I was a Sales Manager for them in the NYC Market. This was a daunting task to say the least. They wanted to make this there #1 market. Problem was they need'ed a sales force. They Paid me a token salary with no bennies. My sales reps were all commission. The presentation was long and half the time the site went down.in order to be a sales rep you need'ed your own lab top and cell phone. I was training reps and then sending them out and trailing them - A rep it they lasted more than two weeks actually gave it a try. It was hard - not to mention walking the streets in NYC during the winter! Oh and they had to pay for there own transportation. It was a good idea but the execution was not so good. The bars we did sign up were not happy with the service and were constantly complaining. I was told to give them another promotion. On the bright side I got to interview and post ads for promo models and train them as well. Once I got to a owner had to be a decision maker to write the check for nearly $3,000 and do a promo if the internet worked i had a lengthy presentation to go thru. Need less to say it was a learning experience. Now people just use twitter which links all social plat formsfor the same promise they gave out. Every bar that signed up did not renew and im glad i didnt sell to anyones i go to!
