"Yeah, hello-Bill...This is John (name changed for anonymity purposes) calling you BACK?? from Wealth Systems. I recently ran across YOUR name as someone who requested information about making money from home. You ARE still interested in making money from home, aren't you? Great!!! You've heard of companies (LIKE) Home Depot, Amazon.com and Orbitz, haven't you? Great!! Well, here at Wealth Systems, we partner you with Fortune 500 companies to bring you a LEGITIMATE money making opportunity. John, I have a couple of quick questions which will tell me what you might QUALIFY for. Have you ever tried a home based opportunity before? How long have you been looking? Let me tell you a little about the opportunity. Here at Wealth Systems you will never have to make any sales or even talk to ANYONE on the phone. The reason is because WE do all of that for you. Some of our most successful clients don't even own a computer! Ok, John, do you have a pen and paper? I can wait. Great! What I'm gonna do now is play a short audio tape that will explain all the details and exactly how it works. Jot down any questions you have. When the tape's over, I'll come back and answer any question you might have. If you like what you hear, we'll get you started. If not, we'll part as friends - fair enough? (Tape begins to play - I go have a smoke because I have 17 minutes until the tape is done) Sorry to innundate you with that as I am sure that a lot of you who read this and have heard this opening will probably shudder. The truth about Wealth Systems? It's a great opportunity IF (big if) you have a LOT of money to sink into it and IF you take matters into your own hands for advertising purposes. Just advertise the living hell out of the opportunity, the company will handle the rest for you...but don't go looking for a job there. And by the way - Jay (the GM) - read this and try to discount me...I just gave the opening of the pitch verbatim...tell me I am wrong! I called in response to an ad that said $1000 or more a week. My family and I had just relocated to Arizona and I needed work bad, but didn't want to take just anything...I was hoping for good office work. It was a Sunday, so I left a message when prompted. The next day, Don called me and said that he could tell by my voice that I was what they were looking for. He hired me over the phone on the spot. Hind sight is 20-20, however I DID need work. I went in for orientation and quickly learned what I was going to do...it seemed legitimate and I was told I would never make less than $400 per week but that most times I should make about 1000 or more a week. That never happened... I caught on fast and soon was no longer nervous talking to people on the phone...I was determined to be the best!!! I showed up an hour early every day and stayed at least 1/2 later every night...I figured it was just the dues one should pay when new and wanting to be the best at what they did. Being new to Arizona was culture shock enough, but soon I realized that I would need to spend time with my family. However, at Wealth Systems, if you don't meet your goal come Friday, you HAVE to come in Saturday...if Saturday doesn't provide your goal, you HAVE to come in Sunday... People aren't stupid overall, and it was very difficult to persuade someone to purchase an expensive opportunity from someone they never met, and just called out of the blue (THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED "Cold Calls", Jay)!!! Third weeks paycheck - $118.00 That was it...I knew I couldn't provide for my family on that, so I told them I would resign...even though I really did like the place and people I worked with.... Thankfully I fould a better position with a reputable company...however, before the pay came in from the new job, I figured I would get my pay from wealth systems...we seemed to part on good terms...I was told I had two checks remaining there and was actually happy about that...went to pick them up...left the building and opened the checks to discover that both of them were made out for ZERO DOLLARS and ZERO CENTS!!! When I asked about it, I was told it was for expenses incurred with training and my access pass!!! What??? Any way, I should have persued it further, but I went made it through with loans from family and went on to be the BEST in the new industry that I am in and am very thankful for the lesson.... Just wanted to finally get that off my chest...thanks for listening and good luck if you are a "client"
