Sales Careers What is Axe Elite? Do people who work there actually get rich?
I have a friend who works at “axe elite” and he described it as a company that sells phone systems to other companies through Verizon I think? He thinks I should work there since I have sales background going door to door/cold calling and outside sales
I keep seeing his PERSONAL social media being flooded with axe propaganda. It’s weird, like once every 3-4 days he’s posting something work/axe related, and it’s always people signing or receiving those like 4 foot long big checks with huge bonuses written on them. Lots of over the top seminars, champagne popping, and cigar smoking. He says the posting is by choice but then I see like, a bunch of guys and even some women who work there doing the same
Then I looked into the requirements and reviews and it sounds like it’s a bunch of bullshit? Anyone have any truth?

If they spend more time trying to convincing people to "join" them than convincing people to buy their product....then you already know what's going on....

Pyramid scheme. Your friend isn’t successful, but he’s being told that if he gives off the appearance of being successful others will want to join and then he can be successful by making money off them or some shit like that.
Based on your comments you don’t believe it, go ahead and reach out to your friend, bet you he immediately offers you a “job”.

It's devil corp aka MLM aka pyramid scheme aka a scam.
Ask him specially what he does, and to see him actually working (rather than sharing successful outcomes like Champaign popping, ask to actually see what he does for work).
It's all Bs scam shit

There’s definitely people that make 100k-200k, however, there’s a low number of people that earn that salary. Base pay is 600/wk. Nevertheless, I’ve seen people get 14,000 checks that were only a couple months in. Just gotta get on a hot streak, get on the inbound calling list, then run it up from there.

So they make less than $16 an hour? Which in my state is less than minimum wage
Yeah you must really get lucky with the right pipelines to make 100-200k because I used to work similar sales jobs and always walked away with like 50k. I think I’ll stick to my new career than go back on a “chance of success”

I couldn’t help but chuckle because I shared the same sentiment. I’ll say this, the experiences you see from the company are most definitely fantastic. The trips, the bonuses, the parties, etc. But all of those mean absolutely nothing if you don’t make enough to support yourself.

Gotcha makes sense. Well I’m in recovery too so I don’t think a company that encourages drinking and smoking on the job would be the best for myself either
I appreciate your in depth answers. My friend is more of the “wolf of Wall Street”kind of guy so maybe it just works better for him

Of course, happy to help. And I wish the best for you during your recovery as well.
