Its a shame that our freedom of speech is so often abused and misused for personal vendetta.
I have worked for marketing companies who represented MX energy. It is certainly not fair to connect MX energy with whatever experiences employees might have had with a particular marketing company. I actually did very well for myself in the brief six months I represented MX energy as a door to door agent. The experience I gained through learning how to communicate with confidence and persuasion is priceless. I have had a bit of education. In this economy I found myself out of work, and my education didn't really help much when it came to job placement. I was certainly cautious when I interviewed for an opportunity to help people to stabilize and reduce the cost of the gas and electric bills. I never knew that these utility companies who bill us, actually buy they're electricity and gas from wholesale suppliers,cheap as possible, and then they mark up the price as high as is allowed by law....thats just business....so companies like MX( who by the way IS the fastest growing energy supplier in the country)..because of the rate caps coming off...have the ability in a tough economy, with any wise person saving anyway they can....even if its only 5 bucks a month...although through MX I have had customers I have personally signed up saving between 30 and 40 bucks a month....clear to see on the bills....simple....easy....free...and wise. Nothing is perfect, so sometimes a few people may have had the market drastically change, resulting in less savings, and sometimes(though rare) people had to make a more beneficial choice elsewhere. Most of the complaints I heard were from folks who thought they knew everything, misunderstood, or were just plain confused about deregulation and what the benefits are. NO magic wand, no tricks....just save money when you can....especially in todays economy!
I have had the privilege to work side by side with the young men and women who have a determination for achieving financial security. We all felt good about what we do for a living....offering opportunity in a time when people are finding it ever increasingly difficult to find gainful employment. This type of occupation is not for the faint hearted. We go out into the world knocking door to door every day come rain come shine...we are met with smiles and frowns, pleasant people and plain nasty folk too...we learn to strive for personal excellence....its up to ME how much money I make...by how determined I am. This is the American Dream!!
I am convinced, after reading this negative, erroneous report...that this person is not suited for this type of business. I have met highly educated professionals who even though they don't have a job, opportunity, or income...they put the nose in the air to "Door to Door"....to smart to make money....prefer some cushy "job"...while young hungry guys and girls who may not have even finished High school are bringing in 1,000 or 2,000 every week...and they are willing to do what it takes to be a champion....others still whine and complain...."its not fair"...."the leads are weak"...."I'm cold"...."the territory has already been worked".....boo-hoo
You have choices....two people will be given the same opportunity.....one will become very successful....while the other snivels,whines,complains, and spends they're valuable time writing slanderous articles on web sites like rip off report....was it the company?was it the opportunity? NO...its the person! Be determined,POSITIVE, and be good students....I love door to door!
Hopefully the person who wrote this has found a place where they can be of value and use whatever they're particular set of skills are.....perhaps a writer for the inquirer(unfortunately...people believe that stuff too) "It was on the internet....it must be true!"
Good luck with that
