I have been with Sierra Industries for quite a few months now. I have spent alot of time researching other air filtration products and companies. Somewhere in my searching I ran across these posts spouting negative comments about Sierra, other offices, and HMI. After reading them, I have noticed that most of the posts have come from people who didn't stick around very long. I admit that sales is a tough business. Sales in ANY industry is tough. It just happens to be a little tougher for us because other in-home presentation companies have made a bad reputation for the business by being overly-pushy with the customers. I can't vouch for other offices, though I can assume that they are run much the same way, but Sierra is a no-pressure sale. We don't push the customers into something that they don't want. We lead them to making a decision in getting the cleanest, healthiest home possible. I have never, and let me repeat that, NEVER been unpaid for my work here. When I make a sale, my commission check has always been written on the fourth business day after the sale, as consumers have what is called a "3 Day Buyer's Right to Cancel." That gives the customer three days to really think about the decision that they made so that they can cancel worry-free if they need to. That has happened to me once. As for the base pay, I'm sure that it can be understood that if you fall short of the requirements that you wouldn't get paid for it. If you had a job at a fast food joint, and you were getting paid to flip 10 burgers per day, but you only flipped 6 per day, would you really expect the employer to pay you? I have also noticed that the base pay is one of the things being gripped about. But for anyone who knows how the sales industry goes, that base pay would only be a bonus check. When I run my 24 demos in two weeks, sure I get my $1200 base pay, but if I sell just 1 out of every 3, then my commission checks would total to $2400...which looks more like a "bonus" check? I understand that there's alot of work involved here. But in sales, you don't get paid for the amount of hours that you put in, or how much you've been busting your humps. You get paid for results. Just results. For anyone who wants more information about the true runnings of the company, feel free to contact me through whatever info this site provides, or send a rebuttal to this, as I will recieve an email letting me know about it. Or...just stay in the business for longer than two weeks... =o)
