an independent, you have complete flexibility over your schedule and control your earnings, since your profits are the difference between the purchase price and the selling price.
