Incredible Opportunity with High Income Potential

Publisher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Phenomenal leadership, training, and top notch culture. What drew me to the opportunity was the ability to essentially be my own boss, earn high commissions, and residual income. The business is extremely simple and the company gives you all the tools for success!

Cons

If you are not a self motivated individual, you may find this challenging as it is an entrepreneurial role and not a good fit for everyone.

Their current employees post reviews again and again on glassdoor to manipulate the review score (aka fake reviews).

Pros

- You get to meet local business owners. - They hire literally just anybody because they don't have to pay you.

Cons

- No pay at all if you don't make a sale (which is EXTREMELY HARD). Its an independent contractor position. - They beg you to stick to the script and you'll be able to set appointments and make a sale. I tried it, failed, failed again and failed again and again. And in case you forgot, there is no pay if you don't make a sale. - If you really wanna give it a shot make sure you have enough savings to survive for at least 3 months without any income. If you're a really good salesperson who can basically sell anything, maybe just maybe you're able to make a couple of sales. Not because the product is good but because you're really good at selling stuff.

Pros

Pro is working from home. You also get to know a lot of the local businesses. I was new to town so this was a slight plus.

Cons

I worked all day every day for 6 weeks and didn't sell one thing. I come from 10 years in luxury car sales and consistently led in sales. I worked really hard, attended the zoom meeting and the was on the brainwashing daily phone calls and made not one cent! They have to call you everyday to keep you hooked otherwise any sane person would leave after a couple of weeks. What did it for me (besides no paycheck) was when they sent me a publication of of this magazine I was pushing for my town and it was really lame. It could easily get thrown in the trash, it was so flimsy and lacked content. I was slowly falling into a depression and when I finally quite I was SOOOO happy!!
