Tom James Company reviews

It is a cult of grinning idiots. There is no work-life balance. It is work-work-work. They will tell you it is your choice then give you flack if you do not "make the personal sacrifices necessary to be a winner." This was the first, last, and only strait commission gig I ever worked. If you think you're worth anything go get a real job that pays you what you're worth. Do not settle for the nonsense that goes on here.

Work life balance: even the tenured guys that have been there a while and making a lot of money. You will always be grinding and exhausted. This is as direct sales as you can get: cold calls, knocking on doors, walking into business's, stopping people at gas stations, on the streets, anything you can do to get a name and phone number. That's not necessarily a con but be more up front about it. They make training sound awesome because you get some referrals from other peoples clients, but honestly you wont build a book off of it or really get any traction. Most of those clients have been asked by every other rep thats trained there. This product is nice, and very well made but people are not spending this kind of money every day for the product. There are people that do, but all the tenured sales reps have hit every firm, business, and good prospect already. You call on people that's been called on for years. Markets tend to be over saturated with reps. When only 20-25% of an office (including sales managers) are hitting quota it's not a problem with sales reps... I've read several reviews and sadly agree, if you quit you will be told that you won't be successful elsewhere. There is a "kool-aid" mentality that you can only be successful and happy at Tom James
