I have just spotted "Geordie Joe" 's post. Sorry if I didn't make it quite clear for our Doset-based posters!:T
As with anything else it IS necessary to weigh up the pro's & cons - no pun intended!
As Kleeneze is a commission only biz op it is absolutely vital that you carry out due diligence and research the opportunity fully.
If you think you "dive" in and "make a fortune" - forget it. If you want a bit of pin money and like meeting people and are at a loose end 1 or 2 evenings a week, then you could enjoy it. DO make sure that you have a potential customer base! As OP suggests, it's no good taking such an opportunity on if you live in a village of 10 people!
I'm sorry, if I omitted what seems to be a "given" ! DOH!
Hi, also to "The" , I think I know your brothers, "Thee" and "Thou":rotfl::wave:
Basically, Kleeneze is a company that retails via catalogue door-to-door. It sells a range of Household products. Like Avon but not as smelly:think:

I actually spoke to one I saw whilst working at a customers, in fact we sat and had coffee and discussed it.
What she told me was the bottom line not sales pitch.
Don't expect to earn anything hardly for the first 6 months as this is when you establish your customer database, which houses to call at regularly 'cos they order and which to miss.
Eventually you'll know area by area who to deliver regularly to and you'll start making money.If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat. :beer::beer:0 -
Then you have to expand it area by area and eventually you start to rake it in.
It still sounded a lot of hard work though for the return.
I tried it and hated it when it came to picking up catalogues then having to go back again for those that had forgot or weren't in.
Then delivering the goods, then having to go back again and again till you caught everybody in. then you catch them in and they have no money on them and wife has taken cheque book out with her.

This is what they tell you, just to keep you working for at least 6 months.
The way they explain it, it sounds plausable. Just put out 100 books, ten people order, so only give them books next time and then drop the other 90 books to 90 new house.
The problem with this is your area gets bigger each time. The first time you deliver the books you deliver to the 100 houses nearest you. By the time you have done this ten times your "area" covers 1,000 houses. The customers you do get don't all live in the same street, they will be well spread out over the area, so going back and forward to the house, when customers aren't in or don't have the money, gets harder and harder.
Then you have to factor in that most customers don't order more than once or twice. So you have to enlarge your "area" even more.
Then comes the day you wander into someone else's "area". The people you dropped the books off at put them out on the day their "normal" rep comes and he/she just goes around picking them up. Gaining your books and any orders you may have got.
No to mention the people who bin the book as soon as it comes through the door, or leave it out in the rain just to let you know they are sick of Kleeneze books coming through the door. And the people who give them to the kids to draw on before leaving them out.
So you have to continually buy new books and go further and further afield just to find customers.
The only way to actually make money is to recruit others and let them do the hard work. You have to continually recruit new mugs, but that is easier than tramping the streets in ever widening circles just to make a little money. Just tell them that the people who do not make money are the ones who don't put in the work, don't follow the magic formula or don't stick at it long enough.
You also have to frequent forums and defend Kleeneze at every opportunity, it's hard to recruit people if they only hear bad things about it. So you have to jump in and say "if you work hard, use the formula and listen to your mentors, you will make money".0
