I work as one of the much-maligned demo guys for Health-Tek California.
We are all instructed to ALWAYS ask for the lady of the house, and NEVER for the husband.

The reason: research all over has shown that the woman spends more time in the house, has a much larger say in household expenditures, and is much more concerned about air quality in the home because of children, time in the kitchen, cleaning duties, etc.

It's unfortunate that so many have had unpleasant experiences with "pushy" reps, but in an organization as large as us, this is bound to happen.

If you EVER get a bad feeling about a sales rep, a demo person, a surveyor, or anyone else you don't know, you have the ultimate answer: don't let them in.

I had a fun demonstration.  The Filter Queen was amazing but I can't buy it right now   But I will when I buy my house. Anyway it was fun and I got a voucher for 100 worth of free gas. Very worth it. I really wish you all had a great experience as I did. Glad I could help a small local business out.

I saw the add for this job on Craigslist yesterday, as anyone looking for a job I applied it seemed great! The last called me this morning and offered me an interview at 8pm this evening ok, first that's weird and seems pretty late for an interview. Second - she was rude and basically hung up on me before I had said bye. I decided that I would go anyways.. Then I got home and I thought that I would look up the company to make sure everything was legit but then I realized she didn't say the name of the company and just gave me the Address - coquitlam location faucet road. I looked up the phone number because not much came up with the address and got all this information I have decided I will NOT be going to this job interview as I am not a telemarketer or annoying person. I tell these people to f**k off all the time however we all have to keep in mind it's not 100% these people that are calling you's fault - they work for the company like anyone else they need a job and money to live. Legit good jobs are hard to come by now a days.

U can't be serious are you!? U actually think that!? You are a f****n riot! We do not work with the police. Since when would filter queen work with the police. We don't give a s*** if u cook or grow in your house. Someone have a guilty conscience much!!! You are by far my favorite most idiotic response so far!

I made the error of actually going to the interview. I thought I was applying for the position of Office Manager. The place on Faucett in Coquitlam looked completly Fly By Night. They stuckme I a small waiting room where I had to listen to someone from upstairs storm down and scream at the top of her lungs at the receptionist asking why she didnt answer her intercom.  Then I am quickly ushered upstairs and not asked any typical interview questions, just told the base pay of $3200.00 per month  they top you up to that oevel, you have to attend all these home appointments at crazy times like 8 at night. Then told me I would have to come in for training for three days then off I go. The whole thing just felt Hinky, so I passes on the position. Then I started doinv some research. Glad I passed. These people called me on several occasions and I was disgusted by the telemarketers behaviour. There is no way I could support a company like this. Ick...
