what do you term half a day?
300 calls would take around 2.5-3.5 hours on an average housing area by my reckoning

i would term 3.5hrs a half day... or there abouts covering 2 estates. A bit longer when your pushing a twin pram

Makes you wonder why these reps I mentioned prior are shy to mention kleeneze prior on the job match site are happily guaranteeing minimum wage, when they cannot gurantee the orders recieved. The clincher though is they have no patch area. The latest catalogue I got was from an agent nearly 20 miles away! Must mean lots of local reps getting their feat trod on hence the multiple mags. The big money is made by the people pushers feeding on newbies hoping to make it big, they flash the posh car the holidays, getting percentage on others in the downline x

You have just summed up in one sentence why I (and many other experienced posters on here) consider the whole MLM business model to be a scam.

....Well it isn't a scam because the people below will always earn more than the guys at the top. For example lets have my team member A sell £1000. He gets £260 (26% comission) I would get £30 (3% network bonus). ....

Nah, the people at the top will always earn more than the guys at the bottom. MLM works on the basis of recruiting a constant stream of muggles at the bottom of the chain who work like stink making those sales of £1,000 only then to realise that the £260 they've earned works out at about 30p an hour and then (very wisely) give up. Whereas the guy at the top gets £30 for each and every one of the 1000 muggles he's signed up.

Why do you think the likes of Kleeneze are always recruiting? You'd think that sooner or later they'd have enough 'agents' to get national coverage.
