Forgot what you saw int he ads, its all rubbish. You'll be going door to door and selling pizza and ski coupons. You will also go door to door to generate leads for Renovation Companies.

What you're not told is: Its staright commission. apprx $1 - $10 (on the coupons) and $20 - $25 for each complete lead you generate.

You'll work from 7:30am - 6:00 and then you'll be mind screwed into staying until at least 7:30 or 8:00pm

Or from 10:00am - 10:00pm doing door to door in residential areas.

Brad Rice is Not Canadian, he is paid a salary by Smart Circle to promote their "Opportunity" or "Franchise Ownership" or "Managment" where they claim you make the big $$

This is not true, as a Manager or Owner, you make around $40 - 60,000 a year and have to spend $30,000 a year on monster ads and work from 7:00am until 12 midnight until you can dupe others into their own "opportunity"

If Brad likes you, he'll make sure to get you to management - this can take anywhere from 8 months to 2 or more years that I've seen. You now have to dupe others into peddling cards or booking leads. Not to mention the family and friends that will disown you when they find out what you've got yourself into. Living in "merch houses" with 5 other people because you can no longer pay your bills. Giving half your commision to people you recruit so they make money that day and don't leave...it goes on and on.

Joseph MacNeil was recently promoted to Manager after going door to door for over 2 years and living with 4 other people including 1 drug addict and 1 alcoholic. The job ruins your relationships becuase you are always with them, your health suffers becuase you are looked down upon if you take a full 30 minute lunch and need to stop and use the restroom

I've had my own seeing others doing drugs and told the Brad about it.

Here's what he told me: They do no backgound checks, no drug tests and you make cash daily. Addicts are in love with these companies. The top sellers are usally the ones with the addiction issues. If the sales drop, then they'll be a problem ????

Don't know about you, I'd much rather work normal hours, keep my home, my friends and family and get promoted to management at a real company.
Save your soul...save your time

They've now shifted to Pickering, Ontario becasue of the brave ones that are jumping on and filing reports on the website. Good For all of you! Keep adding! Recruiting is how they stay alive and are about to keep duping people into thinking they're not making commission, not going door to door and not working 18 hour days for little or no moeny.

Brad Rice will change the name of the company in order to distance himself from the bad press. That's why he changed the name of his company from Bond Marketing Group.
