Here, Kirsty tells us about her life in homeworking…
“Some days I might go to a customer’s house, like yesterday I spent two hours at a customer’s house booking a Vegas trip for her big 60th birthday coming up. We had a cuppa and a laugh talking about all things travel, and then I went to another customer’s house to drop off her tickets. She invited me in to talk about the charity event that I’m involved in alongside her, so we spoke about plans for that, then I had to shoot off as I had to be in Liverpool at 6pm for the Balkan trade training event, which was a fantastic night. “Last week I also attended the Tipto roadshows in Liverpool and Southport and was lucky enough to win a seven- night James Villas holiday courtesy of James Villas and Hoeseasons!
“I wake up at 7am every day and get my daughter, Layla, ready for school. When I get back from the school run I make a cuppa and get on my laptop. The morning is usually filled with sourcing and posting lots of deals onto my Facebook page to start generating interest. After lunch I start answering inbox messages on Facebook. At 3pm I leave to pick Layla up from school and then spend four hours with her; we’ll walk the dog, Joey, sometimes pop in to see my mum, go to the park to play football or basketball, read books and have tea. I get her to bed around 7pm before the busiest time of my day starts! Between 7 and 11 is when I do most of my bookings as people have seen my deals in the daytime and they are now sat down with
HOBBIES: Football.
BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB: The flexibility and earnings; it has totally blown my expectations.
WORST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:
The stresses of just generally being really busy and not being able to keep up with the sheer number of inboxes!
