I purchased products from this company…
I purchased products from this company a few years back when we had a large school flooring project in Albuquerque. At that time they were slow, disorganized, and a bit ignorant about most products. I would have gone somewhere else, but they were the only distributor of this product that we needed fast. The balance of product and flooring materials we purchased in Albuquerque because of this. Fast forward to 2024: I saw an ad on Indeed looking for outside sales people / project managers. Granted, I was way, way over-qualified compared to the President and Vice President that interviewed me ( I researched them), but the position is what I was looking for as a transition from my flooring installation company. (I have closed, mostly from cold-calling, over 700 flooring projects.) So, after a Zoom interview, where the VP (Jayson) said that I "nailed the interview" and should meet with them in person. He said that their top sales people were well into 6 figures. So I spent $3000 on a trip there with my fiance to meet with them and see the town. My family is from Santa Fe (since the 1700s), so I know Santa Fe---it's a small, tourist town. Well, the interview wast a waste of time. I was completely misled. The firm seemed disorganized, the President, apparently an employee of Teamshares.com, was low on energy (low on enthusiasm and sales energy) and when I looked up his profile, was rather low on experience too for a company that is supposedly ambitious and wanting to expand its sales to $10 million. Coronado was bought by Teamshares.com, a mysterious NYC company with no public phone number, just an email: look them up yourself. The recruiter that initially contacted me was a guy named Logan Will at Teamshares.com, a fellow VERY slow on returning texts and communicating with his pet company (Coronado Paint and Decorating). Bottom line: Logan and Jayson (the VP---who told me his entire experience was in the retail industry) hyped up the job earning potential. Well, I wasted my time going out there. Their focus is residential. That market is heading for a huge crash as HELOCs and other financing options dry up and inflation increases. All of the corporate and government accounts were dedicated to the regular sales people. So that leaves the new guy with slim pickings (Santa Fe is small). Still, I love Santa Fe and I can bring in projects in any location. Well, after the interview, time went buy and they did not answer my follow up letter, my thank you letter, a request for an update, nothing. They blamed it on Logan Will as being slow (apparently, as usual). In fact, he was extremely slow in answering texts and there was no way to reach him by phone (when you call his text number you get a consistent "call ended" message). Teamshares.com claims to be a company that buys companies whose owners are retiring, and turns them around, and makes them employee-owned companies after 20 years. LOL. My opinion: this smells like fishy Wall Street scam. Buy companies cheap, cook the books, sell them, develop and investment portfolio?... The interview was either a sham to appear to investors like they are up and coming, or I was a threat to homeostatic management (all of who by the way were Anglo, in a City with 60% Hispanic enthicity). And Coronado WAS Hispanic-owned. For a company that claims it is a sales-oriented flooring sales and installation company, they would not return calls, and had no intention of even sending me a thank you letter. It's a small world. I found them VERY unprofessional, inconsiderate of my time (both Coronado AND this mysterious, "Teamshares"), and typically a company will at least offer you a cup of coffee---nope. They told me they contract out their installation work---there is NO in-house installation team. Summary: God guides me, and I will keep and move my contracting company to NM. In any case, I seriously doubt that I will recommend them to my clients, nor buy products from them. Not a good experience of vibe from these firms.
