$500 Dollars a week Lie
$2250 a month LIE
You get paid for training LIES
This company is owned by Warren Buffet LIES
These lies and many more were told to me and 15 other individuals during the training at Dyro Productions. I was hired on the spot by some sly lying deceitful lawyer, claming that I was going to be working in customer relations for at nothing lower than $2250 a month. This company hires young people and just flat out lies to them. I was told that I would 'average' $500 dollars a week. I was also told that it is possible to make money similar to a doctor or engineer, buy selling Kirbys door to door. Kirby's are good vacuums, but not worth $2000. I was skeptical about this statement. However, for a 'guaranteed' $2250 a month what's the worst that can happen? How about not getting PAID!!! This job is a SCAM / PYRAMID SCHEME. The lying bastard told me that I would 'average' $250 from every Kirby I sold and that I would have at least 3 scheduled appointments with clients a day who would like to view a demo.
This con artist refused to answer any of my questions during training such as:
Since I am signing a W-9 do I get income tax?
I understand that the 'average' is 250 per sale, so what is the LOWEST amount that I will make?
So what time do I get back?
He claims that my questions are negative. WHAT!?!? Inquiring about the time I return from work is negative?
Another problem with this company is never during training does he mention the work hours. Which by the way are 12 HOURS!!!
During training I was told that I would be paid. After training I was informed that I would not be paid until the completion of two tasks. Remembering 20 stupid questions, and making 15 appointments. Making 15 appointments is not as easy as this lying lawyer will have you believe.'45sec is all it takes' B.S. More like it's not going to happen. Think about it. These people live in MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES. When knocking on doors you hear one of five responses. I have a maid, I have wooden floors, I already have a Kirby and the interest is ridiculous, my neighbor has a Kirby and feels like a sucker for buying one, or (my personal favorite) I am not interested. The area that my 'Team Leader' dropped me off has a NO SOLICITING policy. So while I am knocking on doors at 5 and 6 o'clock trying to complete my training I get a sixth response... I am calling to cops. So I immediately leave and call my 'Team Leader' and he tells me to roll with the punches and sell sell sell.
My first and LAST day on the field, I learned just how deceitful Kirby was.
The way sales people or DDK get into houses is to BLANTLY LIE to consumers by offering a 'Free carpet cleaning'. Once inside the house, they just start pulling out attachments and explaining about the Kirby. Customers are often times stunned that you are with Kirby, they thought I was a carpet cleaning service.
While riding back with 6 people crammed into a truck I did basic arithmetic on my cell phone and discovered it is nearly IMMPOSSIBLE TO GET PAID!!!
Watch:
In order to get the $2250 I have to perform 60 full demos in a 30 days. I get to work at 11am sit in some brainwashing KIRBY propaganda for an hour. Leave at 12pm arrive at the destination at 12:30pm. The 'Team Leader' finds a sell at about 1pm.in order for my demo to count towards my pay I must stay at that house for 2 hours. Yes 2 Hours. However, I will not have an immediate booking as claimed during training.instead you knock on doors for hours. If lucky you get 3 full demos a day, most days it's 2, sometimes you only get 1. If you work 6 days a week that leaves 24 days to acquire 60 demos. They are closed on Sunday so it impossible to work 7 days. 60/24=2.5 So it seems plausible that this quota is possible if working 6 days a week? NO NO NO NO. If you manage to get 3 full demos 10 days, 2 full demos 14 days the resulting number is 58. So I get no pay. I work extremely hard, walking in extreme HOUSTON HEAT, talking to people who are expecting just a free carpet clean, being insulted, cops called, chased by dogs, walking in the rain... And for what NOTHING.
The average $250 mentioned per Kirby, is effected by the actual price it is sold to the costumer. I get $250 if it is sold at sticker price, which is about $2325. My Team Leader wont hesitate to drop the price to about $1480 to make a sell. So now my cut is about $160, however most people still turn this down because they were actually only interested in the free carpet cleaning. So now my cut is $0. If a customer does purchase a KIRBY and pays full price, but has “bad credit†my resulting commission is $10.
This is a scam. Do not work for kirby. Do not buy a kirby. Kirby is a scam to both the buyer and the seller.
