Direct Buy - Directbuy Female Sales Director uses the LORD to sell memberships Conyers Georgia
This center is all over the place. Don't feel this membership is worth $5,000. If you finance it, the int rate is 18%. That's an additional $1,500. YIKES!!!
If you don't want to pay finance charges, the cash offer price for their membership is $4,000.
My husband and I visited this center last month and sat with a fairly large black woman with a bad wig who said she was a director. After the tour we sat down at a table and started to converse. When we told her we didn't think this membership was a great fit for us, she started preaching about the LORD and how the LORD sent us in her path and wanted her to help us stop paying retail. She just kept going on and on. Almost begging us to take this membership. I finally asked her is she was on commission. She said yes and that commission was only $25.00 a person. I asked her, that out of $5,000, all she gets is $25.00? And she said yes because the owners aren't able to pay their directors what the other centers are paying their directors. WHOA!!! We just wanted to learn about Direct Buy. Wasn't expecting to be in church. I suggested that she should probably look for another gig. I almost felt sorry for her.
What kind of people do you hire here? We were so turned off and her grammar was horrible. If this is the type of employees the company has representing them, then this center really doesn't know how to hire or run a business.
I called another center in Duluth and did some investigating. I found out that the owners of the Conyers center is Rick and Barbara Smith. Their son, daughter and the son's best friend (Ryan Smith, Megan Smith, Brian Watson) works for them and are overpaid for what they don't do. I was told that they are struggling and are about to lose their franchise because they are behind in their franchise fees in the tune of $300,000. Also, they are under watch by corporate because a member who placed a large order around christmas complained that the order was never placed but the center swiped their credit card for payment.
Richard and Barbara Smith were co-mingling money from members who paid for merchandise they ordered. They were using this money to pay their bills and payroll - and not placing members orders. Apparently, when you place an order, you have to pay upfront.
BUYER BEWARE!!!
IF YOU JOIN THIS CENTER, THE DOORS MAY CLOSE SOON. THEN WHAT!!! YOU WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL TO DULUTH TO DO YOUR BUSINESS.
I HEARD THE STAFF IS NICER THERE.
