Get on board

Oriflame, the Swedish skincare and cosmetics company, is enjoying a renaissance throughout the uk and ireland

Introduced into the UK 41 years ago, Oriflame is currently recording record growth, posting a 28 per cent increase in sales in 2010 and current growth of 40 per cent in 2011.

Having started life in the UK as a ‘party plan’ company, Oriflame has now expanded its operation to incorporate all aspects of direct sales and can now give potential consultants a variety of options according to the time they have available. These include: 

• Door to door sales.

• Party plan.

• Selling to family and friends.

• Building a business by introducing people into their team.

VIABLE

When asked what were the reasons for Oriflame’s outstanding success in recent years, Peter Sykes, the company’s national sales director, was quoted as saying: “I believe that the current economic situation has made people realise that direct sales is a viable option for people who want an extra income or who are looking to change their career and lifestyle. I have always loved direct sales because it gives you the opportunity to control your own destiny.

“Anybody can make a good part-time income or a full-time career from direct sales if they are prepared to put in the effort. We have seen some fabulous results from people, especially over the past three years, and we have recently had to create new levels of management to accommodate the extraordinary success that people are achieving. “We have also seen a huge increase in the number of people aged over 50 joining us - many of whom have enjoyed great success.

I believe people in this age group really understand the potential Oriflame can offer and also have the passion and commitment to push their business forward. It really is a good chance for those who, in the current economic climate, perhaps feel vulnerable in their traditional employment to supplement their income by jumping on board and creating their own earning opportunity.” 

What makes the Oriflame opportunity one that people should look closely at?

• It is free to join.

GOOD CAREER MOVE

Entrepreneurial Mike Cook decided to give up his catering career to build his own business with Oriflame. “I joined Oriflame back in 2000 after many years in the catering industry,” he explains. “The reason for joining was simple - the catering industry meant anti-social hours and very hard work, which did not suit someone with an injured back.

“My parents had run a successful Oriflame business for many years and persuaded me it would be a good career move for me and my wife Annette.”

Mike adds: “I have built a very good retailing business over the years, indeed the largest in the UK. Over the past two years I have focused on building a team and managing them using modern communication such as social media, internet sites and webinars.

“Earlier this year I reached the status of regional manager. I manage a very successful and enthusiastic team without the need to travel thousands of miles, which is simply not possible for someone with an injured spine. 

“Whether you are looking to make sales, run a small team on a part-time basis or build a big business to support your family, Oriflame is a great choice.”

Oriflame is actively looking for the following (nationwide opportunities): part-time consultants, part-time and full-time managers, and party planners.
