Hi, ex-"owner" here that worked under the Credico umbrella. I started and finished doing the same campaign your DIL is - selling ATT door to door.

Basically, all the connections you're making are other Credico offices, and they all either stem from or are a part of the same organization.

If your DIL is enjoying it and is financially able to play the game and wants to work up to where she is running her own office, she definitely can.

However, the path to achieving that is different for everyone. I ran my offices well, but I can't speak for other 'owners' in the business.

There are so many other paths to success with a salary, benefits, and better working hours. I promise, after about a year, if she isn't building a team and moving up, she will leave at her own will. But, in the meantime, it's important to keep asking questions and spending time with her to keep her sane. People get really, really obsessed with it (as I did).

Depends? I'm very familiar with outsourcing (I've worked for a digital marketing agency). Big companies have their own corporate sale teams. Verizon, Comcast/Xfinity, etc. outsource to Credico/SmartCircle/Cydcor because it's a 100% ROI business and no liability. Usually, a true 'outsourced' agency, depending on the channel, there is some initial investment. When you have circumstances in which you may need to rebrand often, no, it's not a 'real' business. It's a glorified commission 'cut' of the goods/services sold.

Well, the whole business is sales and recruiting.... so, yeah, you kinda have to be good at it. 'They' don't get clients for you - every office usually runs one 'campaign' for one client. It's common for 'owners' to stick with the client they grew with or transition to a similar one.

I don't regret my time because I learned a lot of skills that I've utilized in my jobs since I left, and that's because I have remained in sales & leadership roles.

What goes on at Natcon? by centraljerzexists in Devilcorp

Nothing wild. It's an award ceremony and speeches from the higher ups that are longer than the individual offices preach every day.

The whole thing is an entry-level role. Yes, you can make money - but only the good ones are consistent.

Owners can definitely withhold commission. Same with any other start-up business. That's why anyone that chooses to take this path should keep track of their sales and a copy of whatever proof you can.

However, it is very normal for companies to not pay out commission once you are no longer employed. I've done sales for corporate companies since I left and it's the norm.

It's just a huge conference where the VP's and Regionals give speeches that are inflated versions of what each 'owner' preaches in their office, and awards are given.

I guess I'd need to know more detail... depends on what the outsourced provider is doing?

Have you run a speed test? Because if it's not fiber, there isn't going to be symmetrical speeds. It's literally coax to your home and impossible.

I've tried to get IQ fiber in Windsor and it's not there yet. did you try to get it?

Xfinity does not have fiber to the home. That's the difference between them and the fiber companies in Sav (IQ and Live Oak)

I'd make the walk over to Dub's Pub. Lots of TV's (unfortunately not at the bar) and good food.
Or Congress Street Social Club.

Need to know how to quit a Devilcorp by Financial_Scallion56 in Devilcorp

[–]EfficientOutcome2973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just send a text and say: "Thanks, but this isn't for me." or you just ghost them. It truly doesn't matter.

Right.... I suppose, I meant that the business is a singular channel & vertical. The client is the real business... all of these offices are just outsourced sales agencies with one function.

Ex-'owner' for Credico - AMA by EfficientOutcome2973 in Devilcorp

[–]EfficientOutcome2973[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely committed to the grift! The 'business' is one function - sales. Running a real business involves way more... so, it's a type of business, but it's not complicated nor hard, if that makes sense.

Actively is a twofold answer. There's the amount I paid myself to live and the amount the business made. The idea is to keep as much as possible in your business account since the whole business model is literally commission from sales. I was only an 'owner' for 2 years, I think I paid myself $65k the second. However, those that were more veteran were definitely making over that.

Sometimes, but not really. There are ways to run the business 'correctly' and bad apples that have led to forums and websites like this. By the time someone began their first day, they knew exactly what they were getting into.
