Sharper Advertising Reviews

  • Jul 22, 2014

I too like user 'concerned for the little guy' also interviewd with Sharper Advertising, Innovate Industries, or whatever they may be calling themselves next week.

Upon entering the 'barely put together' office, I saw there were perhaps another 7 people all applying for various positions: Public Relations, Junior Marketers, and other job positions. However, they were really only hiring for door-to-door sales.

The gentleman I interviewed with: Nick Hooge, spent the majority of his time talking about himself and his outrageous rise to become president of his own company in UNDER A YEAR! He tried to reassure me that even though I was starting out in sales, I too could own my own business.

For those that don't know how this multi-level marketing scheme works, I'll explain it to you:

1.) The company advertises for positions for many spots: marketing, sales, manangement, public relations, human resources, etc....

2.) When you apply, you will get a phone call AND an email stating that they want to talk to you. Ususally this happens within 24 hours of applying.

3.) You will get a phone interview, and some lady will ask you some vague questions about your resume'. Don't worry, they are sooo desparate to get people to come in. The phone interview is just a step they take to try and legitimize themselves.

4.) You will be told that you have what they're looking for, and that the owner will want to speak with you.

5.) you will get an email tellilng you what time to be at the interview, and to 'dress professional'. -Like anyone that is going on an interview needs to be reminded how to dress. They just say this because they want you to ride along with one of their stooges, and perhaps get you into the field immediately.

6.) you will be asked to go door-to-door to sell Verizon FiOs services. What will happen is that you will make very little commission, as the bulk of your profits will go to the assistsant manager, and then a bulk of his profits will go to the 'owner'. This Jamoke more than likely then has to kick some money up to the affiliates...in this case I would bet it's smart circle, one of the biggest multi-level marketers around. the only way these guys make any moeny is to try and get more sales people, more asst. managers, and then promote them to office manager, so the owner an then go and open a new office somewhere else and repeat the process.

When you interview with these guys, ask them what their benefits are like, do they reimburse for mileage, and ask them flat out if they are a member of smart circle. They will try again to tell you how much money you can make, and that you 'shouldn't believe everyting you read on the internet.'

I hope this report saves some people from wasthing their time with these guys. Do a search on ripoff report for 'smart circle.' you will see this same process described over and over at different 'marketing and advertising' firms across the country.
