Hi everyone,
I would just like to share my experience with this company DW Group
- KCG Holdings or otherwise now known as EastWing Group. I joined
DW Group - KCG Holdings in Dec 2003 located at Apex Tower Tanjong
Pagar. In early 2004, KCG Holdings "ventured" out from DW Group and
became known as EastWing Group now located at a shophouse at Neil
Road, just opposite Cantonment Police Complex.
I dare to say my working experience in EastWing Group is a really
bad experience coz I got cheated a few thousand dollars worth of
goods, the infamous health wise mattress worth near $2K each.
Actually I can tell everyone, the product itself is NOT a scam,
because magnetotherapy is rather established in other countries,
just that some local companies are actually selling at a very high
price, of course thats the way these companies have to
survive.
Well at that time, me and my so-called downline we sold quite a
number of goods and as u all know, we have to pay the amount to the
management and they promise to give us the goods in one months
time. However, we quitted in early March, coz we were really so
broke, and we realized that we could not survive in this so-called
toughest trade. You can say that we were poor sales personnel, we
did not have the skills to survive there. Well, I admit it cos I am
glad I did not possess such "surviving" skills.
I sold a few pillows to my friend and when I quitted I didnt clear
all my stocks. When we called the company to ask for the goods, the
manager would tried to delay giving us the stocks. Finally, me and
my colleague we managed to force the manager to write us an
agreement, stipulating by the agreed time, if they couldnt give the
goods, we will report to the police. We even got his fingerprint on
the agreement.
In the end, they couldnt produce the goods, and this is actually
something which I find quite fishy.. I am really not sure why when
we have already paid the full amount, we still couldnt get our
goods. The reason given by the manager was the supplier delayed the
goods. When I asked the manager for the supplier's no, he
IMMEDIATELY changed the topic saying that I shouldnt do this...
blah blah blah...
The next week, my colleague and I we reported the case to the
police and the Small Claims Tribunal. We won the case at the SCT
and they were supposed to give us back our $2K last month, but up
till now we havent get our $$ back. The worst thing is, I had to
fork out my own $$ to pay back my friend cos apparently she felt
cheated by me for asking her to get their products. By the way,
there is no use reporting it to the police, cos they will just take
down ur statement and in 2 weeks, they will just write u a letter
saying that this is a civilian case, they cant do anything.The
managers say they have no $$, but 2 of them are driving BMWs, one
of which is a BMW convertible.
I have to say I am really STUPID, GULLIBLE and NAIVE to have joined
the company. I am NOT saying that MLM companies are all cheaters,
they are not! but its really my luck for me to have joined EastWing
Group. SUbsequently I found a job elsewhere where I get an hourly
wage. I do agree that I have learnt quite a lot of presentation
skills from my sales job, but u can still learn alot of things
elsewhere from other jobs. If MLM really doesnt work for u, just
leave. And it is really not suitable for just anyone out there. My
new job is quite satisfactory cos I get more benefits over there,
if the management did not cheat me of my $$, I would not be here
typing so long to share my experience.
The manager once told
our staff, you should always try to CONvince someone, when u cant
convince, u try to CONfuse, if not, u try to CONtroll them with ur
words. If all fails, u will CON them.
I am here not to say any bad about MLM, network marketing or the
Japan Life mattresses. My experience with EastWing Group nearly
costs me my family, my friends, and my entire savings which is
quite precious to a teenager.
There are many ways for u to succeed, u can do so through MLM too
but of course there's a lot for u to learn. I am really regretful
that there was no one to tell me their experience, thats why I got
cheated by this company. I hope all of u out there will really be
careful in choosing which MLM company u all join or will
join.
* MLM is definitely a good way for u to expand ur investment,
believers of MLM are actually very hardworking and determined ppl
whom we should respect. BUt my advice is join MLM ONLY if u are at
the TOP of the pyramid, otherwise you have to work hard to make $$
for those at the top.
