Has anyone tried Kleeneze and managed to run a successful business from it?

i sell avon which is a similar sceme, i find it hard work at first, as you have to post to every house but once you know which houses order you have your customers. i only post to my known customers throughout the year and all houses again near xmas. its fairly reasonable for a bit of extra cash throughout the year for the hour you put in, definatly worth it at xmas time as orders are up. but all depend on how many customers you have who regulary order. i couldn't make a full time living out of it unless i became a sales leader (further up the lader) recruiting others. i only do it for a bit of holiday spends of xmas. i've been selling for 2 years now so cant be that bad. take a look at avon.uk.com. you might prefer that as there is no outlay (unlike kleeneze) and as long as you want to climb the ladder you can live of it. good luck\n\n\ni also make a small amount on

There are people who have joined my company that used to work with Mary Kay.  The average Mary Kay representative buys serverl hundred dollars if not thousands to stock an inventory.  They also have a hard time because so many people are represenatives of Mary Kay and there simply is not enough business to go around.  Many times they were unable to return unsold items due to color changes where they discontinues some items and the representative is simply stuck with it.  I have a very interesting comparison between my company and Mary Kay if you would be interested.  I don't know about Beauticontrol or Jafra but I believe they are less over done.  \nIf you live in the U.S. or Canada I have a company you may be interested in.   I work with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and in good standing with the Better Business Buerau.  The make products that are healthier non-toxic and environmentally safer.  They have a complete cosmetic line, and they sell so many other products also, including cleaning supplies, shampoo, toothpaste, deoderant, vitamins, health bars, laundry soap, candles, bubble bath, soaps, and so much more.  All your necessities you buy everyday.  With this company you do not stock any products, or make any deliveries.  You enroll customers to shop direct and their purchases are delivered to their door.  Then you recieve a commission for everything that customer buys and long as they are buying.  You can have the home parties if you like to enroll customers to show off the products.  The products are at a reasonable price, many I found to be cheaper than what I was buying before.  If you are interested in researching this company further go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and fill out the request to get more information.  There is no risk of losing anything with this company and no big investment.  I hope you find what you are looking for.

I have not found an 'advertised' home business that people are making money at. I've actually asked that question here.\n\nI have had success in getting a product (that may be the hardest part) then selling it on EBay.  From there I designed my own website, advertised it, and conducted business from there, using EBay just for getting rid of overstocked or discontinued items.

I know how you feel. I'm in the current process of setting up a website just based on this. So stay tuned.\n\nBasically go around forums asking people. But you will find that there will always be people happy with the service and others not. \n\nIt is hard to know whether or not these people are simply plugging their own company posing as neutral people or not. \n\nSo in the end, asking people at a conference perhaps may be the best way - as you can tell if they are straight out lying.\n\nAlso books can be good too: but I've seen some books recently that plug their own products too - without you knowing!

since you are doing pretty well you must be good, and if you are good, I cant see your business failing with as many people as there is needing their websites done- GOOD LUCK!!!

yes I have tried their program, there are a few draw backs though... As far as the regimen and the staff I could not have asked for more support, the only thing that I could not tolerate was that they require you to pay for their services with an automatic bank draft, and they were constantly putting items through my account that I did not authorize.... protien drink mixes, vitamins, liquid supplements etc.... I finally ended my membership becasue of this.  I now use 24 hour fitness and have had great success and am very satisfied with their ammenities and services.

I found a company that I am very happy with.  I'm with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are the support team that is partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and a member of the Better Business Buerau.  They have a lot of products that cover all the basic needs of people and are safer for you and the environment and the prices are reasonable too.  I found many of them to be cheaper than what I was buying before joining this company.  You can do the whole in home party thing if you like but it is not necessary in order to build this business (but I am told ones that do do even better).  You do not do any order taking or delivering of products.  All your customers shop direct and you recieve a commission on everything that person you enroll buys and long as they buy.  They give great support and free tips to succeed and there is no big investment or stocking products.  There is no risk involved in trying to see if it is right for you.  There is so much information, if you are interested in learning more go to http://healthybetterme.com/ and fill in the get more information part.   I hope you find what you are looking for.

Yeah, without knowing the product, there's not much one can offer for specific wording that will be helpful...  but there are several basic techniques that work for most situations.  I can tell you from experience what has worked best on AND FOR me!  :) .....\n\nFrom the start, be upbeat and enthusiastic about your company/product/service.  You can sell the hell outta anything you believe in.  If you don't believe in it, you won't have the same energy about it and neither will your customer.\n\nTalk about the wonders, versatility, features, convenience, usefulness, and neat little details of your product: works without fail!  saves time/work/money!  fits anywhere!  has it's own storage compartment!  comes in 6 popular colors!  comes with this or that little freebie!  performs 12 different household tasks and simultaneously makes the morning coffee too! LOL\n\nMake upbeat, polite conversation with them, and listen for any clues to ways that your product/service would fit into their life - kids, work, hobbies, busy life, student, new home owner, space concerns, etc.  If while you're chatting, they say anything that sounds like they are interested, like "Really?  Hmm, that sounds handy/cool/nice/useful/perfect..." or something else that sounds like you've got their attention, follow that line of conversation.\n\nIf they sound positive, agree with whatever they're saying!  If they have negative feedback, perhaps even with your company/product/service, say something to empathize, like "Wow, I'm sorry that happened..." then lead into suggestions of how you/your company/your product will serve to overcome that situation.\n\nWhen it sounds like you're convincing them that you're product/service is something they *might* want, close the sale by mentioning any "buy now" kinda benefits: sale going on, payment plan, deferred payments/interest, money-back guarantee, etc...\n\nSMILE while you're talking to them!  Studies show that your entire demeanor and tone change if you're not smiling, and WILL affect the customer's response to you.\n\nGood luck, and happy selling!  :)

I only wish I knew of one.    Seems like the only way you can ever find out is to sign up with one,  but you have to  hand over a bunch of  money first, and then  it's too late  because  you  aren't  gonna  get  any  refund  LOL>      I  got   tempted to investigate  one I got  an e-mail about,  asking for people  with good writing skills, to help  with the composition of those  online  sales pitches  that  lure others  to buy some kind of book, or sign up  for a subscription to a course for something.   You  aren't  having to  sell anything yourself, or  get caught up  in  the expense of  making phone calls, or packing and shipping merchandise  etc.etc.   Evidently  you just sit there,  and  tap  tap tap away, composing something that may attract people to  sign up for somebody  else's product,  and  that "somebody" pays  you for your services based on how  successful  your presentation  has been in  producing  sales results.   Only problem  there is that  while YOU  can't be  legally held  accountable for anything  that isn't exactly copacetic, you  are still  morally part  of the scam  if it happens to be one  ---  and  I think you also have to buy their course that instructs you how to  design  and type up your  presentation pitch on their behalf.   \n                         Only  thing I can  think of as a  way to find out about a  truly 100%  genuine one would be through the Better Business Bureau,  who, perhaps, could either help you themselves, or  direct you to somebody who could.

I think it is very possible.  My business does both.  The key is finding a nitche market.  We are in the wedding business so that is always a large market.  What specifically are you looking to sell?  Product or service?

I am with Arbonne, and I LOVE it! Do you want to "sell" it, as in retail it or have home parties? Many people have succeeded quite well by giving parties, but my team has chosen not to do that method, because we have found that most people don't have time for them these days. Also, my team has become the fastest growing team in Arbonne's history, doing it this way! \n\nArbonne itself has some wonderful training tools, and my team can supplement what they have to offer, with our own calls, webcasts, etc.\n\nHave you been using the products, and have you already signed up with somebody? I will be more than happy to talk at length with you, if you'd like. Feel free to contact me at the site below!\n\nGood luck with whatever you decide. Arbonne is a wonderful option for anybody!  :-)

i tried smc. the whole idea sounded fun but i found that their products were really crappy. i made a few sales but most people said it was not very good quality. so for the sake of my rep, i quit selling their junk. the mark up  for their products is way to much for a wholesaler. although if you want to try and get into the sales business, smc mightt be able to give you a starting point. there are a lot of good products on smc, though they seem to be way too expensive. also ebay is impossibe to sell on with smc. p.s try maxam wholesale they have some nice stuff there. i always have a good time selling their leather gloves around fall.  they also have a good variety of stuff.

Go have a look at CafePress.com - you design; they advertise, print, invoice, post and then send you the profit!
