Complaint Review: Kirby Company - Specifically Platinum Distribution Loveland CO - Loveland Colorado

 I currently work for the kirby company for another distributor. I have for some time now. I as a dealer (entry level position) made great money. I have never made more anywhere. I made almost 20 grand in 4 months in total.

Yes mt training was unpaid. But it's funny how you left out the part where you signed a contract that agreed to being paid a guaranteed amount of money so long as you did your part and did 12 to 15 demos a week is the standard program. It was your personal responsibility to see to that. The team leader invested in gas and gifts for you to get around but you failed and blame Kirby?

It's really sad you want to act like a victim when at any point during your month you could have left once you were told it was door to door. You can also run a lead program should u so choose. Yes the hours can be lomg but that is totally voluntary because you are a 1099 contrqcted employee.

It doesn't take a sales guru to be successful you just have to be willing to do the demos amd the sales come. Period. The opportunity is very real and it has changed my life. I currently am now a team leader as of last week and i am making even more money now. I know for a fact the program works if you are willing to do the work.

If you want to show up and do bare minimum for a pay check this job is not for you. But if you are hungry there are millions to be had. And yes the kirby is worth every penny they are sold for and are backed by a great rebuild plan for life. How you only sold 2 Kirby in 2-4 weeks blows my mind if you were putting in those kind of hours.

You must have been riding around in the van all day long instead of doing demos. I sold 6 to 7 a week consistently for months. I sold 24+ my first month in the business with zero sales experience. Yes it's hard at times if you let it be. You just have to get out of your own way and let the numbers play out.

This job has given me freedom to choose my own hours, i leave for a paid vacation to New Orleans in 2 weeks, i just got promoted, and I'm on my way to becoming a distributor and truly empowering myself to be my own boss and having my own office. Yes the hours are long.. But they are long in college and working to pay rent ontop of that, i saw being a dealer as my college education except i was getting paid for it As well.

You can graduate to a distributor making $100,000 but you have to be willing to work for it just like anything else in life worth having. I make many times more than my girlfriend does who nearly has a masters in social work with $85,000 dollara in student loan debt too and i did it as a dealer at entry level. And my pay will only increase as i move through the ranks.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but you failed the opportunity not the other way around. I agree though that recruiting tactics can be a bit blind sometimes. I was hired in a similar fashion but my training lasted 3 days and it was only about 3 hours a day.

So yes they should have gotten you out in the field sooner. But to suggest you didn't understand it was door to door for a month of working there is stupid. It isn't for everyone because not everyone can overcome the negative side of their brains during the learning phase. But those that break through are sweetly rewarded.

Kirby creates salesmen and women and has granted true opportunity to so many people and created many millionaires, supported many families, and empowered me as an individual. Just because it didn't work out for you doesn't mean you should get on here in an attempt to ruin it for someone else.

Guys if you are hungry and willing to work hard for control of your Destiny Then Kirby truly is a very real opportunity. The only person standing in your way is yourself in this business. We Are Positive!

I live in Indiana and the same thing happened to me! You have said absolutely everything I want to say to these people I hope they read these posts and realize how wrong what they are doing is. It has to be a company wide thing for it to happen in two different states. I walked out the door on day one!

Is this the Place on 177 S. Madison Avenue. I just called and got an interview tomorrow. I live about 45 minutes away and I need to know if I shouldn't waste my time or money on this interview. I'm desperate too and needed a job.
