Sweep the past away with Kleeneze career
NEARLY 10,000 people are claiming unemployment benefit in North Staffordshire and almost 3,000 in South Cheshire - and many more could still be facing redundancy
These are the latest figures for Jobseeker's Allowance claimants - released even before Waterford Wedgwood and JCB announced more redundancies last month - and there are fears that the numbers will continue to grow.
Getting through redundancy is not easy. Not only do individuals have to make changes that affect their own lifestyle, these can also have an impact on their family.
One relatively untapped industry that is experiencing growth as the wider economy suffers is direct selling. Kleeneze is one of the country's leading direct selling companies and offers a unique opportunity to build a thriving business.
Low start-up costs and an income from day one, coupled with a genuine lifeline for people under threat of redundancy and the chance to work from home while still receiving full support and training, make this an attractive way of working.
A well respected and long standing network marketing company, getting started costs as little as £75 and distributors begin to earn from day one, which is ideal in the current climate. As a founder
member of the Direct Selling Association, the company has a strong reputation and is leading the way in a well regulated industry, Kleeneze offers the opportunity for full-time or part-time work, or even as a stopgap while looking for another job. As a distributor of its range of catalogues, selling home,
garden, health, beauty and gift products, individuals work from home, require no specific qualifications - although they may be able to make use of skills already learned - as well as gaining new managerial and personal development aptitudes. This business offers people everywhere
the chance to take a hold of their finances and make a difference to their way of life.
One local couple, Lee and Fiona Henshaw, recently joined the business and commented: "We joined in August 2008 as we saw an opportunity to build a future for ourselves and our family that
would give us both time and financial freedom if we put in a few years' hard work up front. We didn't know of any job or business that would give us that kind of reward after only a few years!"
Lee spent 11 years trying to build a successful career with logistics and having both faced the threat of
redundancy and actually being made redundant a couple of times, they were becoming very disillusioned with the corporate world.
"We were a little sceptical so decided to go along to a Kleeneze training event so that we could ask more questions. We were inspired by the speakers and were convinced that this was something we should try. We have been busy retailing and have now introduced our first people into the business.
We are absolutely convinced that we made the right choice. Within three months we were earning over £1,000 a month"
There are two ways to earn money with Kleeneze: distributing catalogues (distributors earn between 21 and 36 per cent on all products sold and royalty bonuses) and additional payments for distributors heading a team that performs well over a period.
For stand alone distributors it is possible to earn anything up to £38k a year, while top performing network leaders can earn over £400k, says Kleeneze.
The company offers full training and ongoing support and hosts three UK conferences a year to enable distributors to share best practice.
Distributors who hit sales targets can also qualify for international conferences in venues such as Mauritius and Budapest.
