NWDC LLC Kirby Vacuums Not a full time job, not customer service! Gresham Oregon
I started work here, last week, I turned down two job offers to do it. It is so vague the whole time, but I stuck with it thinking there would be more potential later. Then I started talking to people who had been there for a couple months (like 2). Then I went out with them for DOOR TO DOOR sales. They said after the first day of orientation, you are getting paid, but really that whole first week isn't paid unless you harraunge all of your friends and family into watching you present the Kirby. It is not full time, they want you there 7 days a week. They will not pay you unless you are there 6 days a week and work all day, where they will keep you out in neighborhoods that have already been knocked on 3 times, my first night I worked for 13 hours.

Well, yes it is odd. I too rode the train for the three day training and the Saturday thinking this could be a viable income. They give you a partial idea via training over the first 2 of the three day training. But by the third days end you become aware of the reality. They expect you to hammer on your friends and relitives as though you are 10 years old and selling scout cookies over the weekend. from there they pile you into a van on Monday to "green card" neighborhood pitching $1000 worth of free grocerys at any store you want and the "chance" to also win a carpet cleaning. - good idea, but extremly inefficient. I went out with another to witness a days worth of demos. Of course these folks are not pre-qualifed in any way, so the 1st appointment was a no sale due to money and poor credit and the 2nd appoimtment was placed by "your personal assistant" whom made the following appointments too close to the first and we arrived an hour late and only had 1/2 hour to make the normal 2 hour pitch and our third was too far away to make that one too. If you do not do 15 appointments in the week - no base of $525 The product is top notch and worth the price all day! the marketing is poor at best. My complaint is simply this: If you have countless dollars for gas and even more time (7 days a week) and like singing rah-rah songs at the morining meetings to get all pumped up, you can earn a living. But 85K plus as suggested is another story... like any sales job you get out what you put in I just feel it's a great place to begin a sales career while still living at home, not so much for the person with responsilblitys and a life.
