Great Opportunity
Now sales are sales, and like everyone knows youre going to have people that can do it, and those that cant. Some people really do lack the attitude or personality to really get out there and make it happen.
What Entourage is, is a great opportunity for those people willing to put in the work to figure it out! I have learned enough these past few years to run a successful business of my own, and couldn't have done it, nor continue to do it, without the years of experience and help from Brian and Entourage that I have gotten and will continue to seek.
One thing i have learned is that whether its a good week or a bad week, how hard I work and the attitude i do it with is the only determining factor. Great OPPORTUNITY not a guarantee!

Review in Employees and Ex-employees category from Fort Myers, Florida
I started working for Entourage after I graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder. I initially took the position as a filler until I found something more fit towards my major.
I was skeptical at first because I was hearing I could be a manager in a very rapid period of time, unlike a typical corporate position which could take years to move up. I was hungry for money so I stuck with it, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. This business has forced me to change my work habits as well as my personal habits for the better. I have learned invaluable lessons that I can utilize for the rest of my life, and have created life-long business and personal relationships in the process.
Sure this business is not for everybody, it takes a certain level of commitment, hard work and a great attitude to succeed, but how do you expect to succeed in anything if you don't have those attributes? This business has created a future for me and my family and I couldn't be more grateful for the humbleness and mentorship of Mr.
McGuigan and his organization.
Dedication, hard work, and perseverance do pay off!
14 years of my professional career has been spent engaged in the professional workforce environment. During that span, I have worked with numerous companies in various industries. My career has afforded me opportunities to be associated with very successful and highly reputable companies and mentors. However, I have never had a better leader than Brian McGuigan, of Entourage Management.
Brian provided me with an extraordinary opportunity. He provided me with the chance to continue to develop as a leader, and the opportunity to become the owner of my own small business. He NEVER promised me that I would “get rich quickly”. Nor did he promise me that it would be easy. However, he did promise me continued support if I were to remain focused and work harder for myself than I ever have for anyone else. Brian is not only an incredible mentor, but he has also proven to be a loyal and reliable friend.
If you are looking for an opportunity to work and develop yourself into a leader, and possibly own a small business of your own, then search no further. Brian McGuigan and Entourage Management have the skills and experience to help you succeed. Just be aware of what you will need to provide: the work ethic, attitude, and drive to attain your goals!

This Is An Opportunity
Entourage Management has provided a real career opportunity. The reason most of the people on these sites bash companies like Entourage is because they aren't willing to do the work necessary to find success in the opportunity. In all honesty, it says more about the unemployed people who have the audacity to post comments like this.
The entry level aspect means you'll initially be working a direct marketing position- so you're actively engaging with customers, learning the product, and marketing services inside of reputable retailers... would you feel better about the position if you were sitting in a cubicle all day with a head set making phone calls? Not me. I prefer direct marketing because it yields direct results.
Success is only achieved through hard work- and Entourage provided me with real financial opportunity to change my life for the better.

Entourage Management Opportunity
Out of college, I had little job experience and no longer wanted to pursue what my degree qualified me for. All I knew was that I wanted to venture out into the business world and I needed to find a company that was willing to train me and provide the professional development to make up for my lack of experience.
Brian McGuigan, at Entourage Management, offered me that opportunity.
There, I was able to learn the basics of marketing and through their management training program, was cross-trained in business management. I am grateful for Brian's leadership along the way and offering me an opportunity that I will never feel stagnant in.

One word doesn't cut it if you're fired.
Desperately in need of a job I went in for an interview and let me tell you, i was impressed! All the people working there are terribly kind and positive (Not naming a few but they tend to be agressive anyway and I myself tend to be that way) and wanting for you to suceed, including the owner, Brian. I read reviews before I went in so I was fully prepared for the worst. They had me trained up in a week for Sams club, but changed me to best buy to see if it was a better fit and it was, but it set me way behind the curve for achieving sales. I made two, one that didn't go through because her credit check failed, so I spent my own time on my one day off making sure she got her service for which she was massively grateful, and another young couple used to the state. This of course was below the mark.
Despite what they tell you and how they dance around your questions (They certainnly did mine...) it's a numbers game. You have to earn at least four apps a week to make base salary. I was hopped around like nuts so it was very hard for me to establish those sales despite the reps training me saying i had promise and I was good at it. Least to say, it sucked, I failed, I was talked to about my low numbers two weeks inand all I wanted to know from day one is if for any forseeable reason, I worked hard, trusted their system, and made an effort every day, would it still come down to numbers for my employment. I never got a straight answer. I stayed out an hour after my scheduled time, sometimes after the store closed, trying. That made no difference. Sales are sales, desptie not having a car, despite standing in the rain for hours and not getting home until one o clock am waiting for a bus, despite getting massively sick, despite wanting to do well for your co workers as well as yourself, it's all for *** without those numbers. I learned that fast.
After talking to Collin, the kind gent that hired me and offered me a phone call from Brian to discuss my future with the company, I waited... and waited some more, until the next day on sunday when I tried to call and text to see if I needed to come in. I hardly had the money to travel there, and I sure as *** needed to spend that time wasted looking for another position. Least to say, I missed my bus there, and got a one word text from Brian.
"No."
I handled it like an adult. If you are great at non agressive sales and know you can do door to door type sales, then give it a shot, you'll probably like it. If you have to transfer three buses and trains to just get to the office, and spend hours of your time just trying to make a sale to no avail depite good work ethic, avoid this, avoid it like you owe it money. Avoid it like your step mother, avoid it like it has cooties.
I didnt call and cuss him out, I didn't leave it at silence, I thanked them for the chance because thats what adults do. Not a one word text like, "K" as a response. Which to be honest, highly offended me. It hurts to know you wasted so much time and money, broke as you are anyway, to be left like last weeks trash!
Had I been in his position and had to make such a decision based on number alone, I'd acknowledge effort at the very least... I'd at least spare a poor girl a phone call to let her go.

Entourage Management - Bullying at its Finest
If you look up Brian McGuigan and his previous business, Adco Management, you'll see that his new company operates under the same premises and that he heartily earned himself the title of liar and cheat. His management style is that of a dictatorship and in order to "motivate" his employees he uses very aggressive tactics including yelling, dropping the F-bomb left and right and making otherwise hardowrking individuals feel ***, weak and inferior. Brian is clearly insecure about his own education and status that he continuously talks down about employees and those with college degrees in order to make himself appear intelligent, confident and in control.
During the interview process he boasts of high-reaching salaries that less than 1% of the individuals hired ever actually attain and misleads that there is an hourly, a salary and a commission structure and that no employee is ever 100% commission but the hourly that is promised is really just an advance and will eventually be drawn from the commission of that employee.
The company operates by bleeding employees lower on the totem pole until they secede while keeping the "supervisors" intrigued with promises of soon-to-come promotions that take easily twice as long to come to fruition than originally proposed.
Everything about the company is misleading. As with most companies, it is a pyramid, but instead of telling it like it is, Brian entices interviewees with talk of the top of the pyramid, not of the actual work required to get there. In the original interview process Brian tells prospects that there is a 49 hour work week but in order to ever move up within the company employees easily work up to 60. The 3 to 6 month "training process" is also a joke, if you get the chance to talk to any of the employees ask them how long they've been there, if they've seen anyone be promoted to management and how long it took that person. The Better Business Bureau also has no record of the company's existence.
Brian McGuigan is not only a dishonorable business man with an inferiority complex likened to a scared high school freshman, he's also a sorry excuse for a decent human being.

Entourage Management is a JOKE!
This job sounded too good to be true and what I found just working a week there is that its really a JOKE!! Trust me this is not worth your time because the churn is very high and honestly is a giant pyramid joke.
Oh yeah the girls who call you back say the company has been in business for over 14 years...NO...LIE!! Adco management was but Entourage has not! I love how someone was being a top seller for only 6 weeks?? Really??
All they do is want you to hawk customers into signing up with DirecTV.
You can make up to $10000 a month....JOKE its $400 a week or 100% commission with working over 45+ hours a week with 1 day off!! No thank you and please find another employer because this company is getting a bad rep inside BestBuy and Sam's Club.

Entourage Management
I just went for an interview with them. First of all thier office is just trashy and unprofessional.
They talked about how much money I can make and how I can run a company by myself. So I guess I got fooled into comming in for another interview. But its all a facade. They want you to do 100% commision sales.
When I asked the rep how much he made a week he said $400/week. But I doubt he even makes that because we spent 8 hours at the bestbuy and did not get any customers. They are very very agressive with thier customers. When one of the customers refused to sign up at the best buy the rep that took me out called the customer a "fat cow".
The old lady was shocked and left.
I dont know why DTV and Bestbuy which are one of favorite brands works with this shady operation. I highly recommend you do not go to this interview.
I too went to an interview with Entourage Management and the office is trashy. There is nothing on the walls and my first impression was it looks like a "ponzi" operation, in the sense of business ethics.
I say this because there is nothing on the walls, his office looks unprofessional and there is nothing on the desk, NOT EVEN A PEN, only a laptop and a stack of papers(which is probably pu thter to make you think he is working) it is almost like they put nothing into their office because when *** hits the fan they can just grab a few things and RUN. The entrance looks nice with a bunch of high end magazines catered to WEALTHY people and has brands like Best Buy, CostCO, DirectTV and Walmart on the walls, but looking at the other offices you can tell they are just trying to make a strong first impression. Leaving the interview I felt I needed to research the company a little more before wasting more time. What I found was alot of negative things and not one posting that was good or contradicted any of the negative.
He even had to change company names from what I found out because of the poor publicity be was getting. I have been looking for a job for a while and have seen similar operations and my impression of him and his attitude fit the bill perfectly for a company who expects high turn over and screws ppl over.
They throw HUGE earnings, promotions and benefits at you and see if you ***. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I must warn you everything about Entourage Management is not what it seems.

Entourage Management Inc.
Entourage management inc. is simply just Adco Management renamed.
It is owned by Brian Mcguigan who also owned Adco Management and obviously changed his company name due to bad press. This is a company that is contracted through Smart Circle international to sell directv inside of retail locations like Best Buy or sam's club. They promise you high earnings and management opportunities in a short time which is simply not true. You can not believe anything that Brian Mcguigan says to you as lying is his business.
His one and only job is to try and get as much out of you for as long as he can until you quit. Beware of Entourage and Brian Mcguigan
Replying to
no one would argue the value of knowing your accountability the problem with people like Brian is that the abuse people and don't really care about them at all. I have personally never met anyone with such an inferiority complex that would treat other people the way that he does make me feel better add on that he's a complete liar and he has zero redeeming qualities other than the ability to succeed in business by taking advantage of other people so if those are the things that you learn from Brian good luck with your career and the rest of your life but I guarantee you'll never make any meaningful relationships.

This job is NOT a scam but the owner Brian mcGugigan is! I worked here for a while and learned all the systems to get myself promoted in good time.
At first i wont lie i wasn't really sure if the job was a fraud or not because i had a place to come to work to every day, and i got paid (even though not well) weekly. Well after MONTHS I realized that it wasnt the job that was the problem (ive since worked in another smart circle office) it was the owner BRIAN MCGUigaN! This *** is an ***! He yells and curses everyone out but then trys to call you his business partner after.
Not only that but he also has never promoted anybody into management like he claims. I was around for over 10months and during the whole thing all i saw was him take the office from people who were better managers than him then promote out their guys after getting Kara and Colin kicked out of the business because of his lies and dictator ways! I still talk to some of them and they hate his guts! He is a liar and a cheat...I caught him and his girlfriend several time messing with my paychecks and the claw back ledger that lindsey keeps but NEVER shows anyone!
How are u supposed to pay back money if you dont know how much u owe?!?! He says Lindsey is his executive assistant but he's screwing her and she steals money like crazy from workers! Then when you try to confront them all of a sudden they disappear or are to busy to talk. On top of that Brian is so stuck up her butt that he wont even listen to anything anyone says about how crooked and lousy she is.
Even though i had a *** of an experience with Brian at Entourage i must admit that the opportunity in Smart Circle is real but, NOT with Brian Mcguigan managing you.
do not work for HIM!!!!!!
You're better off working with a much more competent and trustworthy owner! why get treated like *** when u dont have to?
Good to know this, I have read so much about about him and I have an interview with a Brian at Entourage Management tomorrow. Looks like it would be a waste of time.
Thanks!
This is the third comment I have read about Brian and his tactics. I have an interview tomorrow. NOT GOING!!!!!!
