bigcol Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 my mum has one, yes they are the best hoover around but they are bloody heavy and i think you are supposed to service them once a year or something, still £500 is a very good price as they are worth the money, good luck with the sale NB dog the bounty hunter used to be a kirby salesman too;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashoverride Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 cheers lol never dog was a kirby salesman and he is supposed to be a christian lol. they are realy good and as i was an engineer for them the ones i have for sale are mint and fully serviced, realisticly a service every 18mths to 2 years is min required depending on how you use them.

Ian W Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I've heard a little about the sale people. Care to tell us more? In all honesty, I can't really tell you anything specific as that's just how the recruitment process was...very secretive! The job ad was rather vague with no mention of specific roles or products and the interviews were held by a local 'area manager' in a hotel lobbey! During the very informal interview, I recall emphasis being made on past sales experience and communication skills which you would expect. Even at this point there were hardly any details given as to what the products were, just the name of the brand and that you would work as part of a sales team before hopefully building up to train other new starts. A very big deal was made of the amount of cash you could make, although that's probably the case for most sales jobs of this ilk. I was offered the job on the spot basically and had to say I'd think about it and get back to him, by that point I pretty much knew it wasn't for me anyway.

adnanshah247 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 well i remember we had a sales person come over with a kirby and my mum is crazy about her cream carpet, she actually installed a tap outside my house so if we come in mucky we have to wash up first lol or we aint coming in! anyways lady came over and introduced us to the kirby, then she spilt cherry juice on my living room carpet, smacked on some black shoe polish, threw on some gunky black engine oil, some makeup and finally a spoon of sticky toffee. if you guys saw my mums face you would have called the cops after laughing your ass off. anyways back to the kirby, she sprayed some of its stuff on and then set the hoover up and went over the stains and honestly they disappeared before our eyes. it actually made a clean spot on the carpet!!! honestly this is a serious bit of kit and you cant compare it to dysons etc. it simply out classes them by miles. for the price its up for, definately a bargain of a century because my dad bought it for £1600!!! (he didnt have no choice unless he liked sleeping in the shed lol ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 omfg some people have more money than sence, what possiable benifit does 100k of tiles give u?????? ??? god knows but to be fair it was the guys dream home, he had just sold his business and built this house from the ground up with the best of everything in it was a stunner. anyway back to the kirby thread, with my surname being kirby i once went to an interview when i was 18 at a hotel and as soon as i walked in and sat down they just said with that surname the jobs yours but after they told me what it was doing i soon left LOL but i do know there the best vacuum in the world so good luck with the sale Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
