Selling rainbow

[kirbyduh]

Ok... Tomorrow I am beginning to fulfill one of my biggest dreams by selling rainbows. My first demonstration is tomorrow at my grandparent's house. Wish me luck. Does antibody have any advice?

Hey

You're in KY?


Cool!

It's too bad there aren't specific leads for "clean freaks" because it usually takes an OCD clean freak like me to buy one.........They are great machines - especially the newest ones....

Incidentally - you're user name is Kirby duh......is there a reason you prefer to sell Rainbows over Kirby? I only ask because that's what your user name suggests..

Selling Rainbow

Lane,
Make SURE and demo the Rainbowjet. I got one with my new machine and love it for the hard floors. I have posted before on the vac forum about how well it works.
It was one of those things that I thought I would NOT use but I love it and use it all the time.
Also make sure the customer understands how easy it is to now change from one type of cleaning (carpet cleaning) to wet floor cleaning with the new electric hose and electric wands. Ease of use for the new model is a big selling point compared to my old Rainbow SE.
LOVE the new power nozzle too and those side brushes are so advanced compared to my other power nozzles.

I sold..

D-3s in the 80s, Rainbow is one product that is really better than it used to be, unlike many others.

Rainbow

Rainbow has always been my favorite. I just got on a kirby kick when I made my profile! Haha. The dealer I'm working for is super. He gives me rainbow stuff all the time.

It is good to hear that there are still Rainbow dealers out there. The one we have locally is a Hit-and-run dealer. They have an office, but after they sell you in the home, try, just try to find someone around to buy consumables or get service.

It was never like this when Mr. Houser was alive.

In any case, good luck with selling Rainbows. You may have some customers on this site if the bug bites and you are willing to ship.

I love...

My new Rainbow Black Anniversary Edition. I got it a little less than a year ago. It was hard justifying the $950 it cost me, but I went ahead and got it anyway. Wonderful machine. I use it once a month - it's my "good vacuum". Normally, I use an upright because the Rainbow is just sooooo much trouble to get out of the closet all the time.

I'd love to have the new Rainbow. I lack the funds to buy all the vacs I want right now. I'd sure love to put the shampooer and the Rainbowjet to good use. I want the Aerus Platinum too so that's the one I will buy in the near future because it will be the general use vacuum.

 

[kirbyduh]

Well..

I sold it. I am going to get trained on the 2 new attachments; the mini jet and the super mop.

I sold the single-speed E Series around 2000-03

I'm under the assumption that each area and distributor operates entirely differently. A woman I work with said her son worked for a defunct local dealer and they were all high pressure, quotas, fly by night type.

One I do it for has been around for years, has everything down to a service dept and does it with a zero pressure let the machine sell itself approach.

If you get hooked up with a good one it is fun work.

An RGD (Registered General Distributor) is the best one to work for. They are Rexair's customer, and generally stay in the area and maintain a service center. People that they promote became Area Distributors, and buy their Rainbows (for resale) from the RGD. They are usually fairly good. Watch out for the Sub Distributors. They pay so much for their Rainbows (from the Area Distributor) that they definitely are high pressure, fly by night type operations.
