Kiss Media Group
Does not pay independent sales reps they hire

In I had been unemployed and answered an ad for advertising sales local to Victoria. I applied and ended up meeting the President and founder, Patricia Jones. After discussing the program and her products, I was shown the storage facility where I was to also pick up her old advertising booklets and deliver them to the locations I would be looking to sign back up. I did this diligently and actually paid out $242 for printing services for her collateral, contracts and brochures that she wanted me to distribute. Patricia is located in Squamish and therefore asked that I pick up the tab and when she paid me at the end of the month, she would also pay this out. I trusted her to keep her word.

Fast track 2 months later and I still had not received a dime. I had closed a few of the sales without her and she had helped negotiate a few with offers of in kind. One was a sushi place that advertised in the magazine and would provide each of us with $250 in free meals when we ate there. I never took advantage of this as my concern was about the money.

Halfway through the 3rd month, I decided that I needed to get paid. This was never paid and when I questioned Patricia, she indicated that she could not do a separate cheque run but would at the end of the month. Day in and day out for 3 months, I trudged around Victoria trying to obtain business for he magazine. At the end of the 3 months I could not afford to do this anymore since she had still not paid me a dime. At this time, I had to get some funds to support my family and had to resign. Because I resigned, patricia refused to pay me indicating that I had broken the contract and therefore cost her almost all of her advertising money and I was lucky I was not going to be sued by her. I told her that was ridiculous and expected not only to be paid for my sales to date, but also be reimbursed for my cash outlay of her advertising materials. I never charged her for the gas I used to get around town and to the storage facility to gather her outdated magazines.

To this day, Patricia has not paid me a dime nor has she ever reimbursed me for my expenses. I believe this woman lies and is underhanded in her business dealings and lacks integrity. Be aware of Kiss Media Group and get paid upfront!
