Long Hours, Little Pay, Sam's Club Sales - Anonymous employee Titanium Event Management Employee Review

I learned more about myself and marketing with Titanium than I did in 4 years of college. This company truly changed the way I look at business and success. You'll not only learn the fundamentals of sales, but also effective communication, money management, and leadership. I will carry the lessons and values I learned from this team every where I go! Awesome company to work for whether you're looking for a career or some sales experience.

It's definitely hard work but there's no lack in support and resources for help. If you can put your head down and work hard for a few months, you'll get rewarded in a huge way!

It seems they're telling the truth up front about one thing at least - if you're totally career driven and willing to do what it takes, they will push you hard and get you into a management position where you can make a lot of money and even run your own office.

My biggest problem with the company is that their entire business philosophy is basically built around exploiting customers. Everything is driven by sales, and the way to earn sales is hammered in by dictated training systems. A few examples of things I had to memorize and teach back: 1. "We must have blind faith in the systems" 2. Greed is the "G" in FUGI, one of the core training systems. We are to exploit people's greed by convincing them to want more than what everyone else has. 3. On a related note, "F" stands for "Fear of Loss" - that is, getting the customer convinced that if they pass up our deals, they'll lose them, so they have to buy today. 4. They teach us to pressure people past their initial "no," so as to insist that they come over to our booth and see what we're selling. Sales for us revolve around what's called "impulse," essentially getting customers to buy impulsively. We are encouraged not to have any pauses in our pitch to let them decide they don't want the product. On one occasion after Christmas, I was told that if people say they don't have money due to holiday shopping, I'm not getting them "impulsed" enough - as if I should want to get broke people buying what they can't afford!
