You had a very unfortunate experience with betterware. Ive been a distributor for 22 years and it suits me just fine. Yes it has been hard work, not easy, out in the rain, snow, cold, hungry, but meeting people and making friends and earning 25quid a week to start with, then doing more i earned up to 80-100quid. I enjoy it, but as i said, its not easy. But it is not the companys fault that new distributors have bad experiences. Depending on your co-ordinator, i.e. how helpful they are and patient they are can depend on whether a distributor stays or not, and its the co-ordinator who sometimes give distributors the wrong impression of betterware; some are helpful, some arnt, some are understanding, some arnt, some are honest, some arnt. I lost alot of books, they got wet through, ripped up, threw away....... ..... its when your faced with these situations, you decide what your going to do. For me, it was an eye opener on people and how they are. But it was better than being stuck at home, and unknowingly, this job was building my confidence up no end. I didnt start betterware for the money you see, i wanted to get out and meet people, i had a 6 month old baby. But no, it wasnt fair that xxx said he would only give you 10%, like he said, he was covering his own costs first, but this incident has nothing to do with betterware as a company, that was the c.o's decision. A nd he should have processed your order, he should have given you some time to build up your sales. Its incidents like this that realy do give betterware such a bad reputation as a waste of time and a con. Yes it is hard to start with, every established distributor will tell you that. But many have made it and enjoy it.
