I may not have enjoyed working for the local Oreck stores, but I hate to see anyone's business in trouble. It's sad to see the end of Oreck Clean Home Stores. I hope that the owners of the Oreck franchises can keep in business by adding other lines of machines. Two years ago the local stores had added the Amish Fireplaces to their line-up. I'd have bought one if they were not so expensive. To those on this forum who work in Oreck stores, I wish you the best.

Sorry to say but the day of the door to door salesman is very limited. People are way to concerned about safety to allow a "stranger" into their home. While a home demo is the ideal way to determine if the unit is a good fit for the customer it is just not a reality.
With busy work schedules and life in general the consumer is not going to sit through a 1 hour plus demo on a vacuum if they would even consider having a stranger come over and demo for them.
What I think is more realistic is to allow specialty vacuum store offer the better brands...like Kirby, Filter Queen, etc. If they follow the training criteria that the manufacturer sets, sales will increase - no way it could not.
Lastly, the bad publicity in days of late regarding door to door salesman and the numerous rip off reports regarding "shady" dealers has made the consumer very jaded when it comes to buying a product in their home....
Simply my opinion....
