Taboo Questions in Home Selling
21 APRIL 2017
Becoming an independent door-to-door salesperson is one of those steps in life that requires a pinch of reflection, a great deal of inspiration and a small dose of courage to shine and flourish afterwards. Do you have a thousand questions on your mind? It's perfectly normal! Here's a summary of the taboo questions that come with becoming a VDI -Vendeur Indépendant à Domicile. Follow the guide, Elora has the answers!
To become an Independent Home Salesperson with Elora, do I need to invest money from the outset?
This is one of the main concerns of people who start out as a VDI - Independent Home Salesperson. Well, the answer is obviously NO! You have a 2-month trial period to find out if this is the job for you!The only thing we value is your talent as a Fashion Consultant, so that you can share your know-how with your network of customers, your desire to progress as an Independent Home Salesperson during sales meetings and, of course, your personal fulfilment!
I'd like to take on new challenges but I'm employed, unemployed or retired. Can I still become an Elora Independent Home Sales Manager?
Let's not prolong the suspense any longer: the answer is YES! The VDI status has the advantage of allowing you to combine several statuses at the same time. As a self-employed home seller is not considered to be an employee, it is perfectly possible to supplement your income. So you can transform your life, earn extra income every month and enjoy yourself alongside your other activity!
It's worth noting that 50% of Elora home-based independent sellers have chosen to devote themselves to this activity on a full-time basis.
Please note, however, that certain professions such as doctors, pharmacists, lawyers and government officials do not allow you to work as a VDI.
Once I've obtained VDI status, do I have to reach a turnover level set by Elora?
By choosing Elora, ready-to-wear home shopping, you are opting for independence and autonomy. By becoming an Independent Home Fashion Consultant, you also become your own boss and have complete freedom to set your own sales targets, the frequency of your sales meetings and organise your schedule as you see fit... all from the comfort of your own home! Of course, the more sales you make at meetings, the more likely you are to increase your number of orders and therefore your total turnover. Your additional income depends solely on your involvement!
Let's talk about money... How much can I expect to earn per month?
Now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty: your monthly income as an independent home-based ready-to-wear retailer. Well, once again, it depends on how determined you are to organise sales meetings with your network of customers. From 20% to 39%, your commission rises according to your sales and your professional development. Let's say that if you want to earn minimum wage, all you need to do is organise two sales meetings a week with a shopping basket of €600! Another little trick to boost your monthly income is to set up your own team of independent home sellers and become their manager, helping them to grow.
For those of you who are still unsure, don't worry, Elora is committed to supporting you in your VDI business ! Weekly telephone hotline, marketing guides and tools, training and coaching, e-learning, not forgetting the fantastic network of Elora Fashion Consultants who will be there to support you... you're about to become the best version of yourself!
