Through every step of the process to becoming a "district sales associate" I spoke with and confirmed maximum distance to "pre-set appointments". This process went through 4 different people and their levels of personell management including the trainer and the team coordinator. I specifically asked each of these 4 employees what the maximum distance from my city, a major city in California, could be.
I was told 30 miles on 4 seperate confirmations of my pertinent question. I went on to each process with each person (confirming the same max distance criteria) completing the sales training program and issued a presentation kit.
I called after completion the following morning to get my 1st set appointment which was 50 miles away. Apparently all 4 personell I dealt with have absolutely no regard for the truth and are trained to overcome objections without any integrity or regard for any situation other than the company's myopic view of their customer's stupidity and their workforce's desperation. Furthermore, I have never read such a completely one-sided "independent contractor's agreement" stipulating how they have no ethics regarding a salesperson's interests including complete non-payment should a salesman leave the company for any reason whatsoever.
I cannot go past the 1st appointment after their 1st blatant and flagrant lie. You have got to know when to fold 'em or "cut and run" and minimize exposure to an obviously toxic environment founded on deceit. Now, I believe most of the rhetoric surrounding this company's business practices and how the brothers of the owner (probably still very "connected") were fined $ 24 million dollars by the FTC. The coordinator said they have "combined" experience of 50 years, although the company is just 2 years old (since the Federal Trade Commission's imposed fine).
