Match the training to your experience
List the tasks you can already complete confidently and the ones you need to learn. Ask how the proposed training covers those gaps, including payments and after-sales work. This turns a general training promise into a programme you can assess against your own starting point.
Understand the working arrangement
Request the current agreement and ask about charges, earnings, payment timing and ownership of customer records. Include what happens if you leave. These questions help you plan a homeworking business around written terms rather than assumptions about how a network operates.
