VDI: become self-employed without taking risks!

Is auto-entrepreneur status too precarious?

As an employee, you receive a salary every month, you automatically contribute to pension and health insurance schemes and you are guaranteed paid holiday.

It's not the same with an entrepreneurial activity, and that can put a stop to the desire to be self-employed! You may find it hard to find clients, feel lonely and devote all your weekends to trying to become profitable, neglecting your personal life.

But what if we told you that there was a way for you to be independent and secure, while still having time to spend with your family? There's no miracle solution, but there is a very advantageous status: that of VDI.

VDI: the perfect compromise between stable employment and self-employment

The acronym VDI stands for "independent door-to-door salesperson". They work from home, organising their schedule as they see fit. She gains job stability by working on behalf of a brand. The home-based sales assistant has a fixed contract with the brand of her choice, and benefits from social protection through the company for which she works.

Awide range of activities can be sold from home: cosmetics, kitchen equipment, baby items, clothes, etc. At Elora, we suggest you showcase our ready-to-wear collections!

Which VDI contract should I choose?

As a VDI, you can choose between two types of contract: VDI buyer-reseller and VDI agent. If you want the most secure contract, we advise you to opt for the VDI agent contract, which requires no financial investment on your part. This is the type of contract we offer our home-based sellers.

Specific features of a VDI agent contract

• You don't have any stock problems, you order directly from the company without storing collections at home
• You don't have to think about prices beforehand, as you apply the prices set by the company
• You are paid commission on the sales you generate: the more you sell, the more you get paid

VDI: a status accessible to all

Finally, the significant advantage of the VDI contract is that it is accessible to everyone. Yes, you don't need to have any qualifications to become a VDI, it's a status that's accessible provided you're over 18 and motivated!

At Elora, we also offer a real training programme in sales techniques to really help our home-based sellers boost their turnover. As a ready-to-wear salesperson at Elora, you're also supported by a team of professionals and other home-based sellers, so you're never alone.
