I spent 8 months toiling in the ranks of Marketing Endeavors and its offshoots. I completely bought the whole spiel of the interviews because I was looking for some way to earn a great life for myself. After being "Fear of Loss"-ed in my final interview, I was excited to have the opportunity.
After the second interview, I told them I would start in 2 weeks- I needed to give notice to my other employer as well as move to Atlanta from Chattanooga where I'd been living. Once I got settled, I called them to see what time I should be there in the morning.... and they knew nothing about me. I was a bit suspect at that point, but still excited and freshly moved, so I let it slide. Once I got there, I discovered that the person I'd interviewed with (who should have been my "leader") "wasn't in the business anymore." Hmmm......
I spent 8 months doing everything they otld me I ought to do. I worked the long days without complaint. I "talked to other leaders and managers," I took and led roadtrips, I recruited, interviewed, trained, everything.... but couldn't brainwash anyone to the extent that I was brainwashed, and therefore couldn't make or keep a team.
I know pro-dsmaxers will say that I chose to do these things, that nobody had to talk me into them, but anyone with an ounce of ambition thrown into the exceedingly positive (albeit falsely positive) atomsphere of this organization would do the same. They don't "tell" you how to think, but they sure do quickly lead you away from thinking outside their box.
Never voice a negativity, never express doubt. Never make any money, either... 8 months later I had to quit because I no longer had any way to pay for my apartment, my car, or even groceries. I've lost everything I had in the aftermath of Marketing Endeavors and Dynamic Marketing Concepts, and I lost it after trying so hard to be successful that I ignored the problems until it was too late.
I applaud all the people who make it through this "management training program." Obviously it takes a ruthlessness that I don't want to have and won't ever have, along with a certain ability to disregard warning signs of dirty dealings. In the meantime, we average joe's emerge from diligently chasing this dream in financial and emotional ruin, with no marketable skills to use later, and nothing to show for our work but a bad taste in our mouth.
I wish I could call every person I ever hired and trained and say that I'm sorry I misled them, but it was what they'd done to me too and I just wanted the opportunity to be successful. They offer the opportunity, yes, but the expense of taking it is way more than they tell you. People start for the promise, stay for the friends they make, and quit because of the truth.
I'm curious about whether a class-action suit could be filed for deceptive recruitment techniques.....

Hello Mandi,
I am interested in Dynamic Marketing for a job. Is this the same dynamic marketing in the Dunwoody area or is it located downtown? I just want to verify that you are talking about the same company that I interviewed with. Please email me
Thank you

Hindsight being 20/20, I still think that at the time they should have been more up front about people's actual chances of getting through

Eight months after writing this originally, I wanted to come back and say a few more things that are much more visible in retrospect, having recovered from the predicament staying too long in this company put me in.
Originally, I was really angry at everything that I endured personally as a result of choosing to take a stab at this business. Hindsight being 20/20, I still think that at the time they should have been more up front about people's actual chances of getting through the field and into management- it would have influenced my decision for when to leave quite a bit. Truthfully, though, I was treated well by this company and I think that the misleading that people talk about is just the result of people's excitement at the opportunity- I never thought that they INTENDED to deceive people. My leader and later manager Adam really tried to make the field as easy for us as he could, and he did a good job supporting us in any way he could. I think that the overall recruitment process (for Dynamic Marketing Concepts) has changed a bit, and I think my advice to anyone looking at this company would be just to keep a level head and stay grounded in reality because you're going to have a lot of "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" thrown at you. You will work your butt off IF you make it, but IF you make it and you can DO it, you're one of only 10% of people, and you should be proud of yourself.
