Pros

some very nice people there. can help build confidence. good experience. learn very basics of business. very fast process, interviews next day training next day field work, ball keeps rolling.

Cons

-Carrot on a stick, you will hear a lot of this "you will make between £300-£500 for the first 6 months while selling on the streets build up your own team, and then you will be promoted to a management position, at this point the field is optional and you will be making £1000+ a week" -training days dont train you at all, the 2 days training involves rags to riches stories and selling you the job and fallacies about how amazing the business model is. -you work for them, however in the paperwork t&c you are "self employed" so this way they can reap the rewards from your efforts and get away with not being responsible for anything. so all the expenses are YOUR expenses. If you get to the office and then they want you to work in the field 2 hours away they yous have to get there out of your own pocket, if some of your equipment runs out of internet you pick up the bill for that and necessary calls for sales. - 100% commission, but that's good right, you get £25ish per sale, just do A, B, C and BAM! £25 easy right. NO they hammer you with this promise of effort rewarding uncapped £, but its just smoke and mirror, its not impossible to make £400 but you need to be one lucky person. -What actually happens with pay is you spend 10 hours at work each day, trying to sell to the sub-prime market, sucker them over to a 2 minutes process which takes about 5 if your quick and they can answer and pass all the questions, and after that you get paid right? nope, that's what they lead you to believe. The customer might be flat out declined for some random reasonm(most likely out come), if they pass and they are under 26 you might get paid for that 50/50 chance, if over 26 and accepted then BAM £25. Why isn't this mentioned in the training ??? when asked about it, it was misleadingly simplified, and isn't as common as they make out. - just get 3-4 of them over 26 people signed up each day and your sorted, but it doesn't happen. Maybe its because im new to the job....nope my first few days i was making sales all of them were declined totally out of my control, how about the experienced leaders around me ? i was on par with their sales and between them they were all declined. Meaning between the 4 of us we had make £25 for 9 hours of work (only the person with the sale gets paid ofc). -even if you are in the right place at the right time and make 8 accepted sales over the week, thats £200 for a week of hard work 10 hours a day, - your expenses from that for travelling to office then field location will leave you with about £150 for busting your balls, while the company still profit from the data submitted from the pre-screen tests weather the customer was declined or not. -a crappy paid job bringing in minimum wage, working less hours guarantees you £227.50 a week, with added benifits of pension plans ext. -totally unrealistic profits and income. -exploitative and should be illegal. -work your butt to the bone, to be reward with peanut just scraping by, see your colleges reach desperation, and listen to lies, its a job in sales but, the big sellers are selling you the job and profiting from your free labour.

Hi, Thanks for your comments. We welcome all feedback both positive and negative. It’s great to hear that we helped you to build your confidence, and learn some business basics. We pride ourselves on helping the people we work with to expand their skill set, and set them up for future success whether that be in our business or another. £300-500 is an average based on what the average contractor earns, earnings are uncapped and therefore people do make over and above that amount. We find this structure works best as it means that those who put in the most time and effort get the best results and reap the rewards. We are disappointed to hear that you think the training days didn’t’ train you to a high enough standard. Our clients outline the product training process to make sure all of the information they want to be marketed is included. The process you are describing is for an old campaign, one which we no longer run. We currently represent the UK’s leading telecoms and broadband provider. This is primarily a sales/promotions role, as is stated on our advertisements and website so we are surprised that you were unaware of this. We offer excellent business development opportunities, and we have a proven track record of contractors going on to run successful businesses. We regret that you feel you were mislead in any way, we are very honest and transparent about the work opportunity, this is the reason we operate a 3 stage interview process, allowing people to experience first hand what the work would involve. We believe this allows individuals to make an informed decision about whether the work opportunity is right for them. Best of luck in the future.

Pros

Good for people who want to do door to door sales

Cons

it is 100% based commision until you get to a possition of a leader. They don't tell you that you are going to be walking till 10 at night. Make it sound what it is not.

Hi, We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. At Complete One we exclusively run pop-up events and in-Store promotions, we do not use door to door marketing. Our events takes place at pre-booked venues and generally tend to finish up at 6p.m. Our earnings and development structure is in place to ensure that those who put in the most effort reap the rewards. Kind Regards.
