Fashion consultant: a real job
VDI fashion: a truly inspiring profession
01 MAY 2019
The self-employed home salesperson, or VDI, is not considered as a salaried employee, but has the status of an individual entrepreneur.
For this reason, the work of a VDI (particularly in fashion and beauty) has long been devalued. Today, it has been able to modernise and reinvent itself, attracting many people who want to do something they enjoy.
The benefits of being a ready-to-wear home seller
Ready-to-wear home selling is no longer just a way of supplementing your income. In fact, today's VDI offers real prospects for the future, right up to the point of becoming a real profession.
There are many advantages to direct home selling in the fashion industry: independence, making a living from your passion or even a salary that depends on your investment... Being a VDI will allow you to really fulfil yourself in your professional activity.
A tailor-made schedule
With a salaried job, it's difficult to have a job with hours that fit in with your lifestyle.
As a home seller, you can adapt your working hours to suit your preferences and your private sales. You can work mornings or evenings. It's up to you to set yourself working hours during which you devote yourself entirely to your business.
If you're well organised, you won't neglect either your personal or your professional life. A perfectly balanced life!
Remuneration that depends on you
There are two types of home-based salesperson: VDI agent or VDI buyer-reseller.
At Elora, we offer you the status of VDI agent in fashion. This means that you can take orders directly from your customers without incurring any costs, and we dispatch the clothes.
You are paid commission on your turnover and you also receive commission if you recruit other VDIs. The salary you receive depends on your sales and therefore on you.
You're your own boss, and you can earn a salary that's just as good as (or even better than) a traditional salaried job.
A modern profession that suits you
Direct door-to-door selling is a profession that you choose above all out of passion. It's a way of changing your life and starting a new career. On a day-to-day basis, you'll be working in a job that you really enjoy, so you can fulfil your potential to the full.
Thanks to smartphones, tablets and laptops, you can work from anywhere to find new customers and build customer loyalty. You don't have the constraints of a fixed office.
Door-to-door selling is a contemporary profession that combines the digital experience with human contact.
