Found these stories on a website, and thought I'd share in case they
go away. Most are good reads.

I would like to say a few things about the your website that I was
forwarded today. First things first is that I left Pacesetter because
of the long hours and all the traveling that I had to do. It was on
my own accord and was not fired as Gerry Anderson put it. I showed up
to the office with samples in hand the last week in March because I
could not go out and justify the price of products they were wanting
us to sell. There were a few different people that stated paperwork
and false letters being put into personal files.

Some of the people that went to training in Omaha were told how much
the products cost to manufacture, it was pretty absurd. They are a
huge MLM organization which has called me to try to get me to return
under new management. We were all sent to training to learn the
Pacesetter story and the 10 steps to selling Pacesetter products which
had to be followed. The main on was stalling techniques (talking about
stuff in your home for conversation, not looking over your goods).
After all the running around trying to resolve your complaints and
other similar complaints it was not worth trying to stay around and
sell something you don't believe in.

I just wanted to say that I was doing my job at Pacesetter and that
was it, the price breakdown on the extra blinds was dropped as low as
I could go. We only had set amounts of margin in products and every
sales rep has all the paperwork in his book to go off of. A lot of the
facts are never shared with there employees. They try to motivate you
to sell with there 21 day sales and feed a bunch of mistruths and
broken promises.

This email is to try to put some light on the subject and I will be
willing to write a letter for the website stating there tactics. I
personally am shameful and wish that I would have had a little
knowledge about Pacesetter before I hired on. It would have saved
myself and others great heartache.

Their are some satisfied customers out there. There are also a lot of
dissatisfied customers like you also.

Thank you for the time and I am going to ask that me last name be
taken off of the website.
