IPA or its offspring SMS-NA
Buyer beware: SMS, ROI, ROI-na, roi-na.com GPS, ABS are all names of the same consulting company.
Thier scam is to send a business consultant to your business with the claim to help your business. If fact they send a "consultant" who's sole job is manage to get more billable hours out. The client ends up with a very expensive invoice for a worthless business report.
If you are thinking of working for these companies (in reality its all of the same one company) you are going to be scammed out of your commission as well. You will have to pay out of your own pocket for any expenses, most of which will not be paid back.
A sweet little 70 gal came in to our offices today, smelling of lavender and covered in innocent smiles. She told me how awesome they are, and how much money the saved for business owner through streamlining processes. She struggled to get me on the phone with Mark, the regional VP...
I politely said no, and told her I wanted to "do a little research first before I spoke with the high pressure specially trained closing guy"...
A little google homework and I found they are a spinoff of IPA, International Profit Associates, a well know scam company. The use acronyms that are common to make searching them more difficult. They give you a boilerplate report and charge you up the rear for it....
The last IPA sales guy I physically pushed out the office door.... LOL :box: While yelling at him that he should be ashamed of himslef for trying to scam hardworking people out of their money, and told him to go get an honorable job!!! I was more polite with grandma. But she still hit the bricks....:skull
