Complaint Review: Success Express Sales

PLEASE READ ALL INCLUDING CONTACT INFORMATION

---We invest $700 to $800 in to each individual we offer this opportunity to.  This includes transportation to our company on a Greyhound bus.  During the 2 week training period the individuals will be provided with $20 per day for food and a $15 per day hotel fee will be covered.  They are delegated a personal trainer that will be there roommate and assist them in the everyday activities.  We also cover compensation for the trainer.                                           ---The first day in training they observe their trainer on how to approach our potential customers, conversate with them, tell them about our contest, have them pick out magazines & close the sale.  The second day the trainee gets their own materials & start to make their own sales.           

---What we ask in return is they are free to leave their area and travel across the country for our contest at least six months with us guaranteeing transportation home anytime AFTER the "free" 2 week training period.  If they don't have the money on their drawing accounts we will pay for their bus transportation back to the area we hired them from.  Many individuals we bring on do not take this opportunity seriously and leave before the 2 week FREE training period is completed.  This is clearly explained before we start investing $700 to $800.                              ---We expect them to give themselves and the opportunity the full 2 weeks to see if this is the right opportunity for them.  If not we expect them to be honest and call their family/friends and tell them they did not take this seriously and are not keeping their agreement to stay through the 2 week FREE training period and ask for assistance from them.  This is all in writing in a "Terms Of Enrollment Agreement."                                                                                                               

---We have this in place to protect ourselves & have our potential representatives realize they are making a commitment to at least make it through the free 2 week training period.  We do have them call for assistance in this type of situation and make the effort to have their own transportation paid for.  If they can not we will work something out with their family/friends.  It is not our practice to have individuals come out to participate in our program on a whim or looking for a free ride.  We are looking for young adults who want to find and earn their way in life, looking for opportunity.                                                                                                             

---Once this website came to my attention I felt compelled to give some FACTUAL INFORMATION to consumers who visit the Rip Off Report website.   I have read all 10 complaints regarding SUCCESS EXPRESS SALES, INC & PACIFIC COAST CLEARING SERVICES, INC. on this website.                                                                                                   ---Unfortunately all these reports are based solely on assumptions and hear say.  Every one of them have been filed by irresponsible consumers.  It is this kind of irresponsible consumer reporting that slanders good companies based on assumptions and hear say. Please get facts and both sides of the story before you just jump online and do damage in our case to young adults doing something positive and improving their futures.                                                                     ---We would have liked the opportunity to address these situations in a professional business manner.   These consumer should have contacted us through our telephone number (1-253-851-8414 customer service) or mailing address (5775 Soundview Dr. #103-C Gig Harbor, WA 98335), provided on our receipts. or through our website(sesales.info).  We could have appropriately addressed these situations and presented the FACTS.                                                ---This is a positive and constructive goal orientated program for young adults, over 18 years old, to  travel the country developing inter personal communication skills, gaining an education in direct sales and brightening the future of the youth of America. 
---Our representatives are in a contest selling magazines subscriptions to collect points to win a trip to Europe, a Carribean Cruise, or a trip to Australia and cash awards up to $5000.  The top two individuals in the contest every six months win the trip.  The cash awards are awarded in a separate contest in $500 increments.                                                                                                 ---Our business group, Success Express Sales, Inc., has been participating in these contests for over 20 years.  We adhere to a strict code of ethics and moral standards.  Our magazine subscriptions are cleared through the premier magazine subscription clearinghouse & customer service center in the United States, Pacific Coast Clearing Services, Inc.                                        ---In regard to the other issue in these reports filed:
1) These are young individuals who are working on their futures.  They are going to be inquisitive on your career, interest, etc.  They are trying to find their path in life and improve their futures. 
2) The magazine term and cost are dictated by the publishers of the magazines. On any particular magazine it could be just a 1yr, 2yr or 3yr subscription that we are required to offer.
3) There is a $15 process & handling fee for each customer regardless of how many magazines are purchased.                                                                                                                                  4) If more than one magazine is purchased the customer can choose a magazine off of a list that Success Express Sales, Inc. will pay for.                                                                                         5) If magazines ordered are paid for in cash they do receive bonus points.                                    6) All contestants are instructed to obey signs posted and to represent our contest appropriately.        ---Success Express Sales, Inc. does its best to give this opportunity to good young adults searching for an avenue or a path to success.  We conduct general back ground checks and are very selective.  Occasionally an individual may slip through who is not up to our standards and these individuals are released immediately from the contest.                                    ---For any inquiries questions or concerns pertaining to this opportunity please contact us through the website: sesales.info, email: mike@sesales.info or 1-877-646-5050.   
---I believe this could be a fantastic information tool for consumers if used in a responsible manner.  However in these incidences these consumers where hasty in making  such quick judgements based on assumptions & hear say.
