Global Marketing Specialist Group - experienced MT

Posted: Aug 21, 2010

Please beware of this company. They are literally preying on medical transcriptionists who are having a difficult time finding and keeping a good job (which I think is happening more and more to people who have been doing this for a long time). Anyway, I received an e-mail from them after 9:00 p.m. this evening, a phone call from them (which I didn't answer) and then an e-mail following the phone call. So we have blocked them. They want a fee from MTs, and they will guarantee you several good jobs (I'm sure). What a joke! This is the last thing anyone who is desperate for a job needs. I have been doing this kind of work for 15 years, and I have gone through company after company lately, and it might be easy for someone to end up falling for their nonsense. This company should not exist in my opinion. Good luck to everyone out there who is still an MT. With everything that has changed in this business, I have learned the only way to protect myself now is by having a backup job along with a regular full-time position, and I'm wondering if that is enough. When my kids are a little older, I'm going to leave the business entirely. Companies have ruined what used to be a wonderful career with a lot of potential. Best wishes to all of you....

Thanks for that warning. I am just returning to work as a medical transcriptionist, or medical language specialist, or whatever they want to call us now. LOL

Not sure how this will go, but at least I will give it a try and this board has been great for me to find. Thanks to all of you here.

I posted a warning about this company. SM - Moderator

They are not an MTSO but a recruiting company. I don't believe it is a scam but they are not up front about what how they operate.

Any group with the word "Marketing" in its name - would make me very suspicious! -n/m-

We paid them $625 in June for a GUARANTEE of 70 airport pickup calls per month. We have yet to receive a call. When I contact them they give excuses but no results. I am now dealing with the credit card company for a refund.
STAY AWAY from this company!

A company called Global Marketing Specialist Group has been trying to post ads repeatedly. They are NOT an MTSO company. They want you to pay $165 for a "background check" and then they will give you a list of potential employers or clients. They are trying to post more ads using alternative e-mail addresses such as gmsgtranscription@. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They are not being up front with you and are simply trying to make money from you. You should NEVER pay to work ...

I will appreciate any marketing tips anyone can share. I'm a small MTSO and recently lost a client not due to EMR but the client went bankrupt and still owes me some invoices. I've tried cold calling which worked a few years back but nowadays it doesn't seem to work anymore. Thanks in advance. :) ...

Just thought I would share an observation. Someone was talking to me about a job in sales, network marketing. The big complaint that I initially had against network marketing was based on what I had heard for many years, that it is like a pyramid setup where the guy at the top makes the most money. However, it turns out that with network marketing the guy at the top makes between 1% and 5%, where my profit on my own sales is between 25% and 50%. In contrast, with MT work, I get less than ...

Please don't ask me to read the board. I have. I just need a straight, honest answer and no bashing. I need to know if a cpl line rate is fair for QA. You have to send feedback, have some MTs on full edit, etc. I just don't see making any money, but I would like to hear from others who may be doing the same thing. Thanks a bunch!! ...

The job posting on the job seeker's board sounds fishy to me. It says "no phone calls, please" but there's no phone number or company name even listed! I bet it's one of those scammers that want us to give THEM money, and then they'll let us work for them. ...

Ahima certainly gives it a different spin than MT, and an article at Study.com lists desired or common requirements as associate's or bachelor's degree, with nursing, HIM, or health information technology, and medical coding expertise. So where does Nuance get off expecting "lowly" MTs to do this stuff, with 100% flawless accuracy, on lowly MT pay having to Google everything? I mean, they do not even pay us enough to be "lowly" MTs, and yet expect us to Google and verify that do ...

I have grave concerns regarding our profession. Many of you do as well. I am not normally one who dwells on this sort of thing, but I have seen our profession go from being able to support myself to a profession of hardly making it. I have had to drop my health insurance in order to pay rent and utilities. At my age, this is not a good thing at all. I have scaled back on everything. The only luxury I have is I rent 1 movie a week and then only very inexpensive ...

It is just getting worse and worse. I work Th - Fri, and there isn't even any work on Sat and Sun! I hate giving up my weekend for naught. Fri is the only day I have been getting work. My TSM never answers my emails or phone calls. I sent an email 2 weeks ago asking to be moved to a group with work. After all, MM is hiring. ...

I usually get many of his jobs because I work the night shift and so does he. But really???? ...
