    I am earning £25 an hour.... happy now?

    Wasn't that difficult to say, was it?

    So if someone at ground level devotes 30 hours a week to their Kleeneze operation they should earn £750 a week and if they did it for 44 weeks a year (allowing for holidays, sickness etc), they should have a gross income of £33,000 per annum. Not a bad return., so why aren't more people doing it.

    Now you know fine well that is not how it works. I am not at ground level. What you have done is made assumptions about the figures based on earning £25 an hour which is highly unlikely as a new starter otherwise as you say more people would be doing it. I was going to go on to explain what a new starter could expect to earn but then I won't bother because you will only twist the figures to suit your purpose.

    I did two tours of duty with Bware. I wasn't very good - the most I made was £300. You could see what the others were doing by chatting to the van man. Certainly the one getting delivered to after me was making 400 or 500 a week, and he'd got it down to 2 (long) days work. It's very hazy but I think 1 in 10 houses bought on average. The punters were mostly senile and if the tat broke, would buy 2 lots the next time. I should have sold them sweets or something. Or wills. I think it's worth doing once. Great for meeting kooks. Go to every house in your town and you won't be scared of Al Quaeda again. Loons in every street.

    So you only work 2 hours to get the £50 a week you talk about in previous posts. Is this before or after deductions.

    I did heaps of hours because I was the worst recruiter ever. Still they can be at 2am etc. Hours in the field don't have to be much. Tat in a cat and a chat. Beats watching Jeremy Kyle, but not as fun as a real job.

    Evading the issue yet again!

    If anyone was considering becoming a Kleeneze agent, your attitude certainly won't encourage them!

    I don't know what level in Kleeneze you're at and in my book if I make £25 an hour, then multiplying that out gets me to the figure of £33K. If you make ambiguous statements, then don't be surprised if they are incorrectly interpreted.

    If I am interested in an employment opportunity, my two main concerns are how much an hour I am paid and how many hours I have to work. Obviously also whether I want to do that particular type of work.

    Once again this poster is twisting the figures; When we earned £50 per week we had just started in the business. £50 is typically what a new starter can expect to earn in a week for approx 10 - 12 hours of their spare time working with 200 catalogues.

    I totally agree with your figure of £33k per annum based on £25 an hour for a 30 hour week, I have done the maths and yes you are correct. However I do not work a 30 hour week, some once again your assumption is incorrect.

    With regard to my attitude, I have been completely honest in every posting, it is you and your cohorts who are doing other readers a dis-service with your twisting of any information that I post.

    So less than £5 an hour, which is what I suggested in the first place and you can't accuse me of twisting the figures.

    I have never questioned your honesty. Just your inability to give a direct answer to a question which suggests things may not be as rosy as you would have us believe.

    Oh, and they're not my "cohorts". and I don't twist your information.
