Total Merchant Services And Ameribanc National This company is totally a ripoff. What they do is hire the masses of sales reps to run the previous BAD set appts and close what they can. They advertise "great support and training" which is a lie. T Bloomingdale, Illinois

We are not aware of any commissions due that have not been paid, as a professional and ethical commitment, we feel it is urgently important that we always pay all commission due to an Independent Merchant Consultant. Please simply contact the manager or trainer or owner via email and let us know any/all commissions/bonuses earned and not paid and we will take care of that right away.

This era of the blogosphere and even this site make it difficult to maintain a "perfect" perception out in the world wide web, but we obviously do strive to do what we can. AmeriBanc has an A rating with the BBB, which is not easy to do. This site has an F rating with the BBB. This site has a policy of never removing a complaint even if it is determined to be unfounded.... unfortunately.

I would request this site to remove completely or at least edit out the accusations that our company is comprised of horrible people without morals. We do work so diligently to give candidates realistic expectations, great support and good assistance. The old adage that you "can't please everyone" I suppose is true but it's unforturnate that we must constantly defend against the extreme "fringe" of the sales world who accuse us of poor practices. There are so many good employees and managers that just don't deserve to be called names and referred to so poorly.

Each prospect is filtered before selection then further filtered before contacting to set up a sales appointment, then called, then confirmed to be the owner, have interest and agree to a time to see our consultants. We average a 85-90% "show-rate" meaning the owners are there and confirm to be the owners and participate in either a partial(short) presentation or a full presentation. We also average a closure rate of 25% of all appts set with a range of 10% to 75% per rep.

We provide Free Placement of equipment to our merchants so we simply cannot afford to "not care" about the customers as that would result in prohibitive costs. Additionally we could not afford to pay for a Call Center to set appointments that didn't result in a good percentage of interested prospects since we do not charge the sales representatives for that support as well. Additionally, we have support staff to process applications and do merchant training and ongoing support while the sales representative only has to "sell" new accounts. Not that selling is trivial, but we work hard to keep great salespeople freed up to focus on just selling, networking and developing their skills and ultimately, if they wish, to start their own agent relationship resulting in lifetime residuals.

I regret that this person feels that she or you "don't learn nothing" "training was boring" and that we "don't care" and are "horrible". Please check us out and apply your own critical thinking skills to our opportunity. Yes, it is a challenging job. Yes, it is not for just anyone. But the opportunity is terrific if you are a skilled sales person and have internal drive as well as being open to ongoing coaching and training. We will try extra hard not to bore you... :)

Again, I do not know who posted this, but if they read this, please let us know if there are any commissions/bonuses earned that were not paid - we never want that to happen regardless of your opinion and the way you chose to express it.
