Milestone Marketing in Indianapolis doesn't even DO DOOR-TO-DOOR. They operate under corporate agreements with Sam's, Walmart, Best Buy and others to operate inside the store itself. Theres booths and ads in store for Milestones clients. Each store gets paid a certain amount to allow it. And each store offers deals, discounts, and gift cards for purchasing the product or service therein.
Menards for example offers a 100 gift card for signing up for directv in-store through milestone. Called "in-store marketing".I dont know of any of those other marketing companies that have such a deal. Do you? It gives the sales rep much more credibility since the store has an agreement with the clients they market for. Not the case with door-to-door or business-to-business. So, Get your facts straight.
Marketing/Sales isn't for everyone but some of us are very good at it. That is why it's still the industry with the most six-figure salaries by far. On the directv side of the business, even at the entry level, signing someone up is a minimum of 100 bucks on up to 250 depending upon ones position. Its actually one of the few legitimate, decent potential opportunities out there. So, don't put it in the same category as other firms which are absolute ripoffs.
