Here’s a good idea!

Ever noticed when you get a Bettaware, Kleeneze, etc catalogue through your door that the name of the local representive running the business changes on a regular basis?

I’d like to hazard a guess a to why this is. Perhaps it might be something to do with having to deliver dozens of brochures door-to-door and then having to collect them all again…..and then having to collect all the catalogues that you couldn’t collect the first time because people forgot to leave them outside or were at work at the time or were on holiday…..and then having to deliver all the products that some households decided to order.

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems a lot of time and a lot of work to me, for little return. So what I do is try to educate these representitives in to the smart way of running a lucrative little part-time business without all that hassle and stress - and in a fraction of the time. As they are delivering catalogues to houses in their area anyway, why not drop a VWD e-Lottery leaflet at the same time?

Once they’ve realised the benefit of only having to drop a leaflet once, and then get paid every week (for each playing customer) do you think they’d really want to go back to all that work for the same wage each month when they could be building an increasing residual monthly income for themselves? I certainly wouldn’t. Would you?

What I do, is to try and catch the representitive when they return for their catalogue, and ask them if they’re interested in a more efficient way of earning a second income (although this business is now the main income of some VWD members).

If you’re out at work when the rep returns for the catalogue, slip one of your business cards (or leaflets) in the front of the bag containing the catalogue and leave it outside your front door. This way the rep cannot help but read it and hopefully see the sense in this more attractive way of making some extra cash – or even a full time income.
