I used to work for rainbow and yes, you CAN make a lot of money doing that. But you have to be a real piece of shit to be successful. Seriously, everyone that I worked with including the owner was a toolbag-in-a-halfshell.
edit- and Rainbow \> Kirby

Yeah they provide all the transportation…they set up the appointments and drive me there, i do the 1 1/2 hr demo and go to my nect appointment. So thats good cuz it saves me gas. The incentive plan is wicked awsome. Its $1800 a month base pay. You have to do 56 demos a month (every 30 days) to get the base pay. so if you sell none u still get money, but say i sell 4 of em in a week…thats around a $1000 check, depending on what if any bonuses I get with the particular sale.

im not getting into this, ive had this discussion before
the rainbow deal \> the kirby deal, but only if your willing to set your own appointments and be responsible for earning your own money … kirby just blankets a neighborhood and hopes for the best

When all is said and done, you are still a vacuum cleaner salesman. If that doesnt bother you then hey, bust a nut.

and oh yea, worst case senario, asuming you actualy know how to do in home sales, 56 demos at rainbow would earn you $2800 minimum (all B deals)
56 demos @ rainbow, assuming 50% “A” and 50% “B” deals would be in the region of $5200 for the month
and considering you get $100 for each rainbow one of your recruits sells, the more good dealers you bring into the biz, the more extra money you make
one of the dealers from olean makes $1000 a week … selling only ONE rainbow … because the entire olean team was recruited by her

My brother in law did the Kirby thing for about a month. At first he bought into their whole brainwashing and thought he was going to be rich. Selling $1500 vacuums in WNY when you can go to BJ’s and get $400 Dyson that works just as well is a real tough sell. Even if the Dyson lasts 5 years, and the Kirby 15, I can still buy almost 4 Dyson’s for the cost of one Kirby. And who knows what kind of advancement will be made in vacuum technology 5 years from now.

I did it for about 6 months, Cantsay I really enjoyed it but I did learn alot. 56 demo’s is alot in 30 days trust me. People think its easy but it really isn’t. Some people have the knack for it and come natural.

My parents had a Rainbow and it worked awesome.
As for 56 demos in a month… damn…
That’s a lot of repetative speeches to give in a month. I think I’d grow tired of it in .5 days.
Good luck.
