Prestige Management cold called me and offered to sell me 400 scrubbed leads of highly qualified pre-retirees in my area who had 401k rollovers of at least $300k. Seemed like a pretty good opportunity so I purchased the list for $300.
A few days later, another representative from the company (Matt Soldner) called me to ask how the calling was going- I honestly did not even have a chance yet to scrub the names on my companies internal DNC. He then offered the calling/ appointment setting services of their sister company, Interactive Strategies. He Guaranteed a minimum 5% appointment setting (20 appointments from my 400 list). He also mentioned in his follow up email on the subject that it takes 1-2 months for the call center to complete this assignemnt. I signed up, forked over the $1,000 and started to scrub the names so that he could get them to his call center. Then the trouble began.
Half of the 400 names were on the DNC. I was left with 200 callable prospect and contacted Matt to assist with replacements. I left 4 voicemails and sent 5 emails. No response whatsoever. After two months of zero response I contacted my CC company to dispute the charges and they actually reversed the $1,000. That was when I finally received a response from Prestige/Interactive. They contacted my CC company to say that they didnt have the time to complete their promised services, pleaded for more time, and my CC company felt forced to oblige. So, the $1,000 went back as a charge to me.
Since they had my $1,000 I felt that I needed to see this through to try and get some type of return on my investment. They finally did send me 400 replacment leads, again half were on the DNC, but I now had 400 names to send to their call center. They started calling on July 18th, 2013 and since that time (it is now Nov. 14th, 2013) I have received 2 out of my guaranteed 20 leads/appointments. Both of those two "appointments" were completely bogus and when I called these prospects they had no interest in chatting and were not qualified.
I have asked for a refund, which again they Guarantee. I asked Matt Soldner to refund the $1,000 or even to prorate the two bogus leads and give me back $900 but he refused. I have not received an appointment since 8/1/2013, even though they email me weekly to say that they are calling on my behalf. I think that my next step is filing a complaint with the BBB.
pray that GOD will have mercy on Mathew E. Aylwardssoul. This man will have to face God at some point and account for his fraudulent company. THE ONLY THING MATT AND HIS TEAM ARE SELLING IS FLAT OUT LIES!!!!!!!
At first the company was ONLY focusing on a one time sell of fake lead information to insurance agents and financial reps. ONE TIME DEAL, #ONESHOT as the top fraud salesman Johnathon Cash would say (yes his name is johnny cash and he uses that to sell more BS to customers)
BUT that wasnt good enough, Now the company has started PRESTIGE PRO PLUS or PPP. this locks you in for and ENTIRE year of B***S*** LEADS AND B***S*** INFORMATION
Having your credit card on file with them is like scheduled monthly movie dates with the DEVIL!!!!!
ANOTHER TOP LOSER SALESmen is the owners sister husband whos name HAPPENS to be Matt as well. HE IS SUCH A SUCCESSFUL FRAUD, he has the audacity to TRAVEL with his shenanigans all across the country to add as many hard working fools to his list.
Complaint after complaint after complaint is all this company gets. Every month there are at least three new hires and he runs and add on CRAIGLIST YEAR ROUND to try to keep people employed with him.
He has morning YELL SESSIONS (MEETINGS) EVERY MORNING to tell you how bad you are doing at selling his B***S*** LEADS.
Its sad because MATT does have a few LOYAL FOOLS who have stuck by him while he drinks,, (Alcohol) the company into the ground. But he treats them like garbage. They have accepted his treatment soo long, they now feel stuck.
DO NOT BUY LEADS FROM PRESTIGE MANAGEMENT. DO NOT WORK FOR MATT AYLWARD.
I LEARNED MY LESSON
I was employed with Prestige Management from September 8th through September 15th and at the end of my shift on that Monday I decided not to come back. It simply was not a good fit for me. When I was hired on it was for a 40 hr work week at $400 a week plus commissions and bonuses. On day one of training we were required to sign an agreement stating if we quit or get fired during the first 2 weeks that we would only receive $8.50 an hr via a 1099 from plus we were not allowed to pick it up and that it would only be mailed. The pay period for my employment was from the 8th through the 19th of September with a total of 48hrs. and we were told our first check would be on Friday September 26th. After several attempts via e-mail directly to the owner Matt Alyward I have been completely ignored and still no pay check. I should have known there were going to be several issues and not the golden opportunity this company was made to look like. In the first few days I saw the owner downgrade and curse people out which I discovered this was a daily thing for this company. In addition a shortened lunch and no afternnon break was punishment for no sales and a a daily chewing out session after lunch. I wish I had looked into this company further before I started.
There are several reasons this company has the largest turn-over I have ever seen. Apparently its common practice not to pay employees that decide to quit or get fired. With that being said I have sent more emails regarding this matter because I should have received my pay for a total of 48hrs by Tuesday September 30th at the latest. I choose not to call him directly because I refuse to be talked to the way he does to people. Please stay away from this company people, I could go into alot more detail of the negative daily actions of this place but I won't. I hope this can be resolved but I am doubtful that it will without legal intervention due to the ongoing complaints similiar to mine.
