What career should you choose if you're a mother?

Home sales: a fulfilling job that's ideal for mothers with children

When you're a mother, you can quickly find yourself torn between your job and your desire to be as close as possible to your children. Even though teleworking and flexible working hours are becoming increasingly common in France, many professions and company directors still don't allow for real flexibility. What's more, the loss of meaning at work and burn-out situations have become more acute since the health crisis linked to COVID-19.

Housewives may also want to find an additional paid activity to provide extra income at the end of the month. But to avoid wasting their days, it's best to choose something they enjoy!

Would you like to find a job that gives you fulfilment and allows you to make the most of your children? It's perfectly possible! Whether you're a stay-at-home mum or planning to change careers, home-based selling could be the ideal career for you.

Why become an independent home seller?

If you're a fashion-loving mum, home shopping is the ideal career for you! Home-based ready-to-wear sales make it easy for you to combine a fulfilling professional life with family life with your children.

As an independent door-to-door salesperson (VDI), you manage your own schedule without having to adhere to any timetables. Is your little one ill? Don't worry, you can look after him all day and work on your home sales project at another time! Do you have to take your child to a sports activity? Take the time to do this and return home at the time you want to resume your VDI activity.

You don't need to have any qualifications in this field or in sales to become a VDI. At Elora, a French ready-to-wear home shopping brand, we offer a training programme to give you the keys to developing your sales.

What does door-to-door selling involve?

As a home sales assistant, you organise sales meetings with your future customers to present them with an entire collection of fashion clothes. Finding your first customers couldn't be easier: ask your friends, family or neighbours if they'd like to take part in your sales meeting.

Tell them not to hesitate to invite their own acquaintances and you've got your first potential customers! Good to know: at Elora, we lend you the ready-to-wear collection, so you don't have to pay anything up front.

After that, your day-to-day work will consist of planning your appointments, managing your communication and developing your customer portfolio at your own pace. Even if you've never done this job before, don't panic: we'll support you! Motivation, discipline and determination are the keys to success in home selling.
