Jimena Cortes with Wizard Media was hired to conduct a LinkedIn campaign for our conferences. She did an adequate job for the first event and we paid her according to our Agreement. She made an effort during our first campaign and proved her worth for a second campaign.
We negotiated a new deal with our second event and she agreed to handle all lead generation and closing sales from the leads she generated. One month before the event she unilaterally changed the terms without our agreement. She did not close any sales on her own and this caused irreparable damage to us financially. This forced us to scramble paying large sums of money with Facebook advertising to fill in the gaps to avoid financial disaster.
Each spot in our 7-day event had a price tag of $15,000 due to the high costs of the venues and offerings to the attendees. She was going to attend as part of her compensation. She cancelled attending the event a few days before the start and this had an opportunity cost of $15,000.
We had two leads from her lead campaign. She was supposed to close these leads. When I called her about the leads, she said she was on vacation. When we finally spoke she said her assistant was having personal problems and this was the cause.
Jimena said "I will fire her and I will get to this matter when I return from my travels." Her vacation was over one month overseas. She failed to accept her negligence and accountability for a failed campaign.
What makes matters worse is this forced us to call the leads with an outside sales team and had to discount heavily to fill spots. She did not accept the necessity to cover our fixed costs or efforts to close the two leads that raised their hands.
Then she asked to be paid for the two leads and threatened to send the matter to collections if we did not pay her $1500 in 24 hours. We only agreed to pay her for closed sales she handled.

She owes us $15,000 and refuses to pay.
