Flatpay reviews

They say the appointments are booked for you, but this is just to get you in the door. 3 appointments were booked for me per day, 2 out of 3 shops were closed when I went to visit, and the remaining shops i visited either had no intention of seeing me, told me they didn.t book an appointment or just had no interest in card machines because they already had one. The company is aware that 90% of the appointments booked are fake and won't go anywhere, when this was raised in our daily sales meeting, the managers answer was, you need to go out and canvess then, please note, this is a canvessing role, the appointments are completely made up just to get you in the area to cold call to shops. 22 year olds get promoted to territory managers within 2 months of being there if they have sold enough card machines, my bos was in his early 20's and had zero management experience, please take my advice on this, there is zero future at this company, you have one bad month and you are out. If you like canvassing the streets all day in this overly competitive market, then feel free, but it will be the worst job you ever do, as I learned.

There is no base salary. Instead, there is a so-called “minimum guarantee” of around £2,100 per month, which you only receive if you fail to hit target. The monthly target is 80 bookings (around 4 bookings per day), which is extremely aggressive given the setup. You are not allowed to prospect independently. All outreach must be done from a lead base scraped from Google, and you are penalised for not using the company-provided leads. These lead lists are locked and fully controlled by team leads, meaning your performance and income depend heavily on whether usable data is unlocked for you. You have little to no control over your own pipeline. Despite the company pushing a narrative of high performance, only two people have ever hit quota. This alone should say everything about how unrealistic the targets are and how broken the system is. The company claims to promote internally, but in reality leadership roles are often taken because they are the only way to gain any form of job security. These positions don’t come with better leadership training or support—just slightly more protection from being let go. As a result, management tends to focus on self-preservation rather than developing their teams. The culture is extreme micromanagement, to the point it feels like being back in school. Leadership is frequently belittling, uncomfortable to work with, and unsupportive. Employees are treated as numbers, not people, and there is no genuine desire to see anyone succeed. People are placed on performance reviews within their first month, which is completely unrealistic for a new BDR ramping up. Terminations happen very quickly, sometimes within the same week, creating a constant atmosphere of fear and instability. Morale across the sales team is incredibly low. Not a single person in sales enjoys working here, and there is a complete lack of trust, transparency, and healthy leadership.
