Sales & Marketing Group, Inc. (SMGI) REVIEW: SMGI has one of the highest employee satisfaction ratings in the industry. Sales and Marketing Group, Inc “Best Place to Work winner, Philadelphia Business Journal.†SMGI employees thrive in a fast-paced environment that offers constant development, education, and training.
E.L. Griffin is the Director of this company. He is a scam artist. Hired a recruiter to scout appoinment setters for his sales and marketing group. After contracts were exchanged, he made up an excuse of not to pay. He didn't even pay the employees that were hired after their 3 weeks of employment. He has been called, texted, and emailed about paying for services rendered. He either dodges the contacts or pretend to say that "corporate" has a hold on his money. Yet he has time to get his home repaired. He abuses employees and have them call on businesses to set up credit services for No Credit Check 90 Day Payment Plan. However, he rips everyone off by not paying them! He must be stopped and pay everyone as agreed. Do not do business with this man if you want to avoid embarassment and not get paid for your efforts!!

The recruiter NEVER had a personal relationship with E.L. Griffin of National Sales and Marketing Group. All work was accomplished virtually. Meaning, the recruiter only met E.L. Griffin via email and over the phone as many of their past clients have been. The recruiter was referred to him by a colleague from Louisiana. The request was to assist with hiring Appointment Setters for The No Credit Check Finance Program. E.L. Griffin NEVER paid the recruiter for the services rendered. Two employees were hired, but Griffin NEVER paid even as simply through PAYPAL as was previously asked. Regardless, the recruiter has had more positive opportunities from new clients that stemmed from this negative experience. Please see contract for services signed by both parties ATTACHED to this rebuttal. So...who is lying here? Why would the recruiter go through posting negative info against someone or business, thus risking their own reputation, nothing to lose but a bad client!

There is not much to say when anyone can place what ever they want without proof of what they claim to be true. all they have to do is get one or more person to place a complaint on a site like this one and if the readers is not knowledgable of how easy it is to place a complaint on this site they will think it is the Gosple Truth. thats all I have to say about this matter and to let let a sleeping giant sleep. I prefer not to stir up a angry bee nest If they went this far.the question is how far will they go to make me to be what they say I am. NOTE: no customers have a complaint and unlike other complaints they used my name because that was their main purpose.All I ask Is don't convict me without proof,My name is envolved.

Mr. Griffins is exactly the way whoever wrote this complaint said he is. I use to work for E.L. Griffin, don't think I'm writing this because I no longer work for him, I Quit. Mr Griffin is as underhanded as they come. Always making promises, but never follow through. What legitimate business man, doesn't have enough money to pay the people he employees!!! I know I wasn't doing charity work!! I have spoken to E.L. Griffin on multiple occasion, & the conversation always ends with a promise to pay, but I have yet to see one cent. The sad part is that I still entertain him when he calls, in hopes that I will get my money. Whoever is reading this stay far, far away from NSMG, E.L Griffin, Eddie Griffin & his real name Eldric Griffin. Please don't get involved with this Con Artist, its just going to leave you Broke!
