These people are nothing put pushy and rudeThe one girl Aisha stood on my porch knocking for 10+ mins before I decided to open the door and tell her I was not interestedThey give out your info, your neighbors, other kids and parents information out just to try to convince you to buy their booksThey don't comprehend the words "no thank you"They will stand at your door peaking through your windows saying "I know you're home, your car is in the driveway" I don't care how good their books are I would never buy from someone like them!!!
Dear Revdex.com
Heres my take on it
A young lady from Poland came by my house this past Friday during lunch time to talk about Southwestern AdvantageI had my year old daughter in the house, so invited *** in for some blueberry pieWe talked over an hour about: Poland; what its like now, the two cities shes from one where her parents live, one where she goes to University, Polish history and her parents role in WWII and Communist occupation; American food; sweet tea from the South compared to Poland etcShe told us who she's living with a nice retired couple from ** *** *** *** she is CatholicShe talked to my daughter in Polish
A good time was had by all, but....she said most decisions made about buying SW Advantages books were made by the lady of the house, so could she come back on Saturday and talk to my wife? Sure! SoSaturday afternoon Weronika comes by the house, talked to my wife and me for about two hours about: The SWA books, what University is like in Poland vs America, her grand parents on her mothers and fathers side, what they did in WWII, where they lived at, what it was like being refugees in WWIIWe finally ended buying the pack of SWAs books, there appear to be some value to the books if your kid has difficulty in school
At no time did I feel pressured or feel tthat she was "casing" the jointAt no time did we feel there was ANY aspect to human trafficking etcI did check Revdex.com while *** was sitting at my dinner tableWe discussed some of the customer issues described at the SAW/Revdex.com listing, didn't frighten me away
At the end of the story, felt my daughter gained s0ome insight into living and growing up in EuropeI gained some books to help my youngest in school

One of your student contractors came to my door this afternoon looking to give me a presentation and sell books I have a clearly visible "no soliciting" sign right in between my front door and doorbell Before the young man could even speak I pointed to the sign and said, "No soliciting." He ignored me and tried to proceed I again spoke over him and said, "I am not interested." He tried again I pointed to the sign again and said, "this sign says 'no soliciting' You guys come every summer, I know who you are, I am NOT interested." He said, "So it's like when Santa comes." I was NOT amusedI said, "Sir, please leave." Here is a direct quote from Trey C***, Dirof Commat Southwestern Advantage, "If a student visits a home that is clearly marked "No Solicitation," they should be informed by the homeowner that this is the case and asked to leave." I felt I asked him to leave several times before he finally did so I don't like being rude, but he was rude first
Your salesman just left my doorstep after pounding on my door and I didnt respond so then he procedding to ringing the doorbell ..no answer clearly that means go away instead he pounds on the door again,I open the door and tell him I am not interested and he continues to try and do his spill he has to try and do..I repeated myself times during his so called presentation that I was no interested He then took out his book sped thru some pages and he still talkedDoing this at pm at night 1st off is not smart and is dangerous to your employees ..I dont appreciate having to tell someone times that Im not interested ONCE should be enough and if you continue to keep on I tend to get rude the next or times cause you are not listening to me on my OWN property!!
The salesman for my area from Southwestern Advantage was beyond polite, educated and seemed fit for the jobMy daughter is almost so now is the time to make sure she's getting the best educationThe books I purchased will more than help her learn and advanceHappy with your products, and employee!
I had a great experience with SW AdvantageMy sales rep was very nice and professional, and got us very excited about the booksTypically I shoo off door to door salesmenWhen it came time to get our books our rep had to go home for a family emergencyThe new rep was also very nice, she was able to come back a couple days later and redeliver our books when we weren't homeWhen she was speaking with another customer she was very professional
These books- are amazingMy daughter is two and has loved these books since we got them! I love all the bright colors, and different levels of education in the booksI love how I can introduce Spanish to her, and the interactive website is great tooI would HIGHLY recommend any parent/ grandparent buy books/products from this companyWonderful wonderful experience!!!!!!
I had Eveli come to my door a few years ago selling text books and at first I was skeptical but after listening to her and viewing the math, science and literature books I was very impressedI decided to purchase of the books and I have been very happy with them I have a child in elementary school and we have used them constantlyWell worth the money - I highly recommend them Anyone with kids in school should get these books, especially the math ones!
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Guntar who took time out of his day to come enlighten me with information in helping my son succeed in his educationThe books that I bought at Guntars recommendation have been working greatThank you, thank you, thank you for the positive experience in meeting you, for your follow up of our satisfaction in the excellent materials shared with me and my sonIt is a purchase that keeps giving and giving, The material provided is none short of a fountain of knowledgeIt's an investment in child's education and worth the money I spentI'm very pleased with the service provided and I highly recommend investing as well
I bought those books for my sisters babyI have had greatest time in my life working with Southwestern Advantage! All the travels and experience I have gained from going door to doorI have grow as a person alot! I have been able to talk to thousands of families over the summers doing my summer internshipsThat has gave me great understanding about life and why is it important to be thankful for everything we have in our livesBeen working with families to help to fulfill their educational needs and make a difference in childrens educationOne family at the timeIts challenging working door to door but its so worth it when mom hugs me and thanks for making a difference in their family lifeEducation is important and when parents cant help with homework it can be frustratingI have oppurtunity to try find those families and provide the tools they need to help outThats great to see how our educational producs help young people become more successful and confident in lifeThank for giving me this chance to learn, work and growMake a difference in this world!
I am an elementary special education teacherI bought two sets of books from Guntars Bookman Logins last summerThe book sets arrived by delivery shortly after my final payment went through! I am impressed with the set of Explore and Learn books I purchased The information is presented in concise format with interesting pictures to accompany the information I have used the books many times to enhance science and social studies lessons about space, animals, continents, etc I also purchased the set of Ask Me booksThese books are more interesting for my younger learnersThey cover many different topics and have lovely pictures and formatting which attract attentionMy experience with Southwestern Advantage has been a positive oneThe materials I purchased have been beneficial to my classroom
We got a visit from Sandy and I am so glad we looked him up! The books we have received are fabulous and my kids love themNot only are the useful for my youngest kids , but older kids are using them as well for projectsI would recommend these books to anybody!
I would like to take the time and say Thank You to your representative Tanel K***He was very friendly and helpful and a fascinating person all the timeI didn't think he was pushy as some salesmen areI work in retail so I knowMy kids love the books and they loved listening to MrK***He is such a kind person and we felt at home with himHe was thoughtful and he answered all of the questions I hadThe books are great and I even read them from time to time
I had a college girl come to my door to sell some booksVery polite and overall great experienceThe books were beautifulI could only afford to buy They look to be very well doneI homeschool and hoping this to be an easy reference for myself and my son
We had a very positive experience when we got a random knock on our day one Saturday morning Our salesperson was very polite and never did we feel pressured to buy He made it very clear that we just had to say the word and he'd be on his way The price seemed to be steep, but after getting the app and receiving our books, we're pleased with our purchase Our kids are excited about the books and as I said before, our salesperson was very friendly and at no point did I feel uncomfortable or like I'd been scammed At any point I could have said "No."
It was a pleasure working with Trey Campbell at Southwestern, I will all of our customers were this easy to deal withI would highly recommend doing business with them!
I had a gal come by once in the afternoon and once at 9pmThe first time she came by she started her pitch which didn't really explain what she was sellingIt was very clearly stated I was not interested and to please leaveAfter several times of saying no thank you, I asked if she knew what "no" meantShe said she did but still continued onSo I just shut the door and went on with my dayThe second time she came by she was listing all of my neighbors and how many children they haveThen started asking if I had children and how old they were, if they went to daycareThen had the audacity to ask which daycare they went toAt that point I was fuming and had to shut the doorI don't really care if you are a business or not, but do NOT come to my door and ask all these invasive questions and think it is ok ESPECIALLY at 9pmI will be warning my friends and family of thisPlease also do not try to tell me that the these kids are trained by their local branchesYou have obviously read the PRO and CON list and can see that people will never respond well to someone showing up past a certain time, let alone asking invasive questionsLooks to me the source of the company needs to do some heavy training with their local branches before they start training any more kids
This business solicites college students to sell door to door in a state that isn't even their home stateThe young man that came to our house have MN plates, said he went to school in NE and was selling books in OHThere's the 1st red flagThen he proceeded to ask me if any of my neighbors had children and pulled out a map of our street that he'd drawn with an X on houses with no children and circles around the houses with children!! After we told him we were interested, he still asked me to write down my personal information on this scrap piece of paper he hadIn today's world, there are red flags in every part of this encounterZERO starts for the business model
I look forward every summer to connecting with the student workers from Southwestern. In addition to the great products, their incredible work ethic and positive attitudes give me hope for the future.
Southwestern is a great American company with excellent products and a mission of developing character in young people
