Hi
This did catch my eye, and I requested all the info etc. I am an ex ann summers area organiser so this scheme would be a doddle to me. So I looked at territory manager.
Anyway I was told it was £6000 to own the territory of 118,000 homes and have 5 therapists working for me. You get all the training, kit, products etc and you also have to purchase the 5 kits for the therapists under your name with a £2390 upfront fee that is mainly VAT!
So outlay of £10,000 payable at £860 a month. Your girls pay you £25 a week for the rights to work in your territory and you get an extra 20% off fake bake products that these girls must buy off you. They also then pay £66 a month for their kits.
I think you are mistaken in saying you would have to pay the therapists £750. That is for them to pay to come onboard.
When I looked closely you have to pay £6000 every year for the territory!!!
Yes the income is excellent, but my Dad a frugal business man (and tight with his cash) looked at it and asked me, can you buy these products anyway as it stands and work mobile? 'Well Yes' I said. 'Then why pay a company £6000 a year to manage 5 girls'!
£6000 a year... if you have 5 girls working for you paying £25 a week (5 x £25 = £125) , 52 weeks a year, (52 x £125) = £6500. There is your yearly fee paid off for doing next to nothing. I do believe however Fake Bake have now stopped recruiting Territory Developers.
Yes £6000 a year! Ok the income is great, but as dad puts it whats in place to stop another girl (or me) with a fake bake account, purchasing the products, placing adverts in the paper with Fake Bakes name as the product (which would be what I use) and charge less than the Fake Bake at Home girls.
You're right in saying you can call yourself a mobile fake bake professional, but you do not have the revolutionary equipment, uniform or most importantly FB@H ID to be an official Fake Bake at Home Mobile Professional. What happens when you turn up at a customers door with your pig and tent and the customer asks to see your Fake Bake at Home ID...
Girls in my area charge £18 for a tan, Fake Bakes is £25 so theres a little problem!
£25 is the RRP price, most areas are offering tans at £20. If there is a party of 5 girls, the host gets there tan free; meaning only 4 full paying tans. if the 5 girls split the cost of £80 between them, it works out to £16 each! and thats to the clients door, they don't even need to leave their house!
Yes you get the kit etc but dad spotted another companies details I had that offered a great tan (it is fab) and the machine and tan cubicle all for £300! Ok daddy has a point here......
Daddy hasn't got a clue by the sounds of things! Yes there's lots of companies out there offering pigs and tents, Fake Bake's POD is a worlds first and unique to FakeBake. Plus, Fake Bake are officially the leading UK brand in self-tanning, why would anyone want to go anywhere else?!?
If you just want to work as a tanner under a manager, you have to pay £25 a week to the manager to work in the territory (you can not, and must not work outside that territory, which would be hard if your boardering one and a girl at one party wants a party who lives in a nother territory!) and you have to pay £66 a month or £750+VAT up front every year for your kit! So thats £174 a month before clients to pay out.
This does cover your insurance but then thats only £88 a year with guild or babtac, and you still have to advertise to get your own parties regardless of being independent or as Fake Bake at Home!
During the groundbreaking telling off of my Dad he reminded me that Fake Bake are going to get national coverage about this service, so by anyone putting the advert in the press that they do Fake Bake themselves in the same way as us at less than us we can wave bye bye to more profits!!!
I would have considered it if the £6000 was a one off fee, but to pay that every year! OUCH!!!!
