As an ISA for Crescent Processing for approximately 1 month, I wanted to give my input as to what I am experiencing.
1st let me state that sites such as this nearly kept me from taking a position with the company because I would not want to place a consumer in a bad position. Many of the claims seemed sort of suspect or it was possible that Crescent was the worse company in the history of the world.
The 1st issue I want to address is the 300 dollar charge for the laptop, I have sold eight deals in my first month and have had 25 dollars deducted from each commission check. With my computer I received instructions on how to return equipment if I parted ways with the company and a shipping label to return it with. If I leave the company it does not appear it will cost me to return the laptop. Is the laptop the best, Nope but it works and makes paperwork so much easier.
Supposed 50 mile driving each day... LOL didn't believe it and it isn't true. I live in a relatively large city and even when in the city I couldn't drive 50 miles in only one day. I usually drive 100 to 200 miles a day. Far less than some other places. If you want to drive just 50 miles a day I may suggest not working here.
Twice confirmed appointments... Some are better than others, many are no shows, many claim they were told something different. I have listened to recordings and I believe merchants hear something different than what is actually said. I take this opportunity to cold call in those areas. I have sold 4 appointments and 4 self generated sales.
Corporate support fee. I will gladly give 40 dollars a month for support to make 2500- 3000. I was charged my support fee on my first deal but will be refunded it next month since I have enough deals. This actually means I am being charged nothing for leads and support if I perform. The money was never charged to me it was deducted from my pay and will be reapplied supposedly the next month. I guess I will find out next month. I have no doubts it will show up along with a performance bonus.
Pay same day... This almost caused me to quit... I came to work very skeptical due to sites similar to this but wanted to see for myself. My first 2 deals activated on a Thursday and I was looking for the money that Friday. It did not post and I was panicked. It did post on Saturday and all the other deals since have posted the next day. I usually try and activate the account myself as a way to get referrals and make sure it is activated early enough to get paid the next day.
So from my experience Crescent has done for me what they said they would do. I have made roughly 2600 dollars my first month and can see where that can continue to climb as I get more familiar with the product and my schedule. I worked out a plan with my CM to let me work certain cities certain days to help me schedule appointments on my own. I am very pleased thus far and as long as these confirmation calls are not totally bogus and the details discussed between CM, me and merchant remain as we discussed, I see me working here for a while. I would expect them to be, otherwise I think there would have already been some sort of legal repercussions if it were as some on here indicated.
I will follow up in a couple of months.
