Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company does historical menus for restaurants. The offer advertising down each side of the menu. The ad space is sold to local business owners. These ads cover the cost of the menu plus a huge profit.
This company hires 1099 employees to sell the ad space by cold calling local business owners. It takes 15 ads to produce a menu.
I sold 22 paid ad spaces on a restaurant. I collected checks on 15 ads up front and another seven contracts where the companies mailed in the checks within a 3 weeek time frame. The company still owes me for $50 on the first 15, $320 on the additional 7, and a $100 bonus for selling over 20. I repeatedly asked to be paid the additional $470 and was told the additional seven ad checks were never sent. I called every one of them and talked to the owners. They all sent in the checks, gave me dates and check numbers. The crooks at The Menu Man now will not talk to me.
I talked to Ted Westy initially and he told me none of the additional seven ever sent a check. He said this happens all the time. I told him and didn't believe him and I would check and get back to him. I can't get past the receptionist but I have left messages telling them I know they are lying and I want paid. They are obviously used to ripping off their sales people.

False Staements

I would like to correct this review. First, notice that there are no names or facts. His name is Tom Dolan
First he said that he collected 22 paid ads, 15 of which he had collected. If 15 were collected then there was no 22 paid ads. It would be 15 paid ads. Kind of a math thing I guess. The $450 for the first 15 ads was paid. He neglects to say that I had money gramed him a $40 draw via Walmart 2 days earlier ( You're welcome Tom....... very unthankful huh ? ). Our contract that he signed states that we pay commission on paid for ads only. If you sign contracts that you are unwilling to honor, who does that make untrustworthy?? Anyone who had ever sold advertising knows that you collect the money up front. Thats why we train sales reps to collect the money. We honor every word of our contracts. Its unfortunate that others seem to not want to and then complain about it. Tom sold the ads the first 2 weeks of January. He quit, he was paid and the complaining started. He lived in his motorhome and stopped contact. When he first started he advised us that most of the time his cell phone had no signal. Then 4 of the seven paid from the end of Febuary thru the first of March, only after I turned them over to amother sales rep to collect. That rep got paid commission per our contract. The other 3 NEVER paid and did not appear on the menu. We pay commissions acording to a signed contract. Tom Dolan agreed to this prior to his start.
