Complaint Review: Prestige Solutions Orlando

When you make a sales pitch for Prestige solutions, you are trained to make it short and sweet. This is the advice of its enlightened President. The problem is that when you start working the field trying to sell people land lines or internet. You discover horror stories of consumers who have been conned by those that came before you. After a week or so of training you understand that its not lying, its sales! Who cares if the consumer just signed a 24 month contract with a penalty for cancellation. Who cares if the bill sky rockets!

And the problem is that there is no real accountability. Prestige representatives, better known as "leaders" discourage trainees to go into the details of a customer's package. "That is just too much information," one of them would say with a playful frown.

In my humble opinion, the real victims in this elaborate scheme are Prestige's "Leaders" or sales reps (account managers). After a while you can see that each one has taken on the job due to tough personal circumstances such as debt. I truley empathize, for many them are smart, articulate, and good hearted. There are some who actually try to be honest in their sales pitch.

Others are absolutely heartless, like the short plump lady with nonexistent compassion towards the consumers she is supposed to help. After all she is in it "for the money" its not a charity for Pete's sake!

This may be evident due to the harsh and derogatory treatement most customers give to sales reps even in a business setting. But Prestige Solutions reps are not sales reps, they are "consultants" with lives so warped and convoluted they are willing to work like animals for the dream of one day running their own office. Like their President, "who made it" and who motivates them every single morning with the idea of material wealth and financial stability.

If you are one of those leaders who has invested many months of your life to this company, and you are reading these lines, I am not judging. If anything I admire your perseverance and tenacity. However let us not lie to ourselves and pretend that we are doing anything faintly moral. It is all about the bread, people using people. Capitalism at its best I presume. I hope you all make it and get that office and the powers that be don't cheat you out of it.

As for me, I find the whole thing unsettling. I would rather be poor than have no soul.
