Hi,

This evening a friend off me introduced KleeneZe to me. I sound all very interesting, and there just getting started here in Holland. There are only 300 people with it in Holland. But because Kleeneze is coming from Great Brittain i thought you guys know more about it.
Does it really work as they told me ?
It looks like you can earn a lot off money if you put a lot off effort in it. Is this true ???

There are several Kleeneze brochures rotting in their plastic bags in my porch. Shows my level of interest.

hmmm, anyone who had good results with it?

are you talking of the company, like avon cosmetics, that leave brochures of things for you to buy?

I resent having crap posted thro my letter box as its got to hang around for them to collect it. I think they cost about 50p (a dollar) to the person who leaves them.

if they dont collect them in 2 days i bin them



or are you talking of the parts cleaning systems / trays that some garages use that are called summat like that?

I'm talking about the company.
I was wondering if the idea off the company really works in GB.

Cheers, Marco

if all you want to do is to go around peoples houses dropping off leaflets for almost no money, its for you!

I knew someone that did avon. They had to BUY their own demo stock and they had to BUY their own catalogs at about a euro each. Everytime someone bins one, its a euro lost.

So, you would seriosly need to consider if its worth trudging the streets, in the cold dark and rain, dealing with pissed of people who didnt want you knocking at the door for your catalog back during their favourite TV program, etc, then its for you.

Im sure the company does fine. But ive never heard of anyone making a fortune doing this.

You might be on a more stable income delivering newspapers.

I have heard of people making good money from it,but there again I wouldnt give up the day job.
But if you put a lot of hard work/effort into anything you'll make money.
Cheers,
Bob

Giving up the day job... hmm.

My Mother-in-law does the Avon thing and to be honest she does it, not for the money but for the social aspect of it. (Cant say having a door slammed in your face is much fun but...) She gets on average £600-£800/month in orders. I'm unsure as to her commission on this (and I'm not really all that bothered to be frank!) but she seems to enjoy it...

As you rightly state though - the day job I wouldn certainly not give up!

They are an established company, and been around as long as I can remember , and I'm 52. Its usually hard work to make a LOT of money, some people do, but like most of these schemes, you have to work damn hard to make it a full time job to live off.

Products that I have used in the past, were quite acceptable, but its usually cheaper in the supermarket these days.

K/Eze was good before tesco's and the like became what they are today, and priced all the small competition out of business. (I am going back quite a few years here).

they are OK, products are OK, but damn hard work to make a lot of money... like any of these businesses. If it was BIG money, and easy work Everyone would be selling it.

Economics are at work here!

(Effort IN x Time IN) - Their Comission = Money out

Vaguely relevant point, the new distance selling act says that you don't have to pay for or return anything that's delivered to you unsolicited; so in the bin with those catalogues (if you don't give a crap about the obnoxious schmo who thinks they can make a buck by hassling people on their doorstep)
