Doesn't RecommendI worked at Appco Group
Pros
Learning marketing skills, improve presentation skills, improve communication skills, learning team work.
Cons
Commission based salary, pushy/intrusive mentors, no medical benefits, no EPF & the sort.
Thanks for your feedback - however, I think you’ve got us confused with another independent sales company as Appco doesn't have commission based jobs and all jobs are salary and office based.

Thank you for your review. We are glad to know that the role helped you develop such a broad range of skills and you enjoyed the many benefits of being part of the Appco network. Business Associates in the Appco India network are contracted on a self-employed basis and are paid based on their performance. This gives them flexible working opportunities, allowing them to determine their level of commitment as well as take control of their income. As Business Associates are self-employed, there is an association contract involved. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further so that we can look at how and where we can improve. If you would like to get in touch with us, please contact us at communication@appcoindia.com.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to know that your experience was not a positive one. Appco India is proud of the opportunities we offer to the ambitious people to improve their sales skills, mentor and coach others, and progress to building their own companies, if they choose. Many people choose to work hard to make the most of these opportunities; however the standard working day for someone in a training role is 8am-6pm, and shorter for those who are new to the business. This model has benefited hundreds of former business associates who now run their own independent businesses. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further so that we can look at how and where we can improve. If you would like to get in touch with us, please contact us at communication@appcoindia.com. We also wish you every success with your future career.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re pleased to know that the role helped you develop such a broad range of skills while being associated with Appco Group India, however sorry to know that you experienced dishonest behavior which is ever condoned by Appco Group India. We expect all of the independent marketing companies that are contracted with us to operate in a open and honest way at all times. Appco India does not recruit any business/sales associates. This process is managed by the independent marketing companies in our network, who contract individuals on a self-employed basis to conduct field sales work. Business associates are paid based on performance which allows them to determine their level of commitment, rate of progression and take control of their income. Many people choose to work hard to make the most of these opportunities; however the standard working day for someone in a training role is 8am-6pm, and shorter for those who are new to the business. We understand this model is not for everyone. Please contact us at communication@appcoindia.com if you would like to discuss the issue further with us. We wish you every success.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Appco Group for more than a year
Pros
- Young, fun and relaxed environment - Trains communication skills and builds confidence - Learn to train other people - Travel to different areas - Suitable for a summer job, no more than a few months needed to develop correct skills.
Cons
- Everyone shares brainwashed attitude to retain FRs - No basic wage (100% commission) - Very expensive travel cost to different areas (No support from business) - Expected to work from 10am-10pm Mon-Fri and 10am-8pm Sat as a minimum (70hrs) - Very high turnover, any team you build will erode slowly or quickly - Progression depends solely on business owners discretion - Like a cult, it takes away social life and narrows your thinking, they sell you unrealistic dreams - Each Sale is worth £20-£25 if it actually goes through. Average 2 a day - I made more money and had more time when I quit and claimed JSA.

Thank you for your review – we’re glad you found the coaching useful and hope it helps you in your future career. To clarify, it sounds like you were a self-employed contractor, contracted to a marketing company and not to Appco UK. Appco UK is the first to admit that self-employment and commission are not for everyone, but it does and has suited thousands of people, whether they decide to make a career out of it or, as you say, choose it as a temporary option. As a contractor, you are required to pay your own travel costs, and all sales are processed as long as they fulfill all quality assurance criteria, which ensures we deliver the highest quality results for our clients. However, we are concerned to hear that you feel you were forced to work certain hours. That should never be the case – as a contractor, you choose the days and hours you work. We would like to discuss this further with you so we can investigate properly and would appreciate you contacting us at customerservice@appcogroup.co.uk

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review - it's great to hear that the role helped you develop. Promotions in any marketing company associated with us is purely performance based and have defined criteria to be met. Further to this, as the policy a Business Associate can only work with one marketing. Hence, if you wish we can surely try associating you with the same marketing company that you were associated with earlier. Please share your contact details or connect with us on communication@appcogroupindia.in or BASupport@appcoindia.com so that we can help you resolve any related issues and re-associate with the same marketing company. We wish you every success with your future career.
