No Qualifying Process: Everyone Accepted into Southwestern
I liked the testimonials sections the best. Please add my experience....it was horrible. Are you kidding me?
My personal experience with "Southwestern" was consistent with the stories. Pay for everything...trip to Nashville....hotel stay in Nashville (1 week / 4 people in my room) ...trip to my territory...which happened to be Pensacola, FL. All gas and miles on my car my problem. First day consisted of us going door to door to "find a headquarters." Luckily an old man had pity on me and let me and 2 of my book selling buddies stay there.
1st guy quit his 2nd week....took me 2 weeks after that to quit as well. Not due to my lack of sales ability...but due to my lack of interest to work 85 hours per week to make $500-$1000 US dollars. That’s if you’re good....if you’re not great at sales you’re screwed.....and that’s the problem with Southwestern.....there is NO QUALIFYING PROCESS...everybody is accepted. I have a guy walking around my neighborhood right now SUMMER 2007 Dayton, OH! With POOR sales ability and BAD ENGLISH! POOR BASTARD! WOW! anyway...like I said...everybody is accepted!
THE BIGGEST SCAM OF ALL!!!!!!!!!
When you "sell" somebody books you ARE NOT ACTUALLY DELIVERING BOOKS TO THEM THAT DAY....rather you are asking them for the 1/2 of the MONEY UP FRONT WITH NO BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!. That's right...you are soliciting for money up front in EXCHANGE for the PROMISE that you will bring the books back in 2 months? Are you kidding me?
Here is how it goes....you knock on the door....person answers...assuming you’re a great salesman/salesgal...they let you in the house.....your goal is to get them interested in the books....get them committed to buy the books........oh but wait...YOU DON'T HAVE THE BOOKS!!!!!!!! that's right...you want them to give you the money for the books TODAY!!! In fact...write a check out to you personally for the books TODAY........that they ARE NOT GETTING TODAY!!!!!! In good faith that you will bring the books back at the end of the summer!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Get money up front for a product that YOU ARE NOT delivering TODAY!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A JOKE!!! This is the biggest thing you must look at as somebody possibly volunteering for this program.......you will be going DOOR to DOOR asking people for money up front for a product that THEY DON'T RECEIVE!!!ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
In this day and age there are better ways to make money over your summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
