Either this is a fake post from a competitor or this was unfortunately posted by our one and only employee who is no longer employed by us due to disciplinary problems and is posting this in retaliation - which is typical for his poor behavior during his short term tenure at our award-winning company. We take great pride in our amazing team and you can see how positive our other employee reviews are.

Pros

Laid back, management is hands off and trusts you to sell booth space at cities all over the country - now 18. Company has millions of lead sources including from former reps (and there are lots of them), Google and in house searching. Management does small giveaways and contests, brings in a masseuse, and provides free soda and chips. This is to make you feel good about the $100 a day they're paying you to sit there for 8 hours (do the math).

Cons

Exactly. Management insinuates that you could make 6 figures (a typical ploy to anyone's greedy nature). But closing deals is a rarity. There are four senior reps who "own every big company" and you'll be splitting those commissions. For instance all the wireless carriers, banks, whatever. They're already someone's account. So you're expected to hunt for new leads. Good luck. That's the other problem. They'll tell you that 3000 people are expected to show up in Phoenix (only 350 did). In other words, the small insurance, law, accounting offices that are exhibiting - ain't coming back. Another thing you can "sell" is a workshop. Their Atlanta Show (when I left) didn't have a single workshop sold so they're giving them away. I wasted a little over a month on this company when I finally got fed up for personnel reasons I won't go into.

This Employee was specifically hired for a Telemarketing Role. So yes, this was a Telemarketing Job. We offer many types of jobs including Sales, Telemarketing, Marketing, Production, Client Services, etc. If you are looking specifically for a Sales Executive Role, be sure to apply for that specific role and not our Telemarketing Position.
