I bought the DS Max story hook, line and sinker when I was 20. At the time I was delivering pizzas, so a job in sales seemed like a step in the right direction. I worked on the AT&T compain for about 6 months, credit cards, etc...
I moved across the country to help start an office and ultimately failed like many do. I lost money and my dog in the ordeal and was very bummed when finished after a year of hard labor. Below are the Pros and Cons for anyone who wishes to work for this organization:
Pros:
The sales tactics work. When you actually have a product that people want, it makes moving it rediculously easy. No job that I have worked for since DS Max has given any guidance on how to create the impulse factors and close a deal. Whether you wind up working in sales or something else the skills can be invaluble when negotiating.
Cons:
Most of the stuff that you are selling is Junk.
You are NOT an employee. You are technically an independent contractor although you are treated like an employee.
There is Zero guidance on how to actually run a business, just how to sell.
You WILL be lied to. Accept everyting said with a grain of salt.
