I worked for Horizon Marketing Ltd which distributes merchandise for Innovage. I'd have to sell over $400 a day going door to door just to break the $100 mark. At my interview i didn't even get to ask questions on how the business worked. I thought I was going to recieve an adminstrative position. They have this system that works behind the scenes in the office which creates a special atmosphere to lure people into the business.
They would say that you could get into management within a few months, and then later open up your own office elsewhere and become financially independant. I never recieved a pay stub, was paid cash everyday and believe me for the hours and distances I travelled, I'd barely break even by the end of the day. some weeks, I'd put a 1000 kms on my vehicle. Here is some interesting info I have found on the internet from a former DSmax rep who pretty did some intense whistle blowing.
By doing more research over the net I have found out that the company I worked for did some serious GST tax fraud, adding 14% to their merchandise and pocketing the tax money. THats why they left lethbridge alberta and came here to BC.
