Yesterday, I answered my home door by mistake, as I never dothis. Much to my surprise a beautiful young girl named "Janell" frommydynasty.com greeted me with extreme enthusiasm. After speaking with Janell"who I invited in" for almost 2 hours I purchased $55 worth of thebooks for my young child. Since I am a seasoned sales professional I could notbelieve what I had done... Fall for the pretty girl with blond hair, from theUniversity of Florida (go Gators), and trying to earn herself a trip to London, UK. After Janell had left I soon realized that I had been taken, since thereceipt she gave me only had my son's name (Misspelled), the first few digitsof my home address, and her signature (which probably wasn't even her realname?) Naturally once I had realized it, I searched her company online (Google) and found many, many, many complaints about this same type traveling herofighting for freedom and the opportunity to travel abroad in bad economictimes. But how did we have so much in common? Was I trained to sell like thiswhen I first started out? Do most young sales professionals not believe/nottrained with integrity and holding themselves accountable for theirwords? Nevertheless and no matter what you may or may not have in commonwith door-to-door salespeople, my best advice would be to ignore the door whenit rings unless you want to give someone money for nothing but a little chat, "which I am sure most of us get enough of" and a little take me backto when you were young. If you do answer the door make sure to call your bankand cancel payment after you figure out that you have been taken. Bottom-line, sales managers, self-employed, and small businesses need hold themselves moreaccountable and stop this type of scam that is teaching young professionals (sales) how to steal. Mydynasty should be ashamed of themselves and the waythey are treating those of us who have worked hard to fix the problems that peopleand companies such as this are creating.
