Precision Independent Media 2023-11-15 | This was for a planned episode of our old travel series - Trippin' - back in 2021. Kelli was already pregnant with Addi; and we wouldn't even know it for another week. So anytime you see Kelli in this, she's carrying our baby girl.

Smart Circle Morning Atmosphere (Kim York/Kim Pauls Office) & Propaganda Promo for The Job Window

Precision Independent Media 2023-08-05 | Get Excited!! This is raw video from inside the Smart Circle office of Kim York (formerly Kim Paul) when known as "Principal Marketing Inc." For some reason (she was probably sent on a retrain) Kim's "business" changed its name to "Imminent" and is now located in Lombard, Illinois. She likely never mentions "Principal Marketing" to any of her recruits. She lies on her LinkedIn profile, saying she's been at Imminent for over 10 years; yet this video was filmed at the end of 2013, and Imminent's Facebook page didn't emerge until 2018.

Some of these shots were used in a promo video for "The Job Window" - another Smart Circle scam that funneled jobseekers to Devilcorp offices. The promo video is shown at the end. Every time she says "client" just substitute "Smart Circle." JUICE!!

ADT Security Services Door-to Door Marketing Pitch (Possible Third-Party Scam)

Precision Independent Media 2023-06-13 | I'm just going to start recording all of these interactions. Another smooth-talking, well-rehearsed, and completely pre-programmed door-to-door rep is segwaying through the neighborhood - this time for ADT. Yet if you look at reviews for "ADT Security Services," many customers say they don't even get ADT - but a third-party security company just using the ADT name. If it's door-to-door, just assume it's a scam!!
0:00 - Building a Relationship
0:20 - "I'm not a sales rep."
0:25 - Assigned Transportation: Segway Ninebot
0:31 - Painting the Picture & Greed Factor - Using Neighbors' Names
2:27 - Using Fear
2:58 - Asking questions, assuming the sale, answering rebuttals
3:36 - Fear of Loss & Qualifying the customer (We can't do this for everybody!)
5:33 - Trying to assume the sale
5:51 - Trying to act like he's in demand

Nothing lasts forever...

And your best efforts don't always pay.
Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better.
That's when life is short even in its longest days."
