Trek Alliance
Aka Gulf Coast Marketing A desperate person who bought the Trek dream

I have spent the past several hours reading the horror stories of Trek Alliance and I have one of my own. I joined Trek in the beginning of March. Here in Houston the branch is Gulf Coast Marketing. The ad I answered was "travel for fun". When I spoke to the person on the phone and asked about it he told me they did quite a bit of traveling. (Yeah right-traveling to seminars that cost a whole lot of money and suck) I went in for the overview and bought it "hook, line, and sinker". I bought a BIB which is a little over $2000. I spent 2 weeks "helping out in the office" waiting for the training at the end of the month that would teach me all the skills I needed to sell and recruit. My training was put on by Marc Accetta and the Leading Edge. It was the worst $250 I have ever spent and there was no refund offered. Thank godness it was in Houston and I didn't have to shell out travel costs. He is a funny man and if you're going for a comedy show than it is worth it but as far as sales and recruiting techniques I didn't learn a damn thing.
I think there has been enough said about the ads and overviews. It is all true. They are very deceptive. Just look at the ad I answered.
Helping out in the office meant spending all day there trying to book people for the "interviews" and then playing receptionist
when the people did come in. I dedicated many hours for about 2 weeks for free. "All part of the training process"
Now the office isn't even there anymore. It looked like a tornado went through there. They are supposedly relocating to the Galleria. My sponsor is now in Oklahoma City suckering more people. I should have clued in that he was worthless and not making any money since he wore the same suit everyday!
I am very upset that I wasted my time and money! I hope the people who say Trek is about to be shut down are correct. They are so deceptive especially using so many different names.
I am going to try to send my products back to the company. What is the 70% rule?
Thank you for this site and people please beware!
