Company doesn't pay commissions

I have been trying to collect on 2 accounts is sold in Dec. 2010. Have been told several times the check was in the mail, it never was. They no longer answer the phone (must have caller ID) or return voice mail messages.
Got 1 email return from Jay Hampton with a promise that he would check into it. Still no answers. This company has a great concept, but obviously poor management and poor business ethics. Maybe they will enjoy the money they owe me, I hope they do, because they won't be in business long with these kinds of principles.

Company doesn't pay commissions

I think their business model must be suffering because they keep hawking their reps to pay them money each month for one thing or the other. It is really annoying. They come across as downright desperate. One of their avenues is to have reps pay $49/month for their own SMS keyword. But anyone can go straight to DOTGO (the same backend they are using) and get the same thing for free or at most $9.95/mo.

Their new visitor each month have declined by several thousand since May of 2011.

I don't trust them. But not paying reps is real bad news. Any business not paying their salespeople who keep them in business is a tragedy waiting to happen.

Company doesn't pay commissions

agreed. I listened in on a webinar & the Boost people did come across as desperate. I find it disgusting how they are trying to get funds by bilking stuff to their reps. seems to be happening a lot. i've followed them and thie antics for a while to check them out & see if I wanted to do it part time, but they don't appear to be on the up & up. they "claimed" that the special, super duper offer they had available only on Sept 16 would be gone after 50 people signed up. what crap. you can still order it right now. those desperados aren't turning down any money...the whole time-limited scarcity thing is nothing but marketing.

people, i would stay away from these clowns.

Company doesn't pay commissions

Update: I was never contacted by Boost and decided to file a complaint with the BBB. Guess what ! Boost wouldn't answer them either. They still send me auto emails offering to buy out any rep that has 100 or more customers and pay up front 18 mos. commissions. The reason they can offer this is that there are NO reps that have 100 customers. Safe bet for them, trying to make theirselves look real. I've quit holding my breath for my money, I started turning blue and I don't look good blue. They're doomed!!

Company doesn't pay commissions

This company is flat out lying about everything they say. From being the leader in the industry, to how the started, saying that this ass Ed Elliott invented the technology. They don't pay their reps, they make stuff up about the size if their operation. These guy will soon be getting a visit from the LA Attorney General. Saying they are desperate is an understatement, they Are Crooks!!! They deserve what's coming.

BAd customer service,fraud,neglected to pay me back my money,rude customer service

I received Many emails from BoostContact to join there organization. Most of their emails suggest I could get FREELEADS and the Webnar said this "Boostcontact + Postcard "Work From Home" Marketing = Easy Commission" I did this on the 29th of September 2011. I paid $295.00 for the Dealer in Madison Wisconsin area. The sales items they said they would send me they did. I expected to be emailed to set up times to learn this system before I was going to sell it.

I emailed each of the top people and it took many days of no response so I then sent another email to get some support and training time, information on times to have a web meeting. Again, I did not receive a response from BoostContact. I finally got activated October 26, 2011. On the 29th of October BoostContact withdrew another $67.00 for monthly service. On October 31, 2011 I sent another The response was "Hello Nick, The best place to get started and get your self up to speed is to head on over to the reps area which is located here: http://boostcontact.com/salesrep." There was never a schedule of training that was promised. Then on November 2, 2011 BoostContact charged me another $67.00.

On November 8, 2011 I did 3 things, I canceled my pay pal payments, I asked for help again, and I filed a dispute with PayPal. This is when I received the first training email, it said this is what you might be looking for with no mention of setting up any training. This is what they said "Please look at these materials and contact us if you have anymore questions." On November 9th Ed (the Owner) emailed me and this is what he had to say. "Hello Nick, It looks like you need some guidance on which direction to take as a Boost Contact Representative. We have many new representatives that are sometimes overwhelmed with the information and I try my best to clear the air so you can get out there and begin building your new residual income. That being said, I will inform that support team to contact you to walk you through any of the processes you are unsure about and additionally, I would like to extend an open invite for both you and I to have a one-on-one game plan discussion. If you would to schedule a call with me would you kindly reply with 2 available times, 1 today and 1 tomorrow, and I will check my schedule and let you know which one works best. It's important that we clear the air since the Holidays are stomping at our doors and if you've already heard from other representatives, these are obviously the best 2 months to push mobile marketing toward your local area businesses. Please let me know if you have further questions and I look forward to speaking with you.

I responded and heard nothing. I like the system but if I cant get the help I need from them how can I recommend them to my clients and the other people that wanted to work with me.
