I know who wrote this review, and I am sorry to hear that you had these issues during your experience here. I want to be the first to say that we enjoyed having you as part of our team and having you grow with us. Now let's clarify a few things: 1. As for the title of this review, there are only 2 employees (out of 16) here who had prior sales experience. Everyone starts as an entry-level employee, and goes through our training program, as it states on our website. No one here is a 'natural' salesperson. They were able to take the training in stride, learn, and seek to improve to gain their results. 2. I apologize that you feel as if the paperwork was not explained properly. I narrate everything out loud as we go over it together. However, it is the employee's responsibility to ask for a copy of everything that you signed in order to read it later or to ask for more time to read what you're signing before you sign it. If that wasn't communicated to us, I am so sorry. 3. I do not expect, and would never expect, anyone to make their entire life about the company. In fact, I run the company, and in order to create a healthy balance, I must step away from the tasks at hand to re-energize and revitalize myself. If you felt that way, I wish there would have been open communication, so I could have helped. That being said, I do not believe that anyone can give a halfhearted effort and expect to gain an abundance of results. 4. Business trips are purely optional. They are a great way to accelerate the learning process. If there were any issues regarding rooming situations, those were not brought to my attention, but I am always open to communication and making everyone feel as comfortable as possible. 5. I pay training as a way to compensate you while you are learning the sales process. It clearly says in the paperwork that was signed by you that if you do not complete training, you're not entitled to the training pay, only for any sales made during training. That being said, early/premature abandonment during the training process does not warrant any payable wages. This is not a place to collect a "training incentive" and take advantage of the company. 6. The hours are 7:30AM-5:30PM. With lunch included and breaks included, these are typically 8.5-hour workdays. 45 hours total for the week with uncapped earning potential. 7. I am sorry that our model did not fit your needs. I explicitly mention on the website that one of my goals is to train and develop aspiring entrepreneurs. It seems that the values and missions did not align here. 8. I recall that you were provided with multiple territories (3) as a way to help you make progress. There only seems to be one common denominator here. 9. The word 'cult' has a negative connotation behind it. Yes, we are a team. Yes, we strive towards a common goal. Yes, we are developing people into strong business leaders. There is no malice behind our intent. We are merely providing people with entry-level experience and an opportunity to be rewarded by great work ethic, and not just skill, favoritism and seniority. A fair chance for all. Thank you for leaving a review, critiques like this will help us to continue to improve our company as we grow. Please reach out to me directly if you wish to discuss these issues further.

Vantaggi

The managers of this organization is motivated to dominate the industry. During the virtual training, they emphasize the importance to memorize their Quill pitch sales verbatim (which would be good for employees with no sales experience). They also incorporate the 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey (Watching videos) so you can learn how to manage your stress. The online training is 2 weeks long along with 1 week of field work. They expect you to make an average of 10 sales per week to promote from Junior Account Manager (3-5weeks) to Senior Account Manager (3-6+ months). You can expect to talk to 50 businesses a day ( door to door) and your goal is to open an account for 2+ businesses. They are partnered with a warehouse based office supply company , and your job is to talk to businesses (within your assigned territory) to open an account for quill, so businesses can receive 10% discounts on their ongoing office supplies. I think this is a good place to start working if you have no sales experience, and you are looking for a competition driven environment. They have weekly hang outs and provides opportunities to form connection with other employees. Most of their employees are in their early 20s, and are about to or have just finished their undergrad. Salary is mostly based on commission.

Svantaggi

Management do not have proper educational background relating to business and have novice level experience. Heavily focused on numbers and competition. Very similar to multi-level marketing organizational structure.

Thank you so much for your review! First off, I would like to thank you for the kind words in the Pros, and for the accurate description of what we actually do and what the focus is for our entry-level employees. We, including myself, try our very best to make sure people with little or no experience in sales are set up for success BEFORE they hit the field. As far as your cons, I wish you would have included something a little more constructive, but thank you, nonetheless. You're right, I don't have a business degree. My degree is in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from a private university. However, this did not stop me from working hard, learning the ropes, and doing what I had to do to open a business in something I'm passionate about, which is sales and business. I hope you learn in time that the piece of paper you walked across the stage for doesn't define your future, but that you do. As for being heavily focused of numbers and competition. Yes we are. That's not a con to me. It's sales. Find a sales company that isn't focused on your numbers. MLMs, or network marketing, is a system designed off of word-of-mouth referral, and are paid out 2 revenue streams, commissions and recruits. We have one revenue stream, which is the salary or commission structures that we outline in the new hire paperwork (that every single new hire signs and agrees to). No one makes money off of word of mouth selling, no one makes more money by recruiting people, and NO ONE has to buy into my company to work with me. Again, thank you for your review, and I will have my management team as a whole read 7 Habits again, so great suggestion. I wish you all the best! -Aladin Ganibegovic, President
