Corporate Advocacy Program™
Stay away from SMC or Smart Living Company (whatever they are calling themselves these days). I am currently $40,000 in debt because of these people. They have no conscience! Please listen to people who have been there. Do not talk to these people. I am currently selling my home to pay off my credit card debt. I will probably loose $20,000 in this market but at least I can pay off my debt. After realtor fees and moving costs I will be between $70,000 and $80,000 poorer than I was a year ago. Listen to those who have learned.

I Was A Member Of "SMC"
AUTHOR: CINNAMON - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 23, 2012
I was a member of SMC but allowed my membership to lapse. Not because I found it to be a terrible or horrible company but mostly I couldn't afford the membership anymore. The membership gradually went up to about $50.00 per year, as of last year.
To be completely honest I did little or nothing with my membership. I believe the business would have worked for me if I had put more of an effort into it. Nothing from nothing left me with nothing. But I don't ever recall the company asking or suggesting to me to go into debt to get my business going.
What I recall, it was suggested that as a beginner one might want to start slow. Use the catalogs to get orders. Or sell your items at a flea market or swap meet. There were other avenues such as: mail order, sub-wholesaling, fundraising, the internet, parties, operating a gift shop, and more.
I think there were about ten to twelve suggested ways to market your business when I was with "SMC". They talked about the least expensive ways to start and the most expensive. The catalogs being dirt cheap was a low cost way to start, unless thousands of them were purchased at a time.
Among the most expensive was opening up a gift shop. A pretty big budget would be needed for that sort of venture. So I just can't see how anyone can go $40,000 in debt unless that person was trying to start big from the beginning.
My biggest gripe with "SMC" was their customer service. Those people were rude and acted as if they were doing me a favor. The way I saw it I was doing them a favor. I was a member and I was in a position to help or hurt their reputation.
If I decide to go back with "SMC" or "Smart Living Company" as they are called now, I will definitely not deal with any bad mouth customer service representatives. I will go directly to the daughter of the founder of the company and address any situations I have with her.
So to reiterate, one has to use good sense and start from where it makes sense. It doesn't make sense to go into thousands of dollars in debt, if it isn't in the budget. No matter what it seems that someone else is doing. That's their budget. Stay inside of your budget.
