INTERLAKE CHEMICALS

I make too much money
Complaint Rating:  0 % with 1 votes
Company information:
Interlake Chemicals
Manitoba
Canada

I purchased a distributorship from Interlake Chemicals and was told I could make money. What they didn't tell me was just how much money I could make. In the first 3 months, I made over $75, 000.00 and had to re-order chemical much faster than I thought.
Now I have been put into a higher tax bracket. I have never made this kind of money before, and really don't know what to do.
When I was told I could make lots of money, I believed them because the product is so fantastic. Everywhere I went, Hotels, Restaurants, Senior Homes, you name it, they all had problems with their floors and bathtubs being slippery.
They could not believe that I could solve their problem with the Sure Step chemical. I knew I would be successful if I went out and presented this fantastic product, but I just didn't think i would have to hire an account so soon. Now that I hired an accountant, I was told I can purchase that new vehicle I always wanted.

I am so happy I purchased this distributorship, i just wish the company would have been more up front with me that I would make such an income...it really is incredible. In the lst 6 months I have made more money than I did working at my old job for 2 years.

Well, Mr. I MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY, I suspect you are nothing but an Interlake Chemical’s shill. Dan Hammond and Glen Stroud were involved, along with Guy Paul Beaupre and George MacDonald, in the biggest business opportunity fraud in Canada. They used the same type of shilling tactics in their business fraud.

Wow, where does Monte Willis come up with this rubbish. It should be known that in fact it was Monte Willis who worked with Mr. George MacDonald, and wanted to take the company! Monte Willis worked as Mr. MacDonald's right hand man right to the end.
On top of that, Monte Willis then started to ask between $35, 000.00-$50, 000 for a franchise and all he does is buy product from companies, re-labels the product and asks for thousands of dollars.

As the Reverend from Memphis says..."Monte Willis cannot be trusted" And that is a fact.

REPOST

Floor Safety USA survives from supply side sales. We add only those as dealers who know us and have used our products FIRST. We do not have the same goals as Interlake thus we can take the time to send out samples.
We love that our potential partners are making sure that this is the right move for both groups.

Why do we entertain these slanderous posts by Dan Hammond? Our name and our reputation is one reason.

We also enjoy educating people about the business. In addition if we can spare some good person the pain, and suffering that many have endured along with the embarrassment of having been scammed out of in some cases over a hundred thousand dollars...then we have done our job, no, our duty.

Mr. Hammond and his team hate the truth. Notice how he goes after his OWN distributors when they have the courage to complain? Many of you have found the numbers to Sure Step distributors on your own, you may have noticed that some are very reluctant to speak to you openly. Why is that?

In some cases they may think you are a company plant, a mole who is calling to check to see if they can be trusted to tow the company line.

If they open up to an unknown person and the caller is a mole, or they know that you ARE going tell Interlake that you had something negative to say. That happened when the email below was sent to a potential distributor in Knoxville Tn. what did Mr. Knoxville do? Told Interlake. Then according to the originator of the email, he got a call from Interlake. He said it was not a good one and he was afraid of losing his chances of getting his investment back.. Call him now and he will tell you he is expanding and dropping everything else he doing to concentrate on his Sure Step business.

Have you noticed some of those you call say they will call you back, wonder why? Many no longer are doing Sure Step, and they know that nothing they say is going to make a difference to most, Interlake will just say, oh, they never worked, they had a bad attitude or as you may have noticed...anything else they want to say.

You see, Dan and his team think everyone will lay down and take their lies and slander, they think that they are protected by being from another country.

This even AFTER being forced to return money to unhappy investors. Let me assure them and you, they are not out of touch at all.

I was a Sure Step distributor, I was a PRIZED trainer, I know EVERYTHING about them. I have used the Sure Step product, it works, not as well as many others I have tried, but it does work, is it worth what they ask for a distributorship? You know how I feel.

Subject: Revolt


Monte,

Greetings from .
Are you aware that there is a mini revolt brewing within the Sure Step family of distributors?
Thought you might want to keep your eye on it.

On an other matter, business has been very weak this winter and I thought that by now I could send you $1, 000.00 to activate a product line account. It hasn't happened and I'm going into the spring season without your products. When things turn around you'll be the first to know. I have two shows this week and should have a handle on what's up.

Warning!

The video that is being sent out by Interlake Chemicals is very deceptive. How deceptive?

The "distributors" who endorse Interlake on the video, well two of them have not been Sure Step distributors in years! One, while a nice guy, is a master distributor who closes little if any market side business.

An exciting announcment! Become an Interlake distributor for penny's on the dollar or maybe even FREE!!

How can this be when the Interlake package is 24, 500.00 dollars?

This offer can be made due to the fact that several hundred Sure Step distributors have garages FULL of the Sure Step product and they want SOMEONE to come and get it...NOW! They will even train you how to be a distributor!

As a former Sure Step distributor and as a former top Interlake trainer I must warn you once again, the Sure Step product is a very dangerous one. Not only does the product pose possible dangers to the floors(if you leave it on too long it burns the surface), it also is a DEADLY acid.

Yes, I used the product 5 years ago, and I am guilty of not checking for myself what I was working with. The Interlake team said it was safe, no worries for them however, because they NEVER have done work with the product. Oh sure, they will pour some on a tile once in a while, but they NEVER have to be locked in a building with it for hours. So for sure, they are not worried about it being dangerous to property or you health.
It is ONE of the reasons I left.

Some of you have said, "several Sure Step distributors have told me the product works". And once again, I will agree. Think about this however, if your doctor says you have a serious health problem that could be solved with very invasive surgery or with a simple medication, which would you choose? The medication of course if it will make you better.

The point? Yes, the Sure Step product works ok, but why use something so very dangerous and expensive when there are MANY safer alternatives?

Oh, yea, not to mention a Sure Step distributorship is VERY expensive. It is also a ONE trick pony, do not believe them when they say it solves over 80 percent of all slippery floor issues, if that were true, I would only need one type of product.

All that being said, if you would like to take us up on the Interlake Sure Step distributorship for penny's or for free deal, please let us know and we will connect you to a VERY motivated seller near you.

Now for those of you who wonder why I am going all Ralph Nader or Ted Kennedy on you, again, it is to defend our company against the lies and slander that are being vomited out by the Interlake gang of thugs.

Most who invested in this product did not get a heads up warning like this, you have, if you choose to join them, at least you are doing it with your eyes wide open.

Best wishes!

This just in. One of the former Interlake distributors is posting what he says is a large partial list of Interlake Distributors.

You should wait on the list, or, you can ask Interlake to give you the entire list now, then again...it makes a great amount of sense to just wait until the list comes out.

If however you have 25, 000.00 that you want to lose RIGHT NOW go ahead and "wire" your money to Interlake. Or... there is a guy in prison that madoff with billions of dollars, he says he can promise you a 100% return on your money!

To the Interlake gang. I guess you missed that song about the angry American?

How many people can say the booked Letterman, Donny and Marie, Entertainment Tonight, Nickelodeon, and had features in both regional and national publications? How many people can say they have had number one songs on the radio and had groundbreaking results with household names?

I tell people all the time that the entertainment industry is my golf and although I am not a GREAT player, I make a few hole in one's every once in a while.

In my younger years I got to know a great many people like Dan, Glen, Roger and Frank, I worked for the Georgia department of corrections. So as we would tell those criminals, do the crime do the time, you are going to pay for preying on innocent people. Why don't you just stay in your own country and leave US citizens alone?
Oh, that's right, they all know about your scams there.

Guess what, everyone knows about them here as well.

Just a reminder to the new ones here, Dan started all of this in an effort to blame me for his distributor problems.

And for the record, I do not need new distributors to survive, we have real customers, and quite frankly, Sure Step distributors are some of my best customers! At least the few who are still trying to make it.


Hey, here is one my artists www.myspace.com/thebenrobinsonband

We wrote and produced it, he is part of a national upcoming multi magazine promotion.

If you like, you can buy his songs on both Amazon or Itunes.

We think is one of our best products.

I also manage Fox News personality Jim Van Fleet

Why Floor Safety then? I love to solve problems, and slip and falls are one of the most devastating problems we have.

By the way, in the last week, we have sent MANY samples out to potential customers and partners, some are distributors of you know who...funny, it seems Dan has a bigger problem than me.

It is sad to have to respond to such a vile little man, but I helped get this person and his creepy little bunch of trolls started so I will defend and protect others until they go away. They are below me, but the ideal of protecting others from them is not.

So why did I help them, well I knew a product like this and more was needed, and they promised they would not rip people off and they would offer great customer service. Sadly their greed and contempt for their customers soon took center stage.


All you have to do is ask the other distributors and most if not all will tell you the same.

Email me for the list of distributors.

Poor little Monte Willis. He is full of lies. HE HAS NO MONEY.
MONTE WILLIS HAS NO MONEY!! End of story. He is broke and that is why he just sits at home on his computer.
I will tell you again Willis, we are a Canadian company, and we have incorporated in the USA as well, so sorry Willis, we are not going anywhere.

Oh one other thing that Monte always forgets to tell you... Monte was charging his distributors (although he never did set one up) and he was asking $36, 500.00...can you imagine someone giving Monte Willis, the great Country star promoter, $36, 500.00!!! can you imagine. Just get in touch with us and I will get you the email he sends out asking for the $36, 500.00
So let's see, that didn't work, so he thought, I know, I will change the company name and form another one called Extrem Traction, and I will ask for $8, 500.00
Now Willis wants you to give him $8, 500.00 (which no one has)
But the one thing Willis is famous for, and that is failure.
He failed in the recording business, he failed at working at Home Hardware, and now he is failing at this new venture...why, because Willis is a failure. He was never very good at training for us, as we found out.

Do you know what WILLIS did, and he was so stupid to think that we wouldn't find out.
Get this, we paid Monte Willis to go and train a few of our distributors, and behind our backs, he was buying cleaning chemicals from other companies, and then when he went to train our guys, Willis was trying to switch them over to him. Now you be the judge, how unethical is that!!??
We paid him to go and train OUR people, and then he tries to get them to come over to him, and on top of that he was asking them for $36, 500.00, right after they apaid us and became our distributor...Only a common crook would do something like that.
Well, we did find out, and FIRED WILLIS on the spot. Ever since then he has been so bitter about our succuss, that is why you see him, and only him, so often rantin about our company. I can't blame him in a way, because he knows that we invented the NON SLIP chemical, and we MANUFACTURE it, so he will NEVER have a product like ours again.
If you want to see what MONTE WILLIS has to say about our great company and our great product, watch his video talking about us:
http://www.interlake-chemicals.com/misc_vids/monte.php
username: videos
password: sst230707
This will explain how Monte truly feels about us. We are so greatful that Willis asked to go on tape...we didn't ask him to, he suggested it to us, so we agreed, and he is so good on film. We are so happy that Monte can finally tell ONE TRUTH, and the truth is in the pudding, so to speak...so THANKS again for doing this for us Monte.

But Monte was never that good at selling, but he understood our products, and he believes and knows it is the best in the world, and that is why we allowed him to be a trainer, until of course he became a thief and stole from us and we fired him...but prior to that, he knew our product inside and out...and that is why he so desparately wanted to go on video so he could tell everyone how great our company and our product is...and for that we thank you Monte.

What great country star is going to put his life in Monte Willis' hands...none, but he has the audacity to put up on his website that he is a huge promoter...and oh yeah, he buys some chemicals from companies, relabels them, and says, "hey give me $36, 500.00!!!, why, I don't know...why not...if you do I will also make you a country recording star!!!"
Do remember Monte when you were actually asking $36, 500.00 to become a distributor for Florr Safety USA??? Do you remember that...unbelievable... I don't see any of your so called customers Monte, not a one. You are a thief and you only rely on others to steal from.

Willis says he keeps making these new products, he says he has and owns a manufacturing PLANT...Can you believe these lies.
Just ask him to see his PLANT...please someone ask Monte Willis to see his MANUFACTURING FACILITY, as he likes to call it, or one of his many Regional Offices arounf the country...please I am dying to see the PLANT and his OFFICES. You won't see them, WHY...because Monte Willis lies to make himself look bigger...why do you think he mentions that he was a hug successful country & western promoter and has been on David Letterman, the Tonight show...do you believe this guy, I mean come on, you have to love this guy!
Willis has since removed the rubbish about being a huge country & western singer promoter from his website, but it was there for a long time. I think he might have got some calls from his so-called "singers" agents to remove the lies from his site...Not the brightest star in the galaxy!

Then ask him to see the deed, he says he owns a PLANT...what an outright lie.
Willis also says right on his website that he has offices in:
Anchorage, Denver, Detroit, Virginia, New West Palm Beach, New York...and the list goes on and on and on.
This guy never stops. Ask to see one of his offices...just one. He does not have offices in these cities, he does not have a manufacturing plant, HE does not have MONEY!! He is full of lies and everyone sees right through his lies.

Willis also does not even put down where he lives, he claims to now be based out of OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON????????????? but he is in Jacksonville, Florida...why does he not put up his contact information up on his wensite????
Go to our website, and uyou will see all 3 of our offices, where we can be found with all the phone numbers, etc...all Willis has is a toll-free number...which is free by the way and anyone can get a toll-free number. There is a reason for this, and the reason is he does not want you to stop IN to one of his offices, because there is NO OFFICE...but hey, he wants $36, 500.00 or $8, 500.00 or whatever you want to give him for his cleaning products that you can buy at WalMart, but no, give Willis $36, 500.00!!! well fortunatey, no one did.
If his Elders knew what he was up to, I understand they would toss him out.

The most disturbing is that WILLIS was asking for $36, 500.00 for a distributorship, $36, 500.00!!!????????? can you believe this guy...I mean come on, you almost have to love this guy for trying...he just doesn't give up. He will change his name again and aske for $500.00 if he has to, but one thing is for sure, he will just keep buying chemicals (and then he will claim that he MANUFACTURES them)
Then he changed his company name to:
EXTREME TRACTION, and is now asking for $8, 500.00
Again, Willis buys some chemical, many of the chemicals he buys have changed because his suppliers cut him off for NON PAYMENT, angain remember he HAS NO MONEY) and now he will tell you that "I will ship you chemical from a guy a buy chemical from, and you can put your own name on it" this way, Monte justs sells some chemical, no one has any brand recognition becuase everyone is using the same cleaner but calling it something else!

I have said enough. You decide about Monte Willis, the Country & Western Promoter/chemical thief.

All you need to do is ask to see his FACILITY, and watch him cringe...he will quickly come up with some ridiculous story that, no it is not his FACILITY, he owns it but he does not want his name on it, and that they manufacture for him under license. Again, have some fun with it and enjoy hearing him lie.
Better yet, come join our team of ever growing distributors around the world.

We are going to be at the Internationl Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show again for the 4th year in a row. This show is again being held at the Jacob Javits Centre in Nrey Yory, NY from November 8-10, 2009...come visit us at our booth#2069 to see our full line of Non Slip chemicals for all hard mineral floors, and of course our new line of products for Vinyl & Linoleum and even Hard Wood floors.

Monte will not be there, because he cannot afford to do this trade show.
We are looking forward to a huge turn out this year, and again we will be the only company that manufactures a NON SLIP chemical at this very prestigous trade show. There will be hundreds of buys from all of the major Hotels & Motels, & Restaurants attending this trade show...it really is a show you cannot miss if your are in the Floor Safety business, like we are, and have been for many years.
So hope to see you there.

Oh, I just found the site where Monte Willis lies about promoting the likes of Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and others.
go to:
www.floorsafetycanada.com
Monte forgot to change the information on this website. He has so many lies going at once, it's hard to keep track, but if you go to this website, you will see that he claims to be one of largest PR companies in Nashville...and oh, he buys chemical from companies and relabels and wants these huge country stars to have Monte Willis to handle the PR for them and many others. I am starting to love this guy. I have never met someon that can carry on a lie for so long. You are the best there is Monte, at lying I mean...the best!

So why would he be running around the country five years ago training for our company when he was in the midst of representing and writing songs for these HUGE stars.
And why was he sleeping on the couch of one our employees when he was doing all of this. Willis does not have two red cents to rub together, that is why we felt bad for him and let him sleep on the couch for over 3 months...and he is trying to tell you at the same time he was sleeping on the couch, he was writing number one hits for Faith Hill & Tim McGraw and hanling their PR work and setting up dates on Letterman & the Tonight Show. All I can say is AMAZING, simply AMAZING.

His lies are too huge to keep track of. You better look at the site quick, because once Willis sees this, he will have to remove it just like he did with his USA address

Oh, the other thing, you know that yellow dryer he shows front and center on his website?
Well there is a guy in Denver Colorado selling them for around $ 125.00 - $150.00 bucks, or less.
But do you think Willis cares about that? He has this machine front and center on his website, and he is asking around $240.00 for this thing, more if he thinks he can get it from you!
Just another great product that Monte claims he manufactures offered by the Marketing Major Monte Willis!!

The name of the product that is on the front page of Willis's website, is:
safe-t-buoy
Again, That's
SAFE-T-BUOY
If you want you can purchase this product directly on the internet from a company in Denver. Monte has told people that he makes this yellow dryer at his manufacturing plant, and of course you can now catch him in another lie. Why would you pay Monte over double the price when you can go directly to the source? And why would you pay $36, 500.00 or $8, 500.00 to become one of his distributors when you can buy the products directly from the source? He does'nt offer you anything, no training, no advertising, no national trade shows, no nothing...it's a joke.

Just google safe-t-buoy and you can purchase the drying unit directly for the guy selling these on the internet...you see this is what Monte does, he finds products, then he claims that he manufactures them and asks for huge money, when you can go directly to the source. But I think when Monte goes to sleep at night, he truly makes himself believe that he DOES make these things, and when he wakes up in the morning, he believes he is the Manufacturer. Monte will look you right in the eyes and say "I manufacture all of the products and I invented them and I do this all in my manufacturing facility, and I distribute them through all of my many regional offices around the country." If you say "hello" to Monte from let's say, New York, then he puts down on his website that he has a regional office in New York. Hey, a guy knows him there, so Monte feels he can lie to others and say he now has an office in New York! Well Monte, let's see your office in New York, or in anchorage, or in Detroit...the list of lies just doesn't stop,

For the Safe-t-buoy, just call the guy in Denver at: 615-627-7058
He will tell you directly that Monte Willis does not manufacture this unit and that Monte is telling you a lie if he is telling you has has an exclusive on this unit, Monte does not have an exclusive on anything.

By the way, I spelled the name wrong for the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show, it is in New York, NY at the Jacob Javits centre from Novemebr 8-10th, 2009
Be sure to stop by booth number 2069 to see our fantastic line of Non Slip products.

Thanks Dan. You are so sweet. When I was young, my mom told me when a girl hits you it means she loves you...

And you did say you love me...is it spring yet?


Why respond to your cute little love letters when I know you are just playing with my affections?

WELL, since I am broke, and living under Interstate 295 at the Blanding exit in Jacksonville Florida, really what else have I got to do?

My wife and dog left methat one truly hurt, (only a REAL country agent could slyly fit that in), but, on the bright side, the KFC right down the road always throws out a lot of that new grilled chicken!

Man, that stuff is great even cold. I think they over cook the green beans, but them again, that may be just me. The biscuits come in handy if the cops try to roust us, a little syrup and we have a party. l love those guys and gals!

Oh and I know you are concerned about my safety, but do not worry, I got hold of an old shell from a Snapper lawn mower, then I dug a hole, and every night I pull it over me(or when the other's come after me).

I swear sometimes, I think you have been saying bad things about me to these guys.

I am however the only one of the homeless people here with a laptop and it does create a bit of jealousy, the light bothers them they say, complainers.

I also have my cell phone, fax, printer, I should pawn them you say? NO WAY!

Faith and Tim may call at anytime, shoot, Letterman loves to come by my OFFICE in the woods...he wants to date the old lady who serves as my shipping clerk, I cannot blame him...with her teeth in, she is in truth retro hottie.

About my factory? You are wrong, I found an old tub down by the creek and that is where I mix and label my goods. I know, I know, now you feel bad for being so mean to me. Why do we always hurt the ones we love?!

We Americans can do so much with water and a rock.

UPS, Fed. Ex, and others have been great to me as well...they continue to come by my hole and pick up products going out to the few distributors of yours that refuse to give up.

Dan, why don't you do what your few surviving distributors do? Come on and buy my repackaged, relabeled, stolen and whatever else you said about them products?

Look, we can save you THOUSANDS of dollars on shipping!

Our products(or whomever they belong to) are non hazardous AND they cost about one third if not less than your products. Then your distributors will have something for every slippery surface, and you could also say..our products are American made.

And I know this is a negative to you but...they will give your distributors a much great chance of success, just ask your distributors who are buying from me now, hey call and I will give you the FULL list who are doing so.

One more negative sweetheart, our products will not KILL your distributors, so their territory may not be open again for awhile.

Folks, read all the posts, by Danny boy and believe them if you like.

I and others expose them in other posts, just Google Floor Safety USA, you will find those tidbits.

But keep this in mind, the people on the video they sent or are sending to you...most of them of them have not been with the company for years!!! Why would they do that?

And if they will not give a list of distributors?

Oh, don't worry, I will take care of that and you can make up your own mind. Beware though, I may have planted all these fake distributors all around the world! YOU KNOW HOW CRAFTY WE HOMELESS ARE!

Sorry, Bob who is visiting me in my little dug out tipped his malt liquor over and it hit the all caps buttom.
Dang it Bob, you almost wasted the whole can, now it is your turn to hold the sign.

Where was I? Oh yea...

You make a great deal of noise about the shows you go to, however, I know for a FACT that you use those leads to lure new people in, NOT give them to present distributors.

Well, I have to run, Marie Osmond is coming over for dinner, ever since I pretended to write this song for her, she just will not leave me alone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yw92105WnM

P.S.
I was the second Sure Step distributor in America, I had the North Flordia area.

Here is a recent correspondence from a present Sure Step distributor. I will give you his number to call if you want to be sure. I do leave off his name to keep the gang from screaming at him.

Monte,
I for one am glad you are pursuing us and looking to help us grow our businesses. Sure Step does not understand marketing and support. I hope you found the winning of the Sure Step race a positive moment in SS history. (not) ...these guys are worse than Canadian Health Care...which is coming to a town near you. I look forward to selling with you. I will contact you soon.

Peace be with you

Here is another:

Monte,

On an other matter, business has been very weak this winter and I thought that by now I could send you $1, 000.00 to activate a product line account. It hasn't happened and I'm going into the spring season without your products. When things turn around you'll be the first to know. I have two shows this week and should have a handle on what's up.

Hey, sorry about the typo's, the bugs are bad out here.

This is a quote from Dan that once again shows that he just spits stuff out without thinking.

"Just google safe-t-buoy and you can purchase the drying unit directly for the guy selling these on the internet...you see this is what Monte does, he finds products, then he claims that he manufactures them and asks for huge money, when you can go directly to the source". Dan Hammond

Now here is what is on our site:

This upcoming new product takes proactive floor safety to a never before reached level. This battery powered Wet Floor warning sign is equipped with a long lasting, high velocity fan that blow dries a just mopped floor quickly and efficiently.

•Run time For Light & Fan Is Approximately 2 Hours
•Air Flow Covers and Area 3-8 ft. Wide and over 49 ft. Long. (Air Movement Can be Felt on Skin at 40 Ft.)
•Dries Mopped Floors or Floor Finish up to 75% Faster Than Normal Evaporation
•Dries Spills, Mopped Areas, Rest Rooms While You Wait.
•Improving the Safety and Cleanliness of Your Facility and Your Staffs' Productivity
•240 CFM Turbo Fan Does Not Ripple Floor Finish or Blow Items From Shelves Into Wet Finish
•Can be Used as a Warning Beacon for Hazardous or Construction Areas That Take Hours or Days to Repair or Correct
•Drastically Reduces Time you are Exposed to Liability
•Unit is Designed to Last Years and Any Parts Needed can be Ordered and are Simple to Install

Hmm. no mention of exclusive, or that we manufacture the unit. Verdict? Either you cannot read or...you lie.


Now about that unit, it was invented by a man who lives in Denver, you know that Dan because you called him a few months back. We would love to have the exclusive to distribute the product but I do not like tying people up until I know we can do something with it. I do love the concept, and we are letting our customers look at it. I WISH I would have thought of it!!! Then again Danny boy, you did say I was a lovable idiot.

Danny, you make such a big deal out of me finding others who invent great things, your point?

If you want to be successful surround yourself with very smart people. At least that is what I have heard.

You have taken a different path, you have surrounded yourself with some of the best liars in the business, and I suppose that is why you have been able to bilk so many people out of their money. What is it up to now? 2 million dollars?


Truly, this is not about my company folks, we are just a scapegoat he uses to deflect his distributor complaints onto.

His gang is very angry about the private label offering, www.thefloorsafetystore.com . If you so desire, you can get 100 times what Sure Step offers at 24, 700.00 for only 8500.00!! If he can discredit me online he feels people who find us will walk away.

In fact they are in record numbers...walking away from him!

Few of the Interlake potential distributors join us, but some of our best have come from those calls. And I mean no offence, but those are the ones we are looking for.

One last question.

If they send a video out with so called distributors speaking about how much they are making or how much they love their new business and the people on the video have not been distributors FOR YEARS, really, is that not enough to show you what these people are about? COLD HARD FACTS!

I suspect soon there will be a class action suit, just a matter of time, Americans can only take so much before they start fighting back, and even more so when the attack is coming from foreign invaders. Paul Revere is on his horse!!

Hey Danny boy you are right! I did leave this up on the Floor Safety Canada site.

I took it off the US site because one of my customers said it detracted from my goals? Maybe I should put it back up.


A marketing major Monte got his start on the streets of New York and Nashville working in the music publishing business, as a writer he scored several covers of his and his co-writer Robert's songs.

To support his family during the lean times, he worked in facility maintenance for over five years, "I was probably one of the worst maintenance men you would ever meet, but I worked with a group of super talented engineers and fellow maintenance men who put up with me and taught what a huge challenge it is to keep a facility up and running. I am still using and benefiting from what they taught me".

He went on to found one of Nashville's most successful music publishing companies, scoring number one hits by Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and many others.

As a PR agent he booked many national shows including ET, and The Late Show with David Letterman.

After selling the company he began researching his next venture, "I had a friend who owned several very successful Ace Hardware stores in South Florida, and one of the greatest needs of customers was anti-slip products. He was selling truck loads of a coating for ramps and sidewalks, but he had no answer for those who had slippery surfaces that a coating was inappropriate for".

Hearing about a company called Interlake that had a product for tile called Sure Step, he attended a meeting to see the product and was impressed, "They needed someone to kick things off here in the US so they gave me a few gallons and off I went to Jacksonville, Florida".

After some initial success he was asked to train other dealers, I thought it would be a good idea to meet fellow distributors, but as I traveled North America I realized just as I had seen back home, that one product would not solve even a small percentage of the floor safety issues out there. All the dealers also had great concerns about using hydrofluoric acid, really one of the most dangerous acids in the world".

It became clear that much more was needed to help solve the deadly scourge of slip, trip and falls, he looked for the products that not only were the most effective, affordable, easy to use, but also enviromentaly friendly. "I am proud to say that our Grease Release, Grout Blaster, Traction, Floor Safety Clean really our entire line is we believe the best in the world, and they do it with out harsh corrosive chemicals

Thanks Danny boy, that is cool stuff!

I do not limit myself to one thing, there are many things that I have a passion for, stopping slip and falls is one, music is another, and I also enjoy public speaking, coaching and mentoring children whenever possible.

Danny boy, I also like walks on the beach, sunsets...


Repost: Just to defend the family name!

What our customers say about our products:

"No company we have ever found provides anything like these products and services. We recommend them to our largest and most important customers".
Major insurance Representative.

"Just incredible what we have accomplished with these products, we looked everywhere, no one else has them!" Large California school district.

The truth always comes out, if you would like to try our products please give us a call.

"I have known and worked with Monte for over 20 years and I can say with out hesitation he is one of the finest, most caring and honest people you will ever meet. Do not believe the slander that is being written about him, call me and I will tell you myself what kind of person he is". Father of a superstar and artist manager

"Monte is a genius, and he has integrity. I am a political consultant and a talk radio personality and I deal with people from every walk of life and if I had to choose someone I know I can trust, it would be Monte. Please feel free to get my contact information from Floor Safety, I would be glad to speak with you".

"Monte has done more for us in a week than many people do in a year, he is a person I am trusting with my dreams". Singer and TV personality".

"I manage one of the worlds best known stars and I trusted Monte to work with me and I called him my partner he even co managed my daughter, we consider him family and a dear friend".

"I am a former Sure Step Distributor and I can tell you, everything the Interlake crowd is writing and saying about Monte is a lie. My customers love the Floor Safety USA products and they have changed my business model completely. With Sure Step it was one screaming match after another, they do nothing they say they are going to do. Please feel free to call me.

"I gave Interlake over a hundred thousand dollars and I can tell you it was one of the worst mistakes of my life, many years of hell followed. Please do not give these people anything, not even the time of day, if you do you will regret it. Call me if you would like to ask me yourself".

"Before working with Monte I had not written a song in many years, he got me writing again, but not only that, we got a number one song that brought my band back to almost as big as in our heyday". Superstar singer

At the end of a day or a life a name is all you have, while not perfect in any way, I am trying to do things right.

If you would like to speak to any of these people let me know. Now on the superstar singer...you may have to ask him at one of his bands concerts.

Here is a Sure Step distributor that helped close his first ever customer, also we supplied him with the products and information he needed to hanlle a very dangerous floor situation. So, why did he call me instead of Sure Step? He said that it took days for them to get back to him, if they did at all. So we did everything we could do to take care of him and his customer.

He liked us so much that he even agreed to endorse us! Something went wrong though... here is what he wrote me.

Monte.
On the subject of my assumed "endorsement" listed on your company website; as we agreed over a month ago, please have it removed post-haste. It has caused me strained relations between myself and my franchiser and supplier of Sure Step. I want to cultivate healthy working relations with as many professionals as I can within the industry, so again, please give immediate attention to this request.
Let me know when this has been done.

Regards,


Well when they saw his endorsment on our site THEN he got a call, must not have been to wish him well...

So why not stand up to them, he was afraid they would pull is distributorship, they have done it to others, and he did not want to lose his investment. Understandable.

I can give you his number but I would not expect him to fess up, they have the situation under control now.

ENJOY!

Here is a blast from the past! One of the early Sure Step guys.

Just spoke to a guy who made a lot of money with Sure Step! Really, he did. Hey, I did to!

However...he said he could not be in the same room with Dan Hammond or Glen Stroud or he would end up going to jail. He had lots of names for them that I will not even type here. I would give you more details as to why, but they would figure it out and go after him, and although I think they are bad businessmen, I do not want some one to break thier legs!

You see, we all know the IDEA is good, Trusty Step, Posi Grip, Safe Stride they all did it first, Sure Step came later, the problem? THEM and the overall weaknesses of those classes of products. And as noted some of those solutions are VERY dangerous to work with.

Danny boy, look what you got started a classroom and a reunion of ALL the Sure Step distributors from the past.
You feel warm and fuzzy yet?

You should leave us out of your comments, that is just good for you business.
