Choice Solutions Consulting Services - Scott Tubbs Rectred of his own complaint! Shreveport Louisiana
I responded to an ad for a sales trainer and was contacted and invited to sit in on a conference call where I would be given all the information about this tremendous opportunity to make high earnings.
Scott Tubbs seemed a bit slick to me. He mentioned that his partner a Chris Reed had been the top trainer at Zig Ziglar Corporation. A Google of Chris Reed, Reid, etc. brought up not conenction to Zig Zigar.
A Google search of Scott Tubbs brought up a complaint here on Ripoffreport. com, that he wrote about a former employer, Wolrd Wide Consulting Services. Ironically, the complaint mentions all the same 'scams' that Scott Tubbs is trying to foist on people as automotive sales trainers: a $4500 up front fee; he encourages people who would be trainers to hide their income from the IRS; and he expects people to believe that people wanting to sell cars would pay $629 for sales training.
Come on, car sales people are usually down and out and hard up for jobs; they are unlikelt to pay $629. Meanwhile, Scott Tubbs has the money that each traine rpays up front for their 20 training kits - $4500. In my mind, this is just a scam run by a fast talking Louisiana boy.
I should have know better when his email contained numerous typos, and his sceretary who hponed me called me "hon".

I do believe this same company is a "fly by night" operation as well.

The woman who called you "hon" is named "Ashley" - I have NO idea if that is her real name, and Scott Tubbs is her boss. She cannot spell to save her life.
I found a job in the newspaper for an appointment setter and got a job here for about a week, calling people (like you) in for interviews for sales training. I had no idea - until afterwards - that the whole thing was a scam. I thought it VERY suspicious that we would call people all over the US, yet when they called us back with questions, answering the phone was optional! Any other office would fire you quick if you were a CSR. Also strange is that if we are calling people, we need good phones and phone service, correct? Wrong! They said the service was Vonage - which is odder still because the phones had really crappy reception. Sometimes, we couldn't call out for an hour or two. Why not switch to another company? Chances are because they wanted something cheap and easy to remove in a hurry.
I needed a job pretty badly, so I ignored it. Big mistake.
Anyway, I worked there for about a week in the Pierremont office, and the next Monday, we were closed for a holiday (I don't remember which one). I show up for work Tuesday, and the office is completely empty! The woman who cleaned our office just happened to pass by, so I asked her what happened. She said that when she came in Tuesday, she found the office empty. By this time, I'm sooo angry because I am a college student and needed the money to pay tuition. I did not go to school that semester b/c I couldn't afford it. It was a whole week of pay, gone!
I had to tell my parents because I was staying with them, and they were wondering why I did not stay at work that day. I told them about the office being completely empty, and they said that a neighbor had the same thing happen to her. She told me to go by the office at random times during the week to see if I could catch anyone there who could give me a paycheck, because it is very illegal to work without pay. I never found them, and they no longer exist, including their website.
I did not think this would happen at a company with a nice office building (the furniture was crappy too, for that type of office...another clue, I guess) surrounded by respectable businesspeople in a nice part of town, but it just proves there are shysters everywhere!
After being screwed by this company, I found another ad in the paper for a clerical position at MJ Promotion. If you search for them, I wrote about their scam too.
What can I say? I was having a bad run of luck then, but I graduated and have my dream job now!

I was one of the lucky ones who has enough common sense to read all contracts and when I saw that they do not guarantee a postion with the auto dealer I was applying for and when my "recruiter" would not allow me to speak to the general mgr and finding out that I did not have a start date, bells went off in my head.
Your recruiter neglected to mention how much the manual was even though I asked several times and I asked when the start date was and he was evasive.
And when I kept asking to speak to the general mgr he flatly refused to allow me to speak, so I kept my money and waited and was offered a position without spending $629.00 for a training manual that was basically useless to me. I have won numerous awards for "award winning sales", so I did not need or want that manual and just wanted to see the whole procedure to the end because I Knew what was going to happen.
Care to address why your recruiters dont tell them they dont have a job or tell the price of the manual in the initial interview?
