i have a secret (to some people)

So now I feel good about telling everybody that I have been training to be a Rainbow dealer. Check out the Rainbow at rainbowsystem.com if you would like, or you could just ask me! I made my first sale so now I can say I am an official dealer.

I made my first sale Saturday night after spending 5 hours in the home. I got the referral from Karel. It was for a woman she shares a big office with at the school where she works. This sale was extra special. The woman told Karel to let me know they "weren't going to buy one" and Karel wanted to make sure I knew so that I wouldn't be disappointed if they really liked it but turned it down. Karel and I purchased ours after I swore repeatedly I wasn't going to buy anything the sales guy (Charles) was going to bring over. Now we are new friends! The point is we all weren't going to get one and after we saw just what it was and what it could do we knew it was necessary to own in order to have a truly clean home.

The husband loved it so much because they vacuumed their house 3 times that week before I arrived, thinking they got all the dirt and my rainbow wouldn't find any dirt left behind. They were amazed at the large volume of junk i effortlessly got out of their carpets and couches proving their Dyson was junk.
The part that won him over above the rest was how easily i removed a gross, and long set stain they had in one of their rooms. I asked the woman if they had any stains, she said "yes, but it's in the carpet and it's old." I replied with "so?". The rainbow is incredible! All that is needed is to pour cold water over the stain no matter how old, rub it out with the upholstery tool, and then suck up the remains. I left them a glowing white circle in their dirty carpet and both their jaws dropped.

The husband uses (ha ha used!) a bissel to shampoo his carpet every month and after i showed how useless his machine is and that the rainbow could do that and much more he wanted it, even though they both agreed to not buy one.

Selling the rainbow part time is going to be incredibly profitable! I start at a base minimum for each one I sell. If I bring in someone who then graduates from training and does their first demonstration i get a $100 raise per sale. I can also get a raise for 5 sales. So 5 sales or 1 graduate gets me a $100 raise per sale. I got someone to come in and he finished training last week so now after he completes his first demonstration of the rainbow, whether or not he sells one I get a $100 raise!
Also every rainbow he sells I get to profit off of too because he is directly below me. So the more people I get to come in and start showing rainbows, the more $ I can make more easily.

Whats great with getting referrals is that we get them from the customers we are already seeing so a bunch of annoying phone calls to strangers don't have to happen. We get the customer to call their friends and ask if we can do the demonstration. They never have to buy anything and get a free gift just for letting us do it. Also by helping us get into other peoples homes the customer who is giving all the referrals get free stuff too! It makes them so much more cooperative with getting us into other homes.

This is me with my first successful vacuum kill! also if the customer trades in their vacuum they get the carpet tool called the "power nozzle" normally $489 for free. the company ends up using the vacuums for training and then donates them to salvation army or similar.



I enjoy this because I own a rainbow and it's not a scam at all. This thing actually cleans better than anything on the market as far as vacuums but the rainbows isn't even classified as a vacuum because it uses a tub of water instead of a bag to filter the nasty stuff. The tub of water doesn't block up like bags do because water doesn't have holes to block up, therefore allowing the rainbow to always have 100% airflow. The machine really sells itself, I just need to refine my demonstration so that I can better show people they really need one, and they do! You reading this need one too if you actually want your house clean!

Ok I am going to bed now but feel free to comment, and I don't have a problem with answering any questions about this if you have them! bye
