I received 2 calls today from this group asking if I would participate in a health survey.  Suspicious me asked the first caller who they were representing since this person only gave her personal name at the beginning of the call.  This person just hung up on me.  Several hours later another call came through and again only a personal name given and I was asked if I would participate in a health survey.  I said that I have some questions first before I would decide. I asked who she was representing.  With a very heavy accent, she replied Healthtek.  I asked where they were located.  She answered Coquitlam. I then asked HOW they got my phone number since I am listed on the "DO NOT CALL LIST".  She said they just randomly call and asked again if I would participate. I told her no, that I'm reporting Healthtek to the Fed Gov't (which I did though I NOW SEE how Healthtek gets around this list - THEY ARE "REALLY ONLY CONDUCTING A SURVEY"!!! which is only their preamble to a sales pitch.)  Yes, they do sell Filter Queen -  they are the same crowd that hooked my 81 year old father in law into buying a VERY expensive vacuum and air filter system for an extremely small apartment WITH NO CARPETING!.  He felt very embarrassed and foolish after by being taken in by  their tactics.  As well his credit card number was then used illegally for thousands of $ worth of items purchased in the US and Healthtek was the only place he had used his card.  I would advise extreme caution in dealing with this Company since all their business practices seem to be barely legal and rather sleazy.

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.

As for more negative comments then positive, people do not like to say positive things and only dwell on the negative. I have dealt with these people before and most of the staff is very pleasant. Although the time can be long, the girls all tell you you do not have to buy it and it doesn't take to Long which means it's not too long. Lol they don't actually tell you a time. I feel
Bad for the staff though who probably encounter some pretty mean people. So do everyone a favour and treat others the way you would want to be treated. Plus as someone else said healthtek has been around longer then most of you are alive, only a dozen or so negative comments, sounds pretty good to me

Lol people should just chill and let these people do their job.

The problem I had with this company is that they called DOZENS of times, at very inappropriate hours (like between 9-11PM). They always asked to speak to my spouse after he answered their survey, and would not say a word to me about why they were calling. If I asked if I could take a message, I was hung up on, and not just once. It came to a point where I became rude and obnoxious right back. No matter how many times I asked them to stop calling, they kept calling back until I yelled "f*ck off!" into the phone and hung up on them. Enough really is enough.

As for those of you who work there, I'm sure you're not all bad. But, a lot of the comments made by "Healthtek" employees on this site are just as obnoxious as the calls themselves. IF YOU ARE PROFESSIONAL, it does not serve you well to call your criticisers "idiots" or any variation thereof. That's no way to win any customers or a good score with the BBB. It also doesn't shed a good light on you when you call down other/previous employees or b*tch about how hard your job is. Most people work at jobs they don't love, and work just as hard as you do.

Have some respect for the people you're talking to, and they won't feel harassed, or like they're being pressured into a "scam". I'm sure your products really are great, but they're out of most peoples' budget. Remember that people are sensitive to pressure and will become very defensive (or offensive) when pushed, and they will NOT forget how you made them feel. If you're a salesperson and you make someone feel anything but great, they WILL complain about you to all of their friends, and not because they're b*tchy a**holes, but because they're both venting and protecting their loved ones.  This goes for everyone. Take responsibility for what you do and say, and have respect for others. It's simple.

Keep on getting call from this number. I didn't answer, if it was important they'll leave a message that's how I feel about this calls!!
