mum, VDI and pharmacy assistant
The Portrait of Emmanuelle
07 DECEMBER 2017
Around them, a whole world is in motion: the world of home sales! Every day, hundreds of Elora fashion consultants welcome, advise and develop their networks of hostesses and customers... right in their own salons! Today we meet Emmanuelle Bauer, mum of three little girls, who is both a home sales assistant in the Bas-Rhin region of France and a pharmacy assistant!
- Hello Emmanuelle, can you describe yourself in a few words?
Hello ! If I had to sum up my main character traits, I'd say I'm spontaneous, smiley, dynamic, organised (essential when you're holding down two jobs) and above all happy!
- How did you hear about Elora?
Like a lot of people new to home shopping, I was invited to attend an Elora presentation and was immediately won over! Incidentally, it was four days after the birth of my last daughter!
- What made you decide to become an Elora fashion consultant and how do you explain your success at Elora?
I think the starting point for this adventure was my mother. I've been immersed in direct sales since I was a little girl, my mum was actually a self-employed home sales assistant for over twenty years! It's a great way to start a career! I love the fact that you can talk, on a daily or weekly basis, with people who share your passion and your values... which is what I find at Elora.
- How do you organise your work as a pharmacy assistant and as an Elora fashion consultant?
You said the right word: organisation! That's the key to success when you combine several activities. I divide my week up into different times: some days are reserved for my work as a pharmacy assistant (Monday, Friday and every other Saturday), while Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are devoted to my work as a home-based independent retailer... and my daughters, of course! Between midday and midday, I'm busy managing the Elora team or making deliveries. In other words, I'm never bored!
- What do you like best about Elora?
Its simple values, sharing, trust, respect, and the collections of course!
- What's it like meeting the other Elora fashion consultants or hostesses?
They're real moments of complicity, enthusiasm, goodwill and mutual support! We meet up with other fashion consultants and hostesses and share our experiences, our advice as VDIs and our goals. It's very stimulating!
- What are your favourite pieces?
That's a tough question! The Oxyde trousers, the Oplisse blouse and the Océan jacket, to name but three... J
- What would you say to a young woman who's still hesitating about taking the plunge?
Quite simply to take the plunge! I've learnt that sometimes you shouldn't think too much, just follow your instincts and let things happen! That's how it works at Elora!
- 3 tips for our Elora fashion consultants?
Definitely to be organised and enthusiastic! Inspiring customers is also essential, and this is what all our consultants have in common, as they win over more and more customers every season.
- What are your plans for Elora?
I'd say to continue to have a great, close-knit team to share my values and my passion for my job and fashion!
A big thank you to Emmanuelle for sharing her experience with us!
