I purchased an exclusive SURE STEP territory distributorship from Interlake Chemicals Ltd. based on their great marketing materials and a couple of references.
It turned out the references were a supposed race car driver they sponser who said he made sales calls for 2-4 hours a day 3 or 4 days a week and will easily earn over $100, 000 a year. The other reference turned out to be my trainer! What a shock.
Even though the training manual says to wear a respirator in confined areas this guy said. it was not necessary and that he did not even wear gloves. After selling my only job in the past 10 months I performed the non slip chemical treatment on 140 bathtubs in a hotel. After the job was complete I became very ill and my hands were stained blue and all of the skin died and peeled off. Of course this was due to not using a respirator which was not included in my everything you need to perform the treatments new distributor shipment and I did not wear the gloves which were included.
Since then I have made hundreds of sales calls and have applied sample treatments to many bathtubs and kitchen floors and NOBODY else has ordered. I have even gone as far as cutting their suggested prices in half!
Instead of making a good income in the last 10 months I have made $3, 700 while spending well over that in making the sales calls. My home is in foreclosure and I am desperately seeking a job.
