If you are interested in involvement with this company as a distributor I recommend you do one thing before forking over your hard earned money. Simply talk to the owner first. I was very interested and ready to invest, but before I did I wanted to talk to people and pick their brains about the business. So I started with them. My conversations were positive until I asked if they had some references of distributors I could speak with. I was told no, but pressed the issue, and was put on the phone with Michael. At first I thought great! I can talk to the owner and get a feel for him and his business. I soon became very disappointed. I was again told "No we don't provide our distributors info to people for references, they are on our website". Which I don't have a problem with, I was simply asking as I would prefer talking with someone rather than reading a statement on the companies site. It seems reasonable considering the distributors names and websites are listed, that they wouldn't mind talking to people.  The problem I had is that Michael became very defensive, even insulted that I would ask such a thing. He is obviously easily upset. My impression of the guy is that he is very thin-skinned and does not like to be questioned. I wasn't even trying to get under his skin, but I think that if I was, and pressed him, he would have had a complete melt down. I can't even imagine doing business with someone like that. In the end he told me "I was not ready for his amazing opportunity, and should look elsewhere". Hahaha, wow! He was right about that, I'm just not worthy!! Funny. If you can't handle the tiniest bit of scrutiny, you are not worthy! Look for this guy to end up on a dateline investigation someday, when he finds out his hidden cameras are being used against him, his reaction will be a youtube sensation! That's my two cents, good luck in your quest for a real business opportunity!

I have been a distributor of Safety Technology since 2011 when I started my business PersonalSafetySource.  I have nothing but praise for them.  They build my sites, gave me detailed information on what I need to do to make my business grow and help me along the way.  They have called my clients on my behalf explaining how certain products work.  

Mr. Gravette has monthly calls with his distibutors on how to grow and expand their business.  He can be blunt, open and honest and some people have a problem with that.  He doesn't baby people - we are all adults!  I find he has a wealth of knowledge and is truly an asset to the customers that buy from him.  He is not thin skinned at all.

If you don't like someone telling you like it is...then this may not be the opportunity for you.  I for one am glad my information isn't randomly given out!!

I use Safety Technology to source several products and would be concerned if the company was giving out my information without contacting me first. That information is confidential. It's not the owners job to run around getting contact infiormation for someone else - plus he has no idea who this person is (could be a competitor). Owner has plenty of other things to do - like build his business.
Any dealing I've had have always been positive. Product ships on time and support always responsive.

My company is Carolina Safety Products, I have been doing business with Mr. Gravette since 2008 and his company has been very professional and caring for my success and other clients. He is a businessman and he is correct in not giving his suppliers confidential information. Every persons experience with running a business is different and their success hinges on their abilities.
