there is quite a big outlay to buy all the catalogues and you need to put in a lot of evening work to get your returns, also you have to find a 'virgin' area to give you the best chance of actually getting orders.
it can be made to work as a business but it does take a lot of your time at the start as well as a lump of capital expenses.

A friend tried it and didn't make much money. I bought a few of the products from him - mostly overpriced and useless, except the phone charger holder that I used for four years. He eventually stopped because it was too time-consuming.

One of my neighbours also tried. He got no training on marketing, so his presentation at the door was disgusting. He would drop off the brochure, then come back the next day and ask for it back - no time even to ask whether I wanted anything!! When I said I wanted something, he forgot to come back for the order.

Don't waste your time on this.

Personally I think kleenexe products are over-priced junk. Some of the stuff is much dearer than betterware, but identical. I think from a business opportunity point of view, it's a lot of work for a little commission.
sorry.

Ideally you need virgin territory for it to work. The main agent for my area can't even tell me who is operating in my area when I investigated this and seemed to think this was not a problem - enough business for everyone. When asking around a lot of people just bin the catalogue and that will cost you (about 75p each I think) to replace them each time

There are a lot of folk that have given it a go only to pack it in because of poor customer interest.

An obvious scam. Nothing unique, nothing that is in demand, nothing that people will want to buy again and again... The company is shady, the people who choose to sell it are kind of scary... Need I go on?
