 I loved my job at MRM, the money was great and the job itself is pretty simple: set up and expalin the equpment by doing a demonstration. Not too tough, I see people constantly saying they had no clue it was kirby they were hired for or had no clue they would work so many hours. There's no way thats true unless they simply can't pay attention to whats being explained and discussed in the actual job interview. The GM explained the whole process to me and while I was skeptical, I really needed work. I've heard all of the complaints- friends and family discouraging me from even showing up for my first day of orientation. Either way I bit the bullet and decided "what do I have to lose?" I had already been out of work for some time and had trouble finding anything decent and a promise of $1,200 every two weeks sounded pretty amazing. They have company trips and with 15 sales in a month you can go on a trip all expense paid. after working there for only a couple months I went on a trip to Club Med!!! It was a great get away!! I will say that its a lot of hours a lot of work but the work isnt difficult if you can just sit back and learn. My manager Reggie was off the chain and after 3 weeks i recieved a $1,600 check. Take that everyone who says its not true! Im looking to buy a new car and that was really the boost i needed to get my bills in order. I decided to leave the company this fall to go back to school, and they informed me about the scholarship program they have too. It may not be what i want to do forever, but if you willing to work really hard and put the pedal to the metal when it comes to your finances I'd say this is a pretty good place to be. I know direct sales isn't for everyone but theyll teach you too. Hope this helps!!

#3 UPDATE Employee ..inside information

KIRBY IS AWESOME!!!

AUTHOR: Terrance - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, October 21, 2015

For those who want to come on here trying to bash MRM Marketing and Kirby. Let me make this real clear for you so you can get out your little feelings. Kirby is a highly successful company, matter of fact a Fortune 500 company....(do the research yourself) and a lot of people join the Kirby opportunity. But what annoys me to the core is when negative, close-minded individuals come on here trying to trash Kirby. It is inevitable that there are people who are successful and who become good leaders and then there are those who do not succeed. There are many people who make a ton of money with Kirby, some have even went on to owning their own businesses through Kirby and becoming multi-millionaires. The ones who don't succeed or should I say 'suck at direct sales, close-minded and never saw the bigger picture' are quick to blame the company and say it's all a scam and more than likely you are broke living paycheck to paycheck. I am a employee of MRM Marketing and they were very honest with me during my interview and orientation. It wasn't no bullshit. I was told upfront exactly what I would be doing....unless you are deaf, don't pay attention or whatever the case may be, they let you know what you'll be doing. Ever since I've been with MRM Marketing, I've been very, very successful. I've been on so many VIP trip such as Club Med, Cancun, Mexico, The Bahamas, Orlando Florida (Universal Studios), New Orleans, LA, etc. I've never made this much money before in my life working minium wage jobs. I bring home $1500 weekly (YES WEEKLY!) plus comission and bonuses. Now could you really make that much at a minium wage job?.....NO YOU CAN'T! thanks to the great leaders and mentors at MRM Marketing and Kirby I've had on this great journey so far, I will be opening up my own distribution business really soon & I'm so excited!!! Kirby is not for the weak-minded, it's for those with a RHINO MENTALITY. Is Kirby long hours? YES! Is it hard work? YES! but if you're willing to work hard, show up everyday with a positive attitude and determination to succeed an learn, than this is the opportunity for you! If you want to be financially free, give you and your family a better life and create the life you really desire, then this is the opportunity for you! This opportunity is not for everyone, but just because it did not work out for you does not mean you have to trash the company. On here trying to bash Kirby because you think putting in a 9-5 job will gain you financial freedom. Anyone with common sense knows that success does not sleep and you have to put in long hours to become successful.....you can ask any real entrepreneur that! No matter how much math you do or what negative comments you say, at the end of the day....you're still living paycheck to payceck or on a salary....while people like me are well on their way to having their own business and becoming a millionaire. Living paycheck to paycheck, on a salary is no way to truly live. Maybe it's a comfortable life for most but it's not really freedom because at the end of the day you're working for someone else making them rich. You and you family's life financially is in the hands of that 'BOSS' and your time of making money is limited until he or she says so. I mean come on, that's no way to live. I'd rather be in control of my own life and future financially, instead of someone else being in control of it. I know for most this is going over your head but I refuse to be a slave to the system.

For the record, I wasn't bragging simply offering advice since everyone seems so discouraged. I've noticed how so many people sit behind computer screens acting as if their words hold any weight in real life. By the way I got back with the company and im doing online classes so I can work and im pulling in 1,500+ weekly(sales are paid out weekly) and I'm going to the Bahamas in January wich im soooo excited about!!!!!! Good day to ya!

People don't know it's Kirby because they deliberately post misleading job ads and conveniently leave out certain words like "Kirby", "Commission", "door to door", "Sales, etc.

If Kirby was such a great job, the ads would be 100% clear and upfront. They are not.

You claim you made $1,600.00 for 3 weeks of work and you seem proud of that. Let's examine that further: If Kirby was a "normal" job, you would have worked 3 weeks @ 40 hours a week. Your hourly wage would have been $13.33 per hour. HOWEVER, with Kirby, you work AT LEAST 6 days a week for AT LEAST 12 hours per day. You have to, to make the required minimum demos. So, working 12 hours a day for 6 weeks, that would give you an hourly wage of $7.40 (no OT, of course, you are an independent contractor). That amount is barely above minimum wage!  Now, if you are like a lot of peddlers, you worked 7 days a week @ 12 hours a day. That would give you an hourly wage of $6.35, which is not even minimum wage,

Personally, I would bet you made more like $160.00 but even if by some rare stroke of luck you got a $1600.00 check, that is still, depending on your hours, either:

13.33

7.40

6.35

 

And that ain't nothing to brag about!
