We’re in the news!

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

West briton articleCressy and I were in the newspaper yesterday. I’ve copied the text below along with the photo that was included - nothing like a bit of free advertising! The article got straight to the point , that a good income from a home based business is available to anyone, no matter where in the country they live. This business is a real lifestyle choice, and means that people are no longer tied to the cities. The article in full:

Cornish couple benefit from staying in county

A young Cornish couple who refused to move out of the county to seek their fortunes have built a business with a turnover well in excess of £100,000 in just 18 months.

From their home in Penhallow Close, Mount Hawke, Bill Deakin and Cressy Chapman run a Kleeneze franchise. Bill, who was born and grew up in St.Agnes, is a graduate of Manchester University.

“Half of my friends wanted to move back to Cornwall after university and the others moved to the city for well paid jobs. For me there was no choice because after three years in Manchester I didn’t want to stay away from Cornwall any longer.”

Bill, who is a self-employed web designer, had his interest in Kleeneze sparked by a business card stuck on the window of his car.

“I thought there was potential there but didn’t know whether it would work for me. I didn’t really expect that much.”

He and Cressy now head a team of 15 and have just been entertained to an all expenses five-star trip to Budapest. They hope their franchise of Kleeneze, which operates catalogue sales, will reach a turnover of £250,000 turnover this year.

Bill added: “If someone had told me while studying at uni that I’d be selling mops for a living, and enjoying it, I would have laughed. Whoever said we couldn’t stay in Cornwall and have a successful career should take a look at the Kleeneze opportunity.”

An Evening At Warwick Castle

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

Now that the European conference has been moved to the summer, you could be forgiven for thinking that there wasn’t the incentive to build your business as fast over the summer months - wrong! Kleeneze have just announced that a new incentive will be running to qualify for an amazing sounding night of entertainment at Warwick castle in October.

To qualify:

  • Across Periods 7, 8 and 9, make it to Gold and hold it for one more period (e.g. make Gold in 7 and hold it in 8 or 9).
  • At Gold and above – move up the Sales Plan and hold it for one more period (as above.)

The party will be held on 2 dates, 7th and 8th October and will be a fantastic way to celebrate your achievments this year with your team. If the entertainment is anything like what Kleeneze laid on in Budapest it will be a night to remember. There will be stolling entertainment, a fantastic meal and a special guest speak (TBA)… Make sure you are there!

Budapest

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Wow - what a conference!  Budapest truley is a beautiful city and we certainly got to see it in style.  238 attendees were rewarded for their efforts this year with a fantastic celebration.  From the moment we arrived Kleeneze looked after us in style.  From the river cruise to the gala dinner at the world famous Gundel restaurant it really was a weekend to remember.  The Hilton hotel was located right in the heart of the Castle District in the old walled city and the room windows had marvelous views out across the Danube.  Of course the training from the network stars was also great to hear, the atmosphere was electric and I don’t know about anyone else, but I certainly can’t wait for next year!
