Pros

I have nothing positive to report about this company.

Cons

They stick you in an office for 8 weeks and require you to memorize (word for word) a scripted 25 page long presentation. Management is a joke, however they think they are superior to everyone. They have no customers and no marketing and their office furniture is falling apart, all of which lead me to believe that they are having money problems. The management does not care about its employees at all and are egotistical, arrogant and unprofessional. This is not sales, it's memorization! To top it all off, they put a video camera high up in the corner of your office by the entry door and record you doing your presentation without the customers consent. They also have an intercom system, where they eavesdrop on your presentation with your customer. Again, without the customers knowledge or consent. In summary, in 35 years of sales and sales management I have never seen such a ridiculous sales organization and process. Do not waste your time.

Double Diamond Response

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry you feel this way. Our process, although not exactly what you have described, is one that works. We have many sales representatives at all of our properties who earn six figure incomes. The video taping is for training purposes to help you achieve that goal. This process helps employees improve their presentation skills and allows you to identify your strengths/weaknesses and be aware of things that you may or may not be doing ie body language, etc. In regards to the point you made about marketing, we have entire teams dedicated to our marketing efforts. These teams market and qualify leads so that you don't have to start from ground zero when you begin. This is the main source of tours. Without our Marketing Team there would be very few tours at each property. That is not the case. As far as the furniture is concerned we are in the process of replacing it.
