Complaint Review: Aliron Marketing

Hi
My experience with Aliron Marketing, Premier books Direct, Ds-Max started off as a good one. I was out there, pounding the pavement, working 14 hrs a day and I was supposed to be self-employed. I got my territory established with 500 customers by the third month. I still hadn't made my first $1000 week paycheck yet but I knew it was coming. Well, if you believe everything they told you- within the first year you'd make $50,000.

Bullshit!!!! Most of my pays were $400-$500. The free stuff you gave away to make your customers happy was coming directly out of your pocket--- Lets not forget those damages.... right out of your pocket again.... But wait.... Your storage unit... 10 X 20 $155 a month. Did they bother to tell you that you'd need 3 by the third month of shipments. Do they take back the stock that didn't sell.... Of course not... You have to figure out how to get rid of it.

Then you've got your regional manager or national rep phoning you every day to find out how many placements you put out and how many pickups you had. Let's not forget the sales.... The regional gets 2-3 % the national gets 5% of your sweat. They sit at home and play on their computer, trying to figure out how they motivate you to do more. 125 placements a week and 125 Pickups a week. Your weekends weren't even your own... You have to do stock counts, balance your sales and get your deposit ready for the bank. Sunday was spent on your computer getting your paperwork ready for the next day, week.

Calculating the time spent with family and friends yet?Ask my family, they'll tell you. NONE!!!! You are so exhausted you can't even make it thru the weekend without napping constantly.

Was I driven to succeed? I am a driven person, I like working for money. I'm forty years old and my life is just started. Do I like lying to people? Telling people that we are the best company and we completely guarantee our products. We are the cream of the crop with the guaranteed lowest prices? Of course not.

Depending on whether or not you have a conscience will dictate your successfulness in this business. I have a conscience and I couldn't stomach what they were doing or how it was affecting me.

I'm one of the lucky ones.... I got out.... They took my last two paychecks. Tried to leave me hanging... Didn't work.... I'm still here and d**n proud of it.
But of course, this is just one Canadians opinion.
Enjoy
