Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m a sales manager for independent authorized AT&T dealer for direct sales where I hire my sales reps as a 1099 and they get paid on a commission basis.
I have a rep who recently started with me who quit another office where he did the same thing. The problem is the previous company is stating he signed a contract where he could not worth with any AT&T affiliated companies for 1 year within a 100 mile radius or else they would sue him.
It seems like a complete scare tactic to avoid competition swiping up disgruntled workers. In my understanding the only legal way this could be done is if the company compensates the former worker for the time stating he cannot work for another company and if he does, then he is subjected to being taken to court in violation of the money compensated to him for agreeing to do so.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this? He’s a young smart guy and it seems he’s just being bullied.
Also, if it is wrong is there any legal action that can be taken against the other company?
Thanks in advance!

This is a job that’s been posted in many job sites in Ontario. The problem is that it is virtually impossible to ever make the $18/hr. The job is presented as a “Water Purification Technician” or “Water Quality Advisor”. What it comes down to is you aren’t applying for a Technician job at all but it is a sales job which means the job ads are misleading. You would have to sell a large amount of units that are worth thousands of dollars. In one website I read that Perfectly Pure Solutions sell their units for $6500 and commision for the sales rep is $125. Not much money for that expensive a unit and good luck selling that many. There is also a you tube link for which I will post that tells of sales reps committing fraud to unsuspecting clients with a water purifying company.Who’s to say that all these companies haven’t changed their name and move around. Perfectly Pure Solutions in St. Catharines, Ontario has been advertising for these jobs in our area. My husband lost his job of over 24 years and he almost fell victim to this. Upon doing research, he called and declined the job for which when he applied, they called within 4 hours. Perfectly Pure Solutions is advertising in a reputable job search site and I find this very unfair due to our area being hit hard by job loss and people trying to find work, fall for this type of job post. The email used in all ads from October to April was ppslisa@gmail.com. I wrote to this individual with the you tube video and some other information for which I found where people had posted in forums on how they were mislead by the St. Catharines company. Since writing to this person, the job was once again posted today and the email was changed to eaglelisak@gmail.com. I now want to warn people of two things. 1.) watch the you tube video and don’t allow anyone to try to come to your home and sell you a water purification system unless you have chosen to have someone come to install something. 2) beware of any job that requires no experience with high hourly rates of pay and are affiliated with water purification systems. Here is the you tube link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxY48FDLD…

Okay so here’s the situation…
I am an american citizen born in Beirut Lebanon, I saved up enough cash to buy a store, decorate it to look like a Victoria’s secret store excellent lighting, the same drawer system as Victoria’s secret, got the VS merchandise only issue I have…. well….
the store is in Beirut Lebanon, smack in the middle of Islam wonderland… where showing an advertisement of a model showing any kind of skin would result in that poster getting sprayed black by (sex deprived loons)
I did my research, VS products are in high demand by the women here, I can get VS products from the states on a regular basis , the rules are as follows I am unable to show any sexually provocative imagery to the outside (Basically think of it as a XXX shop in the states) with an all black entrance and just the recognized big XXX on the front door…
Obviously i spent a bit of cash on the decor of the store and the way the store runs to have it blocked out from public and being unable to advertise what I’m selling….
the good side to this whole thing…. I can show anything i like on the inside i just need to get the customers to go in…. once they are in… I got the trained commission hungry sales reps waiting and the exotic erotic video’s playing on flat screen displays showing models prancing around wearing what i’m selling to keep em entertained and intrigued and locked in the store for the longest amount of time to allow for impulse buys…..
to make this happen I had to design the front of the store as follows … an all glass front door on side the other side is blocked by a shiny black display preventing people from seeing in….
now…. being that it’s in lebanon I have the following benefits… no copyright laws, no subliminal advertising laws, basically no laws… lol I can do anything with this huge bulletin board thats the front of my store…. as long as it does not display any images of half naked women….
I was thinking of something to do with negative command’s…. with the words (Victoria’s Secret) in the font and color used on their logo in the middle of a paragraph in smaller font with different color something along the lines of “A poster with one of the most beautiful sexy model wearing the same (Victoria’s Secret) lingerie that’s sold inside goes here”
as you can see…. this type of technique forces you to visualize the sexy model in your head as you read it… and being that people wouldn’t wanna read this much on bulletin the words (Victoria’s Secret) in big pink font is in the middle of the sentence and the board enough to attract the right customers and also as an added bonus it tells you that whatever you visualized her wearing is exactly what I’m selling inside….. …
I need feedback advise and critique i also need to perfect that sentence make it short, gets the point across and as influential as humanly possible …
Thanks 🙂 hope this is challenging enough for all you marketing/advertising hot shots…
