Sales Agents Dream Turns into Nightmare: 2-4 pre-qualified appointments each day If it sounds too good...
This is an exact quote from my first email from Edith Threats at TransTech: No Cold Calling required!!! We will set you 2-4 pre-qualified appointments each day, Monday Friday between 9-5, within your local area.
This is what caught my eye. The most difficult task in sales is setting appointments, so when they said that they were going to set the qualified appointments, I was very interested. I called the recruiter and she assured me that they set solid appointments. I kept asking this question throughout the training and got the same response, We have a huge call center setting firm appointments all day long.
Fast forward one week to my first qualified appointment and I quickly discovered that I had been scammed by TransTech. I entered the business of a very sharp and very well organized business owner in his fifties. I walked in the door and he had never even heard of TransTech let alone any appointment. I call my manager, Tommy Dorsey (The TransTech people have strange names like Tommy Dorsey, Hal Holbrook, Edith Threats, etc. I'm assuming that they use fake names, but Im not sure) and he tried to pull a used car type scam on this business owner. The business owner wasn't having any part of it.
So I'm thinking, Maybe this was a mistake or they are testing my resolve. WRONG! Appointment, after appointment, after appointment. These business owners not only didn't have appointments, I don't think they were ever even called.
TransTech tells sales recruits this to get them interested and through training in the hope that some sales people will stay on. I couldn't believe it! Truly, I was shocked. It seems like this should be illegal.
TransTech has some serious integrity issues and I don't want any part of them. Who knows how they must screw their customers if they screw their employees this way?
I'd like to sue them in small claims court for what they put me through, but it's not worth my time.
Please though, post your experience if you have been screwed by them too. Had I read a post like this I never would have wasted my time and gas money.
I'm just shocked at the way a large company like this lies and stays in business. We really shouldn't accept practices like this in our society.
Thanks for reading.
