Hi there,
I've seen so many forums about these companies that this is getting a bit tiring now. This company operates within the same office than EA Worldwide Acquisitions, Galaxy Marketing, Source Marketing Direct and London Marketing Services.
I have experience as a marketing manager but with the recession was made redundant. When i saw the ad in reed, I thought that it was actually a fast track to management since the company maybe due to the current situation was struggling and was in need of some experienced candidates.. how naive...
The ad on the website and also when i talked on the phone to Miss Courtney Sagar, they said salary negotiable. For me that means there is a salary at least. To my surprise when i was being interviewed by Mr Tom Harris, he tried to avoid the question a few times to then say it was 100% commission. When i told him they were lying on the ad he just told me I was very smart but he had a lot of people waiting to be interviewed for the same position and that he would call me back if i made it through the second interview.. Obviously he didnt call.
What kind of interview is that??? He didnt really check my cv, just asked me if i had experience in sales, what my goal was for the future and what i was looking for. Then with his fake teenager smile (Im not sure how old he is but i doubt he's older than 23-24 due to his lack of skills and professionalism), he told me the company started in USA (that's EA Worldwide Acquisitions) and they're looking for people to be trained from the entry level sales to a management position, including leadership, PR, Administration and something else i dont remember because i couldnt even keep that paper where he was explaining things.
What they call administration is a girl calling people on the phone and downloading cvs. Leadership is teaching your sales pitch to new recruiters to help get promoted to management (pyramid) and PR are the door to door sales based on 100% commission. This is a scam. I saw the guys leaving the office and they all look exhausted. This should be illegal.
They call you 10 times and send you 10 emails to prevent you from thinking much about them and keep you excited about it. The emails might come from Courtney Sagar or Erica Wright, a very big lady that with all my respect, should be wearing some more clothes (or proper ones) to be working in an office not in a club.
Hope everyone that gets a call from any of these companies just decides not to attend the first interview since it is a waste of time..
Live Marketing Direct is a scam, door to door on 100% commission, nothin related to marketing.
