    I joined Kleneze recently and i have been surprised by the level of bad feeling towards the company from members on this forum. I am glad i didn't read this before getting involved otherwise i think it would have put me off.

    I don't seem to have the problem of too much competition as the people i have spoken to said they haven't seen a catalogue in ages. I've managed to earn £100 in the first fortnight and it fits in with my day job really well.

    I do have one of those "pushers" above me though. I don't appreciate emails with the line "anyone doing less than £2000 retail a month MUST attend this meeting". Hmmm, i'll be swerving it!

    I'm just happy to get on with it my way and see how it builds. By the end of the month i should have earnt back my £135 that i bought in with and then its a freebie!

    When did i stop being able to fit Hoola-Hoops over my fingers? :huh::think:

    Not sure if thats a general question or if you are asking someone specifically?

    Also not sure what Stock you mean, as i don't have stock you just order when your customer orders.

    I don't think its amazing either, i just think you get out exactly what you put in. If you put the catalogue in front of alot of doors you increase your chances of orders.

    If anyone is looking for loads of quick money, this isn't it. This (which i know is almost a swear word these days) is something you have to work at. Build customers, show other people how to do it and maybe in 3-5 years it'll payoff. I gave university a go (cost me 100x more than Kleeneze and so far its paid back diddly-poop!):rotfl::rotfl:

    Why are distributors selling their stock? Distributors don't keep stock?!! You only order what your customers order and anything you wish to purchase and if distributors are buying stock in bulk more fool them - you don't save anything that way! All distributors buy at the same price and customers buy at the price that's in the catalogue - there are no discounts for buying in bulk.
    And no, Kleeneze isn't amazing or special, it is what it is - a way for people to earn a second income and you can get out of it what you put in. People can earn a little or a lot it's up to them :)

    We've had a lot of people in your situation in here, and even more in the anything else money saving board, before it disappeared.

    They all came in saying how much they made the first time, and even the second time too. All claimed they were on track to get their money back and start making a profit.

    Sadly, to date, not one of them has come back to say they made a profit.

    get a lot of people who used to do it tho, some earned £00's per month but all gave up for something else.

    The lady who signed us up did smother us - whenever we emailed her (as didn't want to be on the phone for hours lol) she would never reply she always rang and the shortest phone call was about half an hour. Nice lady but not what we wanted, suit some people who want that kind of support but we found it a bit patronising tbh!

    That's because she is getting a cut of the money you make. She makes most of her money by persuading/encouraging you to get out and earn.

    In turn, she has someone above her who is getting a cut from what she earns and what she gets from your earnings. So she has someone "encouraging" her to keep on "encouraging" you to keep selling. And so it goes on up the pyramid.

    Some people think of it as "Earning money by helping other to earn", and some think of it as "Taking a cut from the earnings of the mugs you recruit"

    Well the only thing i can do is let you know how i get on. If it puts some food on the table it can only be a good thing.
    I know too many people sitting on their bums waiting for something to fall into their laps.
    Everyone makes money for someone else, thats how life works. It's actually very refreshing to have people i work with helping me to make money. I've worked with people before who did the exact opposite and we were supposed to be pulling together.

    I did a paper round when i was a kid and got £8.50 a week. I view this as the same thing. Of course the paper shop made money, and the company that owned the paper shop made money. Even the newspaper made money.

    BTW I love the way you just slip in the word "mug" into the 2nd sentence. :T :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi all,
    Just to clear a couple of things up and I mean this in a respectful way to those who have not tried network marketing. I used to be a Kleeneze rep - I gave up to start working with children and young adults with special needs because I believe that is what I was meant to do and I thoroughly enjoy it :) However I earned more as a Kleeneze rep! I made a profit every month! I had a lovely team of people and we worked together :) I never persuaded my team to get out there - I asked if there was anything that I could help them with and I went out with them when they needed me and left them to do their own thing if that's what they wanted. The people in my group were gutted when I left and we are still friends today - in fact one of those team members are in one of my party plan businesses with me! I did not get a cut from my team - I was paid by the company for group sales and my team members were paid bonuses personally, again by the company :) You will always get people who are going to try and push people sadly and then you will have people who never call or offer any kind of support which is a shame but that's a personal thing and they could probably do with some mentoring coaching. I personally always asked my team what they wanted because I believe the best team to have is a happy team.
    Another thing,it wasn't all about work - we enjoyed family bar-b-q's, bowling and one year we held a big xmas party for all of our chiildren with food,pantomine,(ahem we played the characters,lol) and of course santa made an appearance :)
    No 1 I agree with you - people who get off their backsides to try and change their situation for the better should be supported and praised.
    Jenny
