    Inner Sunset

    This was my favorite corner design shop back when I lived in the Sunset. I didn't go often. Being…read morea student, my professional graphic design services needs were low. But they did have one of the last remaining typewriters left in the fog zone, so on occasion they would let me pay them by the hour to sit down and type out an application. Spotted Dog presaged the dot com boom in many ways with its hip but sincere design ethic, its work on web design, one of the early Color-Animal company names that later became all the rage, and of course the whole dog thing. But it never quite joined in. As other tiny design shops expanded, took in venture financing, took over floors of factory warehouses, and sold out to Avenue A, Razorfish, and Rare Medium, Spotted Dog clung to its cute little storefront on the edge of San Francisco's fog zone, never growing beyond a few people. You've probably seen their work if you've read the Azie menu, eaten at Hyde Street Bistro, Spa Fusion, Pizza Antica, Fuzio, Zibbibo, a few dozen others. Bought a bottle of Lulu's vinegar? Been to a party at Merchant's Exchange? Perhaps you've seen their famous Wine Wheel. Little things they've done infuse the character of life here, they are part of what makes San Francisco such a gorgeous city to live. If you are in business, from plumbing repair to a chocolate bar, never forget the importance of branding, logos, product design, and style. You are not just selling a fixed shower drain, you are selling a way of life. A restaurant sells more than food, it sells flavor - and a beautiful menu makes everything in life taste better. Now that the dot com boys are all gone, back to surfing Santa Cruz, back to the engineering job, back to Burning Man, Spotted Dog is still there doing high end work for restaurants, wineries, and hotels. One hopes they'll weather the new economic crash just like the last one and that a couple years from now when the City gets back on its feet there will be some fantastic new restaurant with a salt tasting menu, a pre-dinner herbal alignment, or a beet cart, and you will get swept away in the spotted dog aesthetic not knowing why, just knowing life is good.

    1. The training will rush you to start scheduling appointments on the very first day. We had little…read moreor no idea of how to run a presentation, how easy or difficult it will be to acquire those skills, or how time consuming this preparation will be. This degraded my confidence in the training process as well as how successful I will be in getting off the ground at Vector Marketing. 2. They will expect you to do a number of things right after training, on the same day. If your training happens in the late afternoon or evening, you will be very rushed, as I was. In my case, I felt this was extremely poorly planned on the part of the individuals running the training. Rushing through like this just leads to sloppy and poor results. 3. The products are good but unless you're a professional chef, you just don't need knives that cost several thousand dollars. You don't. So remember, they want you to sell products that are outrageously expensive, and that's very hard. 4. The training is unpaid. 5. There is no base pay. 6. Appointments/presentations earn you only $35 each. 7. They tell you about opportunities to earn bonuses, but to be able to do that you would need to spend an extraordinary amount of time trying to sell these overpriced products, and you simply need a lot of luck. 8. They expect you to do most if not all of your appointments online. This seems like a great idea, you don't have to physically go anywhere. But the obvious problem is that people don't want to buy anything unless they can see it for themselves, especially if they would be spending a substantial amount of money. If you don't sell anything, you don't get paid - and they threaten to let you go from the team! 9. So let's say that you decide to do more in person appointments to improve your sales. The problem is that Vector Marketing is so cheap, they will not give you any demo products that you could take to appointments! You have to buy the expensive knives, to have something to show customers. This is just outrageous! 10. They expect you to exploit all your family and friends, down several layers, like your friends' parents, their friends, your parents' colleagues, their friends, etc. This is because they know the only way you can sell this stuff (and thus make them money) is by exploiting your social connections. Beyond that, these products are almost impossible to sell, unless you are a very experienced and pushy, manipulative salesperson. 11. The training is highly tailored toward young people such as college students. So if you're older than say 30, this is not for you. 12. Once you sign up, the management is not supportive, is not responsive to questions, and in fact will treat you with downright disrespect. This is unusual for any sales team, since the only thing that's usually positive about sales is that they try to pump you up to stay positive. At Vector they don't even do that right. 13. I feel this is because the local management is too young, too inexperienced and simply too immature. The DOM (division office manager) is very young, projects no positive energy, but with his experience I would expect significantly better answers to questions related to presentations to the customers. He is absolutely no leader. He doesn't even know how to wear a suit or a tie.

    This is a company that sells Frontier cable - going door-to-door...SO dangerous is these times…read more.. their website is REALLY misleading.
