This Company goes under so many different names, i just started researching it because I had a funny suspicion after my first interview, which happened to go just like everybody said it would.
In the meeting of course Katherine Zeinz said she started her own business with a guy called Douglas Ascher his current address is: 20 LAMBOURNE RD APT T4 TOWSON, MD. 21204-2805 Pleas address any mail you may want to him there. (619) 992-1320 might be his phone number, at least it was when he was in Illinois.
Katherine Zeinz on the other hand is the one I have the biggest problem with. She lies and makes things up to make her company sound "BIGGER THAN LIFE" said SHE had opened the ones up in California and SHE opened the one up in Chicago. She also said that SHE is going to be opening up all of the ones in the mid-west. She also never mentioned the fact that we would be going around from business to business soliciting, why do they call it marketing if we would only be soliciting?
The BBB has Mano Marketing in Indianapolis listed as having 3 yes I am not Lying, THREE employees, I saw two of them, Katherine, the hot receptionist, and whoever Elizabeth Swanson is. I bet the IRS would love to hear about this one! This is all of the information I have found out about Katherine Zeinz, this is all in an attempt to put her life in complete misery for lying to people and ruining there lifes on false hopes and pretenses.
Although I know Katherine said she lives here in Indianapolis, her parents live 2400 PATRICIA LN HOMEWOOD, IL. 60430-1612 Any mail you would like to send her you can send it there, I am sure it will get there. Their phone number is (708) 798-4541 it is listed to a Pat Zeinz. Katherine DOB is 3/15/1980
The rest is the low down on all of the other stuff:

General Comments
* Contact your State Attorney General's office to verify that the business is registered.
* Contact trade groups related to the specific industry.
* Have your attorney review any contracts before signing them.
* Obtain a copy of the company's disclosure/revelation document before agreeing to anything. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires this information; the document should state the concessions and opportunities in detail. If the company says they are exempt from this rule, contact the FTC to verify.
When discussing the opportunity with the seller, ask аbout:
* Value and appeal of the product or service.
* Financial health and history of the company and its officer, including litigation history.
* Costs and refund policies. REMEMBER TO REQUEST EVERYTHING IN WRITING.
* Names, directions, and telephone numbers of other people who have bought the concession or the opportunity.
* Types of training and field support available.
* Sites and selection of territories, if applicable.
* Substantiation of earning potential, with projections of income backed up by specific experiences of other buyers.
Be leery of any offer that:
* Makes outrageous and unsubstantiated earnings claims that sound too good to be true.
* Is made in a newspaper advertisement, directing you to call an 800 number, resulting in high-pressure telemarketing sales pitches.
* Requests payment by overnight express mail.
* Promises easy sale of the products or services.
* Promises exclusive territories and good locations for machines and display racks or the assistance of professional locators.
* Fails to provide disclosure documents containing financial statements, company history, and substantiation of earnings claims.
* Fails to provide fee and refund policies. Do not take refund policies at face value. Some fraudulent offers advertise phony refund policies touting 100% money back guarantees, then close shop with no intentions of honoring them.
