IQPC reviews

Well to start- they completely MISLEAD you about the potential income and commission you can make here. They sell you DREAMS about uncapped commission and in the end the whole team barely hits 20k steady. If you are a true SHARK BEAST sales person with solid experience - STAY AWAY. It is an unstable financial rollercoaster from HELL! Lets talk numbers- it may take MONTHS to reach 20K in sales with a super low base pay- this is NYC??? who will survive on that? NO ONE!!! Calls are also tracked daily which is fine but then everyone focuses on Quantity NOT Quality which is a HUGE problem and helps NO ONE make money! High revenue events are NOT distributed FAIRLY which results in ridiculous numbers on the board with some having 20K in a week and others with 0-3k- I DONT THINK SO! Also I clearly asked is this a COLD CALLING job? They said NO-guess what? They LIED yet AGAIN! You cold call ALL day PRAYING someone picks up and turns into a somewhat responsive lead. The events sometimes are good sometimes are dead and they still ask YOU why you have no numbers on the board? Are you kidding?

This relates more to the industry than to IQPC itself, but the company basic relies on pulling ideas out of thin air to turn them into commercial conferences. A topic that is hot today may not be as hot tomorrow, events that are very successful one year may be a complete failure the next because of external market factors. Even though this is what makes the job interesting, learning about one new industry or market every month in order to be able to sell a new product to an entirely new audience is sometimes a bit tiring. Also, the work involves a lot of long hours in front of a computer screen, which is something I'm not personally a fan of.
