Gosh-they are making some serious money there lol

Not really,as they still have to pay tax & ni plus travel (petrol) cost's to their working area then some day's they might not get a sale.
When I went for an interview for them I went out with the salesmen.They have to knock 90 doors a day three times less those that answered.

They don't actually work for Talk Talk,they work for a company called Skye Marketing & are paid on 100% commission,no base salary so I guess they think that by going out on Crimbo,they're more likely to get folk in.
They get £40 a sale.

They also work for the same pay for the Apco/Cobra group who trade under various names, K-Vision, The Justice Organisation, AMG Marketing, TC world to name a few, (Multilevel marketing they call it) 100% commission, paid £30-50 per sale no base. They knock on behalf of

Sky
TalkTalk
MBNA
N-Power
Various charities

Pretty sure you say that exact same thing next time you get a parking ticket or your car is getting towed,

Last time I got three points on my license, I did not rave and rant. I was over the speed limit and accepted it was my fault. If I get a ticket and it was my fault I will accept it.

I bet you will be spewing expletives though ranting about your yuman rites blah blah blah

You've used this line a few times in this thread.

Suppose life is a lot easier when you don't have much of a personality and just act passive the whole time!

The above , I guess, is your personal statement on your C-V.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Did you go out with the "Leader", "Crew leader" "Assistant Owner" or honoured with the "Owner"?

Basically its a 10 hour day for little or no pay.

Also Skye Marketing is part of the Apco/Cobra Group

I guess people would need to have nerves of steel to be able to do that on a daily basis-90 doors. Not to mention, the usual abuse they get from people who then come on to this forum to complain about them !

Mccudly-are you saying people would work for ten hours and not get a dime unless they made a sale. That almost seems like slave labour...

Agreed, Plus the walk book (that had 100 addresses in) were often out of date
