Pros

It’s a job and that’s about it

Cons

Where do I start… the interview process was really sketchy and communication between recruiters and managers was not there. Spent a whole week in training full of meetings that had ZERO useable content. If you’ve ever watched the dry eyes commercial you know what I’m saying… Extremely low pay, NO MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT and you are expected to drive your own car for a FULL 8 hr shift daily. The advertise you getting salary but it’s really hourly. You will make the same as a Target employee. My particular campaign was for Constellation and the commission is not competitive at all. They give you a beat up and old Samsung Tab E with software that looks like it’s from the early 2000s. The tablet cost $100 brand new and they make you sign a for saying it’s worth $850 lol just so they can try and steal your last paycheck. YOU WILL BE TRACKED ALL DAY The make you create your own email to use for business and your not aloud to have a business card with your own name on it or you’ll get fired. I’m not just another grumpy person on here this is about as honest as it get. Please from the bottom of my heart go somewhere else…Anywhere else….

Pros

i guess you can say the other employees that were low on the totem pole. met some really great coworkers. also, the garden outside of the office was nice. the fountain was nice as well that was located outside of the office but in the building. That way if you needed to rinse the Dog crap that was sales focus inc off, you could just jump in the fountain Then.

Cons

anyone coming across this s-show of a business needs to go find something else. I guarantee you will find something 10000x better. Software, every software they use is free and it's terrible because nothing works. they don't care About their clients and they don't care about their employees. they're supposed to be a sales outsourcing company but like some of the reviews have stated, the time i was there, i witnessed 0 sales. new employees were brought in just to fail. promises of huge earning potentials and benefits that they will never see the light of. even time off. we were scolded for taking personal time because that meant if the we weren't clocked in at sfi the company couldn't steal money from their clients. they provide no service because it's a fake. it's all a scam. as i mentioned, as long as you're clocked in, they don't care because they're able to charge their clients. Don't even tell people that you had to work 90 days in order to receive anything but that didn't matter because you'd either have quit before then or you'd be fired for doing your job. I witnessed sales representatives that were brought in on day one and just sat there until day 30 or Longer. they were given no training and given no instructions. Do you know why? Because as long as the sales people were there and they were on the clock. Owner can charge the clients all those hours of just sitting there. they wouldn't need to have sales training. they delayed the training in order to get a jump start on charging their clients. i've seen multiple sales people doing literally nothing for days and wondered why. they could have been napping in the middle of the floor and the owner wouldn't have said a word because he was making money. i soon understood as i had just mentioned. they make it impossible for the sales reps to make any commissions so the owner keeps it all even if the sales reps hit their kpis (which are, by the way, impossible to hit). they provide no sales training and they do not help the sales reps succeed at all. 100% turnover on employees in less than 5 months. i advise potential clients and job seekers to stay away. do your research. All these reviews here are not from disgruntled employees. they are from employees who were unfairly treated and they were from past employees like me that felt what they were doing to new employees and clients were wrong. in the end, this is my experience. if you want to take the plunge and skip by these reviews, then that's your choice. you won't like the outcome. good luck.

Pros

Paychecks out on time is only thing

Cons

Sales Focus entire business model is predicated on taking advantage of small business owners hopes and dreams of growth while relying on the greater fool to fill the place of the most recently cancelled customer - which candidly is multiple a month and overall in the neighborhood of a 90% total churn rate across the board following the minimum contractual period. To those looking to work there, know that if you are signing up for a sales position representing a customer that you will be given zero support, you will be the first blamed, and you will the first fired. It is a revolving door of deceit that should candidly be investigated by the BBB and or police. Also note the disappearing negative reviews coupled with the only positive ones having been posted by those listed as current employees - and posted within a similar time period. Probably at SFI’s internal request in an effort to boost their image whenever they bring on a new marketing person or have trouble recruiting warm bodies to put into seats at their “sales center”. Shady doesnt begin to cover it.
