A knock on the door tonight was very odd – we never get anyone actually knocking on the apartment door. I answered it and two women smiled at me. I thought Jehovahs Witnesses but I then spied a little book with the name Victoria Jackson on it.
I said Oh I’d heard of it –
VJ: ‘Where said they.’
MP: Beaut.ie and they didn’t like it.’
VJ: Oh you can’t believe everything you read on a blog. (They said blog rather than web – I never mentioned blog!)
MP: Eh actually I….
And then I stopped and thought I don’t need to start that one on my doorstep. I closed the door and locked it. I don’t need the grief of a debate on consumer knowledge and intelligence and I don’t buy something like makeup from the door.
Read The Beauts post that I remembered and all the readers comments.
I don’t think you should believe everything you read on a blog – but I do trust Beaut.ie and am laughing at the sales pitch being used by the poor unfortunate sales staff to rebut anyone who may have read about them. Like you should always believe a sales person and their bumph.
fair enough if u dont like the job, if its not 4 u, tht doesnt mean its a scam. so rather than being on the dole, this job is a great experience, its great 2 hav on ur cv. it gives u confidence 2, really helps u be the best u can be, whats wrong with enthusiasm. who wnats 2 be miserable in work evry day, its great how they have such a good attitude, u really look at the world in a different way, makes u realise u can actually do anything if you work for it guys n gals. try not to be so negative all the time. if u ar in the job and its costing u more money than u ar making, give urself a chance 2 prove yourself, or maybe ur just not cut out for the work ! its rly very simple… some ppl are just afraid of what they dont know ! so step up and quit the noncense! and i do apologise if i made spelling mistakes (im nly human) b4 some one decides to send a post something ridiculous about me. thanks 4 reading

Please read it! This is an important message to everybody who applied for ** m******** s******* or i**** d***** ltd [Edited by Maman Poulet for legal reasons] (the same place, but for some unknown reasons they change the name of company). Anyway, I’m talking about the company located in 27 capel street in Dublin.
I worked there for a week and was definitely enough. What they do is a total brainwash. All they do is to convince you that this is the best job ever, you have to sacrifice yourself and “breathe this job”… . You need to be there before 8 every morning, they give you a quick training of selling techniques and teach you how to manipulate others (without using the ‘manipulating’ word) while the person who is taught has no idea that he/she is actually being manipulated. I know a lot about NLP and marketing, so it was so funny to me, when I saw how they use the techniques I know on myself! Another part of the morning meeting is dancing in the circule, clapping hands and shouting how incredible you feel, how amazing you are and so on…
And there is a horribly loud music so you hardly can hear others and even yourself. You become bemused by it. The real aim is to stimulate you to feel great today, smile all the time (if you forget about it, they ask you what’s wrong). They repeat some sentences all the time, and finally you start to believe in them.
They keep on saying that it is not about selling, but it’s about having fun, developing and progressing. The more effort you put, the quicker you are promoted. The promotion means, that you no longer spend in the work 12 hours a day, now you are the first in and the last out (you don’t get any additional payment, still commission based) and your stay at work is longer than 12 hours, and what is more you have to look after others, not only yourself, even though you are an ‘independent distributor’ – that’s how they call you.
After a week of working there I couldn’t think of anything else, they can’t go out of your mind. That was only a week for me (who was actually aware of what they do, but was there only to earn some money for vacations) and I felt that something’s going wrong with me. I remember I was so tired after 5 days of working there and wanted to have a 2 days weekend. Saturdays are not compulsory, but just try not to appear there… so I decided to go there for the first and last time. What I heard during the managerial training was that in a year I will run my own company, earn loads of money, with no risk, and there is no such possibility that it will not happen ;/ I couldn’t look at these faces of my colleagues, so impressed and so amazed. Their comments were so naive that it was really difficult to listen to.
You know what is interesting? The guy who talked about it was a manager and wore a cheap shirt from Dunnes and even cheaper shoes. He did not look as rich as he was supposed to be.
This is a subject I could keep talking and talking about, but I think it is enough to warn you against these companies however it is called now.
Please, give a wide berth from that place.
I really hope it helped someone.
Take care guys
I have got an interview for a company called F*** T**** acquisitions tomorrow, they are based in Sheffield at the same address as P*** Direct and a few other company names i have noticed, and the email i received was the spitting image of 1 i have seen repeated numerously on a different blog….the only thing that had changed was the name of the company. After reading this and the other blog i found i am not going to put my current jobs in danger by taking it any further.
I am so happy i found this site.
Thanks all
Mike
I had an interview yesterday!
Yorkshire – Sheffield (xxx Solutions : sales and marketing)
reconed they represented, oxxxx, cxxxxxxx wxxxxxxxx n Rxxxx and things!! well a dont care what they represent cos its all a load of balls!!
in my interview he explained bit about the company, didnt mention pay at all!! didnt mention door to door just said everythin was client orientated. im 17 years old and he said they hours would be 9am – 11pm. thats a 10hour shift. legally im not alloud to work that long but yet he said it was fine. Im from Barnsley myself so that would mean me getting up at 8 and not getting home while about half 10 at night. He interviewed me and another applicant together! and on our way out he said he would ring us within an hour to let us know if we got the job…. NO THANKS!
a didnt mean to put half 10 at night lol,,, a meant later than that
These companies will suck the life out of you… They will drive you till there is nothing left. This is p***** d*****, d* m********, etc. etc. They are all dangerous!! They will expect you to do door-to-door with no consideration for traveling expenses, weather or insurances…
You guys are so far up your own arses it’s fucking rediculous. Its a fairly basic concept that the biz works on, that being “you only get what you give”. I have now seen 5 ppl start in the biz and progress through it to mgmt level and they’ll be more successful, and richer in 5 years than any of you snotty nosed c**** will be in your entire lives, just coz you were all too fucking stupid or arrogant to understand it. I’d love to know how many of the ppl that posted on this chose to sponge taxpayers money (or daddy’s money, for all you posh d4 fuckheads!!!) instead of trying to see if it is what it actually is.
Anyway, my rant is over, for now.
Upmost respect to you Derek, hope everything is going great for you in belfast.
Till next time……..
Oh, one last thing,
All you posh, rude, arrogant cunts who don’t do business at the door, get a fucking life, stick the kettle on, and show me some of that famous irish hospitality thats only ever found in the dirtiest council estates in the country, by the poorest ppl among us.
We door2door guys/gals are human too you know.
Hi guys, act/clearwater/xd marketing etc etc. Complete gimic, went to an interview in dunlaoghaire this week. Trust me things that seem too good to be true always are. Take care
Ive been in the company 1 month and loving it!! you reap what you sow, getting a chance to build my own team and open a business yeah sure there are some sacrifices and hard days which ive made no sales but personally im not motivated by money, self satisfaction from being able to motivate others in a team enviroment is what gets me up everyday, very negative response on this site guys, all from people who’ve only went for interviews or spent a week in the job, seriously people need to look at themselves and see what their made of! Ive met so many positive people since i started this job, some people would rather sit on their asses watchin jeremy kyle all day, if thats what get your through your day fair play, ive been there its depressin! the job has made me toughen up mentally and improved my confidence 10 fold, what i would say is give it a go and not be thrown off by all the negative reactions by people on this blog, if i just read this without been in the job id prob be scared shitless! All you need is a good mentality and theres nothin stopping you! Take care guys, who knows in a year i could be interviewing you!
