Karen Bæk, Skive, Denmark
My name is Karen. I’m 52 years old and have been a Green House dealer for about four months. I have worked in the same place since 1975. After the children left home, I have been very active in my spare time, but mostly with creative projects. In September 2007, I saw an advert in the paper that Green House was looking for new dealers. It sounded very interesting.
I called the office and had a nice chat with them. And before I made my final decision, a team leader came to visit, and we talked about how I might get started. I decided to give it a try, and today I am pleased to say that it was a good decision. Before receiving my first collection, I had already booked a couple of family members to host a home party. Things went really well, and I booked a couple more parties. At my work, I have a lot of colleagues, so I bring in clothes a couple of times a month, which also produces quite a few sales. I have hosted open house events at home, which are really fun. And I have fixed opening days throughout the month. I am really happy to be selling the Green House line, and it is an exciting world to be part of.
You have to be prepared to dedicate a good deal of time to it, and to think creatively. If you are interested and have the time, I highly recommend becoming a Green House dealer. We help you stage your entry on the fashion scene!
Sabrina Witte, Pliezhausen, Germany
In spring 2005, I came across Green House for the first time. My children had both started school and I had more spare time and also a strong desire to start working again. I started out with the spring/summer collection, which I presented to my friends and acquaintances. No matter who I visited, everybody was enthusiastic about Green House’s fashion.
Word quickly gets round about Green House, or rather any woman in a Green House outfit can be sure to attract comments about her beautiful clothes. I did not have to do all that much – new customers flooded in of their own accord. After the first season, I set up a small home shop. Customers now also started coming to my own house. Since I set up as a Green House dealer, my customer base has grown steadily. My customers come to me and enjoy the personal guidance which I can offer in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. However, many customers also appreciate the luxury of me coming to their houses to present my collections. Friends can then get together to try on lots of clothes.
Shopping at home after work is actually something quite special. I am really happy that I decided to become a Green House dealer. I have so much fun and feel very satisfied about my work. And I have also been quite successful. I have now been a Green House team leader for two years. I am very pleased to have taken on this responsibility as it means that I can pass on my enthusiasm to new dealers. I organise regular product events and workshops for my team.
Grethe Falkensten, Larvik, Norway
Grethe Falkensten, 41 years, two children aged 9 and 12. Married, lives in Larvik, eastern Norway. When I started out as a dealer, I contacted family, friends and colleagues first for my presentations. That was the beginning of what is now quite a large network of loyal customers. After just a few seasons, I was enjoying the work so much that I quit my job in a bank to focus all my attention on Green House. And I have never regretted that decision!
Being a dealer for Green House gives me enormous freedom, and being able to spend time with my children while they are still quite young has really meant a lot to us. In the beginning, I almost always did my presentations away from home, but over time, I have created my own space at home where I now do most of my presentations.
The best thing about working in this way is that you get to meet a lot of really nice and happy people! At the same time, you have the opportunity to work with other dealers. On several occasions, I have organised larger events with other dealers, including ladies nights, catwalk shows, sales events etc. Working as a Green House dealer has, without a doubt, become a lifestyle for me!
