Employment
I just finished my 1st 30 days with FPC and it's not for me. They have telemarketers who send you willy nilly all over your territory. They offer no auto allowance or fuel expenses. It's straight commission and it's a cutthroat biz. Half of these appts-the merchant isn't prepared to see you, it's the wrong address, and more importantly you're often not meeting with the decision maker. Yet FPC expects you to close one third of these sale calls on your 1st visit. Sometimes FPC will give you a quote and alot of the times it's lower than what the merchant is paying with there current provider. You'd think it be a slam dunk but it isn't. Think about it: its just like your current phone, TV, insurance, provider. Once you tell them that a competitor is offering a lower quote they will usually match it. Its like anything else-they will do anything to keep you as a customer. Federated Payments is high pressure sales, with no salary, no draw and no expense reimbursement. Don't waste your gas, where and tear on your car and your sanity working for these guys. I just finished my 1st 30 days with FPC and it's not for me.
