EDIT: it is NOT the 1099 form I describe. Instead it is the W-2 Form. sorry for the mix-up. EDIT 2: On an interesting note, I recieved a message from a “youtuber” by the name of Hallnoats4ever telling me things this person found wrong with my video. Although most I disagree with, I’d like to quote one thing that was said. “I was [trained] to be an Area Distributor and I found out Factory Distributors only pays $300.00 for the machine, now for him to make a profit it has to be sold above $700 or $800.” NOTE: If you are going to say this video is a scam, please give details on the points you believe to be false. Being a Cyber-bullying isn’t cool, and I’m surprised on how many “Franchise Representatives” are so quick to insult in a very unprofessional manner. This is NOT a comedy. This is how, in my opinion, how Kirby Distribution Center’s treats and how they recruit their employee’s. Many of them do not even know what they are getting into. There are also many customer complaints of how Kirby employees treat them once they are in their home giving the demonstration. please read about these instances here: www.consumeraffairs.com you may also read more about the recruitment for salespeople here: www.cockeyed.com and check out someones real-life experience by clicking here: sonyericssonx1.proboards.com I believe that Kirby is a deceptive company, and everyone should be aware of what their franchises are doing to gain employees, and then how they treat them once they have them …
Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Scam
April 16, 2010 By
lol I went in to my first day of training today, this was so obviously a scam from the get go.
I give them credit, it is a very good operation, they know what they are doing, and they had everyone else in that room sold, I felt bad for them.
@Norby735… Ur so rite in what ur sayin. Pull ur head in disaster, cos u really dont know wat ur talkin bout in ur mono tone voice i wouldnt buy it off u either if i had to listen 2 that voice for an hour. a 17 yr old who i work with made 30 sales in a month, close 2 10 geez payd 4 his 16 G holden in folding notes, he would have made only 250 a week had he stayd @ hungry jacks flippin burgers. Nw 18 hes on his way to becoming a distributor.
@norby735….
Thank god ur intelligence allow u not to sign the contract bcuz u wouldnt have lasted long with ur self doubting negative attitude. U have no idea how much a distributor makes on a sale bcuz u have false information, u only wrkd there for 2days & obv. didnt do ur research well. The only person who knows how much a distributor makes is the distributor. The ppl feedin u this BS can also shove it up their ass bcuz they didnt work there long either. So dont make a video if ur info is not accurate
@DigitalDisaster actually yes…. in the face. the office that i work for is in no way shape or form like what you described in this video. they got kids pullin in $6000 a month! maybe you should be a little more specific as to which branches are shitty and/or not paying people and stop smearing the ones that are a legitimate business. dumb ass
@norby735 Actually, it was intelligence that stopped me from signing a contract stating that I worked for myself and that a distribution center is going to be taking a majority of the profit made from me selling a vacuum…. and who forced you to watch this? and you think I should shoot myself and everyone involved with this video? Fuck you, you fucking internet g.
Hey digital disaster why don’t you just go shoot yourself! along with everyone as mentioned in this stupid video if your too dumb to read something before signing it then you deserve to get ripped off. I just started doin this and it seems pretty legit. theres people there makin some decent coin which is enough to convince me. maybe if you weren’t given yourself blow jobs with the vacuum you might have sold one or two and saved us all form having to watch this stupid fucking video!!!
ok this is complete bullshit…i work for kirby and bring home 1000+/ wk if u dnt do all ur demos or dnt sell u wnt get paid cuz ur not doin ur job….so ppl who say is a scam just dnt kno how to fuckin do there job and failed at this job
this is stupid let me guess u didnt even work there for more than 3wks, u didnt make ANY money cuz u didn’t sell SHIT, u couldnt work the long hrs cuz ur lazy, u didnt have the balls to sell something. ive made every prized promised ive been on 8 vacations and ive made $1000+ a wk cuz i do what im supposed to do and im not afraid to work. theres so many ppl out there that have made so much money in kirby cause theyre not weak and u didnt make a cent cuz u didnt do 15 demos. so this is bullshit
I just signed the contract on Friday! I had my suspicions, but I kind of knew what I was getting into. I figured I was either going to be one of those people who sold alot or just a little, if at all. So far its not looking good. I guess I have 3 business days until I can’t get out of it right?
You people who say Kirby is a scam are retarded. You obviously didn’t read the fine print. I worked as the recruiter for a factory distributor in MA. The only people who didn’t get paid were either the ones who failed to meet the criteria for getting the bonus based on doing a certain number of COMPLETE presentations, and failed to sell anything in that time. Funny, the people who didn’t sell anything and didn’t make any money are the people who half assed their Jobs to begin with.
Kirby designed the first water filtered cleaner as well in 1906, then designed the kirby w a bag in 1914
Ur both wrong a mexican tycoon wit telco is nw tha wealthiest man then bill gates then warren. Bill gates is on the kirby board of directors, warren donated 2 bill to the bill gates foundation an gave up second place.
@theoriginalfh He is the second wealthiest, and Daniel Hess designed the first vacuum. Check your facts and come back with some intelligence. Kirby was designed for Scott & Feltzer, not rainbow. Seeing on how Rainbow wasn’t made until 1929, 15 years after Kirby, I doubt that it’s even possible for what you’re saying to be true.
I dont know about your numbers, but yes, you do “sell a shit ton of vacuums,” Kirby is a good vacuum, which I stated in the video. That’s not what this video is about.
warren buffet isn’t the second wealthiest person alive he IS the wealthiest person alive dumb ass and kirbys been around since 1906. James Kirby designed the first vacuum cleaner ever and sold the design to rainbow and then invented what we now know as a kirby vacuum it is the oldest vacuum company in the business and kirby is 70% of the market for vacuums, obviously we sell a shit ton of vacuums and if you worked for them and were any kind of sales person at all you could make money, not a scam
Lol found u n tha latest kirby mag kenrick yep 33 sales, bronx. Congrats!
ok i have been working for kirby like 10 years and i have made a lot of money so this B.S.
yea they are a scam,i used to work for them a year ago,i was never paid not one cent,and i put oh idk,about a few thousand hours,fucking scammmmmm
Melbourne, australia;)
usa ny, u?
kirby never hired me. I was an independent contractor. Warren buffet is the 2nd richest man, and I’m sorry I don’t agree with pyramid schemes such as this company you come back to defend and state the same opinion about over and over and over and over and over and over.
33 good goin. Which country u in? U obviously hav good people skills, unlike tha nerdy twits who made this clip.
“An employee would be lucky to sell more than 2 a month.” That is the biggest load of crap I’ve ever heard. Lucky to sell 2?! Anyone who qualified for a trip would sell 15+ 2 of the 3 months for the contest period. I would say 10 is more like a good average. I sold 33 in the month of sept. alone. You don’t know anything about this company and you talk out of your ass.
If kirby is a scam, why does the richest guy in America back it? Why does Warren Buffet own Scott&Fetzer( the company that owns kirby, as well as world book)? Digital your just a lazy person who doesn’t what work is. You were just upset that the only company that did hire you at the time, actually wanted you to work.
what? this is nonsense. “higher-ups” come onto youtube and post comments? I don’t think so. I think its the sales people who believe in kirby because it works for them.
