VDI with no investment: discover the advantages of being a fashion consultant

What are the risks ofworking as a home-based sales assistant with no investment ?

You want to start a home-based selling business, but you're wondering about the financial effort it will require. It's a perfectly legitimate question, because some activities carried out with self-employed status involve raising funds. Find out more about VDI without investment.

No financial risk

Some home sales brands ask home sales consultants to invest in a VDI starter kit. Depending on the company, this initial investment can be significant.

This mode of operation can go hand in hand with a certain amount of stress and pressure for salespeople, as they first have to make sure that they get a return on their initial investment. Some brands offer a refund on this starter kit under certain conditions. In practice, however, this type of practice is not authorised. VDI must not require any financial investment on the part of sellers, whatever the sector of activity. The activity must not represent a financial risk.

At Elora, everything is organised according to the rules of the trade. No financial contribution is required from the fashion consultants. Each of them benefits from the peace of mind they need to start their business. When you become a fashion consultant, the emphasis is on your skills, your passion for selling and your personal commitment!

So don't hesitate to turn to Elora. We are constantly recruiting housewives, women who are retraining or who want to supplement their income.

No risk of financial dependence

At Elora, everyone invests according to their desires and needs. It's possible to start a mail-order business without any financial investment:

• a full-time job ;
• a part-time or extra job, to make ends meet and finance various projects.

All women entrepreneurs manage their business as they see fit and at their own pace. Because they are self-employed, they are entirely responsible for their own finances. There is no financial dependence on the brand.

Becoming a VDI with no investment and earning their own money is a step towards greater financial independence for many women.

VDI, a personal investment

As we have said, VDI as a personal stylist does not require any financial investment, but rather a personal investment. It means devoting time to your business in order to maximise your sales results. In short, each salesperson is responsible for her own success and can create the job that suits her.

To pave your way to success, there are three fundamental ingredients: self-fulfilment, the right support and training.

Fulfilment as a fashion consultant

At Elora, success is impossible without fulfilment.

Fashion consultants are true fashion enthusiasts who put their love of clothes to work for customers. Combining colours, analysing body shapes, listening to customers' needs to create the best outfits for their personality and style, highlighting the strengths of the collections, and so on. they let their expertise speak for itself, in the service of a company in tune with their tastes.

The bonus? Fulfilment is not just about fashion. For many personal stylists, VDI is also an opportunity to satisfy their desire to learn a little more. By being their own boss, sales consultants gradually acquire skills in a variety of areas, including communication, marketing, accountancy, coaching, the Internet and team management. There is also progress in sales techniques. This is a constant feature as you become more professional and decide to become a fashion consultant on an almost full-time basis.

Elora's support and training

At Elora, we don't just offer jobs for housewives or those looking to retrain. Sales consultants are supported and guided to success by coaches and experienced Elora fashion consultants.

This support is provided mainly through :

• themed training courses (particularly via e-learning) ;
• seminars in France.

These are organised throughout the year by the company.

On a day-to-day basis, fashion consultants can also count on their peers to provide them with quality advice and information on the best way or ways to take off professionally. All of this is done with kindness and empathy, in keeping with Elora's values.

As for the rest, it's up to each consultant to prove herself and give herself the means to achieve her income goals. Success is within everyone's grasp, and none of the 1,200 sales consultants will tell you otherwise!

Whether you're a mum who wants to work from home (or with hostesses) or you're looking for a change of direction, VDI without investment is an excellent professional challenge.
