Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
INFINITY NATIONAL SCAM HITS MINNESOTA   has been going on all over the country as other business names for years! same pitch.. same scripts.. same list of cities to pick from and same scam to get you to sell to friends and family then go solicit illegally in parking lots making them money while you earn nothing and could be arrested! But who do you say you work for when you are in trouble? since the company has no website, logo, business cards, hell the owners / superiors don't ever even tell you their last names!! DO NOT BE USED AND TRICKED BY THESE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS, the do not own a conscious and will use you until you are months in debt and are forced to "quit" 
Job posting on craigslist read entry level management position, no experiences necessary, will train, new company to the area is expanding and needs managers. First interview was completely scripted and just about everybody gets accepted, second interview, again scripted, ( because I have copies of the papers they use ) is a group style interview which again everyone gets accepted. The following week is the first day of "the learning program" in which they preach about the products and bonuses you will earn in the learning program to speed through and get your office in 60 days, which you get to pick the location of your office, obviously is all made up! Pay scale 35k first year 45 second and profit sharing. THIS has been going on all over the country, I have seen videos on youtube of the exact same speeches and motivational pitches to get you started and excited. Then they have you memorize a script which is posted all over the internet as a scam under different business names but goes something like
"hey quick question for you what kind of fragrance do you wear? Issey miyaki? Ed Hardy? Cool Water? Check it out i work for a wholesale fragrance company and we have all the top designer fragrances up to 80% off, over at the departments stores it would cost you up to $120 but today its yours for only $25 FAIR ENOUGH?"
Then they take you out to the ghettos and popular store parking lots to go up to solicit to people getting in their vehicles and after 3 minutes you're in the car moving again because you cant solicit illegally without a permit or YOU WILL get arrested, cops are called all the time. 
Lets back up to these designer fragrances they sell, they do smell good but it is a lie to say they are the brand name at wholesale pricing, they are RENDITIONS. which you will learn the hard way once you sell to your family and friends the first day and get the bottle and read the fine print on the bottom! Why lie, it smells good but its a remake! not the real deal. 
Than after your first week of bullshit and maybe $75 pay they ask you to go out of town and solicit for 4 days and totally fill your head with you were double promoted this week garbage! 

IT DOES NOT END. This cycle does not end. You were not one of the lucky 6-12 chosen to get your own office, they choose 6-12 people EVERY SINGLE WEEK. As soon as you're out "shadowing and learning" in the field, they new group is in the classroom hearing the EXACT SAME SPEECHES you did, and being told to pick a location and so forth. 

DO NOT BE FOOLED. These people are incredibly likable, motivated, and are trying to make you feel encouraged and special but you are a pawn and they have hundreds of you go in and out their door every week, selling to friends and family, making them money for FREE, soliciting illegally, and quitting because either you REALIZE its a scam or you are broke from their lies! THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF down and out people looking for work. What they are doing is immoral, as of now I haven't found anything illegal with it but they are soulless. You sign the paper saying you're an independent contractor, no refunds, and after the learning program you will get an office. They make sure you will not make it until then because its NOT REAL. and once you have signed those papers your actions are your own liabilities. Just ask yourself why does not one person have a last name? why is this new company to the area NOWHERE to be found online, or have a logo? or anything a NORMAL LEGIT business would have.

LOL do they or do they not solicit illegally without a permit and jump from parking lot to parking lot every 2 minutes and linger around the crack stacks, lake street, target somalians and more. that is not a reputable business, they don't even tell you their first and last names, I WORKED THERE. and they dont even have a website or a logo or anything a normal legit business has. Soliciting without a permit is illegal plain and simple. They push you to do it too and drive you to a parking lot to participate. Of course they say the training program is going to weed out the narrow minded and the negative people because they want to use you as long as they possibly can. I did do my research Its been going on all over the country script after script these people are not real they are androids watch the videos on youtube i have seen dozens of them. Or obviously you are one of them if you disagree with this post. and Youre reaping the benefits of these poor people standing in parking lots 12 hours a day not making any money at all except $7 if they happen to sell 1 or 2 bottles a day whiles the company makes $17. Grow a conscious. 

RUN FAST FROM THIS COMPANY. & when you see them in a parking lot trying to sell to you while youre putting your groceries away tell them to get a real job!

When I read something like this, something written with exaggerations, and at times is just blatantly false - I immediately question it's credibility.

It's unfortunate that forums like this allow someone to post erroneous complaints about a business they know very little about.

Here's the bottom line: it's about learning a new business in 90 days, one with a proven formula, all the support you could ever need, and an unlimited supply of merchandise provided to you UP-FRONT.

It's not a job, it's a chance to become a business owner.

People from all walks of life have come into this business, stayed with it, opened their own deal, and made a better living than their education or experience would get them elsewhere - and in the process, giving others the same opportunity.

That's what this business is about.  Plain and simple.

They've been around for 38 years and you can research more info.  They do not "franchiese" you but you have to work from the ground up.  They were here in the cities I know for sure like 10 years ago.  And these guys have been around here now for like 2 years.  Do your research.  This is some of the stuff I've gatered. 

Crystal:  Rob and Kerri
Coon Rapids:  Jez and Mary
St. Louis Park:  Courtney
Plymouth:  Marcus
Bunrsville:  Tracy and Will
Spring Lake Park:  Lindsay
Minnetonka:  Tiffany and Shane
Fridley:  Heather
Anoka:  Kate
Duluth:  Deb
Minneapolis:  Matt and Jimmy

They are spreading here in the cities.  If you're not intrested in Sales it's not for you.  Product is good.  If you can survive training more power to you.  It's not for me and It's not for Everybody!!
