Tom James Company reviews

As a company that really strives to build and develop people, we're sorry to hear you had a negative experience. If there are any situations that you would like to discuss privately in more detail, we are always open to talking—just email careerdivision@tomjames.com. We have recently implemented a new pay plan that has been very well-received, to address concerns such as yours. We want you to know that Tom James values your review and takes all comments into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective! We're so glad your time here help you develop skills and habits that will help you in your life and career, although we wish you were still here using them to help us build! Our opportunity, which is more entrepreneurial in nature than most, does have its share of hard work and long hours at certain times and seasons, especially when starting out. It's great that you were able to persevere and build your business up to the level of achieving our trips. There are just a couple of things we'd like to point out from a factual standpoint just for a balanced understanding on a few topics: 1. We don't force anyone into leadership, period. Of our 450 person sales force, approximately 200 are in some form of leadership and 250 are not. While our leadership opportunity is a great career path, it is not for everyone. Our desire is for each Sales Professional to take from the overall opportunity the parts that resonate with them and build in that direction. Those that DO pursue leadership are not required to give up clients or referrals. Giving referrals to new partners to help them start out was part of our training culture up until 2020, but our more recent investment in a lead development strategy leveraging a sales engagement platform and a few premium prospecting tools has allowed us to support new partners' lead generation needs without leaders providing their referrals. 2. Our average 1st year income is $52,000. Average 2nd year income is $65,000. Average 3rd year is $78,000. What is missing from the above review is sales bonuses for exceeding quota and base pay support through our training assistance pay program for those who struggle a little more out of the gates. Also, leadership pay and other forms of income for 2nd and 3rd year partners as they develop their careers beyond sales are missing from above. From a pure commissions standpoint, the numbers are accurate, but in terms of actual incomes, what was posted is not the actual reality. Outside of those couple of clarifiers, again, we're thankful for the review and wish you all the best in your next endeavor!
