I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Maile is all of those things. I enjoy our coaching sessions and I love how she guides me to hammer out concrete goals and the steps that I need to take to reach them.

I have learned how to interact with different personality types and how to talk about my business when I introduce myself to successfully convey what I do. I am a people person and networking and getting to know people feels natural to me. It almost doesn't feel like something so fun could produce results. But it does!

It's a discovery of where you land in your communication style, and allows great insight into how you can more effectively "scope out a room" and approach potential referrals in a way that feels natural and respectful to them.

This past Monday I answered a knock at my door and was greeted by a young woman who said my next…read moredoor neighbor had just signed up for her company's carpet cleaning service and they would like to offer to clean one of my rooms for free. She said if I like the service I can get my whole house cleaned. She then showed me a laminated sheet with this business name. The problem is that last year a different person came to my door with the exact same offer and laminated sheet. Last year the business name was Paradigm Innovations. When I told the man that I wasn't interested and went to close my door, he pushed it back open and asked to come inside to use my restroom. I told him to go down the street to the public park. Because that interaction had me on edge, I looked for the company online and found that they were listed as a singing telegram service, not a carpet cleaning service. It turned out that they were really selling Kirby vacuum cleaners. The offer to clean one room for free is a misleading tactic to get them into your house for a sales pitch. One of the things they do is pour liquid soap onto your carpet, but make a point of not cleaning it up until the end of their presentation. That way, when people realize it's a sales pitch rather than the cleaning they were promised, they are less likely to immediately kick them out because they are waiting for them to clean up the mess they made. They are trained not to clean it up until a sale has been finalized. I told the young woman at my door that someone had come around before with the same offer and that I already knew they weren't cleaning carpets, but instead selling vacuum cleaners. She looked surprised at first, but begged me to let her set up an appointment anyway because she gets paid based on how many appointments she sets. "You don't have to buy a vacuum, but please let me set an appointment so I can get paid." No thanks. It seems that this is a predatory company both for unsuspecting consumers and employees. This time next year they will probably be operating under a different company name, but beware of the lines they use to get in your door as that will be the same or similar. Also the job listings for appointment setters are misleading. If you are looking for a job and don't want to trick people into listening to a 3 hour long sales pitch, skip the ads for appointment setters. If that is up your alley, try timeshare sales instead. If you want to look into this company's public records, the CIN (company identification number) is C3825994.
