Almost everyone is familiar with vague websites.  Sites that make you scratch your head because after arriving at their home page and spending five minutes analyzing the corporate-speak and stock photographs, you have no idea of what they actually do.  Smart Circle relies on such sites to keep a steady stream of victims flowing into their offices.
 
If you take the time to research Smart Circle's websites, you will find the same pictures and the same mind-numbing jargon over and over again.  " W.X.Y.Z. corporation was created to acquire and retain customers in a personalized manner for all types of companies"  or " L.M.N.O.P. company strives to be the perfect combination of entrepreneurial spirit, superb client service and successful business professionals" and my personal favorite which can be found on many of their sites "setting the standard for bringing suppliers and customers together in an easy going unobtrusive way".  Whoever is responsible for creating these websites has turned their back on a very promising and lucrative career in the field of comedy.  I'm sure however that they're not short of a dollar seeing as that these subsidiaries are always changing their names and are often being replaced with new owners who are easier to manipulate than their predecessors.
 
These websites rely heavily on quotes from well known businessmen, motivational pictures and sometimes include links to articles in the misguided hope that they will appear as legitimate businesses.  They preach the gospel of success even though the majority of their owners are living hand to mouth.  These sites are nothing more than nets used to trap human beings in order to run them through the Smart Circle meat grinder.
 
Below is a list of some of the subsidiaries in the Directv program.  Please take the time to view these websites for yourself and see if you can determine just what in the world these people do besides trying to recruit for their hollow empire.  I guarantee that they'll put a smile on your face.
 
Determined Marketing, Greensboro NC  www.determinedmkg.com
These guys have it all.  Tools for success, creative strategies, fast results, amazing support and a satisfaction guarantee!  Wow.  They also flat out lie on their "about us" page by claiming that "Determined Marketing Inc. opened its doors in January of 2010 in Greensboro NC behind the vision of the CEO Matthew Jones. The firm simultaneously landed its first client, the Nation’s leading Satellite provider and with the help of Determined Marketing it will continue to grow its reputation in outstanding customer service."  Determined Marketing didn't land jack because Directv is Smart Circle's client, not theirs.  Well done guys.
 
Revolution Rapport, Florence SC www.revolutionrapport.com
This is one of my favorite Smart Circle websites.  In it you will find the usual Smart Circle BS along with quotes from Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs.  The best quote however, comes from Revolution's own Nancy Maingi who writes "Someone recently asked me what it took to be a successful business owner, I said it's pretty simple, maybe not simple, but it's not rocket science, it's people science.  Business is people.  Our clients are people.  Our employees are people.  People science.  That sounds pretty political but it's true".  YES.....she actually wrote that and NO.......it doesn't sound political at all.  Good job Nancy. 
 
Advanced Marketing Solutions, Columbia SC www.advancedmarketingsc.net
This particular website has a client testimonial from the Ferriera family stating that "We came into the store needing and wanting to upgrade our TV home entertainment system.  After speaking with your professional sales representative we did just that!  His knowledge and expertise gave us the confidence we needed to make the best decision for our family.  We'll never shop anywhere else again".  Not bad right?  Wrong.  Next Global Stage Solutions has the exact same testimonial on their website www.nextglobalfl.com, except that it's from the Smith family.  Besides having a testimonial form the Smith family, Next Global also has one from a John Doe.  Who writes this stuff?  The same family testimonial can be found on the Titan Business Solutions website at www.titanbusinesssolutions.net.  Starting to get the picture?
 
Although I would love to go through each website individually and point out their lies and or humorous comments, that would take far too long.  Interested parties can view them at their own convenience and marvel at the blatant use of bullshit prevalent in each and every one of their sites.

Numerous other sites could have been included but they would have only echoed the ones listed above.  This company is obviously having a laugh at the expense of the American people and should be dealt with in much the same way as Cornwallis was dealt with at Yorktown.  If the presence of his majesty's Hessian soldiers was an affront to the founding fathers, shouldn't these foreign invaders be deported back to land of the maple tree?  Give me liberty, keep the death and go back to Canada already.
 
P.S.  Smart Circle may read this report and get their subsidiaries to change their websites but I can assure the reader that everything was true at the time of posting.  YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
