Complaint Review: ADROIT ACQUISITIONS INC- ANOTHER CYDCOR AFFILIATE COMPANY

To start off, I always found it humorous how vague everything is. But how are you supposed to get employees with a description like "Door to door salesman" when it's one of the most looked down on professions? I suggest that the person who filed this originally did not give it a proper chance. I have been an employee there for some time, and I enjoy it a lot.
To start off, the overall atmosphere is great. Everyone in the office has a great attitude, is friendly, and fun to be around.
Going door to door is what you make of it. When I go out to a neighbourhood, I don't think about selling anything. What I do is go out and talk to people, and have fun with them - Whether or not they're interested in the product. It's good exercise, it's nice to spend time outside, it's nice to talk to many people, and if you're having fun and being friendly with people you're going to be making a ton of money anyways.
To sum up, it's a fun job to have if you enjoy talking to people at all, and although it's not something I plan to make a career of, it's a great way to make a load of money in a short amount of time while having fun doing it.
my only gripe is that they can't directly deposit your paycheque into your bank account.

The false recruiting ad is a Cydcor corporate wide practice and is used in all Cydcor companies.

They have found that very few people would respond if the ad is truthful: commission only and door-to-door sale.

Of course many people who show up for the interview would not take the job once they find out the truth. But Cydcor thinks it is better to have one out of 30 interviewees to take the job than to have no one showing up.

It's their "law of the average": one out 30 would take the job and one of 50 doors you knock on will buy something from you.

My complain against Adroit acquisitions was that they were not honest, clear about their positions and that they wasted my time. Limitless opportunity does not mean selling sales door to door nor does it mean working eleven hours a day. Their ad on the internet did not say 100% commission, 11 hours a day, walking door to door in the sun, rain and snow. I went for two interviews and it wasn't until the end of the second interview when I gathered up all the information - all the information that they could have stated at the beginning on the phone or in the first interview.

If this is their filtering process I believe they are worried they wouldn't have people working for them or else they would state everything at the very beginning. I dont mind working hours other than 9-5 but I do have objections working 11 hours (10-9) a day on commission, no benefits, no holidays, no extra pay.

People who lack self confidence (lack of public speaking ability) and want to work outside in all weathers are more than welcome to join Adroit. I am happy to put this information on the internet and let everyone know how this company works. It's up to each individual to decide if this job is for them or not but atleast they get this information right here right now and not after two interviews which to me were very misleading. Also who ever reads this information does not have to believe any of this information written however this will prepare them to ask questions at the right time and the right way.

My name is Jessica Ranger and I am a former employee of Adroit Acquisitions Inc. Before giving a brief account of my experience with the company I would first like to address the complaint waged against their hiring process. Like all pyramid-structured companies, Adroit welcomes applicants who are self-motivated, ambitious and confident. The particular avenue of sales in which the company is currently engaged requires no bottom line for their independent distributors because it is NOT a sales company, but a business-development resource for people looking for performance-based opportunity and income (a.k.a. commission).

The general consensus being that success and security are the result of years of climbing whatever sector's seniority ladder is extremely limiting, and a product of individuals' lacking confidence in their own performance capabilities. Adroit's hiring process is intended to filter out those individuals who are looking for a guarantee and to welcome those applicants who are looking for limitless opportunity.

The job is not for everyone; after all, I did say I was a former employee of the company. The position tends to attract people of a particular breed. That is, people who are tired of mucking around in the market of sentence served, pension accumulated. The free business education and development opportunities alone are what sold me on the job. And while I was there I overcame some very important obstacles that would have otherwise been a thorn in the side of my professional practice such as, working in a team-based environment, handling objections, maintaining a professional demeanor, and public speaking.

I've since left Adroit on a positive note to pursue other interests, but my experience with Adroit in a Leadership capacity has significantly improved my resume and I continue to benefit from the support of the company's president who is committed to overseeing my next project a project that, prior to my employment with the company, I lacked the confidence to develop.

To conclude my rebuttal, I would like to say that, based on the anonymous report it would appear that the filtration process ran its proper course for the individual who waged the complaint. It's true that the individual was ripped off', but Adroit Acquisitions Inc. is not the culprit of the injustice. It was committed by the applicant himself, who failed to see that success is a state of mind and not a nine-to-five job.

PROS V. CONS

I have been surfing around the comments about all these B 2 B businesses. They all seem legitimate, kind of whiny. With all jobs I have worked, there are pros and cons.

A little background about my experience. I worked for The Advertising Group in Los Angeles. The campaign was going door-to-door selling Quill office supplies. Supposedly it was supposed to be the best in the country at the time on that campaign. I only worked there about 2 months after taking the California bar exam to become a lawyer. I really was not expecting much about the job. I was decent at selling, quickly becoming a leader. But it was tough work walking around neighborhoods all around LA. Not to mention the wear and tear on your car. But in reality, it was the BEST and WORST job I have ever had.

The CONS

My biggest complaint with the whole organization is simple They make it seem like anything around than this job is for losers. Many leaders would talk about how those 9 to 5ers are such losers working for someone else. The people in history I respect most are Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Mother Theresa. None of those people were rich, good looking or great salespeople. You would think people in this organization would view them as losers. Not me.

They also like to think this is the only way to make some money. I am not that fixated on money. But people like Donald Trump and Dale Carnegie are fine. But I do not proscribe that philosophy. There are plenty of ways to make money outside of door-to-door or sales. It is ridiculous this is the only path to success.

They also have this unbelievable way of sniffing on negativity. Anybody who has rolled a donut will feel down. That is normal. But showing that emotion is pounced on, probably not to neg out the others. But this should be a normal part of any business. There always be highs and lows.

PROS

There are not many pros. But I gained a few. I learned some art of selling. They gave tried and true techniques that seemed to work. They also are betting on the law of averages, which will help in any business.

I learned a good phrase Confidence is gained by doing something you fear most and being successful at it. If you can go into an office building and sell crappy office supplies to someone who does not want it, then it gives you confidence.

Some people can make good money. A very few can become owners.

SUMMARY Most should not do it but those who love to sell might like it.

I do not really understand those who whine about not knowing what they're getting into. The whole 3 interview process is kind of misleading. But you watch what the job is going to be before taking the job. You could just not show up to the job. I was not promised anything but commission. Those who promise otherwise and don't deliver should be sued.

Right now, I am an attorney working in the LA area. In fact, I work at a law firm not to far from the office at TAG. I love my job. It took a while to get deprogrammed from this experience after only 2 months. A weaker person may have been devastated. I can understand how some people would be furious. I like to use it as a learning experience.

The key is figure out in the first week if this is for you. If it is not, then move on. In fact, run. Do not let the bills and mileage on your car run up. If you love selling and going door-to-door, this is a great opportunity. I'm sure you'll make a lot of money.

Hope this was helpful.
