We are writing this post both for potential companies that might deal with Bubba Page and Launch Leads or Quotadeck and for employees who may be looking at working there.
Bubba Page from Quotadeck.com is really Brandt Page. It appears that he may be trying to avoid bad press related to his name Brandt Page and now is trying to use the name Bubba Page instead.
The post below was written by someone else, but a number of us have also had a bad experience with Bubba Brandt Page and Launch Leads and felt that we should share also.

Though we don't echo all of what's in the article written below, we can give our experience regarding a few of the items.
It did seem that most customers that found their way to Launch Leads left very frustrated after only about 3 or 4 months if they made it that far. We have seen some very angry customers, including rumors of law suits. We suggest that you investigate for yourself.

Yes, we did feel like he is an armchair business owner. He wasn't around much.
For future employees, this is outbound cold calling, trying to get people to set an appointment for other companies. There is a lot of turnover. there was a lot of frustration with pay and promises and bonuses etc and it sounds like others have had similar issues. We did hear of Bubba letting employees go but then asking them if they would send in a letter saying that they quit so he wouldn't have to pay unemployment as shared below.

And yes, he did tell us that Launch Leads was "under water" and so "we can't do bonuses etc etc etc . .. ". so we're not sure why he post himself online as a startup entrepreneur, he hasn't seemed to have any startup success yet, though he is a good speaker and very convincing to listen to. very energetic. a great sales guy for sure. but he is still young though, in his 20s I think.

And lastly, yes, we did see what we all thought was inappropriate behavior regarding how employees were treated. we'll leave it at that. there were a lot of complaints.

We don't know if Launchleads is still in business or if Quotadeck is legitimate, but we professionally suggest that you proceed with caution regarding working with Brandt Page or Bubba Page and LaunchLeads or Quotadeck and are careful about giving them any of your information.  
Good luck.

Here is one link to another article written about him under his real name.
http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/launch-leads-brandt-page/taylorsville-utah-84123/launch-leads-brandt-page-don-markland-tom-quinn-cheap-crooked-piss-poor-management-1107750

Launch Leads was founded close to 5 years ago by Brandt Page. When you first walk in as a new employee you are promised a raise after 90 days and if you perform well you will get rewarded($). I have now worked for Launch over 90 days and was the top performer for a number of weeks. Not only did I not recieve a raise I was never rewarded for any of my great success for the company.

When myself and other employees complained about the raises and the lack of "bonus" strucker to be put in place as promised; what did management do? They told the employees to be patient because the company was "under-water". Later that week they brought on a new manager to help with "training" and "make Launch better". Then they started letting people go for "causing a riot" about the raises that ever happened.

Little does Launch know, an employee came acrossed this new managers pay stub and he was making upwards $60,000 a year.
..... If Launch is too underwater to not give the top performers there promised raises, how on earth can you hire a new manager? Not only has this new manager not done a thing for training (or anything for that matter) he is very unperfessional and uses words like "gay, retarted, and b***h, then tells the girls to get back in the kitchen". But he has nothing to worry about because he is best friends with another manger that praises him to the CEO.
If you get on Launches Web-Site www.Launchleads.com you will see a little sign that reads "Pay By Preformance". That is the biggest lie! The only one that is getting paid is Brandt aka the arm chair CEO. The CEO that thinks owning a company means going out of town on trips for vacation and playing the "good guy" when employees are mad. No Brandt you ARE the bad guy, like it or not YOU are the one ripping people off. Firing employees less then a week before Christmas with no warning, that fits the bill of a great guy, right?

Speaking about our "oh so wonderful" CEO.. Wait.. We have a CEO many ask? Oh yes, with the total of 10 employees that work for Launch our CEO is never "needed" in the office.. Don't worry little people, he only listens to the two horrible managers (if you want to call them managers) and tells them to do whatever they think is best. The managers, think it is okay to threaten to fire us on a daily bases, tells the employee's personal information about other employees, and then fires employee's in front of the whole staff. This is one of the most hostle work enviorments I have ever worked in.

My favorite thing about working for Launch was the day Brandt face timed the staff while he was in Florida just chilling in the sun with a ball cap. He was trying to get us motivated and to keep up the good work on a slow Monday. I don't know about you, but someone skyping me at work while they're soaking up the sun on vacation is the best way to "pump me up" at job I hate going to everyday! Thanks Brandt!

Okay, I'll cut to the chase. This company is horrible to work for and is very crooked. When they let you go they try to convince you that "you're leaving" not that they're letting you go. Brandt will find everyway he can to not pay unemployment. They have had close to 300 employees in the last 4 years.. AND they refuse to hire with in. Every 3 months they have almost a whole new staff (including managment in some cases) because so many people quit, get fired/layed off, or stop showing up. They keep on average 6 people employeed at a time and thats guessing high.

In other words, pick a new comapny. The companies who hire Launch for the "B2B" hardly ever get out of the "pilot phase" which in other words is a "trial" because Launch either doesn't meet the expected quota or the company catches wind of the unprofessionalizm.

Just last week and employee recieved an email from Brandt asking to do some work off the clock to help better the company... ARE YOU KIDDING!!? I wouldn't even do it ON THE CLOCK at this point. Long story short, idiots shouldn't be trying to run a company. Thats exactly whats happening. Don't do business with them whats so ever, even if its painting the walls because you'll get ripped off some how, trust me.

AUTHOR: Brandt Page, Bubba Page - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, April 29, 2015

At http://LaunchLeads.com,  we have an A+ rating on BBB - look here: http://www.bbb.org/utah/business-reviews/sales-lead-generation/launch-leads-in-salt-lake-city-ut-22338978/ 

LaunchLeads is ranked by Forbes as the top All-American Appointment Setting company - here is the link to the article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrymyler/2013/03/14/dont-you-just-love-appointment-setting/ 

As a CEO and Founder it makes me extremely sad to hear that someone that my team hired, felt like they had to write a report like they did, instead of coming to talk to us personally about any concerns or thoughts they had. 

Please do not take one angry employee who was upset that we had to fire, as the reputation of the company, find out for yourself.

Just a few clarifications: I am 31, (not in my twenties). We have not hired 300 people before. Launch Leads was founded in Jan 2009, which is more than 6 years ago.

I, Brandt Page or Bubba Page - which is my nickname I have had since I was a child... have more than 30 linkedin recommendations from people that I have hired, clients, partners, associates, etc. You name it. Please feel free to connect with me on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bubbapage

We have a fantastic culture that resonates with fun, creative, energetic, positive people. For some, it is not the right fit, and we pride ourselves in finding great long term talent.

We have employees that we can have you talk to personally to get their take of what their experience has been. Just look at our facebook company page (https://www.facebook.com/LaunchLeads

Please do not take an angry employee, who was upset when we had to terminate their employement, as the reputation of the company, find out for yourself.

We have long standing customers that we are happy to share as references that you can talk to directly and get their direct feedback about their experience with myself, any of my managers and LaunchLeads itself. You can also see here case studies from customers: http://www.launchleads.com/company/company-what-we-do/services-overview/

LaunchLeads is considerate of the local business community and mentors other businesses - here: http://www.utahtechx.com/news/press-releases/launch-leads-tech-x-mentor-utah-businesses-to-boost-sales/

I hope a few of these proof points can help you in your decision making as you either choose to come and work for us at LaunchLeads or come on as a client. Again, we would be happy to talk over the phone and talk you through any questions you may have. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to helping you with anything I can.
