Mr. Checkout Joel Goldstein Zinnia Ortiz They took my $5000 and works a couple of weeks on my account. Nothing since the first month. They put the oweness of me to give them a reason to work further on my account. Oviedo Florida
I chose Mr. Checkout vs. another company that offers a similar service. During my initial call with Zinnia I asked why I should choose Mr. Checkout vs. the other company. Zinnia told me that the other company does a blast email and that is it. Mr. Checkout will stay involved with me as a "partner". Well, nothing could be further from the truth.
After paying my $5000 deposit, I was given access to the database of their "clients". I was disappointed to see there were a LARGE amount of smoke shops - not my prospects. I was also disappointed to see how many duplicate entries were being counted in the 1000 number. When I asked Joel about this, I was told they were in the process of cleaning up their database. Really?
I received three emails with interested parties on them - a total of 24 company names. There were duplicates and wrong telephone numbers on the lists. When I called three of the names, I was told they did not know about my product. I have never received any accounting for the $5000. I only owed $250 in commissions after the first 6 months.
They have not done any work on my behalf after the first month. I only hear from them if I contact them. When I spoke with Joel and asked for half of my payment back since the commissions stream was so low, I was told that I needed to send them updates so they could work on my account again. Really? You have $5000 (a lot of money to a small business) of my money and need further reason to work on my account?
I have contacted a lawyer in Florida and I am contacting the trade journal that is running their ad so other small businesses don't make this mistake.
