Sales Model
New Kirby home care systems are only sold through independent, authorized Kirby distributors through in-home (door-to-door) demonstrations.
From time to time, Kirby Sentria 2 systems are inaccurately advertised for sale as NEW on the internet and in authorized retail stores. Systems sold through other sources are not covered by The Kirby Company's warranty and rebuild plans.
The Kirby Company manufacturers the unit and sells it to a group of authorized distributors. Each distributor is an independent business, and as such sets their own price for the unit and conducts their own business operations.
Independent distributors recruit dealers who are also independent contractors. The dealers sell the unit door-to-door. Dealers are typically compensated through commission only.

Famous quotes containing the words sales and/or model:
“The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it ... it’s just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
