I got the email and telephone call today with an interview on friday (2 days away). As per usual i got all excited on deicding what to wear, looking up directions etc etc.. of course being at uni was desperate for money! i followed the website link on the email and thought it was a little strange, soon finding blog after blog of about how this company is door to door selling and leave you in the middle of nowhere - no thankyou! I really appreciate it, you've saved a lot of people time and money!<br /><br />Jess XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396481075878568968.post-81520045689753361732012-03-31T12:44:33.492+01:002012-03-31T12:44:33.492+01:00I am so glad I googled this company and your blog ...I am so glad I googled this company and your blog came up as I just got an email offering me an interview - they have send me 4 emails now which i thought was strange as I have not even had a phone call really begging me to go for this job.Grapefruit Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997518767049677827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396481075878568968.post-63999986304861120052011-12-13T20:29:01.849+00:002011-12-13T20:29:01.849+00:00Thanks a lot for doing this blog.

I have...A rather correct blog on the subject Livon.<br />I have just had an email from Monster Marketing Direct based in London inviting me to interview next week. The thing that made me suspicious is that the email and attachment are almost identical to an email I recieved from Red Planet Marketing a few months ago. <br />I went to that 1st stage interview, was indeed sat in a shabby, multicoloured waiting room with 20 other people, and interviewed alongside two others. I had sent my C.V. for an Administrative role and soon realised it didn't exist. I said thank you but I do not want to work in sales and left.<br />The main problem I have with companies such as these are that they advertise for a role that doesn't exist and waste my time. <br />Also, to Gary, the reason that big companies use sales groups like these are that they are sub contracted through larger groups such as Cobra and are cheap as fuck to hire. Scottish Power, Tesco, Vodafone, all cut as many corners as possible to get the cheapest labour, and this is no different. Those three mentioned are also horrible companies to work for. <br />Anyway, I need to email Monster Marketing now to tell them where to go.<br /><br />MooseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396481075878568968.post-59772713633715147012010-05-06T17:33:36.349+01:002010-05-06T17:33:36.349+01:00Thank you for having this in your blog, I myself h...Thank you for having this in your blog, I myself had a call a few minutes ago and I thought it already strange, I mean, they called me after not even an hour, their site wasn't working and they aren't listed anywhere..

They give a false perception to people about what the job is all about, by mentioning 'advertising' and 'marketing' in their ads. They usually don't mention the word 'sales' which is the biggest role in the job itself.<br /><br />What they also do, which is misleading, is fail to tell you what the role entails, until they have dropped you off at the scummy council estates for you to find out for yourself. Ok, the products and services that they are selling do generally offer customers better value for money – granted. But, organisations such as N-Power (which was a service/product I was asked to sell on my ‘observation day’), though cheaper than British Gas, do not offer a better all-round service. So, how can a product/service be sold when the seller does not even believe in it? <br /><br />Also, the speech’s and conferences (like Cobra Group) by the people at the top of the pyramids in these organisations are constantly pumped into the employees faces on a daily basis, giving them a false perception of what this kind of structure is all about. They try to make you feel important and part of one big successful family, when in reality, you are just another pawn, being used at the bottom of the pile, earning the serious money for the people on top of the pyramid.<br /><br />The potential earnings of £100k-£150k in the first year (which I was told was the case) are just not realistic. If this was really the case, then far more people would be doing this as a career. In reality, to earn anything near that in this line of work, you would have to work ridiculous hours and give away your social life (and sanity) in the process. Jobs like these only have one primary focus -MONEY! Don’t be fooled by these people – the only reason they fill your head with crap is because they want you on their team. The more people they have on their team, the more money they are likely to make and the less hours they are likely to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396481075878568968.post-37369998865031202742010-02-19T12:09:17.011+00:002010-02-19T12:09:17.011+00:00Okay sunshine, calm down, you must be atleast 40 y...Okay sunshine, calm down, you must be atleast 40 years old to have been a police officer and in the army, and I am certain that everyone I saw at the first interview were aged between 20 and 25. Furthermore I was forced to make a sale on my second interview. My friend works for LMS and believes he is doing very well for himself. All I know is I was making more money promoting Intel products in store that wasn't commission based. I don't believe what LMS are doing is illegal, however do firmly think that it is unethical and immoral especially the way the role is advertised.blessdiemhttp://blessdiem.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396481075878568968.post-26624763108781094302010-02-06T20:27:34.047+00:002010-02-06T20:27:34.047+00:00Sell Crap????
I dont see raising money for charit...Sell Crap????<br /><br />I dont see raising money for charities as selling crap!!!<br /><br />I dont see saving people money on phone bills as selling crap!!!<br /><br />I dont see offering hard working people the chance to treat loved ones with cosmetics usualy in the price range of only the rich and famous as selling crap!!!<br /><br />If this company is a scam, I would find it very hard to believe that huge multinational companies such as the carphone warehouse, victoria jackson, vodaphone, scottish power, tesco, argos, selfridges... to name but a few would be asking them to work on their behalf! <br /><br />The type of work at the entry level may be hard and different to what people may expect to do at entry level, but isnt it the same in any company??? no one gets a job straight away as a commander in the armed forces or CEO of a supermarket chain!!! You have to work hard from the bottom up!!!... exactly the same with these companies!<br /><br />Ask yourself this one question...<br /><br />If it is a scam then why wouldnt the authorities get involved and close them down???... after all they havent moved to another location they stay where they are!<br /><br />I followed these blogs for a while after being slightly suspicious a few months back when offered an interview at a similar place! .. Guess what I gave it a chance saw the bigger picture and oppertunity on offer and havent looked back since!... Its not for everyone granted but just because it works a little different to what we are force fed as the "norm" doesnt really make it a scam now does it!<br /><br />And before anyone blogs about brainwashing and all the other bollox i have seen on blogs like this dont bother...... I am not a young wet behind the ears graduate, i have been round the block and have a lot of life experience as an ex soldier and ex police officer so know a con when I see one and this surely isnt one, its a great oppertunity to work in a very very fun environment make lots of money as long as you apply what is taught to you and develop yourself along the way! <br /><br />Yeah the role is 100% commision based, but dont you think it makes business sense to do that as the company only charges its clients for the sales they make??? would be stupid to pay people a basic if they were to go out, be lazy and make no sales instead just sit in the warm pub all afternoon!!!! Also means you get to write your own paycheck! you get out what you put in! <br /><br />May sound a bit rantish (if thats a word) but I am pretty peeved with the fact that something although yeah not the normal way, but a way that really works all the same can be deemed as an instant scam! <br /><br />I would say just give it a go and if its not for you then what have you lost??? a couple of days out of your whole lives... no biggey!<br /><br />One last thing... the second round interview... you are only there to observe the basic entry level role not to actually do any sales you observe and get told about the role and oppertunity at the same time being assessed on your suitibility for a position... same way other companies work!!!!!Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396481075878568968.post-74113273081139114672010-02-03T01:24:40.535+00:002010-02-03T01:24:40.535+00:00I don't think you're being completely nega...I don't think you're being completely negative as it is a COMPLETE SCAM.

SO KEEP THE BLOGS COMING. Graduates do not deserve this sort of treatment from deceiving companies. I was completely scammed and now I just have my anger when it comes to this bastards.
