Company is a start-up in the Cincinnati area- supposedly very solid in Louisville, KY. They promise that you can earn 55k a year as a Factory Representative using their sales program and the provided "Qualified" sales leads.

- Leads that were given were for people who either had no income or could not qualify for financing. Also, they send you on calls that were not confirmed- wasting your time and gas.

- Company only reimburses you for gas if you make a sale. They also will "undercut" you to make a deal - which affects your commission.

- Takes 1 week for their training program which is UNPAID - of course on the promise that you will bring in $1000 a week after the training is complete.

- General Manager / Owner of this outfit has more 'lines' than an encyclopedia to convince you that this is a great opportunity.

- GM also treats the Reps like grunts in basic training when they can not close a sale - again, due to unqualified leads.

Just a warning to others not to get ripped off- in the income "hole" of over $500 in gas and required "supplies" you must purchase yourself in order to become a "Factory Representative"

Have not yet received the commission made on the deals that were closed on, said they will mail it.

Although the company issued me a week unpaid vacation I disagree with this person. You can earn a lot of money at this.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Gutter Magician Rebuttal

AUTHOR: Bill Oleary - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, July 08, 2008

We are a start-up in Cincinnati. We opened a new dealership with Gutter magician which is located in Louisville, KY. We are very proud of what we have done in such a short time. We have gone from $0 sales to over $100,000 in 2 months. We went from 0 employees to 21 employees and families that we now support.

Our biggest and most valuable asset of our firm is our PEOPLE. The model we use has been very successful.

Let me be clear in response to this ex-employees comments;
-We do not charge any of our employees for any material. Please provide any evidence that you did in fact pay for materials.
-We do not "undercut" anyone. If you sell something for less than yes that will effect a commision.
-All Sales commissions have been paid I personally do the payroll for the firm and can account for every paycheck as we use Paychex for our payroll so please contact me directly if that is true that you did not receive a check.
-Yes this is a sales position. The more you sell the more you will make. Our highest paid employees in our firm are our Factory Representatives.
-We work hard to find the leads, set up and confirm every appointment. All that is expected of our Factory Representatives is to show up on time and provide a demonstration.

To all that are reading this I suspect who this ex-employee is. Although we did not have a "Lee" that worked for us. We have only had one person leave in our short time in business. That person was with us for two weeks and only sold once. That commission check was paid and I can confirm that in documentation.

Another note to take into consideration.
I also received from the state of Ohio, an unemployment claim for this person! Yes! He worked for 2 weeks for us and now filing for unemployment? Yes, I can show documentation of that as well.

Bottom line , this is not an easy job neither is starting a business from nothing but this is America and thats what makes our country great. I hope this person's comments do not effect or should not effect your opinion of Gutter Magician.
Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Bill O'Leary
President
