J.T. Advertising ripoff Shady Business Tactics Doral Florida

I worked for J.T. Advertising when they were located in Orlando off Hanging Moss Road as well.

The business model and services provided to their clients are not scams. As was previously mentioned, the only start-up costs are your time and in some cases dignity.

You will not get an honest answer from anyone involved in the company about what/how/why they conduct their business.

They take advantage of the naivety of young, sometimes desperate people looking to join the working world with the now-classic interviews, business deals, management opportunities, etc. (the one that always got me was never explaining why they answer the phone simply as "marketing", the first time or two i figured it was just one unprofessional employee, I still wonder if it was for some legal purpose or just to remain vague about the company.)

After I left J.T. Advertising, I learned that they falsely reported the earnings of an "employee" to the IRS (by tens of thousands of dollars). "Employee" because everyone who works there is actually an independent contractor.

A good portion of the people that I worked with in Orlando have spread throughout the country and opened their own identical businesses. There are reports on this website and others about more than a few of them.

They would probably receive less complaints/consumer reports if they shifted their target "employee" demographic and were less prone to giving people the run-around.

The best thing I took from the experience was to do more thorough research on future prospective employers.

I'de be interested to hear why J.T. Advertising no longer has an office in Orlando.

I'll start by saying that I used to work at J.T. Advertising in Orlando, FL back in the summer of 2003 for about 2.5 months. They were located at Hanging Moss Rd near to U. of Central FL. I started because I was looking for full time work and I found them online in the Orlando Sentinel job listings. Being a door-to-door salesman was certainly not the easiest job I've ever done but I do not regret it for the experience.

J.T. Advertising is a private company which is under the umbrella of Smart Circle International smartcircleinternational. formerly known as Granton Marketing, which is a division of DS Max.

I assure you that this is not a "scam". Were you to work for J.T. Advertising, you would be selling legitimate products, mostly coupons and other discount services, for large companies. When working there I sold coupons for Papa John's Pizza, Tire Kingdom, and other smaller restaurants as well. Sales are mostly done in residential neighborhoods, although smaller businesses can also be visited. You are given the merchandise on consignment and are not penalized for what you do not sell. You keep a fixed amount of money for each piece you sell, depending on the total cost. Generally, it was $9 per $20 piece sold and a daily goal of making $100 per day was pushed strongly by the management.

I would not call this company a scam. I was not required to put out any money out of pocket, in fact in my first week I was guaranteed $50 cash per day. The business is really defined as multi-level marketing, or MLM. Some people refer to them as scams, and certainly some are, but this particular business is not. I won't get into the common complaints of MLMs because they vary widely, but the less scrupulous ones require initial monetary investment and all certainly require large amounts of time investment.

I say it is not a scam because I did not lose anything by working there except my time, and I did make the promised commission off all of my sales. I also believe that the few people who do very well will make good money, however due to the nature of MLM companies, the numbers are quite against you. I have since been working in the field of engineering so I have left the promises of MLM behind. Still, I felt the need to clarify the nature of this business because I do not regret participating for the short time that I did. Selling coupons door-to-door certainly is an interesting experience for a 19 year old. Some people could stand to learn a bit from it, I sure did.

I'm curious as to how you can call this company a scam. The man that interviewed you told you exactly what the company does and is all about. He did not decieve you in any way. I used to work for that company and don't have any complaints what so ever. From what you described, you didn't meet with the owner of the company but rather one of the assistant managers

T.V. commercials are extremely expensive and most individuals do change the channel or TIVO when a commercial is on. All J.T. Advertising does is bridge that gap and drive traffic flow into these companies. Maybe to you, field work or going business to business is a scam to you, but I don't belive all the companies that they do business with would do business with them if it wasn't effective. Go to their website jtadvertising.com and look at some of the testimonials of clients. Something must be going on right. You asked about salary and what not. I know the owner does different things with different individuals. Essentially there might have been a salary involved for you. I don't know that though, that would be up to the owner.

Miami marketing works and Niko group have absolutely no affiliation what so ever with J.T. Advertising. So why even compare. They don't even represent the same companies. You said that J.T. Advertising tries to go business to business and set up deals when in fact they don't set up any deals whatsoever. You're merely going on what some person wrote about another company on rip-off.

It just seems to me, you have no clue what you're talking about. You said in your statement "(see. Miami Marketing Works and Niko Group Inc.'s tactics of avoiding questions on salary and benefits and methods of payment based on commission)."
The tan skinned man as you put it that did your interview didn't avoid any question whatsoever.

The man wasn't rude to you and in fact you thanked him for the opportunity and left. It just doesn't seem right for you to come on here and call that company a scam based on what you read about other companies.

Again I worked there for a long time and can say nothing but great things. I learned a hell of a lot and I wish that there were more people like the owner Jared Tacher in this world. His attitude is one that I have never seen before. Also, thanks to the training I received at J.T. Advertising, my current employer loves the work that I do.
