We signed up with Ed a year or so ago. We got his contact info through a website that specialized in finding independent sales reps. Ed is a very like able guy when you speak to him, and will talk until the cows come home.
That being said, I am convinced that the only sales he generates are selling his several thousand dollar fee to new and naive businesses.
He promises that he goes to all these trade shows and meets with all these people. We became suspicious when none of his "leads" ever panned out and so we asked for some pictures of him at the trade shows. Needless to say, he never got them to us.
When we first started "working" with Ed and Pacific West Marketing, he asked us for a sample product for the trade shows. We obliged him and sent him a product. A week or so later, we found a listing for the product on Craigslist. We cant definitively tie it to him, but it was listed in the same area, and we had not shipped any products at this point.
I must say I got a chuckle when reading one of the other reports on this site that discussed his "Excellent" printing guy. Ed was more concerned about discussing printing with us than discussing sales prospects for our products.
At one point we contacted a lawyer about suing to get our money back, but the lawyer explained that we were better off just writing it off since court costs and legal fees would eat up more than we would likely recover.
All in all, it was a horrible experience with Ed and Pacific West Marketing. We lost our money. At least we learned to watch out for scam artists in the future.
I hope to God that anybody who thinks of doing business with Pacific West Marketing reads this and realizes that you will get more out of just lighting your money on fire. At least then you will get some heat from it.
